User ID: 26646007  Canada07/19/2013 03:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I voted yes. I think since disarming people hasn't worked as well as they hoped, they are trying to disarm people by stealth. Raising the whole issue of the 'Stand your Ground' law, which wasn't even argued in the Zimmerman case is an indicator of this stealth disarming. First, they'll want to chip away at self defense laws or make the use of them so difficult that it won't be an option. Then, hammer away at open and concealed carry laws. Since using a gun for self defense isn't workable, then why allow a person to carry one? I don't think this will work any better for them than the overt disarming campaign, but they are relentless and will never give up.

They will bring doom upon themselves. The wolves like their sheep unarmed, uneducated, drugged-up, sexed-up, fat, lazy, and stupid. Well - guess what you stupid idiots - the wolves are winning. How's that life on the liberal plantation working out. Ha. what a bunch of fools. Negros call any black person that speaks sense a 'House Ni@@er'. Don't they realize they are nothing but low-wage, field hands for the Demo-plantation. Here ya go - a free phone, free food, free place to live - all you gotta do is vote democrap to keep the free trinkets rollin along. This is how the people in power stay in power.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 737800 "Give Up Your Home"? "Take My Daughter, Please!" "Heres My Wallet"? What would they call the proper law? I think the proper law should be "protect what is yours" including your life and your property and loved ones. "Stand your ground" is implying that public ground becomes private merely by your presence on it. This is wrong and will incite some into being territorial over public ground.

It was a self-defense case, as could happen in any state. The top law enforcement person (ugh!) in the country doesn't even know that.

User ID: 9107938 United States07/19/2013 06:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This entire Zimmerman/Martin thing isnt about black/white issues. It isnt about race wars. It is about the Stand your Ground laws. It is about gun control. When they attacked the 2nd amendment the people spoke up and said gun ownership isnt about hunting, its about defending ourselves. Zimmerman/Martin put the legalities of defending ourselves on the table. Before this is over, defending oneself will be against the law and we will no longer have legal grounds to do so. This is how they will take our guns. "You dont need a gun to defend yourself because defending yourself against an attacker is illegal". Gun control. This is how these morans think. Matter of fact from this point forward EVERYTHING these people do will be about gun control. China said it best: You can not invade America because there will be a gun behind every blade of grass. A foreign enemy has taken over the United States Government and is acting like our Government however, this is a full fledged invasion by a foreign enemy. In order to completely take over they must take our guns. This is where they are at in their "chess game". They can not make another move without disarming Americans. All other pieces are in place. And until our military, police, judges, lawyers and the people wake up, they will eventually take our guns, kill us all off and take our land. It`s OK to tell your Government No. Proud Patriot and Pro 2nd Amendment. Democrats Stole The 2020 Election. |
