‘We’re coming for your guns,’ says Tallahassee columnist

[copperkid3]

Tallahassee Democrat journalist Gerald Ensley, wrote the
following in his column: “Stop the insanity. Ban guns.”
“I'm not talking about waiting periods and background checks,” he continued.
“I’m talking about flat-out banning the possession of handguns and assault rifles
by individual citizens. I’m talking about repealing or amending the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”
“We’re coming for your guns. And someday, we’ll take them...”

The whole country has been thinking about Ferguson for three months,
and the grand jury finally made the call based on the facts.
Michael Brown was not, as originally alleged, shot in the back, with his arms raised.

Yet, in an e-mail last night over the name of Cornell William Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP,
he wrote about being “filled with frustration, disbelief, and anger…That the officer who shot and killed
an unarmed black man with his hands in the air remains free is appalling.”

What happened in Ferguson, and elsewhere that protests gave troublemakers an excuse to smash,
grab and burn, just might result in more gun sales. Over the past several weeks, gun sales in the
Ferguson and St. Louis region have skyrocketed. That can’t be comforting to Ensley or other gun prohibitionists.

While the 2nd Amendment guarantees your right to bear arms, the 1st Amendment guarantees his right to lobby for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment. You don't have to agree, but he has every right to say it.

I own a gun. In fact I own a handgun.

"discuss" on an issue. I'm not disagreeing with his right to say it, although
he will have a tough row to hoe if he thinks he'll get it accomplished in his lifetime.....if ever.
What I find amusing is that you apparently disagree with his assessment that the 2nd DOES NOT
guarantee us the right to bear arms. Or do you also secretly agree, but choose not to at this point in time?

Apparently you didn't read that portion where he believes that former chief justice Burger
in an earlier interpretation of that Amendment, made a major mistake in recognizing it as
a right for the 'common' man. As I recall, he stated that it was, and I quote: “a fraud on the American public.”
He went on by referring to gun owners as “gun freaks.” He asserted, “Every legal opinion for 200 years denied
individual gun ownership was a right — until the steady lobbying of the National Rifle Association created a climate
that allowed a conservative U.S. Supreme Court in 2008 to strike down a handgun ban in the District of Columbia,
and fuel the sense of entitlement of gun owners.”

that he likes the 2nd. You would presume too much to your sorrow.

(You also have no idea if he even knows which end the tiny little bullet comes out of.)


Picture of Nevada's handgun.



Remember that Pelosi and the rest of her like-minded ilk,
don't want the rest of us 'peons' to possess weaponry,
but have no problems being hypocritical by also carrying
or having hired 'thugs' guarding their worthless carcasses.

To be a true liberal, you must have a bit of hypocrisy or it fails.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but when over 30,000 Americans die each year from gun violence we should be looking for an answer.

***********************
the ball in having automobiles banned from the roadways then.....

The numbers are much higher than for gun accidents......

According to reports published by various sources, a low of 33,850 to
42,626 people are killed in VIOLENT and UNPREDICTABLE motor vehicle
accidents each year in the U.S. of A.

http://www.car-accidents.com/pages/stats.html

Of course to suggest such (much less act upon) would be political suicide.
Not to mention, hypocritical, in that those who would ban them for the common folk,
would still be allowed the 'right' to be chauffeured around in their armored limos.

Although, if you stop to think about it, there is NO CONSTITUTIONAL
right to own and/or operate a motor vehicle upon the public roadway....

But for any liberal legislature to suggest such a possibility would likely get him SHOT!!!

Motor vehicles do society a lot more good than guns do. Nobody is going to argue that fire, police and ambulance vehicles are a good thing. It's also a good thing to be able to use a motor vehicle to get to work, or to get to thanksgiving dinner.

I won't give him my guns, but if he want to come to take it, I'll give him my ammo - one round at a time.

I don't recall that the early Pilgrims and settlers of this nation,
driving on down to their local Piggly-Wiggly or Winn Dixie store
to buy all the 'fixins' for their first Thanksgiving dinner.....

but then, you knew that already didn't you?

I'm sure that you meant to say......our "MODERN" society....right?

You don't think modern man has just as much (if not more) need to protect themselves from *(fill in the blank yourself.)

I'm sure all the criminals will hand over their guns when someone asks, very happily.

As for our guns, there was that boating accident...........................

In 2010, the Inspector General for DHHS said that more than 180,000 people (that's 6 times as many that died from gun violence) in MEDICARE died from medical mistakes. Shall we ban medical practitioners? What is the answer for this, the ACCA?

Apologies, I didn't read a single reply but just wanted to say: Clowns like this is EXACTLY why the general populous should be armed!

The answer to curbing medical mistakes is very different from curbing gun violence. For medical mistakes, Medicare forces providers pay for care for hospital acquired conditions. In other words, instead of being paid to care for their own mistakes, it comes out of their profits. We'll see how that policy changes those statistics.
