The enormously corpulent DUmmy nadinbrzrczhszezszki, a Polish Mexican who may or may not be in this country legally, has put up an endlessly self-indulgent screed on gun control. It is shot through with more errors, lies, and stupidity than I care to comment on. It's worth visiting the DUmp to read in its entirety, as a classic display of DUmp ignorance.

On guns and the Liberals... city vs country
Ok folks, I have been doing a lot of readying into the culture... and there are several things that began to strike me, as a pattern.
Gun control has been hijacked... no, not by the liberals, the NRA... wait for it... 99% of gun owners will agree to the kind of controls most people who are reasonable about this want (???) . Things like ... if you served time in jail, aka a felon, or you have mental issues, you don't get to own a gun. (???)
Blah, blah, blah...
There is more, the reality is that you cannot ban guns in a country where we have over 260 million guns, last time anybody tried to run a check. That is more than two guns per person in the country. (???)
Blah, blah...
SO if we are going to have a conversation about this... forget the second amendment (???)... and let's get back to basics, and see what we can all agree with. (And I expect plenty of second amendment, and rights and all that... which was NOT part of the conversation at one time (???) , it was more like... ok we can all agree that felons should not have them, that's a bad idea, or the mentally insane)
And the truth is some people should not be able to LEGALLY obtain a gun... we, at least the reasonable ones, will realize yes it is the same folks... felons, mentally sick (???) ... I also realize that those well motivated to get a gun will get a Saturday Night Special... not delusional about this.
Now I would like to see certain guns not in the hands of civilians, realize those would be long arms designed to kill people (???), but that ain't gonna happen...
Blah, blah, blah...
Now there is more... one of the great misunderstandings is as to who has guns in this country. Yep, some are country hicks, with few formal education... (???) but that is SOME... most folks who own guns are well educated (???)... and even have college degrees, and are responsible owners. Oh and them country hicks have the best gun safety training ever, and their guns in some cases go back to the Civil War and they still use them for hunting (???) ... ah to use a Martini Henry (???) ... now that would be fun.
So lets get down to basics... ok...
Oh and gun control has been part of US history... it is not new, but the term has been hijacked. It truly is about certain groups being able to buy a gun or not, and certain places we all agree you should not be able to carry a gun... like the court house. or the US House.
Oh and those thinking we will get rid of guns in our culture... no way in hell. What I'd like to get rid off is the violent culture where guns are but one of many symptoms... now that is a project I can get behind.
Oh and for you hunters, good luck, make sure you eat what you kill.
Oh and stay safe, you know the drill.

Wyatt Earp was all for gun control .. I guess he hated America too.

It was limited indeed
you could not have a gun in a town he was the sheriff off... kind of like you cannot take your gun to the Court House... or congress critters cannot take theirs to work.
And he was not against people not having guns... just not having them in a bar with alcohol.
Oh and I forgot, guns were far more expensive back then and far less common.
I was unaware that guns were rare on the frontier in the 19th century. You can learn a lot at the DUmp.
Now a true democrat checks in:

The UK, OZ and lots of other countries have banned guns. So can we. You jail anyone with a gun.

Good luck doing that in the US
Seriously. We have the largest amount of guns OUTSIDE OF CANADA in the modern world
Guns are a symptom... riddle me this. Canada has more guns per person than the US... yet they were shocked and frightened when they got a few murders in Toronto a few years back.
Well the answer to that riddle is clear, DUmmy nadinbrzczeszhczsinski: Canada is severly short on diversity.
Let us ship them a few trainloads of diversity, and then see what happens to their murder rate.

I know a lot of liberals that have guns...
so I have never understood why liberals are always the one blamed for wanting gun control.
Wasn't it the wife of that senator that got shot ...the one that pushed for the gun laws...a republican? (I think their name was Brady but I am not sure about that.)
nadinbrzezinski (1000+ posts) Wed Oct-14-09 12:42 AM
The brady laws are the somewhat most recent and your memory is correct.
Why they get blamed? The other. That is why?
It is part of the mythology.
I have no idea what she is trying to say, but thought it was interesting that the DUmp has promoted James Brady to the senate.

The problem is that most gun owners are NOT responsible.
If they were, they wouldn't have any problem with taking steps to ensure criminals did not have access to firearms. They would advocate laws for universal licensing & registration - at the very minimum.
As it is, gun owners value their unnecessary privileges over the lives of their fellow citizens. That's unacceptable in a civilized country.
The DUmp is the final authority on what constitutes a civilized country.
