You are not listening either. You are saying that if we don't comply with your wishes on the matter, a minority will impose their will on the majority. It makes me very nervous that you keep repeating that statement or something like it.

Yes, we need to close loopholes on undisclosed gun purchases and background checks should be mandatory. These are my thoughts. I don't think we should ban any gun, except true assault weapons and not some trumped up version that the anti gun group wants to throw in there. That is what makes people nervous.

What happened in Conn. was a tragedy, no one would dispute that. I have lost a child at a young age, not through gun violence but, none the less, heartwrenching. I lost my exhusband through premeditated gun violence. He was using a gun to hunt with by age 8 years old but, he never carried a personal gun or raised a gun in violence against another human being. As a single parent raising three kids, I opted to not have a gun in the house while they were teenagers. Too much traffic in and out of the house, even though controlled and, sometimes too much frustrated anger and/or angst in the teen years. I now have guns in my house.

I do not believe the mother of the troubled teen ever thought this could happen. She paid for her mistake. She was/is not a monster. Many people stepped up and said she was a good and caring mother who happened to believe guns were important. Her child was not stupid, he was not insane, he was a troubled teen who needed more help than she could give. It was said that she was looking into committing him, he found the info on her computer, he killed her and took out his rage on the school children. She should have had those guns beyond his reach, in any circumstance and she will always be villified for it. Much will be attibuted to her that is untrue because we have idiots that refuse to search out the facts, can barely comprehend a written paragraph and only listen to the fearmongers on the likes of Cnn, MNBC, etc, etc. or the internet, that hung out in that town for days on end, rehashing the same sensationlist tidbits, over and over. The town had to finally ask them to "go away and leave us alone..."

There are lunatics and evil people out there from both sides of the spectrum and there is danger in every walk of life. We now have to pad playgrounds so that children do not hurt themselves if they do, by chance, get to play outside. That is the result of everybody and his uncle, suing at the slightest chance they get.

The thugs that committed the 9-11 atrocity didn't use guns, they used box cutters and planes. I agree, gun should not be allowed anywhere in an airport. If unobstrusive, armed security had been on those planes, there might have been a different outcome. Some dumb idiot with a gun in his carryon might have caused more harm, though in this case, they were going down anyway so, who knows.

It's a frightful world out there. I want to be reasonable about this thing but, I don't think you are being reasonable by your threats that if I or we, don't comply, there are ways to bend the majority to your will on gun control. You are the one stirring up ill will. I am sure you are a decent and caring person but, veiled threats is not the way to go.

My last comment on this subject, I hope, in this thread, as it seems to be a circular argument and I have had my say...<s> I think I will go over to the Alaska forum and read about people wanting to go back to Alaska.....

No, No, No, you have got me all wrong! Quit trying to put everyone in the same box. I have said nothing about specifics ( taking sides ) here. My comments have been about the Political side to the gun problem. Then along comes a poster that says there is no politics in the game at all,. The second amendment is all clear, end of story.Thats where I wind up defending myself for something I did not say.!
You are so so off stating " If we don't comply to your wishes a minatory will intervene" ? never said anything like that. I made several remarks about the difference between a Democracy and a Republic., as a response to another poster. Hell, If I had my way we would scrap our system and adopt the Parliamentary system . The way it is now , nothing gets done! It is quite clear that the majority does NOT rule in this Republic NOW. In a true Democracy they do.
I have feelings too about all the carnage and how close it comes to ones life. I was in Maine driving a vintage car on tour, my wife flew into Portland on the same plane as the Hijackers !... I had friends who lost people in the Twin Towers.I remember where I was that tenable day , in an airplane hanger outside of Camden, Me.full of vintage aircraft with a group of 200 people when they announced the news , granted, it sure put a damper on our vacation. .We both drove back to NC. in my coach, planes were not flying and no one wanted to be on them anyway , including my wife.

In all of history, do you know what always follows a fallen democracy? Totalatarianism... I for one am thankful that we are not yet a democracy and are instead a representative republic. I don't need kings, queens or dictators... I don't need socialism or marxism in my life. I don't want or need the government involved in my life.

I do not know, most likely YOU, and I hope you have a permit, but them we will never know anyway, right ?... Another thing, considering your radical posts about gun control and your statements" I will kill you"if you get in my way, sort of thing, thats scary . I thought you were for no gun restrictions and the more the better for all , right ?

LOL, Man you just let me know on the day criminals decide to abide the law......

The SOB I shot spent years for doing 6 drug related violent crime.

The day I shot him he was wanted for 6 more drug related violent crime, and I was crime 7, and when he left he went to crime 8.

Yes I only managed to wound him... And even while in the end that placed him in a wheelchair for life, where in a wheel chair form life IS in a wheel chair for life with no parole. He might be out in parole now, but he is still in a wheel chair.

You can just bank on if a bad guy in a wheel chair comes calling I will not only be Judge and Jury I will also be the executioner too.

So I am going to depend on you to let me know when criminals will obey the LAW so I won't need to worry about shooting them anymore.

At the same time i won't really take it serious unless I hear parole boards are going to take responsibility, and DO the TIME that any repeat offender gets after being paroled.

That's right.... I want every lawyer, every judge, every politician, and social worker who signs the parole board release for a violent offender to go to jail for the time the released con would serve for any and ALL future crimes. ALL of THEM.

Bad guy get 10 year and so does every other person on the parole board that let him out... Do you understand me?

The only way I can see any end to the part of the problem where x cons return to a life of crime after being paroled is to end parole.

By forcing all the people who sign off on bad guys to go to jail when their favorite pets re commits These bleedin hearts will stop putting violent cons back into society. I am being redundant so I can know you understand me.

No man I don't have the kind of money and status in life to throw 20,000 at any full auto weapons..

When was the last time anyone used a full auto weapon in a crime?

Where was it and how did the weapons come to be?

And I know where I was on 911 too...... I guess we should ban jet planes huh?

My bro in Law the one that works for DOD, the one that would have to kill you by law if he told you what he does was at the Pentagon that day.....

My mother in law the woman that gave birth my wife and her 3 other sisters was supposed to fly back to DC the day after 911. from Ossipee NH.

Now i want to know who has the full auto weapons you have in each and ever wet dream of your's?

Out with it because i intend to make a fool of you , mock you out and prove to the world you know nothing..

Lets get started I ain't got all day.

BTW do you have a maroon Bently? Do you like the Chocorua over look on Bear Notch Rd?

.................................................. .................................................. .....
I never ever said i would ill anyone who got in my way...... But i sure will stop any of your pet bad guys who come to my place in the middle of night or even at high noon who threaten my life or my wife.. and anyone else I care about...

Your evil pets don't trump my Liberty even if you think so..

More info you were not specific on before., " parole" now along with Gay marriage, equal rights for women, lets see, did i leave anything out , am sure I did. What about the bad guys that DO serve their time ( most are let out early because of over crowding ) that go right back to the same environment they had in jail, violence, around their turf, violence. Soon, they will commit another crime and then go back to where we put them, on the tax dollars we pay. How is that helping ? We have more people in jails in America than any other first world country, somethings very wrong, it needs to be fixed !

Yup those x cons should get life and stay in prison for life. Any one who signs a parole board release shall be subject to the time if the x cons they released is convicted for any crimes again. so SHALL the entire parole board go do that time too.


Weed out the violent by death....... maybe that will create space in prison.

I don't know about you, but i weed out garden varmints by killing them any chance i get.

I build self setting traps and kill garden rodents with wold abandon.....

If it were people i would do the same. Dead don't come back. I got no use for a violent offender in the first place, so if that violent offender is dead he won't bother me or anyone else.

The catch and release policy doesn't work Kill the SOB's so they can't harm the innocent again.

Women are not equal in all things.. Men are not always equal to them either. And Gays are a abomination, a type of insanity...

Me I am hard core because i don't like law based on insanity. Paroling violent offenders is quite insane.

I just won't deal in pretending things society says is sane when clearly it isn't.

Women are great pretenders... Just look at the makeup they smear all over themselves.... most of it toxic.. But hey they will do anything to promote the illusion of health.

If you still have a wife, the next time you get a flat tire in the rain at night you send her out to fix it.. You will find out how equal she is.

And Gays are guys who pretend they are female Really this isn't pretending? LOL

Currently in public school they are teaching How To be Gay anyway...... That's insanity.

You think anyone who wants a full auto weapon can get one for the asking...... That's insanity....

If you have 20,000 bucks to blow go see if you can get one yourself.... You won't be able to like you think, so you need not worry that you will have one.....

Oh yeah please stay out of upper New England we have enough crime and problems with out adding your insanity.


NH just elected several heavy spending females..... I am sick of being a walking wallet.
