Gun control

[Dugout Dad]

Hannity had an informative segment on various guns: http://youtu.be/V2wBiG3LCx0

I bet no one bothers her, as it should be.
Good stuff, I forward it to my "lesser gun educated" friends.

Check out this video by MTV. They don't show it anymore but imagine, this is what cound happen to an unarmed society, the Jews were unarmed. Don't think this would ever happen in the U.S.? Ask U.S. born Japanese/Americans what happened during WWll, Executive Order 9066. But, it was ok, FDR was president.

There is no background check for private sales ... If guns were titled and registered like cars, felons couldn't purchase them and the seller would have to account for where the weapon is ... Do you know where your weapons are ? How would you feel if you sold one to some scumbag and a bad thing happened ? Also, if someone became a Felon after owning titled guns, they could more easily be taken away ( this was my point ) ... Voter fraud is not a new thing and if Republicans cling to irrational ideas like that and others they will never win back the minority vote that the Democrats are doing so good at ... JMHO ... I am well aware that criminals don't go by the rules ... Does that mean that we shouldn't put locks on the doors because the criminal is going to break the window ? Captain Doobie ( sp correct ) gets the football ... Last I checked - that would disqualify most from our generation ...

If protecting humanity was a priority...I guess except US Ambassadors etc...SEALs calling for help etc...Glad you brought up automobiles...How many folks die in car crashes, TONS now due to a beloved necessity the cell phone...IDK, My BFF Jill?...SO to save a BUNCH of lives lets govern ALL vehicles to 25 mph...I guess except the 'elite' people like politicians...Beyonce, JayZ etc...gas guzzler Suburbans btw...You don't need 300 HP

And titling vehicles isnt about tracking a damn thing, its about MONEY...Sorta like the Katrina flood cars...plenty of fake titles being made...find out your car was a submarine Aug 29 2005
As far as selling a gun...I dont sell my guns to thugs when I rarely sell one...Again...do you think criminals do anything legal that they dont wish to...govt regulations on tracking are working really well on the sale / abuse of prescription arent they?

Friend of mine did have a pistol stolen that was used in a kidnap / rape / attempted murder...he shot the girl in the back as she ran from him before he could deliver a coup de grace...slimy POS was out on bail, for stealing several guns from an FBI agents car....had a rap sheet as long as my leg...should have been in prison forever anyway
...what if she had a gun to protect herself when he carjacked her?...

And yes, self admitted drug use does disqualify many people from Security Clearances....but I guess just the honest ones....

We are on our way, the 'elite people' will be exempt of course.

we will all be driving pedal cars.

(P)MSNBC is reporting what was reported and hidden / forgotten/ covered up...The evil, mean looking Bushmaster AR-15 *insert hideous gasp* was found in trunk of the demented little pile of excrements vehicle...was not used in murder...
What if that teacher who died trying to save those kids would have had it instead...?

Actually, hybrids and electric cars. Manufacturers will be forced to push a lot of electric cars to meet 54.5 mpg overall. Do they have anything in motion to support all those electric cars - i.e. electricity generation, transmission and charging stations? You know they want to use solar and wind for that, but I haven't heard of any plans for a huge increase in production.

I had forgotten about the 2016 standard of 35.5 mpg. Most of the decreased oil consumption they tout in 2025 will be a result of that because the newest cars will only be a very small portion of the ones in use at that time.

No wonder they want to replace the gas taxes with a mileage tax.

They say the electric cars will save money, but you will make up the difference in the extra $10K-$40K premium in the purchase price of the electric car. Our electrical grid can barely handle our current power demands, imagine what will happen if you add plug in electric cars to it? Gasoline is more cost effective when comparing the "well to tank" efficiencies of gasoline vs. electricity. The Toyota Prius combines technology well, but the government funded Chevy Volt is a piece of sh*t.
