Those who would sacrifice security for liberty deserve neither. B. Franklin

There are lots of intelligent points in favor of gun control, but all of them involve significant tradeoffs of liberty for (alleged) security. In a world of Boston Bombers, early release criminals, and a government intent on bringing about a police state the tradeoff isn't worth it.
You can say that about literally anything that makes us safer. That is a stupid argument.

I was just posting on northeastshooters.com regarding the Biden speech today.

I have to say, my fellow gun advocates are the reason why the gov will one day take our firearms away.

Even in the northeast, what a bunch of ignorant, tea party mother fuckers.

Embarassing.

Did he say we should go out and randomly fire off guns into the air if we hear something again?

Such an attempt would split the country and lead to American Civil War II - pretty much along the same lines as the first, but this time the South would have the manufacturing advantage. Something I really would prefer not to see in my lifetime, so I really hope Democrats don't try anything that dumb.

LOL @ civil war. It'd be the single stupidest act in the history of mankind. We have nukes, remember? If we had some open revolt from a gun group, only retards would back them. The south's increased economic control makes investors and politicians less interested in a conflict through their supply lines, not more.

That kind of sentiment is exactly the stupid that Azeth is talking about. It's like this concept that China is interested in invading us, their biggest trade partner.

When people say stupid shit like this it is just impossible to take them seriously. Yeah, sure, civil war.

The recall effort in CO for a state senator was certified today. There will be a recall election. Another one is expected to be certified next week for a state rep. All in response to the recent gun law votes in CO.

Don't mind tad, he's just an idiot. The actual quote is "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

It's widely debated what Benjamin Franklin actually meant by the quote, but it pops up in various forms all the time among gun nuts who think it means Franklin would have approved of their basement stockpile of AK-47s.

I'm for reasonable ownership for home defense, hunting, and hobbyists.

I'm against people who fetishize guns or think they need home arsenals to defend themselves against the gubmint and/or because freedom. Those people are potential dangers to everyone around them, me included.
