Newtown shootings: Obama 'backs assault weapons ban'

At least this article had the nice touch of:

I can do this all day:

Horrific photos show Chinese protester crushed by steamroller: report
The man reportedly lay on the ground in protest of the government's attempt to take over his village and turn it into a commercial space.

rjoe, the best part was clearly this:

Jammed "gun free zone" reference into article achievement: unlocked

The guy was so afraid of a confrontation in which he could be shot he, uh, ran off and shot himself... Yeah, that's the story!

meh it's essentially true

Although I probably disagree almost entirely with the point of view of the person writing the article, I do think it's possible that potential mass-murderer would be scared off by another firearm. The guy wanted to kill himself, and being shot by someone else might have led him to just be incapacitated, not killed, which would lead to incarceration and not to the immediate death he was seeking.

Odd, then, that the demographic groups that oppose gun control in America are not demographics that have historically suffered any oppression. Maybe it's just that gun owners are wise beyond their meth-addled outer appearances and are looking out for the rest of us...

OK, so here's my question:

When does America's world class stockpile of heavily armed rednecks spring into action and defend us from government tyranny?

When the government was treating blacks as second class citizens? When the government was putting Japanese people in internment camps? The red scare? The Native American genocide?

This marvelously well equipped (but not well regulated) militia... when do they start proving how necessary they are?

Maybe it got lost in the reports of the 100 or so people who have been victims of firearm-related deaths since the Newton massacre.

Dude was never closer than 15-20 yards (his words) and after seeing someone was behind him he ran off into a store. He said the guy knew he was there. So after seeing someone with a gun run off into a store this guy was still so afraid he ran down some side corridor and killed himself? I think it's much more likely he heard sirens/knew cops were close and that's what prompted his actions.

I'm pretty sure, from this thread and reading that NRA pamphlet, that the only thing that would activate the gunowners into open revolt is if they thought Obama was coming for their guns. So they need their guns to keep their guns?

Oh, so your standard of the oppressive eminent domain laws in China is exactly the same **** that happens in Soviet America? I guess if the Chinese guy who got steamrolled were in America, he could take potshots at federal officers before meeting a timely demise, That would be the difference.

Are they all driving around the hoods of Beijing doing drive by's on a daily basis?

Really, really easy to find examples of people who flipped out in public, pulled out their trusty concealed carry weapons, and proceeded to commit murders that they otherwise might not have committed had they not had a gun within reach.

If it's time to bury them, it's time to dig them up.

No. They don't have guns.

Pretty awesome post, actually.

Indeed.

lol DBJ

Just to play devil's advocate here, the rednecks probably were in favor of treating blacks as second class citizens, in favor of interring the Japanese, and in favor of the Native American Genocide. The Red scare is something they certainly didn't like, but there weren't exactly Soviets invading our shores.

I should amend my post. Real 'merica's landed Southern males have seen fit to rise, as one, in glorious armed rebellion one time that had nothing to do with guns.

It did have to do with a President from Illinois who they were afraid was trying to take their property, though.

when president blacky mc black black blacky black the radical socialist athiest muslim from kenya comes for their guns and bibles, of course.

Real shame the gun enthusiasts all seem to be banned and unable to address the question aorn.

It's interesting that you and all the other intellectuals are delegating your responsibilities to all the red necks in America. Hopefully, they'll be there for you if you need them.

Now we just need to tie in child labor some how, and we'll have the trifecta.
