Poster Comment: Some moron said this about that picture: Wei-in Low "No civilian needs such a murderous weapon." To which I replied: "It isn't your place to tell anyone, other than your children if you have any, what they "need." Just none of your business. Whether you or any of the gun grabbers in the government like it or not, it is a RIGHT. If you don't want one, don't buy one. But don't presume to tell others what they need or don't need."

Weapons are NOT murderous, people are.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
True dat. I left my 357 fully loaded and just left it to its own devices all day and at the end of the day it still hadn't jumped up and shot anyone. Reckon it's defective?
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends. Paul Craig Roberts "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." Frederic Bastiat
Too amazing. Same here... “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Governments cannot pull triggers, only people can.

Governments can make it "morally acceptable." They've done this pervasively via the militaries and in our country extensively via LE.
Same here... Yours is defective too? Who woulda thunk it? Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state.

...and right you are. Government can assert itself a la Might Makes Right and rule otherwise. We who labor here try to educate. Beverage alcohol kills far more folks than are done in by bad folks mis-using guns, but b.a. somehow gets a pass..... "The 'uniter' has brought the entire world together - to despise and deride us." Lod - Jake's best pal.
No one is going to talk much about that. The government likes all the taxes they get on alcohol.
