The Gun Thread

[AussieRod]

The great men who established our country understood this and I think this quote efficiently sums it up:


"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself.
They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone
under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie
wagon and citizens firearms are indelibly related."

- George Washington

Its too bad the current crop of corrupt "politicians" continue to ignore the statutes written by the founding fathers. They will continue to trade away the Constitution to gain power or recognition.

Got my deposit down on a couple AR lowers....

Gun owners really need to band together on this or we're going to take it in the.... I heard Walmart is going to continue to sell firearms in their stores. I'm going to send a letter to HQ commending them for this. I'll also send one to Dick's telling them they lost a customer over their decision to stop selling. I have a feeling Cheaper Than Dirt dug their grave with their fiasco. They've gotten plenty of feedback, I'll leave that one alone. I'm going to send Feinstein a letter, too. Even though I know she doesn't give a crap about what I think. I implore you guys to do the same. We really, REALLY need to be diligent about contacting anyone and everyone we can to let them know how we feel and we need to do it ASAP.

If we stand by and do nothing, this will quickly be the beginning of the end, gentlemen.

I sent letters today to the president, my senators, and her. Since my address is AZ her office doesn't even read it.

I wish politicians lived in the same reality we do.

[SteveG]

II wish politicians lived in the same reality we do.

Completely different planets!


Also, man are 10/22's expensive. I thought they were supposed to a be a good, cheap rifle?

[AussieRod]

Those of you who havent, join the NRA, and the California Gun Association(?). Their legal team can help anyone who suffers under oppressive LEO invasion and firearms issues. Donate all you can to the cause, if you dont act now, it will be too late. Write to the NRA too, make sure they are defending the 2nd Amendment and YOUR rights.

[AussieRod]

Watch this and act NOW!

Just saw this and wanted to share it.........

" This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"

-Adolf Hitler,1935

Wow and the rest is history

Unfortunately:
This quotation, often seen without any date or citation at all, suffers from several credibility problems, the most significant of which is that the date given (*in alternate versions, the words "This year..." are replaced by "1935..." has no correlation with any legislative effort by the Nazis for gun registration, nor would there have been a need for the Nazis to pass such a law, since gun registration laws passed by the Weimar government were already in effect. The Nazi Weapons Law (or Waffengesetz) which further restricted the possession of militarily useful weapons and forbade trade in weapons without a government-issued license was passed on March 18, 1938.

The citation usually given for this quote is a jumbled mess, and has only three major clues from which to work. The first is the date, which does not correspond (even approximately) to a date on which Hitler made a public speech, and a check of the texts of Hitler's speeches does not reveal a quotation resembling this (which is easily understandable when you realize that "Hitler" is commenting on a non-existent law). The second clue is the newspaper reference, which if translated into German resembles the title of a newspaper called Berliner Tageblatt, and a check of the issue for that date reveals that the page and column references given are to the arts and culture page! No Hitler speech appears in the pages of Berliner Tageblatt on that date, or dates close to it, because there was no such speech to report.

Finally, the citation includes a proper name "Eberhard Beckmann," which is sometimes cited as "by Einleitung Von Eberhard Beckmann," which is an important clue itself, because it reveals that the citation was fabricated by someone who had so little knowledge of the German language that they were unaware that "Einleitung" isn't the fellow's first name! The only "Eberhard Beckmann" which has been uncovered thus far did indeed write introductions, but he was a journalist for a German broadcasting company after WWII, and he wrote several introductions to photography books, one of which was photos of the German state of Hesse (or Hessia), which may be the source of the curious phrase "Abschied vom Hessenland!" which appears in the citation. This quotation, however effective it may be as propaganda, is a fraud.

Moar!!!

[SteveG]

Nice, Philo. What's the bottom one?


My letters went out today... Feinstein, Boxer and McCarthy. I'll send one to the pres. and to local-level representatives tomorrow.

[philofab]

The bottom is a 1942 Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30. You can still get them for $100-$200. Cheap to shoot and good for 300-400 yards in the regular variety.

The top is a 1953 Remington 11-48 12 ga shotgun. One of the first semi autos.

Aweome Letter from a Marine to Diane Feinstein
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/marines ... 1481237582

"Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joshua Boston
Cpl,
United States Marine Corps
2004-2012"
