1. Banning guns work, which is why N.Y., DC and Chicago cops need guns.
2. Washington,DC's low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control.
3. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are " Just statistics ".
4. The Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, both of which into effect in 1994 are responsible for the decrease in violent crime rates, which have been declining since 1991.

OK, I know off topic. If group says STOP, I will. But I do think its funny and after all, I only have 36 to go.

Yes, most of the bad guys have stopped killing all those childern because that flash hider might make thrir post ban a AW
I feel so much safer I am going to sell of all my stuff.   SAR/OFF
And yes you can stop now.
BM

If it wasn't for the ban of the colapsable stock there would be more gas station robberies oh wait 90% of thoughs are with pistols my mistake.......[noclue]

Yea, there are a lot of drive-by bayonet attacks too...

5. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.
6. The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.
7, An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you.
8. A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.

Vote so far: one stop, Two don't give a damn.
The don't give a damn's are leading.  

Don't you get it?

By eliminating the possibility of having a collapsible stock and a bayonet you are decreasing the firepower of those evil rifles therefore eliminating crime.  I feel so much safer now.

You know, i think this is funny and all, but i think if an anti-gun person read this, they'd take the talk about drive-by bayonets, and collapsable stocks making ARs more deadly seriously....So i'd just like you post a little disclaimer for those of you who do:
FUCK YOU, you can't think enough to vote!!!

I say keep going.  It's pretty funny, and I'd like to see what you can come up with for 40 excuses.

9. When confronted by violent criminals, you should "put up no defense - give them what they want, and/or run like hell".
10, The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advise about guns, just like Guns & Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery.
11. One should consult an automotive engineer for safer seatbelts, a civil engineer for a better bridge, a surgeon for internal medicine and Sarah Brady for firearms expertise.
12. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1791 refers to the National Guard, which was created 112 years later, in 1903.
13. The National Guard, Federally funded, with bases on federal land, using federally-owned weapons, vehicles, buildings and uniforms, punishing trespassers under Federal law, is a "state" milita.

14. Those that use weapons to defend themselves are more likely to be killed by the criminal (it's better just to lie still and be raped by the aids-ridden thug).

15. More children die every year from accidental shootings than from koala bear attacks.

16. Guns should only be in the hands of professionals, such as police officers, members of the armed forces, and bodyguards which defend the liberal anti-gun celebrities.

according to a lot of the studies on chilldren dying of gunshot wounds most were intentional inflicted by opposing gang members or suicides. both quite intentional i may add. as a further note our image of a child being killed is one of a cherubic little 3 year old, for the study purposes its anyone up to 18 years old that was killed by a gun whether by police, gangbanger, mugger, suicide,........ etc.
its kid of easy to inflate numbers that way but hey.. its statistics.

Actually, I don't think it was 18.  I'm pretty sure they included any person under 21.

14A. These phrases:"right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of the people to be secure in their homes," "enumerations herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people," and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people" all refer to individuals, but "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" refers to the state.
15A. "The Constitution is strong and will never change." But we should ban and seize all guns thereby violating the 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments to that Constitution.
16A. Rifles and handguns aren't necessary to national defense! Of course, the army has hundreds of thousands of them.
17. Private citizens shouldn't have "assault rifles" because they are military weapons, but private citizens shouldn't have handguns because they aren't military weapons.
18. In spite of wanting periods, background checks, fingerprinting, government forms, etc., guns today are to readily available, which is responsible for recent school shootings. In the 1940's, 50's and 60's, anyone could buy guns at hardware stores, army surplus stores, gas stations, variety stores, discount stores, Sears  
mail order, no waiting, no background check, no fingerprinting, no government forms and there were NO SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.

keep going

I vote you keep going.  This is getting good!

But if it can "save just one life" making us all subjects not citizens is worth it. Hell no!

keep going....

Excellent.

19. The NRA's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign about kids handling guns is propaganda, but the anti-gun lobby's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign is a responsible social activity.

20. Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy.

21. A handgun, with up to 4 controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile that only has around 15-20.

22. Women are just as intelligent and capable  as men but a woman with a gun is "an accident waiting to happen" and gun makers' advertisements aimed at women are "preying on their fears."

23. Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.

24. Guns cause violence, which is why there are so many mass killings at gun shows.

25. A majority of the population supports gun control, just like a majority of the population supported owning slaves.

26. Any self-loading small arm can legitimately be considered to be a "WMD" or an "assault weapon."

27. Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will obey because they can be trusted.

I would like to increase the 40-reasons to 100 (for now, maybe more later?)... anyone care to second my request? [:D]

I second the motion!  Actually Make it 1000! [headbang]

Keep it up...I really like #27. I think most Democrats firmly believe that one.

28.  It is too difficult for government thugs to make armed citizens line up in straight lines and file into cattle cars, and then at the end of the line, herd them into "showers" for a quick gassing.  Disarmed subjects are much easier to dispose of.  So, the citizens need to be disarmed, otherwise, it is difficult to get enough soldiers to do the job.

Well, Number Six, I’ve read this list before, so “For The Children”, keep going.

28a. The right of Internet pornographers to exist cannot be questioned because it is constitutionally protected by the Bill of Rights, but the use of handguns for self defense is not really protected by  that same Bill of Rights.

29. Free speech entitles one to own newspapers, T. V. Stations, radio stations, computers and typewriters, but self-defrnse only justifies bare hands.

30. The ACLU is good because it defends certains
parts of the Constitution and the NRA is bad because it defends other parts of the Constitution.

31. Charlton Heston, a movie actor as president of the NRA is a cheap gun lunatic who should be ignored, but Michael Douglas, a movie actor as a representative of Handgun Control, Inc. is an ambassador for peace who is entitled to an audience at the UN arms control summit.

32. Police operate with backup with groups, which is why they need larger capacity pistol magazines than do "civilians" who must face criminals alone and therefore need less ammunition.

33. We should ban " S. N. S." and other inexpensive guns because its not fair that poor people have access to guns too.

34. Police officers have some special Jedi-like mastery over handguns that private citizens can never hope to obtain.

35. Private citizens don't need a gun for self- protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for your protectiion.

36. We the people don't need to carry a gun for our own protection but police chiefs, who are desk-bound administrators who work in a building filled with cops, need a gun............

37. "Assault weapons" have no purpose other then to kill large numbers of people. The police need  "assault weapons", YOU do not.

38. When Microsoft pressures its distributors to give Microsoft preferential promtion, thats bad, but when the Federal Government pressures cities to but from S&W, thats good.

39, Trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their duty weapons.

40. Handgun Control, Inc., says they just want to keep guns out of the wrong hands. Well "guess what", you have the wrong hands.


OK< fess up time and giving credit where its due.  These are not my 40 statments. Given time I might have come up with something close. But who knows.

Look for all kind of stuff at the following web page. Type  gun control in the window.

I hope this has been fun for all, but more to get us all to act before we have to walk with our heads down while saying " GUNCONTROL IS GOOD, TAKE MY MONEY, TAKE MY WIFE, TAKE MY ETC..... I think you get my point. Do something, call someone, write someone and take a friend to the range, just don't think or say to yourself
theres nothing "I" "I" "I" can do. If YOU don't, WHO WILL.
