Topic: The Line in the Sand

Well, at least the state of washington is adamant about their right to be stoners, even if it means turning their heads against the US Constitution in the bargain.

Breitbart:

[Schmuck] Mark E. Kelly , gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an “assault weapon,” he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws.

He passed a background check and legally bought a weapon and by that he intends to illustrate the need for it to be made more difficult to do so for .... people like him?  WTF, over.

So...did he turn the gun in?

Breitbart

   

The latter source was present when the photograph was taken, and said that Giffords had requested it for campaign purposes during October 2010.
...
The source, who is a member of the law enforcement community, told Breitbart News:

"We were told she wanted to toughen her image. She asked to come out and she wanted to shoot a rifle. She had one of our guys out there to show her how to shoot an AR-15."

Not an unexpected development, but one which should cause people to sit up and take notice that these statist pricks will coerce compliance to the all-powerful federal directorate or face punitive action.  Assholes like this who try to pervert the constitution into making others violate it is so sick and twisted I can scarcely keep my calm!!!

I had to go look.  She's a nothing.  She has a one liner in wiki, most of the links with her name link to chat rooms, it appears she has written no legislation.  She is in one of those redistricted, special interest, seat for life (as is Shelia Jackson Lee) districts. To the world's luck, unlike with Shelia, she's local.

True, but they all think this way.

Put an amendment on her bill that would make them removable for failing to enforce immigration laws too.

Preezy Skeezy's favorite 'poet', Maya Angelou, GUN OWNER.  One more piece of the gun control 'debate' that will be ignored.

Maya Angelou Admits To Using Guns For Protection

The pro gun side sure has strange bedfellows, like the ACLU and the NRA working together against Universal Background Checks (cats and dogs ganging up on humans can't be far behind; cats'll claw us to death while dogs'll bury the bodies).

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/04/ACLU-Opposes-Universal-Background-Checks-Warns-They-Could-Lead-To-Registration

As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) works with other Senate Democrats to find a way to push their gun control package through, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is warning that universal background checks pose a threat to individual privacy and could lead to firearm registration.
 
According to the ACLU's Chris Calabrese, "The current proposal for universal background checks raises...significant concerns." One of which is the fact that the current legislative proposal for universal background checks does not guarantee that information gleaned from the checks will be destroyed within 24 hours. The NICS background check system, which is currently in place, requires personal information to be destroyed within 24 hours.
 
Because of this, Calabrese said the ACLU is concerned that the form universal background checks being promoted by Democrats could lead to "the creation of government databases and collections of personal information." And since the legislation being pushed by Reid stipulates that "a record has to be kept of a private transfer," it's hard to see how a database that lists every gun and every gun owner won't be among those created if universal background checks are passed.
 
The NRA has been sounding this alarm from the moment Democrats began pushing for universal background checks in the wake of the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary. In this rare moment we see two civil liberties advocates--the ACLU and the NRA--fighting the same fight.

[Libertas]

The ACLU always has ulterior motivations...perhaps they should be pressed on the matter of Obamacare, Electronic Medical Records and the IRS!

   ACLU pussies!  More than a day late and a dollar short!

And does anyone seriously believe the personal information used in a NICS check is actually destroyed within 24 hours? If so PM me, I have an offer you can't refuse for a well known bridge that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Now Beretta is threatening to leave Maryland over proposed anti-gun laws there. They don't get much bigger than Beretta, and they're a major supplier to the US military too.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/24/berettas-dont-bluff-major-gun-company-threatens-to-leave-maryland-over-new-gun-control-proposals/

But according to the Washington Post, the company’s Italian “patriarch” Ugo Gussalli Beretta expressed a lack of confidence in the state.

“All I can tell you is, there always seems to be a problem with Maryland,” he reportedly said.

In Glock32's imagined version, Signor Beretta then threw in a 

Aaaaand Beretta has made good on it. They're leaving Maryland.

I'm glad to see firearm industry companies willing to stand by principle (and look out for their own self-interest) by leaving hostile states and taking their jobs with them.

But I can't help but feel that for the committed Leftists, these exoduses are a victory. They've chased the evil gun peddlers out of their state, achieving a victory that I don't even think will cause them a moment's consternation over the loss of jobs and tax revenue.

It's just the cost of Leftist purity, gladly paid.

[charlesoakwood]

May they enjoy their Pyrrhic victory.  It will be a happy
coincidence to have major manufacturing on the right side.

Oh I'm sure of that. But it's still a good thing, because it's just one more aspect of the polarization. As the ideological divide in this country takes on an increasingly geographic quality, I think that only makes the showdown that much more inevitable. Any way you look at it, sides are being chosen and lines are being drawn. It's evident in every facet of society. We are truly a country approaching civil war.

One of the comments suggests the cops who answered "wrong" were the ones in nice cushy offices who never walk a beat.

That is really every liberals problem with you. As long as you have freedom you aren't their slave, living according to their values, and serving their agenda
