IF YOU DON’T VOTE LIKE A GUNOWNER, YOU SUCK

According to most estimates, there are between 75 and 80 million adult gun owners in the United States. That’s more people than voted in the last presidential election . So why is it, when there are so many gun owners, that we are not the dominant voting bloc in this country? Because most of that 75-80 million are stupid, lazy hypocritical barfbags. Well, I’d like to say sometning to that group:

Sure you drive around in a pickup truck with a gunrack and some hairy-chested bumper stickers, and you talk big at the gunshop or the Legion Hall. But will you shell out 35 bucks and join the NRA? Oh, you don’t agree with the NRA’S stance on this or that, or the NRA is too soft on something or too unyielding on something else? Or you’re a good union guy, and the union votes Democrat. Or maybe long ago the NRA didn’t send you your free cap or bullet key ring on time. Well, you know what? That’s a dumb cop-out and you’re a butthead. Whether you like it or not, the NRA is the only…I repeat ONLY, effective representation you have in the cesspool of Washington politics. Even the NRA’s worst enemies-your worst enemies if you had the capacity to think about it – agree that it’s one of the most powerful lobbying forces on Capitol Hill. That means no one else fights your battles for you better, and if you don’t understand that simple fact, you’re too flipping dumb to exist.

Okay, you don’t give a damn about the NRA but you still want to keep your guns. So why, in the name of all that is holy, do you vote for anti-gun candidates? Oh, you don’t? So who does? Maybe it’s all those other people who were voting while you were sucking a brewski and watching the game on TV. Some years ago, Mario Cuomo, a dedicated anti-gunner who happened to be governor of New Youk, described gun owners in a most uncomplimentary fashion. But the most damning thing he said about gun owners is that they don’t vote, and therfore should not be considered as a factror in any election. How about that? Mario Cuomo is a liberal Democrat and, as such, is wrong about most everything, but he’s absolutely right about you. And I can prove it. If you non-voting gun owners in New Youk State did get off your asses and vote like gun owners, obscenities like Mario Cuomo Couldn’t even be elected as dog catcher. The same goes for Charles Schumer; he wasn’t bad enough as a congressmen from Brooklyn; you dumb schmucks had to let him become a senator! What’s next….Hillary?

Then there’s my old home state of Massachusette. Over 1 million Massachusetts gun owners must be really proud to claim Teddy Kennedy as their senator. And John Kerry, the Kennedy clone, is no better. The entire Massachusetts congressional delegation, both gay and straight is anti-gun. And you Bay State gun owners are the dumbheads that put them in office! Because you sat on your fat asses, you’ve got Chapter 180 – aptly named because it turns your gun right around 180 degrees – and you’ve got an attorney general who wants to be governor and thinks every handgun is a faulty consumer product. Once again, Massachusetts gun owners, where were you on election day?

Look at every state with asinine, repressive gun laws and a preponderance of anti-gun politicians – California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland…to cite several horrible examples – and you will find enough gun owners to form an unbeatable voting block, if they would get off their butts and vote for a change. Jeez, what a concept!

We all know the excuses: I’m too busy, my vote doesn’t count, they’re all crooks and it doesn’t make any difference, I gave $5.00 to Quail Unlimited so I don’t need to vote, yadda, yadda, yadda. Well here’s the bottom line…your vote does not count if you don’t use it. If you don’t vote then effectively you are on the same side as Rosie O’Donnell, Sarah Brady, Bill and Hillary, Al Gore, Teddy Kennedy, Charles Schumer, and every other low-life bottom feeder who knows what’s good for you. If you don’t vote like a gun owner, you are a butt-boy for the anti-gunners, and you bend over forward to please them.

Think about it. 75-80 million gun owners in this country; only 3.6 million NRA members, and who knows how many active pro-gun voting gun owners. You can argue all you want about your inalienable rights. Rights are like body pats’ they only work if you exercise them. And yours are looking pretty flaccid right now. If you don’t vote in the next election, your enemies will elect a president who will be able to name three or four new Supreme Court justices. Which means that by the 2004 election, you will have no guns. And shortly after that, you will have no vote and no rights. And you know what? It’s exactly what you deserve!



GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND VOTE!!!
 
Dennis, How in the name of god do you get Bush being Anti Gun? *Bonks the Admin on the back of his head* CCW in Texas, Texas cities can not sue the gun industry.. Need I go on?

------------------
"Knowledge is a destination. Truth, the journey."
 
Not anti-gun?

If Bush gets his way, those who defend our country but are not yet 21 will not be able to own a firearm.

- They can load nuclear weapons on aircraft.
- They can drive Abrams tanks.
- They can fight for their (get this!) *freedom* and die!

But they will not be permitted to own a firearm when they come home on leave.

Bush has an entire LIST of additional "common sense" restrictions he plans to push for.

Of course, according to our Bush supporters, he's merely making noises to get elected - just like ANY "politician". Hmm. How does one spell D-I-S-H-O-N-E-S-T?

Yes, I am now permitted to carry a concealed handgun. All I had to do is pay $140 to the state (in addition to training costs, etc.) to become fingerprinted, investigated, licensed and documented as a gun owner. What part of "shall not be infringed" does he not understand?

Hit me on the back of the head? Have you ever read, really READ, the Second Amendment?

Do additional unconstitutional federal laws, directives, regulations, investigations, fingerprintings, taxes, fees and other costs fall under the Second Amendment?

Heck no. Bush is less of a threat to our freedom than Gore, and I'll forsake all my values to vote against Gore. But don't EVER say that Bush is pro-gun merely because he is not the immediate threat to our freedom that the Democrats represent.

"Bonk!" ;)

PS. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions and values of the TFL Staff.

Either you believe in the Second Amendment or you don't.
Stick it to 'em! RKBA!

In our fervor to hate Gore, let us not brainwash ourselves into believing that Bush
will be the Savior of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or even the Second
Amendment.

Bush is not pro-gun.

Bush is not for smaller government.

Bush is merely less of an American disaster than Gore.

Take a look at the words of Bush:
http://www.thefiringline.com:8080/forums/showthread.php?threadid=23829

Bush endorses “reasonable” gun control measures:

* Raising the age for gun ownership from 18 to 21
- That would not have stopped the carnage at Columbine or anywhere else the kids
steal the guns from their trusting loved ones, or from neighbors, or from strangers.
- Military personnel can die for their country in Kosovo and elsewhere but can NOT
defend themselves, their loved ones, or their property in America.

* Banning certain high-caliber ammunition clips
- Yes, “high-caliber”. What does that mean? Whatever they want it to mean:
.30-06, .223? Make your AK or AR a single shot?

* Closing the loophole allowing unlicensed dealers to sell guns at gun shows
without background checks for purchasers, provided new background checks could
be performed instantaneously. Does this mean ALL firearms transfers? He wouldn’t
answer that question!
- Prohibit the giving of a gun to a family member without a background check, fees,
taxes, fingerprinting???
- Prohibit passing my guns on to my kids when I die unless “pre-approved” by our
friends at ATF?
- Require my loved ones to take MY guns to a gun dealer, undergo the “instant”
check, pay taxes and fees, or they become felons. Bull exhaust!

* “I support them all; they all are reasonable measures,” Bush said he is still
committed to the idea “innocent people, law abiding citizens ought to be allowed to
own a gun.”

* Bush believes in “reasonable laws to keep the guns out of the hands of
people who shouldn’t have them. That’s why I support instant background checks.”
- Where is THAT in the Second Amendment?

* “When we find someone illegally selling a gun, there should be a
consequence,”
- Such as a father giving a firearm to his son under age 21?
- Such as a TFLer selling a firearm to a friend?

* Bush signed a juvenile crime bill making it a crime to allow minors access to
guns.


* Bush signed a bill making jail time mandatory for juveniles caught with
firearms.
- If you leave your 20 y/o serviceman son on the firing line while you go to
your car to get ammo - both of you go to jail?
- So if an intruder attacks my 19 or 20 year old daughter even in our own
home, she must submit to violence or we both to jail. Hello, Amerika!
------

I continue to predict that Bush, if elected, will compromise our RKBA. His fellow
elitists will “force him to compromise” and enact even more severe gun control laws
than he currently advocates.

And I stress that I dislike Bush much less than I despise Gore.

------------------
Either you believe in the Second Amendment or you don't.

Citizen,
I agree. I just don't want Bush lionized as the great Second Amendment hope.

All,

Naturally, I would prefer Bush to Gore. However, just now on CNN (2:47PM ET) an analyst said Gore has more than enough confirmed valid votes to beat Bush.

We need to quit looking through rose-colored glasses.
We must quit arguing about non-gun issues.
We must unite and attack the anti-freedom forces on many fronts - a movement requires many different voices - if we are to save our Second Amendment, the Bill of Rights, our Constitution and our Republic.

If we continue to ignore what the elitists are doing to us, they will pick us off one by one and terrorize most of the remaining gun owners - just like the IRS does.

We just gotta get our "stuff" together and take the battle to the enemy. No argument, no game, no war was ever won playing only defense.

In other words (to put it humorously), it's time for us to become offensive!

And for a change, let's quit doing it with each other and do it to those who try to reduce us from citizens to subjects.

------------------
Either you believe in the Second Amendment or you don't.
