Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I fail to understand your point. There is a huge difference between "gun control," and "gun abolition." I'm a democrat, and strongly oppose efforts to abolish handguns, but just as strongly favor a continuing effort to control the use of weapons in the hands of laymen, just to the extent that weapons post a risk to human life. We control everything in society, to the extent that it respresents a risk to human survival and well being. Automobile safety is strictly promoted, though I haven't heard anyone that favors abolising personally owned transportation. The use of alcohol is regulated. Even safety in Sports is taken for granted. Can you imagine the flying of airplanes, without a concern for safety? The safe use and storage of explosives, even fireworks, are strictly controlled. Why should the ownership and use of personal firearms be an exception? You mention all these countries and peoples that "couldn't defend themselves." Why couldn't they? If gun "control" is established, does that mean or imply gun "abolition?' Not as far as I'm concerned. People in the U.S.A, should have the right to bear arms, but they should have this right, only if they've shown themselves responsible in their ownership and certainly in their use, and haven't revealed serious psychological disorders or demonsrated a willingness to use personal owned weapons in the commission of crimes. jp - The Havens graffis-l ; stopthepoisons ; Health and Healing- Wednesday, October 03, 2007 7:33 AM Re: Fw: [Lis-LEAF] A LITTLE GUN HISTORY: At 10:01 AM 10/3/07, you wrote:>>->R J Tavel JD>Learning Electronically About Freedom mailing service>Tuesday, October 02, 2007 8:23 AM>[Lis-LEAF] A LITTLE GUN HISTORY:>>>In 1911, Turkey established gun control.>> From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves,>>were rounded up and exterminated.>>In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.>> From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend>>themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.>>China established gun control in 1935.>> From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend>>themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.>>Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total>>of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves>>were rounded up and exterminated.>>Cambodia established gun control in 1956.

It means not to be touched, not to be interfered with, not controlled..it was put there to stop what RJ denotes through out his posting. What you don't understand is that control is abolishment........this ownership of firearms is a RIGHT not a privilege as you seem to want to believe. If I want to buy a gun, and put it in a drawer, and never shoot the thing, that is my RIGHT to do so...it is not your RIGHT to stop me....where in the Constituition does it require any citizen to show this responsibility and use to the Government to be allowed to own a firearm?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I never said that gun ownership wasn't a RIGHT. I agree that it's a right. You're failure to see this, is part of the defensive mentality of the activist gun owner. You think someone is about to take your guns away. I said I support your right to bear arms. All I want, is that you demonstrate some responsibility in the course of owning them. I don't want you anywhere near me, if you're bearing arms, and are mentally deranged or incompetent; and I certainly don't want you around me, if you're a violence-prone criminal. I can live with mentally deranged and incompetent people, and I can even live in the same town, with violence-prone criminals; but not if they're illegally armed. Nowhere is any of this connected, as far as I'm concerned, with "abolishing" guns. Control is certainly not abolishment. Control is common in society, with all manner of things that pose a danger to public safety. I also don't want people to own guns, that have not demonstrated an ability to use and handle them responsibly. I once saw a man on the street; he was obviously mentally disturbed, and he was carrying a large piece of broken glass. I watched him for about a minute, and saw him mildly threatening people as he walked, though he didn't actually attack anyone with the piece of broken glass. I didn't wait for a more serious attack; I immdiately went into a nearby store, and called the police. A moment later, a police car was driving by, and I flagged them down, and told them I'd already called for help. They took the man into custody. If that had been a gun in his hand, what would you have done? jp - onthemend1 Saturday, October 06, 2007 6:05 AM Re: Re: Fw: [Lis-LEAF] A LITTLE GUN HISTORY: Ok, so you fail to understand his point...how about this one: ".....shall not be infringed.."...is there something there you don't understand?

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Controlling guns only puts more restraints on the law abiding. Those that are lawless will not heed the law... never have...never will. There will always be a black market for guns and anything else for that matter. When are people going to realize they are creating a dictatorship out of our govenment by asking them to micro-regulate everything... our freedoms are being stripped daily... and who does it affect... the law abiding citizens... does it stop crime... NO... has it ever... NO... will it ever... NO! If we give up our guns that will leave us unarmed against the lawless...it will be open season and no one will be safe! The only way to minimize crime is to divert our culture back to its "moral" beginnings. Clean up the movies coming out of Hollywood... Set a higher moral standard... respect life! I could continue but won't... this is a very passionate issue for me... I'm proud to be an American.... and to me that means... God ... Family... Country!.... NOT government... goverment.... government! Thank you and have a great day everybody! Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hello! I am totally intrigued by the "Gun Control" debate that seems to be going on. I am opposed to gun control because my "right to bear arms" choice would be taken from me. And, I would not be able to defend myself if I chose to do so with a gun. Maybe changing the focus on "control" to peace might be an alternative option. I am saving the statistics since I may need them to maintain my free agency to keep a gun. Bad people will always get guns - ask a prison warden. Since this is a group on "Health and Healing", the following statistics might encourage those who haven't decided which way to go and make a better choice! (A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. (B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000. © Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health Human Services) Guns (A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million. (B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. © The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188. Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do." FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand! Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 What is it that makes it so hard for most gun rights advocates to understand the difference between gun "control," and gun "abolition?" Is it that you don't understand the difference between these two words? Any activity, in all rational and orderly societies, that poses a risk to human safety and life, is controlled. We don't "abolish" automobiles, but we "control" the circumstances under which they're driven. We don't "abolish" airplanes, but we control the conditions and circumstances of flying them. We don't "abolish" expolosives, but we strictly control their use. We control, we don't abolish, the use of alcoholic beverages. We are continuing to increase control over the use of cigarettes, when society faced up to the fact, that 1/2 million people were dying of cancer and other diseases, due to their use. But you can still smoke; but not in restaurants, or certain other public places. How is the personal possession of firearms any different? HARDLY ANYONE IS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY FROM YOU. Your joke about "banning" doctors is senseless, since no one has been able to "ban" guns. Controlling gun use and possession is not the same is "banning" guns. Why this confusion. It's amazing. You gun people, hear the word "control," and immediately you start talking about a "ban." jp - cheryl gebhart Monday, October 08, 2007 8:38 PM Re: Fw: [Lis-LEAF] A LITTLE GUN HISTORY: Hello!

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. © The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188. Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do." FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand! Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 And as an Australian, in a Country that has gun control laws I am also intrigued by your gun control laws, or should I say, lack thereof. I am proud to be an Australian and proud of the fact that we do have gun control laws. And we certainly do not have the huge number of mass shootings that you in the US are frequently having and for that I am thankful. We do not need a "right to bear arms" but we do need a right to be SAFE from trigger happy gun-toters who shoot first and ask questions later. I'm sorry but I just cannot get my head around the fact that Americans are so insecure that they have to have a gun to make them "safe". We still have murders, etc because even gun control laws won't stop those who are determined to have illegal guns but they are the minority of the population and the bulk of us can get on with our lives in safety. Lyndall ---- cheryl gebhart 9/10/2007 2:41:43 PM Re: Fw: [Lis-LEAF] A LITTLE GUN HISTORY: Hello! I am totally intrigued by the "Gun Control" debate that seems to be going on. I am opposed to gun control because my "right to bear arms" choice would be taken from me. And, I would not be able to defend myself if I chose to do so with a gun.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Exactly! Australia has gun CONTROL laws which means you cannot just go and buy a gun off the shelf, you MUST apply for a license, get a police check, medical, etc to prove that you are fit and able to properly own/handle a gun. And you must have a proper gun storage cupboard (with lock). Sporting gun clubs exist to train people in the proper use of firearms. And hunters must have current gun licenses. Yes you still have those who deliberately break the laws, you always will, but the bulk of the population accept and respect those laws and abide by them and as a result we have a safer environment to live in. huggs Lyndall ---- John Polifronio 11/10/2007 6:24:51 AM Re: Re: Fw: [Lis-LEAF] A LITTLE GUN HISTORY: What is it that makes it so hard for most gun rights advocates to understand the difference between gun "control," and gun "abolition?" Is it that you don't understand the difference between these two words? Any activity, in all rational and orderly societies, that poses a risk to human safety and life, is controlled. We don't "abolish" automobiles, but we "control" the circumstances under which they're driven. How is the personal possession of firearms any different? HARDLY ANYONE IS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY FROM YOU. Your joke about "banning" doctors is senseless, since no one has been able to "ban" guns.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 So I take it that White Americans are innocent of racial prejudice? That your American forefathers didnt almost totally wipe-out the American Indian?? Native Americans are forced to live in Reservations, almost all of them confined to the harshest and most desolute parts of the US. So "who" is perfect????
