For those who are not interested I apologize, but I couldn't sleep last night. I feel it my constitutional duty to inform every law abiding citizen of the facts! So if your for gun control, don't read this. If you hunt and own firearms and are NOT a member of the NRA, dontcha ever call my guide service for a trip, cause you'll make the list of people I have turned away that were lacking there membership. The following was taken from www.justfacts.com or type gun control in Google and review the rest yourself. Here are some in your face, dare you to argue it facts and stats.



In 1997 in the US there were 200-250 million firearms and 60-65 million owners. Assuming that the average home has 3 firearms thats 187.5 million firearms leaving approximately 32.5 million unaccounted for.

Hand guns: 75-80 million with 30-35 million owners, if the average were 2 per owner, that leaves 7 million unaccounted for.

The NRA has given 11 times more funds for research than gun control lobbyists to Washington!

Only 1 in 14 violent crimes results in a prison sentence. SO.... In 1997, 440,000 crimes were committed using firearms, which means only 31,728 convictions or better, ***408,572*** KNOWN felons walking the streets in YOUR neighborhoods!

Average prison stay for murder: 10 years

Rape: 7.6 years, Aggravated assault: 3.4 years. So is your life or your wife's or daughters only worth 7-10 years of some scumbags?

In the mid 1900's, convicted felons out on parole committed 5,000 murders, 17,000 rapes, and 200,000 aggravated assaults ANNUALLY!

Americans use firearms to protect themselves about 760,000 a year, GEE what would happen to homicide rates if those LAW ABIDING folks couldn't have firearms? WELL lets just read on, shall we!

In the 10 states that adopted Right to Carry laws in the late '80s and '90s:

For 1995: only 1 accidental death in ALL 10 states, but

316 less murders, 939 less rapes, and 14,702 less aggravated assaults from the previous year. Mmmmm?

Florida adopted right to carry in 1987, and politicians forcasted dramatic increases in violent crimes with firearms. ACTUALLY between 1987 and 1996

Homicides were DOWN 36% while nationally remained unchanged

firearm hmoicides (the biggie) DOWN 37% while up 15% nationally

handgun homicides DOWN TOO 41% while up 24% nationally.

In 1976 Washington Dc enacted a blanket handgun ban. Since 1976 homicides there rose 200% while nationally only 12%

Between 1987 and 1994 in FL, 221,443 permits to carry were issued, only 18 of those people committed crimes with their firearms or 2.5 per year!

In 1990 the ATF found that only 7% of armed carreer criminals obtained their firearm though a licensed dealer. Leaving the other 97% to get from black market or stolen.

SO.......YOU tell me.....have I missed something? WHERE? WHEN? and HOW exactly does gun control work? IN FACT it does just the opposite, the numbers don't lie! So don't believe the hype the media feeds you. For just a moment. lets have a small bit of clarity shall we, and for just that moment foster the idea of CRIMINAL control. Accountability, where if a president lies under oath, and does other dispicable things he is held accountable. Because all of the gun control laws were signed in by you guessed it BILLY himself! We live in a country where nobody is to blame for their actions, "isms" and bad childhood! Grow up AMERICA! The facts are in your face. Every point in history when a government was successful and banning guns nationwide, not long thereafter, ethnic cleansing or mass murder of some kind has taken place. Look and China, how about Hitler, gee Australia passed gun control a few years back and their crime rates are through the roof.

The REPUBLICAN from the north now yields the stand to any who dare oppose the truth! Sorry I was so brassy but it gets me fired up!
 
The REAL problem here is LAWYERS and the ACLU!!.....but i'm not even going to go there!!
 
A bunch of guys were sitting at the bar trashing lawyers when one proclaimed loudy: ALL LAWYERS ARE A**HOLES!!!



A fellow at the end said "excuse me buddy, but that really offended me"

He says "why, you a lawyer?"

The fellow says "no, I'm an A**HOLE!!!"
 
Don't even get me going on the judicial system! Then taxes and laws laws laws all the time! AHHHHHHH! Ken, we got our work cut out for us, once were in office! Gonna be some big changes see! Probably got the FBI watching me now thinking I'm a militant militia leader from Waco or something!
 
I guess what I was really trying to say was simply, if you don't like firearms, don't buy one! But DON'T tell me I can't! Don't hide under the muse of gun control. It's a thin skinned shield that won't hold up under fact! Ken, I think I will appoint myself to also be deputy chief of communications. In other words, I'll write your speaches, cause quite frankly that last poem.. well, you DO want to win right? LOL
 
My feelings are this...if you own a firearm, register it, follow the laws, and keep it out of reach of untrained individuals, i.e. children. This means just be a responsible gun owner.

 
Bingo Barb,.....you're EXACTLY right!! (Hey,..I LIKE YOU AGAIN!!!)...LOLOL...:O)

Loveya darlin'!!

Mac
 
Wow, Barb....why can't everyone follow that common sense??? You hit the nail on the head...other than registering it...not YET required by law but I'm sure a National Registration system is in the works...ugh.





Rob, you are duly appointed...we need a dandy speech ready for the Rally.
 
Thanks Mac.....don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out....
 
exactly,...the problem with the laws now, is you have to be a rocket scientist to interpret the damn things!!! Then you throw a liberal lawyer(s) into the mix,...and we end up with OJ's running free!!!!
 
Right with ya Barb! The reasons we're having school shootings is media hype and the lack of parenting! When I was a kid, if I even so much as harbored a thought like these kids have today, the teacher would have beat me silly and then my Dad when I got home for bringing shame to the family. Mind you I don't support child abuse, only stern parenting. We need to be parents first friends second to our children. See here I ago again. I really believe we are raising a nation of sissified, pansied left wing, bleeding hearts that want somebody else to blame for their mistakes. Hey I grew up a poor kid in a trailer in the middle of nowhere NY, had tourettes syndrome, was in and out of foster homes and had an abusive alcholic father. Did I use it as my excuse for being and under-achiever? NO, fuel to be an OVER-achiever. I don't have a problem with our country, I'd gladly die for her, it's big government I have a problem with. I believe George W is headed the right way by giving US our tax dollars back to spend as WE see fit. And don't start crying to me about how the breaks are only for the wealthy. They paid more in taxes so they deserve more back! And in most cases they EARNED their money. Theres a novel idea, earn it! We live in the greatest nation in the world, based on free enterprise where anyone, by simply making a decision and following it up with action can make as much as they dream! Don't condemn the other guy for being wealthy because of YOUR lack of ambition. He was willing to do what you were not, and therefor can have and do what you cannot! Never before has the ideals and priorities of the general public been so of base from what the founding fathers had originally intended for this great nation. It's time to take America BACK! So stand up look life square in the eye and say' "You ain't gonna whoop me!". 'Cause you know what lifes not fair, but it's not fair to EVERYBODY, so in that respect it IS fair!

The problem with winter is that I have too much time to think I think! LOL Good thing I don't take myself too seriously huh? Not!

Neeley for PREZ!!!
 
Man, I'm all over the place today, this election is really wearing on me. I just read my post, and I think I hit on every political debate point there is on the tabe right now, in one paragraph! Durn winter!
 
Rob . . . DAAAYYYEMMMM!



You GO boy!!!! Come on down to Missouri and I'll treat you to the joy of putting a few hundred rounds of .223 through my AR-15!





 
Rob - I really think your third line should have read:

'So if your for gun control, YOU BETTER read this.'



Otherwise how will we educate those democrats who believe that more governement, more taxes and less freedom is what our forefathers meant. Otherwise we'll turn into a socialist country (no harm meant to my Canadian freinds) where the more you earn the less you keep and we continue to be punished for trying to live the american dream.



And don't get me started on Earned Income Tax Credits for those who DON'T EARN or PAY taxes!

 
That's the spirit Rob! I learned a long time ago, ALWAYS invite people who have better toys than you do. Boats, cabins, guns, etc.
 
AMEN Trep, NOW your talking my language. These days we penalize people for working hard and smart and becoming successful and call it taxation. We reward the idle and lazy and call it wellfare! Hope they are enjoying my money! I saw a bumper sticker once that read, "work harder, millions of wellfare recipients are counting on you!" Don't anybody take that out of context either. I'll explain further later, when my fingers are rested! LOL
 
Rob...remember your ticker....easy fella.....take deep breaths...count empty corona bottles...relax a second...



Good points too...oh by the way...it's your fault the war chest is empty!! I sure as _ell ain't taking responsibility for any of it missin! LOLLOL
 
Don't worry Barb, like I said, once the Mac corona opener begins production, we will be more than adequately funded for years to come! And the corona account is still at peak capacity! All we gotta do is sit back and count the votes! Polling is in, and Neeley&Mac are way in the lead in the primarys!
 
And don't forget...for every Corona we drink, we get a dime back!!!

So drink up, my fellow bassers.
 
OK, I was just reading how Hand Gun Control Inc is trying to link the terrorist attacks to firearm possesion! HELLO!!!! Did I miss something? Didn't they use BOXCUTTERS! for cryin out loud. Now, had a few of those folks had pistols on board...well the story might have had a different ending. Gun Control lobbyists should be hanging the heads in shame because as far as I'm concerned, they are somewhat responsible for the events as well BECAUSE the RIGHT people were not armed. GOSH!!! How ignorant can people be? And not realize it? WAKE UP!!!!!!! I wish I could SCREAM at the top of lungs on line!
 
It occured to me after reading my own posts, that aside from bad grammar and mis-spellings, I was thinking faster than I can type. And I can type pretty darn fast so. Not much may have made total sense, but I know what I meant! So if anyone would like to correspond via e-mail, the invitation is open. I would never last in a publically appointed office, somebody would shoot me for sure! LOL Guess I'll stick to taking stray excaliburs for Ken!

Neeley for Prez!!!!
 
Don't worry Rob, I can polish up your speeches.

Despite how I may write on the board, I am extremely verbose and the conundrum of grammatical propensities does not escape the lattitude of my knowledge!!!
 
In layman's terms,..what Ken's really saying is:..."I'm smarter than I look!"....LOL
 
Indubitably, Mac. While appearances may give some people cause to judge genetical qualities and attributes, the majority of these dubious inferences are inherently incorrect, and while some biased opinions are formed based on these innaccuracies, the proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
 
Based on our abilities to effectively relay our thought processes to the masses, it is inevitable that our pairing will achieve success.
 
I concur with your energetic, albeit crude, assessment of our altruistic political prowess.



BTW, did we lose Rob somewhere along the way?
