Weblogs are a waste of time and do nothing but ignore the facts and spread BS.

Admittedly, I occasionally read some of the right wing conspiracy sites to see if I can find a nugget after the fact. I learned a few years ago to not post their links unless they've been compared to left wing sources as well. Once that happens, then it's Game On.

There's a difference between reality of the whole picture and fantazy based on just a few words from a piece of paper. The thread you referenced in the above quote is a perfect example. There will be no blue hats marching in US streets, grabbing your guns, no matter what kind they are, providing they fall within the realm of the law. If you read the entire published information on that story, you'll see that it involves RPGs, nuclear, weaponized chemical, and other similar weapons...basically what is illegal to own. It doesn't point to legal full autos, semi auto rifles and pistols, revolvers or shotguns...someone on that thread said that there's not enough blue hat wearing people to handle the amount of weapons in this country. Hell...our own government can't control it, what makes anyone think that the UN can?

Like I said...people shouldn't be posting BS from weblogs unless they understand that what is being said is generally not true, and twisted from just a few uttered words.
Moral indignation from the right.....that's a surprise! (never mind name calling).
