Message to Righties we are coming for your guns

One day there will be a Democratic President. And, some day those 50 guns in your safe may be illegal.

If Conservatives care about the 2nd amendment, or the 4th, or any other amendment they would stand with us against the usurpation of Congressional power by the executive.

Allowing the precedent of Presidential power to spy on Americans without a court order could hurt you more then us.

for quite sometime now;

two-facedness, most obvious by his support for the 2003 Our Lady of Peace Act, which if enacted would have branded everyone with a psychiatric condition (however brief or mild) as a "mental defective" and on that basis forever denied them firearms possession.

Given that as many as half of all Americans will at sometime during their lives be afflicted with a mental disorder -- anything from grief reactions to full blown psychosis -- this was back-door disarmament at its most draconian: as in New York City today, the minute you saw a mental health professional of any kind you'd be forcibly and permanently disarmed, your guns taken without compensation. This was not only supported by Bush but by the entire Republican apparatus, demonstrating the corporate oligarchy's real intent.

New Orleans demonstrated that too: the original reports of gun confiscations there all said the orders came from the federal government, but corporate media has since conveniently flushed that story down the Orwellian commode. Likewise Attorney General Gonzales' opposition to civilian firearms ownership: reported by The Washington Post when Bush first announced the appointment but quickly thereafter swept under the rug.

Perhaps if the encroachment of poverty, wage slavery and economic collapse forces more Democrats to re-acquaint themselves with the history of the Labor and Civil Rights movements -- not to mention the Back-to-the-Land Movement of the late 1960s and the 1970s -- they will recognize the historical truth behind the slogan: "Real Leftists Own Guns."

If they won't stand up with us now to protest the illegal monitoring of American citizens, their rights to gun ownership could very well be weakened in the future. They're part and parcel of the same issue - the government's increased violations of our civil rights in the name of "safety".

I feel we need to put things in terms that even a child could understand.

Their man love for Bush clouds their thinking.

If guns are kept by the extreme Right Wing terrorist groups and White Supremacist or militia groups, or distributed in mass for profit to criminals to murder people, then gun control is obviously a good idea.

But when the federal executive declares war on dissent, the open society, freedom of information, government oversight, individual rights (of non extremist-Right Wing groups), then gun control takes a different turn.

Doesn't it?

that the Bill of Rights is our protection, not against terrorists or foreign invaders, but against our own government. The 2nd ammendment is our means of enforcing/protecting our rights.

I don't own guns. And, I am not a gun rights advocate.

But, I don't think that is relevant here. I am just as ready to stand up for your right to feel secure in your personal space as I am to stand up for my freedom of speech.

drop the stereotypes of toothless Bush-loving idiots, and head out there onto the political forums of the gun boards on the internet. You will find a level of concern at least equal to that evinced here. There are the usual Bush apologists, but they now get shouted down with "are you serious ? Baah, you're a sheeple too" most of the time that they crop up. The tides are changing, and political realignments are taking place, only this time not manufactured by Poppy's administration. Be prepared to receive our brethren in Principle with an open heart and a willingness to work for the best interest of what we all love and speak and act in concern for, this country.

Oh, and if you don't already, go shooting sometime, you'll probably have a great time. Most people who try it do.
