Paranoia is a delusion of occurrence. It is an irrational belief of something without evidence or justification.

There are numerous examples throughout history of tyrannical governments. Our founders knew the risks of such an occurrence and designed our country around the fact that this is not only possible, but very likely with a lethargic people who allow too much power to the government.

Failing to respect this will insure eventual tyrannical rule and the eventual murder of millions of people as history has documented over and over.

[quote=SHABAZZ310;27366370]Here comes the legislation. Do you agree or disagree?


Guns do not kill people....People Kill People.

Take the Guns away and people will use another weapon to mass Kill. If the Principal had an M4, perhaps she would had an opportunity to have blown that wussies head off.

Why not introduce a bill to help mental disorders that will identify and root these nut
jobs out?

Thank you.

Between those that poo poo the idea that history could repeat itself, and those that can't fathom getting their food from anyplace other than the grocery store, and those that are profoundly ignorant abot firearms (yet have a big fat opinion,) we are looking at the perfect recipe for total disaster the minute anything significant goes wrong.

FEAR allows changes to occur when logic goes out the window.
And those changes may not be for the good and usually aren't.

Those in power are fully aware they can use FEAR to their advantage.
History is proof of that.

Sooooo, because Feinstein wants to ban assault weapons and lots of people are starting to see the light, means rabid gun lovers go off the deep edge? This proposel is NOT to ban all guns, just weapons like that bushmaster everyone was killed with Friday. What is so hard to understand about that? Like I said before, I am PRO gun but I also have common sense, assault weapons are not required by the general public. Period.

SMH.

Just like in CA the gun makers will slightly modify them to be legal. Dumb law.

Look at the list, they labeled guns that are not assault style into assault style, they twisted the wording to ban as many guns as they can. What does a bayonet lug have to do with anything? FOOLS.......

NO to Feinstein.
