Again, it's an ideological war. As such, you must ultimately win with laws.
Parnelli, you are right...Hitler came into power and propagated what eventually would become World War II, as well as genocide against the Jewish people.
And, he did it right under the noses of the German people, and within the boundaries of their own laws, until it didn't matter any longer, as he could have the laws written for his particular agenda.
Frankly, I believe if we had to the chance to ask our founding fathers their feelings on the matter, they would fully support the notion that sometimes it is necessary for honorable men to shed their blood in order to oppose a tyrannical government. In fact, that was the commitment the founders gave themselves to forge this great nation.
Again, I believe that while the gun-grabbing crowd will never rest, the Second Amendment WILL prevail. But, that being said, all us us who stand vigilant and watching, so that the Second Amendment will be there for our sons and daughters, must never take anything for granted. We must never allow tyranny to stand.
Unfortunately, if there ever does come a day when the hubris of any government official, dictator, bank-puppet, or government organization/body tries to deny us our right to keep and bear arms, it will be a sad day indeed. Predictably, there will be many patriots who will die for their freedoms that day, just as our forefathers did at the birth of this nation. But, every generation will know what was fought for and WON as a result.
As I have already stated twice above, the Second Amendment makes all others possible. Don't forget that!
Also, never forget that it is up to each generation of Americans to do everything we can to pass-on the right to keep and bear arms to the generations that follow.
Vote!
And, just for comfort...buy it cheap and stack it deep!
Always remember DC vs Heller was a 5-4 decision. We were one vote away from seeing the 2nd amendment neutered in our time.
+1000! Precisely!
And, that is exactly why it is imperative the man-child be defeated in 2012.
Bottom line, it is a foregone conclusion that if Obie can stack the SCOTUS with liberal judges, he will. And, then it's "game on!"...the so-called "transformation" will have all the moving pieces in play.

I believe our 2nd amendment rights are secure for the duration of this reign of terror (klinton learned the hard way). If obamma manages to utilize his acorn/union worshipers with their illegal votes, and wins his reelection(gag), then the 2nd is the first thing he'll go after. And there will be a lot of his worshipers, a few on this board, that will gladly join in lock-step with him, even turning on their friends, family and neighbors to fulfill his grand plan of ruining this nation.
No doubt Paco we are at war with deeply entrenched Marxists! They will not rest until they have destroyed everything the Republic and her people stand for; the Constitution, our religion, our families, and our way of life. We can no longer afford to co-exist with these enemies! They must be punished with a severity that will not only drive them from our shores, but insures that they never return ans well. They have negated any rights and freedom that they were entitled to by trying to negate ours.

No country can long survive an infestation of an enemy determined to destroy it. Just look at what is happening in Great Britan with Sharia Law. (Hell Dearborn Michigan for that matter.)
No sir, we are at war, and unless we wake up to realize soon it we are toast as a Republic and as a nation.

I also believe that before they try any sort of firearms confiscation tactic they will use law against owners first. It will come to the point wherein the smallest offence will make you ineligible to own firearms. We are already half way there with misdemeanor domestic violenc (simply grabbing somene's arm in most states to keep them from walking away) is cuase enough to allow the confiscation of your firearms and make you ineligible for future purchases.
Hitler never broke the law during his reign in Gernany. He followed it explicitly, but he always had it written to meet his needs.
Wow free, you have alot of nerve to call someone insane. Why? Is it because you dont agree with his politics? Is that reason enough to hate someone free? If they dont agree with one single thing you say does that give you a reason to look down and talk down to someone? If thats the case then we're all the same and I only have one thing to say.....you have no idea how insane all your posts are, do you?
And you know what's funny about the born again moral relativism of today's nutty right wingers? Right wingers used to harp about how "words have consequences." Today, one would think one combination of words is no better or worse, no more or less true, than any other, for their penchant to endlessly spew their vile venom, such as we see so much of here.
I did not say Parnelli is insane. His words surely are. The distinction is important.
Parnelli is a particularly vile sort, claiming as he does to be a well-compensated professional, while comfortably sitting there urging any desperate nutcase on the verge to violence. No, Parnelli, revolutionary firebrand for the cause of plutocracy and their increasingly impoverished and marginalized dupes, has no intention of taking any chances, but he sure would like you to, and his heated rhetoric is intended to goad you on.
"You have no idea how insane all that is, do you. "
Now the true liberal in you comes out yet again! If the truth is insane to you and your utopic Socialism then it only goes to show how blind to it you truly are. Again I will wear your insult as yet another badge of honor. If there's someone here who's losing it it is not me Free....
OBTW... I would never ask someone to do something that I wouldn't do myself.
You notice how certain members wade into the discussion, spew their insults, in my opinion, in order to change the topic of the original post by creating a pi$$ing contest.
BTW, free, I have a thesaurus too. And, you really don't impress me with your $.50 words and your two-bit logic. And, you certainly don't send a thrill up my leg (ala Chris Matthews) with your ability to post links to liberal blogs, news rags, or propaganda-filled white papers.
You come here for one thing...and it shows...to validate your own worthless, pathetic life.
Metaphorically speaking, you're a bully on the playground who knocks the ball out of the other kids' hands. In fact, I'd bet that's the exact baggage you've got pent-up inside from your youth when you were bullied yourself.
But, now that you're older, smarter, and savvy with a keyboard and mouse, you attempt to mask your inequities by putting others down. It's a sickness for you, isn't it? You spend many hours each day contemplating your next post, and how to win the upper hand.
I've seen many guys like you. They're the smartest man they know.
Just remember one thing, smart guy...there's a HUGE difference between intelligence and wisdom. And, I don't see much of the latter from you.
Despite disagreeing with Parnelli's comments, it is his right to voice his opinion here. You may not like that, but last time I checked you are not the hall monitor around here.
As far as I'm concerned, it's pathetic that someone who has over 8K posts on a firearms message board would be anything but supportive of a discussion about the tyranny the Second Amendment currently faces by this out-of-control government corruption.
Hey Paco, before you go off on post numbers again, you might do the math on posts per month, mine vs Parnelli's, for instance.
When someone comes along and posts the kind of garbage Parnelli did in this thread, I have every bit as much right to criticize it - calling it what it is - as he did to post that garbage in the first place.
Your playground analogy is hilarious though, considering you are part of the mob attempting to force conformity on everyone here.

You probably have done the math on posts per month, truely pathetic.
Indeed I have, because basic multiplication and division that takes no more than a minute to do just isn't a problem.
Since this seems such a daunting prospect to you, qwman68, here's how it's done:
Multiply the number of years membership by 12. Add additional months. That's total number months membership.
Divide number of posts by that number. Done.
Easy and can be done in less than a minute.
Though I'd never have thought about it were it not for the demonstrated innumeracy of some of our new arrivals. For your and Paco's information, Parnelli first posted on July 1, racking up over 200 posts in one month. There's not a thing wrong with that, but Paco, like the rest of the right wing mob here, and you too qwman68, holds a double standard on just about everything, including something as trivial as post counts. And you've been around long enough to know this came up before, with Dirty Harry, another who really cranks them out.
Changed the topic again I see..... Feeling a little hateful today free?
First off, Dirty Harry, look in the mirror to see hateful.
And for you, of all people, to talk about changing the topic, when nearly all your posts are the same nasty toilet stoppers they've always been, is absurd. But then you never did make sense.

So what? Judging by your posts, your whole life is off-topic, if humanity is at all relevant.
I was one of the first to start a thread on the "fast and furious" topic months ago, when it was news. There is no further information about it available now. Bashing Obama is not "on-topic." Fabricating lies and spreading hate is not "on-topic." But that's all you know so that's all you do here.

You derailed this thread with your post #9. Although this time Parnelli beat you to it.
This thread was full of hyperbolic and ridiculous conspiracy theories from the beginning. That's why I pointed out in post #8 that there are proven examples of that sort of thing that right wingers ignore to this day.
Freesw, you're looking more and more like ol' TAP, who enlightened us with his presence for only a couple of weeks back in May, and who entertained us with his "erudite" firearms lore. Why you could be the TAP of the "News and Political Forum."
Is that your goal? 'Cause it certainly is lookin' like it is.

His goal, one of them anyway is to strip the wealth from those who have worked their asses off to earn it and give it to the freeloaders of this nation. Right free? Another goal is to protect his idiot president from all the truth out there that he doesnt want to hear much less believe. Kinda like when the dumb bastard said 80% of Americans were behind him on his latest attempt to redistribute wealth. That was a big ole lie from hell.
