Reply #22: One thing that's changed since '99

[MrBenchley]

is that now we know what an utter pantload the "more guns/less crime" claim is.

As for the Colorado referendum, didn't the courts toss that out as unconstitutional? I wonder how many of those lying about "special rights" are also the RKBA crowd?

"Panelists speaking at the National Rifle Association annual convention in Reno, Nevada, this week opened in grand style by branding openly gay anti-gun crusader Rosie O'Donnell a "freak."
The comment was made during a two-hour panel discussion which attacked the "biased news media" for distorting the position of gun-rights advocates. Every speaker but one who sat on the panel made some derogatory reference to gay people."

"Such homophobia has long been an integral part of Savage's routine; when he wanted to insult the pro-gun control Million Mom March, for example, he dubbed it "the Million Dyke March" "

"Would anyone now claim that it is time to pick up guns to halt big government, the homosexuals, the feminists, the communists, etc., etc.? I doubt it. And the reason is we know in our hearts that Mr. Heston is right. We know the real reason we are losing our guns is because most Americans no longer know the God who gave us the rights we are trying to protect."

"Gun rights
Eternal vigilance is required to protect our 2nd Amendment rights granted by the U.S. Constitution. HB 489, 592, 786, 815, 821, 825, 860, 905, 906, 1020, 1021, 1035, 1165 and SB 131 all deal with the issue.
Homosexual agenda
* GOOD bills:
HB 382 would prohibit placing children in homosexual foster homes. HB 415 would disallow homosexual foster parents. HB 383 would disallow recognition of a same-sex 'marriage.' HB 464 disallows sexual abuse of a child. HB 14 would mandate a blood test before obtaining a marriage license; HB 717 would require premarital testing for HIV; HB 852 would allow HIV testing of sex offenders."

"Why some people are evil, who knows? Maybe an unidentified mental or personally flaw set off by certain external factors unique to the individual. Or perhaps there were born that way, as liberals claim that homosexuals are.
You can pass all the new laws you want and take away more of our rights as Americans. You can try to "profile" people but human nature is too complicated to identify potential aggressors, the innocent will suffer the sigma of being "identified" and an evil person can slip through the cracks and have their day in the sun. All we can do is be prepared to defend ourselves against them by legally carrying concealed firearms and demand that the authorities have well practiced operational plans to swiftly take the aggressors out.
