When I say no individual rights I mean no rights unless you are part of a special interest group.

"TYPICAL LIBERAL"...?

No offense was intended. I have a friend who identifies himself as a liberal and a Democrat. However, he is pro 2nd amendment and also for conservative fiscal policies. He is not a "typical liberal" in that regard and he is starting to realize that himself - it's a strange situation but it's because he was raised in a pro UAW, Democrat home. Most of the other liberals I know support confiscating guns and big government intervention into all facets of our lives. I consider myself to be a conservative, leaning towards libertarian; therefore, I would not get offended if I was classified as a "typical conservative." Hell, you can call me a "gun nut" and I wouldn't care.

There are specific values that groups of people hold. It is completely fair to make SOME general statements about those groups. The liberal politicians are generally for gun control verging on all out confiscation. The conservative politicians are generally for allowing law-abiding citizens to posses guns.

Who is proposing all of this legislation? Generally speaking, it is liberal, progressive, Democrat politicians who are pushing for the gun control laws that the original poster is referring to.

Has anyone considered the possibility that the NRA and other gun orgs and big gun companies are purposely whipping you guys up into a frenzy so you donate lots of money and buy lots of guns??
Are you serious, it is the NRA? Have you been in the dark. Have you not read anything Feinstein and the rest are proposing, I guess The NRA paid them to push the anti gun, gut the 2nd amendment issue. All the police departments and states joining together to fight this have been dupped by the NRA.......ROTFLMBO

There has been some evolution of the N.R.A.but basic tenets remain the same. Support of the gun industry in regards to laws regarding them a given.
As with civilian marksmanship program(note tie to government) the foundation rests on the use of arms by civilians. Created in large part by veterans for seeing a need for experience. The defence of the second amendment a necessary response to preserve civilian ownership. The weapons highlighted recently are used by vets (and others) due in part to familiarity. Durability a plus as semi-autos of poor quality in harsh conditions easily become non functional.
Today the group has expanded into safety and training programs for a greater audience,a watch dog for laws affecting guns and a nonprofit lobby for gun owners. Were all gun owners involved it would become a more effective lobby but people are people and till it directly affects them(to late) its not a concern.

I see both sides taking advantage of this situation to push their own agendas and fill their own pockets. Let not forget that the NRA is probably one of the largest lobbying / special interest groups out there. Is not like gun owners are David vs Goliath here. Though I know everyone wants to be the oppressed little guy. If you don't think the NRA is salivating thinking of all the new members and contributions they will be getting you are kidding yourselves. I'm not saying they are creating the situation but they are sure as hell taking full selfish advantage of it.

Selfish as in promoting their interests of course.. there is the gun control crowd just as rabid. Lets consider our youth and their ability to handle arms effectively also. Despite t.v. shows practice and technique are crucial ,not inherent but learned marksmanship. Experience a plus despite training provided in military.
While i have a great dislike seeing them in combat prior experience in shooting makes a great difference. That is a large part of original intent of previously mentioned activities. Not saying its the only reason but why else would the government support learning to shoot among youth?

The proposed legislation of this thread includes weapons of the type one of which was found in trunk,(not used in crime) and now being demonized instead of those who would misuse it due to potential. Where does that train of thought end?
What long term study of statistics show a greater use of same type, or average number of shots fired?
If potential for harm an acceptable measure to ban anything lets start with statistics and not emotion.
What causes top greatest harms to humans and why are they not banned if a greater cause?

The NRA is doing exactly what its members expect it to do, it is doing exactly what we pay dues for and why some donate more money. It is defending our rights under the Bill of Rights, our right to "keep and bear arms". If it was doing anything less than it was doing i would be screaming at them. True they are a special interest group, a special interest group fighting for the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms which is in our Constitution, they are not fighting for a drug company, oil company, green energy, they are FIGHTING FOR AMERICANS!

Yes the NRA is a strong lobby, but what are they a lobby for, OUR RIGHTS. I hope the NRA gets stronger, this has certainly drawn new members into the NRA and I'm glad, the more members the more power they have to fight for and defend our rights, so more power to them.

The NRA didn't start this, they are only responding to what Obama, Feinstein and the other liberals in power are trying to do, to disarm Americans by using the tragic deaths of the kids in Sandy Hook as an excuse to disarm America. They drew the line in the sand, not the NRA........I personally hope the NRA is salivating over the new members and contributions flowing in, it translate into more power for lobbying for our rights guaranteed to us under the Constitution's Bill of Rights.

Treasure Hunter, please explain to me and the rest on here,,,,What you just said is 110% correct...He is against everything that this Country was founded on, and yet re=elected??? Please tell me how this happened...I know certain votes were not "allowed" to be counted...Not sure how many polling places were protected by armed Black Panthers? but still HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?? has Americans really got their heads stuck that deep in the sand??
Armed black panthers ? Really ? I disagree. He is not against everything this nation was founded on. How ? I find statements like yours are unfounded. I've heard it a few times. But, when you ask for specifics... you get the deer in headlights look. Or a bunch furor,ranting and anger. What you think this nation stands for may not be what others believe, as well goes the same for me.
The McCain/Palin ticket.... Talk about heads being buried in the sand ! Second. I remember GW Bush getting a gimme election. Chads ? A lot of this is sour grapes from an ever self imploding GOP and they're using this issue to fuel a mass paranoia.. There's more interest into who's going to be president of this nation than that of the average citizen sad to say.President LBJ was one of the results of that. My previous question (s). Why isn't the right to bear automatics,ect being fought for ? Just the rights to retain what we have now are good enough ? Or were they taken away at a time that there wasn't such a hatred of government ? Or, there is a sense of common sense about what should be owned under our rights? Do I believe the democratic party is using this issue as a tool too ? Most definitely.

Ibjeepn, do I understand you correctly? You don't think the black panthers played a role in this past election, not to mention the first?

Wow another one in a world with fake facts......

A member of the New Black Panther Party who was charged with voter intimidation in the 2008 election for standing outside a Philadelphia polling site was back Tuesday morning – in an official capacity.
Jerry Jackson, who was charged in the 2008 case along with Minister King Samir Shabazz, but later saw charges dropped by the Department of Justice, was seen early Tuesday outside a North Philadelphia voting site wearing the group’s trademark black beret, combat-style uniform and heavy boots. Fox News confirmed he is a designated poll watcher.
“No comment,” Jackson said when approached by a reporter at 1221 Fairmount Ave., in the city’s 14th Ward, where he lurked on Election Day in 2008.
Follow the 2012 Pennsylvania state race on FoxNews.com
One voter who didn't mind Jackson's presence was Robin Spriggs, 50.
"We need it," she said. "It doesn't matter the color, the creed or anything like that. They protect everyone."
There were also reports of New Black Panther Party members at polling sites in Cleveland, Ohio, where they have also maintained a presence at early voting sites. Critics complain that they are an intimidating presence and could discourage white voters, who may be more likely to vote Republican, from entering polling sites.
Unlike in the 2008 election, members of the organization labeled as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center were not wielding billy clubs or forming clusters. In 2008, members of the New Black Panthers wore black paramilitary garb and stood in front of the doors leading to a polling place in Philadelphia. In that case, the Department of Justice later narrowed the charges against Minister King Shabazz and dismissed the charges against the party and Jackson.
Take your best shot at predicting the final electoral map for the 2012 Presidential Election
Dismissal of the charges prompted critics to complain that Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration showed racial bias. Christian Adams resigned from the department in 2010 in protest of the administration's handling of the case.
Holder has rejected claims that his department considered the race of white alleged victims of voter intimidation in dropping the charges. The case and its handling by the Department of Justice is currently being investigated by the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
Shabazz said in September that the New Black Panthers, who have called for the killing of whites and Jews, might monitor polling places again in 2012. But he said they would not carry night sticks or billy clubs.

“But whatever we will do, it will be legal and lawful under the Constitution of the United States," Shabazz told “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio.”
A group of retired Navy SEALs and other former special ops service members vowed to counter any attempt to intimidate voters by sending teams to sites in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Miami and Las Vegas. Former Navy Capt. Benjamin Brink told Philadelphia radio station IQ 106.9 FM more than a hundred former SEALs, Army Rangers, Delta Force operatives and Green Berets volunteered for the job. But he said his men will not provoke confrontation, but rather "watch for intimidation, videotape it, if possible, and report it to the proper authorities.”
Watch the results pour in like a pro with FoxNews.com's Election Command Center
Zack Stalberg, president and CEO of the Committee of Seventy, a Philadelphia government watchdog group, said his group had received no complaints as of midday Tuesday regarding the presence of New Black Panther Party officials at polling stations.
"We haven't received any complaints at all," Stalberg said.
FoxNews.com's Joshua Rhett Miller contributed to this report.

Jeep, it has absolutely nothing to do with race, nothing at all!!!! I could care less if the man was purple. I would have voted for Herman Cain in a heart beat and he is full black, obama is half white. Obama is a socialist, he is out to turn american in to a socialst country. This country was founded on democracy and captialism, it was not founded on socialism....

You want specifics.........

What has he done for this country, nothing, has our economy improved, NO. He vowed to cut our debt in half when he first ran, instead he has added 6+ trillon more to it, added 15+ million people more on food stamps, welfare is up 32% under his adminstration..... When Obama first took office in January 2009, the unemployment rate was 7.8 percent. Today the unemployment rate is once again at 7.8 percent, he has done nothing about unemployment.............

He violated constitutional law by refusing to deport aliens in 2009 bypassing existing imigration law.

His whole adminstration swore the attacks in Libya were in protest to a video which were pure lies.... Now he is furnishing Jets to the Egyptian Brotherhood, a sworn enemy of America and who are infact killing their own countrymen. It is okay to provide jets to sworn enemies of this country because they are muslim, but law abiding citizens can't have semi-auto rifles......................

Now he is attacking our rights guaranteed under our Constitution's Bill of Rights. In his oath of office he swears to protect and defend the Constitution.

This is why we are against him and it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOR AT ALL!!! People who say it is about color are the ones who are racist. People who continue to support him and his failed policies strictly because he is black are racists....

We will not surrender our rights under the Bill of Rights to anyone!

Guys, no offense but this election was a blowout - no fraud needed. The GOP would have launched a million lawsuits if they thought there was fraud. Every single poll had Obama winning. Romney threw the towel in early on in the counting. It's over. I'm a conservative (more libertarian but usually a voting republican) but today's Republican Party really doesn't stand for anything anymore and just keeps focussing on what I consider to be fringe social / religious issues. They will continue to lose until they can get back to fiscal conservatism ( instead if spending like stricken sailors and creating big gov like gwb did) and stop wasting time on dumb social issues that most modern american don't really find the governments business. When I hear some republicans speak - like the :censored: s that said woman who get preg from rape wanted to be raped - I get very very embarrassed to vote republican. Hopefully the party can get back to its roots before it becomes a non entity. Best.
