I know who is trying to take away our guns - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Heck, I think that's the best possible way to get privately owned guns. Its voluntary and folks that don't want their guns get some money. Don't want to sell? Well, then don't sell. Keep your SKS or whatever, who cares?

I fail to see a problem here. Perhaps ya'll can help me?

The problem is its NOT a republican funded program.............he's creating a inflamitory thread thats based on lies. Next thing he's going to say the NRA is actually behind it. Then space aliens are visiting him at night telling him things.

Attempting to deny American citizens their constitutional rights is the cornerstone of the Democratic party, Or more like it a good portion of them.

THe people who advocate denying anyones second amendment rights better be ready to lose their first amendment rights because that follows soon after.

So what?

If it's the Republicans, good for them. If they don't like guns in Wilkes Barre (or whatever) then the offer to buy them is a good one. Same if its Demos or Libertarians or freaking Elks Club. Its an offer, not an order.

Shoot, if somebody offers me the right price, I'd sell the ol' hogleg without looking back. $75 ain't even close (But I'd consider letter my Red Rider go for that.)

Give it a rest.

So prove its a program proposed and supported EXCLUSIVELY by republicans...........................

And is this a gun buyback targeted at the inner city crime area to get hot guns off the street?

And Just because its a republican majority use common sense, it doesn't make it a republican bill. you only need a few left leaning republicans to agree to it.

It can be an overwelming Democrat bill. You can't accuse the Republicans for running the NRA and then try to accuse them of being gun grabbers.

The recently expired (thank god) gun ban was signed buy Clinton, not Bush.

Think any gun laws will keep criminals from getting guns, think again. Cocain and Heroin get smuggled by the tons.......so could guns.

Like Botnst said, chill out, this was a post with tongue firmly in cheek. It was made to show the ridiculous silly things we americans get ourselves into. Fear and Paranoia are the main tools of the agitprop to keep the masses under control.

None of this c#ap matters in the long run. we're all dead in the long run...

So its fine to poke jabs at republicans, but not Democrats?

personally I would like the Webmaster to prohibit politically based threads altogether.....then these issues would not be issues.

I wouldn't.

IMHO I think it is very foolish that people tend to make it a black and white issue when it comes to Dems v. Reps -- We have had some terrific Dems and some terrific Reps. The way certain people (

) make it D v. R battle is simply uneducated at best. You have to look at the person and what *they* stand for. NOT the party. I had no love for most Dems. prior to Clinton, but I look at him as the person he is, NOT the party he belongs to. The same can be said about race, etc..

Bonehead, I was probably the first or second person to ask that this forum be put back up. You have no idea the help it ihas given me, but I have to be honest, I would not be happy if the lack of ability to distinquish between a person and a group causes this forum to be removed again.

Thanks for listening.

Pete

P.S. I am going to cross-post this @ my "Cold War" thread too...

Hey, I don't care who said what or why.

If they want to melt them all into a giant phallus and dance about it nekkid wearing garlands of flowers in May, that's fine with me.

If somebody thinks expunging the planet of .32 pistols is going to cure cancer and reveal the face of god, that's fine with me, too. Just don't force me to go along.

I don't understand why its so upsetting or important whether its this party or that. Its an offer, freely given. Isn't that just about as wonderful a thing as a government can do--noncoercive policy?

The issue its that its an offer, not an order.
