Definition of anarchist. 1 : a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power.

I think "Anarchism" is not inherently violent, same way that "Voodoo" is portrayed in the media as colorful ritual etc. May or may not be true.

We are the masters of our own destiny.. I, also, sit back at some of the decisions made by people (yes, this includes the ones that are supposed to have "power" over me) and I think to myself.. "Heh, yeah, I'm just gonna do me."

It's the sheep that like to be ruled.
you see people get a kick out of having power over others. people on my town facebook page are always making these suggestions for what rules they want for other people or how they want other people's money to be spent on their personal preferences.

one of the things i find the funniest is people getting personal satisfaction over the size of the country. they oppose the secession of some state because somehow the magic of national greatness would be reduced if a state left. they even have some kind of feeling of ownership over federal land. so they dont want states or god forbid individuals to take ownership of federal land. its some insane feeling of ownership that they have over land that isnt theirs and they get no benefit from.

statism is a form of psychosis. its a religion.

When she came home with the kid the other day, he was drunk and combative, with loaded weapons on the floor. I guess she called the cops because she was scared.

Cops took him away when he tried to step on the guns trying to hide them, then proceeded to call the cops expletives. This is just a bad situation waiting to get much worst.

I posted this to see if the apartment complex was responsible in any way and if there was anything they could do to remove this guy. Seems like a huge liability for them.
They are illegal, in New Jersey, any weapon capable of holding more than 10 round of amo is baned. That gun is probably a AR15 copy which does not hold lot of bullets, no power (compared to the AR15), they are basically a handgun with an AR15 body.


The assault weapon ban (and strict gun law) in New Jersey is a good thing, there is a reason why New Jersy has seen only 1 mass shooting in its history (and it was the first mass shooting in USA) in 1949

Any gun law not only is infringement but does nothing as to presently owned weapons as well as people using the legal ones.

The guy in Trenton either had an illegal weapon, or just smacked in another magazine. I read another article which stated that 20 were wounded.

That's what jayo mentioned. It wasn't a mass shooting, but mass murder. He didn't kill many from his apartment window. He entered a neighbor's apartment to kill the couple and the guy's mom. He walked into the barber shop and shot a little boy who was getting his hair cut. He also killed the barber, but left mom to live with it.

that "every gun law is infringement" is either something you have seen me say or you are reading it somewhere. where else do you go online for your liberty education? i hope you have added "libery memes" if you have facebook.

its impressive how much time gets spent try to prevent what represents about 1% of the murders. of course, that is if you dont include murders by government; which adds up to much more than murders between citizens. only with those you call it "foreign policy" and actually celebrate the people doing it.

Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. The OP should just wait until this becomes a real tragedy so enough evidence is gained that this gun nut is a threat. Then the OP will get to play hero by shooting people too, instead of working to avoid the entire situation.

The OP should take a trip to the police station and have a meeting with the chief of police about this asking what can be done and they are living in fear.
