Gun Control and the Right To Bear Arms - Should Gun Ownership Be Banned

[Boris82much]

A. Call 911 and expect the burglar/rapist to play fair and wait for the police too?

B. Trip an alarm at your bedside that sends a signal to your security company which then calls 911, and you expect the burglar/rapist to play fair and wait for the police too?

C. Call the Obama Neighborhood Special Task Force he talked about in 2008...and you'll expect the burglar/rapist to play fair and wait...too?

D. Defend yourself with a pistol or shotgun and save your life?

So a meth-crazed criminal has just busted a window, sending glass flying into your dark bedroom. As he starts to come through the window, what would you want to be able to do at that moment?

Anyone who is for gun control is just gonna call this guy a redneck because of the way he talks and what he is wearing and he is sitting on a rockin chair in the woods. THIS GUY SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

Excellent video, all fine points!

Did any one understand the The Guy in The Overalls? It's about your Freedoms and the tools to protect them. That right to bare arms the God given right to protect yourself. OH and the German's would never take this Nation on foot friend. If you come against the Americans with any evil hunger will feed you good. All the LED you can eat. On that day our enemies will know Hell has come to breakfast!! God bless America.

Well, except for the fact that the Japanese considered invading the west coast and didn't because Yamamoto said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." And he would have been right.

[quedorf]

@Coulterr This quote although attributed to Yamamoto by special interest groups, it has never been substantiated, and to quote Prof D. Goldstein ".....Some people say that it came from our work but I never said it. … As of today it is bogus until someone can cite when and where."

The Japanese did not consider invading the US, as there was no strategic advantage to it, and they were concentrating on the south pacific.

So let's see if I get this right. Before something can be a fact a group of experts has to bestow that title. So gravity was not a fact until scientists with training and expertise dubbed it to be fact? I wonder also about "most physicists" who until very recently would have stated as fact that the speed of light is the fastest anything can possibly go. Those at CERN aren't so sure now, are they? Them dang little neutrinos are screwing up the facts we thought we knew. Herd mentality!

[quedorf]

@StudioProShop That is not even close to what I said. A scientific fact is a different animal than a historic fact. The point is that this quote from Yamamoto has no evidence at all to support the claim that it was ever spoken by him. It has never been substantiated, and those who possess the expertise and training to "look into" such things have almost unfailingly found no evidence. A quote from Professor Donald Goldstein pretty much sums up the point..............

[quedorf]

@StudioProShop ......" I have never seen it in writing. It has been attributed to the Prange files [the files of the late Gordon W. Prange, chief historian on the staff of Gen. Douglas MacArthur] but no one had ever seen it or cited it from where they got it. Some people say that it came from our work but I never said it. … As of today it is bogus until someone can cite when and where."

[TheGuyInTheOveralls]

What? My friends, all that I can relate to you are these few simple considerations of thought.

Proverbs: chapter 14, verse 7.

"Go from the presense of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge."

Read the auto of "Yamamoto."

@TheGuyInTheOveralls I am not familiar with an autobiography by Isoroku Yamamoto.

[StudioProShop]

When I hear the term "most historians", "most government economists", "most Biblical scholars" I want to run for the hills. "Most" real estate investors thought real property was a no-brainer in 2007. The statement about "most historians" is simply the herd mentality in reverse and is the position of the liberal intelligentsia, i.e. "most historians", to support their desire to rid the US of firearms so that the elite can do "what is best for the people". After all, they know best.

[quedorf]

@StudioProShop A fact is usually preceded by a consensus of opinion by those who have training and expertise in a particular field of knowledge that the laymen do not possess. Consensus being the majority of opinion, or most.

[quedorf]

.........Their interests were in the Pacific, and Hawaii and the pacific fleet did have strategic value. Also the US has not been invaded due to location. Too distant from Japan, and Japan did not have the manpower to attempt such an invasion, as again their interests and resources were deployed in the pacific.

[gladifly]

@quedorf but the nazis would have invaded and conqured the US if the brits didn't hold them off.

[quedorf]

@gladifly Although I do not think Hitler had serious plans to invade North America, I do believe that if Europe and Russia had fallen, at some point would have wanted to stretch the Nazi's borders again and would have invaded (he did want his Reich to last 1000 years). Main point is that if Nazi's did wish to invade the US, civilians in the US with guns would not have prevented them from doing so.

[gladifly]

@quedorf civilian resistence couldn't do much... example there were hundreds of resistence groups in europe during the war but none of them had a great impact in stopping the german advance plus resistence fighters in europe only have a life expectency of 2 weeks before the germans would have rounded them up and kill them besides i don't think its practical to rely on civillians to protect your borders. so to sum it up US civillians with guns would have no impact in stopping a german invasion.

[quedorf]

The Japanese not invading the US because of guns myth is simply that, a myth. There is no evidence of that and the quotes where this idea came from have never been substantiated, and most all historians consider them bogus. This rumour has been jumped on by pro gun groups such as the NRA and spread as fact, when there is absolutely no evidence of this. Japan did not invade the mainland US because it served no strategic purpose.............
