   (...) for (...) people (...) carried (...) Preach on, Brother Larry! While I don't think that we need to be packing around assault rifles, I agree with everything else you say. They say guns kill people? Please. I've never seen a gun, even a loaded (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Did you guys know Sarah Brady fonder of Handgun Control Inc. was qouted some years ago as saying, "Socialist America can not be realized until those who would oppose us have been totally disarmed." Everyone (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Million Mom March —Christopher L. Weeks
     (...) Wow. (...) Well, I don't think that it's that simple. For instance the MMM's main goal is to have universal registration federally organized. I think it is pretty clearly (mostly) possible to maintain a registry of weapons entering the nation (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

          Re: Million Mom March —Christopher L. Weeks
      (...) I'm not sure, but is what you are envisioning, like firearms rights insurance? Where the licensing authority would be liable for misuse of the firearms by holders of their license? (...) Do you mean at the time of purchase? Presumably the (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: Million Mom March —Frank Filz
      (...) I guess that could be part of it, but my main thought was that the organization issuing the license would need to be sufficiently recognized as having good requirements, but maybe that's unworkable without something very specific. Of course (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: Million Mom March —Christopher L. Weeks
      (...) I think that a strict reading of the 2nd goes against background checks entirely. It doesn't say "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, unless they don't think the same way that you do." (...) I think the first (...)

         Re: Million Mom March —Mike Stanley
     (...) You really think so, in today's infocentric society? Come on, you're smarter than that. If grocery stores keep track of our purchases through their stupid little "value" cards how hard do you think it would be for the government to pull (...)

         Re: Million Mom March —Christopher L. Weeks
     (...) I had specifically envisioned a card that wouldn't leave a paper trail. Since it's for a limited time - say two months - it just affirms my right to purchase arms, and a dealer of arms would be able to sell to me without verifying anything. I (...)

         Re: Million Mom March —Dave Schuler
     (...) Not only that; in the Big Brother world you envision, they would no doubt make a note of your presence in a gun shop, whether or not you made a purchase. And in any case, if the function of this card were to clear you for gun purchases, they (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) not (...) purchase. (...) OK, OK, OK. You've convinced me. There is no way to compromise on this issue. The gun-control advocates will have to be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. Chris. (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Million Mom March —Dave Schuler
   (...) Ignoring for a moment that this is the classic falacy of "slippery slope" reasoning, as well as the spectre of "nazi=forfeited argument," you've made a few compelling points. By the way, can you cite a web-reference for that translated Nazi (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
