Hickenlooper to Gunowners: "I will take your guns"

[Moviestar]

@funkfool Comprehension is seeing both sides of the story, and taking it all into account. All the links you posted were from the NRA-ILA. Thats not both sides, thats a 1 sided argument aka a logical fallacy which makes it invalid as well as unsound.

@sniper7 My constitutional rights were stepped on when the patriot act was signed in to power. that was a direct violation of them, this isn't, you will still be able to own guns.

@SAnd of all those acts you posted the only one specifically designed to "take away guns" was the AWB and even that didn't take away guns. The rest of them just set up guidelines on who can own a pistol and various firearms, as well as the requirements to owning a pistol. Would you want someone who has been to jail for violent crimes owning a pistol? That is the whole purpose of background checks, and criteria for owning. IT WASN'T AT ALL DESIGNED TO STEAL YOUR GUNS. Need I remind you it is still legal to own a fully automatic weapon, so long as you can afford the tax stamp and other fees? How can you say they took your guns away if you can still own full autos?


I seriously can't believe all of you think this means our guns are going to be taken away. It's seriously disturbing how uneducated you sound. You are all aboard the bandwagon that everyone wants to steal your guns. Look at the history of gun rights. When has anyone, ever, tried to steal all of your guns? Never.

Would you want someone who has been to jail for violent crimes owning a pistol?

Yes. If you are no longer in jail, then you should have full rights. If you can't be trusted to live in society with full rights, then you can't be trusted to live in society at all and should either be locked up for life or killed.

When has anyone, ever, tried to steal all of your guns? Never.

Katrina ring a bell?

maybe you should become more educated before you stick your foot in your mouth. read up on hurricane katrina and how the residents of mew orleans had their guns stolen by police...entire collections that were taken from law abiding citizens when they were keeping their property and families safe from looters. thousand of guns were never found/returned and a lot that were returned looked as if they had been thrown down a driveway. you better start listening before i think you are a troll liberal. you can apologize now and admit you are wrong.

Have we been trolled?

[sniper7]

Have we been trolled?

i am starting to think so...that or we have a college kid who thinks he knows everything and needs to learn a lesson, admit he doesnt and apologize for it. when you have 2 grand master know it all members posting info, it should be listened to.

[Mtn.man]

Zactly Master, the grasshopper is to young to appreciate the wisdom.

I'm sorry Moviestar, but what part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" do you not understand?! I did a search, and anytime someone says we should stand up to someone/something that could take away any of our gun rights, you have posted that we should all take off our tin foil hats, etc. I'm here to tell you that I would much rather be in the overly cautious, tin foil hat wearing, crazies that are worried about losing any part of our rights than an Obama arm band wearing, Hickenlooper pom-pom carrying, closet liberal that is stuck in the "middle ground" and willing to give up some of our rights, which in turn jeopardizes all of our rights over time!

[TFOGGER]

The problem with "meeting in the middle" is that the next time, the other side will expect you to meet "halfway" again....halfway between the middle and their side. Do this a few times, and you end up a whoooooole lot closer to their position, than ours.

RMGO/GOA/NAGR has the right idea: No Compromise when it comes to our rights.

What would the liberals have to say if someone expected them to compromise their freedom of speech, religion, freedom from self incrimination?

[Eow]

Moviestar, why don't you enlighten us with an explanation of what the purpose of Mayors Against Illegal Guns is, given that illegal guns are already, well...illegal.

[alan0269]

There are a few mayoral groups that Hickenlooper can join in lieu of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. They are:

Mayors Against
- Illegal Drunk Driving
- Illegal Murder
- Illegal Felonies (I hear this group will have a "Crime of the Month")
- Illegal Illegalities (parent group of "Illegal Felonies", but covers misdemeanors, etc also)

Moviestar, I as well applaud you for taking the time to read through the entire PDF in order to keep yourself informed. I would encourage you to read it again, taking the time to read between the lines (sometimes this is more important than what is in the black and white print).
