The Award Goes To...

I guess he has never seen Myth Busters. What a deliciously bad idea.

You, Sir, Are Wrong


"No right in this country is absolute," Himes said. "You do not have absolute rights anywhere, in particular when it concerns things that are very dangerous. A classic example is freedom of expression, but you do not have a right to shout fire in a crowded theater. In the same regard, efforts to regulate a very dangerous technology are not efforts to obliterate a constitutional right."

I am so tired of reading and hearing this. I do have the right to yell whatever I want in two circumstances. First, there's really a fire. Second, I'm willing to accept responsibility for whatever happens as a result of my actions. Understanding the nature of people and the tendency to panic, scream and shout, wave their arms and run about, I would never yell fire in a crowded theater. Someone would get hurt. I, and other law-abiding citizens, know this and act accordingly. Same for law-abiding gun owners. We know, too, what damage the improper use of a firearm can do. We follow the rules. Evil people don't.
Don't think you can take away my "dangerous technology" because someone else isn't responsible in their actions. It has already been said shouting fire in a theater is against the law because someone might get hurt or even killed. There are laws against using a firearm to injure or kill someone unless it is in self defense, too. Think, please.
And, "get a dog"? Really?

I Want To Be The One...

...in control.
"Yet in a somewhat intellectually quixotic self-perception, these gun-control zealots declare themselves the rational thinkers on the subject and believe their conclusions infallible, despite the fact that the hypotheses to which they are so devoted are rarely measured in the crucible of evidence."

It Needs to be Said...

...just to make everyone think. It's time to figure out where you stand. What happens when the agreed upon terms are no longer honored by the group that can make the laws and has the guns? 
"Warning: This part will offend some of you but it needs to be said. You could always hold up your pocket constitution and shout, “Stop it! Stop it! You’re not allowed to do that!” You will then be ignored like the constituents before you since the very first congress and president took office. No government has ever been restrained by a constitution. The only thing that has ever restrained any government is its own inability to consume and destroy everything all at one time. And that inability is being overcome more and more with each passing day."

If Alan Gottlieb Shows Up

Anti-Rights proponents should just save themselves the embarrassment and trot along home. The man is a chess master when it comes to the gun rights battle. Don't doubt him, just know that he is seeing far more potential outcomes than anyone else in the room. Go read it.
