I don't live my life in fear. Never have, never will. I walk the streets at night unafraid of anything that comes my way. I don't need a gun to give me that confidence. I have a mind.
Really? Ok Then why don't you state where you live then? Surly that should not be a problem for a man with all that confidence, and mind! You have nothing to fear, or need a gun, so tell us.
We already know we can shut this mofo down overnight, think back to LA, and certain police getting away with vicious violence without punishment.
That was 1 city, it can be 1 state or 1 country if they really want it to be.

Everyone should realize that there are many politicians, the majority most likely, who do not care about what the people think. We must understand that these people only use the citizens to get elected. Once that happens, it does not matter to them that they are supposed to be representing the people and the laws of our nation, especially the Constitution. This is a blatant 1st amendment violation. Just because they did not like what this person was saying, they use their authority to eject him from the meeting. This is what the government does. A person does not have to do anything wrong, all they have to do is disagree with the government, and the government can use the power we gave them to get what they want. They don't care that they are abusing their power. People like this should be ejected from politics of all sorts. There needs to be some sort of accountability for these people. This is why I have always said there will be a second American Revolution...
Because the only other option we have is to attempt to "beg" and "convince" the politicians and the government to play by the rules. We CANNOT force them. They have the military, the money, the power, and the authority, and thus they can get away with illegal and immoral actions, even if opposed by the majority of the country. They do NOT have to listen to us, plain and simple. Sure, we can vote them out of office in say 4 years, as an example, but how much damage can they do in that time? How much can they abuse their power during that time? And the corruption is getting worse. It has reached a fever-pitch, and the MSM simply serves to make people complacent, either by ignoring the issues altogether, or using morons like Bill Oreilly to convince gullible people that what is going on is acceptable. It is NOT acceptable, and one way or another, if we want to restore democracy in this country, something will have to be done. That is the bottom line.

The first guy speaking didn't raise his voice until Senator Norcross interrupted him plus he made some good point. I don't own a gun I can still see that banning some guns is a slippery slope and usually when you give up freedoms you don't get them back.. I'm very split on allowing guns at schools for staff because It could make things worse but it does leave them venerable.

I too have objections to staff having guns at my kids school, but if the day ever came.........
Better to trust those we are already entrusting our kids with, than the crazy idiots we dont........
It seems a slippery slope both ways, I dont really think there is a right answer either way.

TRENTON, NJ -- During a Senate hearing on upcoming authoritarian gun control bills, James Kaleda took his turn at the podium and made a statement. He described how the laws would be ineffective at keeping people safe, as they only restrict law-abiding citizens, not criminals. He is ejected by Committee Chair Senator Norcross, at the hands of NJ State Troopers. Later the senator refuses to take questions from his citizens so the crowd put him in his place.
This took place at the NJ Senate gun control hearings in Trenton on April 30, 2013.
Things like this make me really mad, remember Government works for us not the other way round.edit on 19-5-2013 by Jasonlreeve because: Missed Spelling
The truth is, you hate this country and the freedom it's citizenry have to change it's representatives using a peaceful means. You wish for armed conflict in this country, thereby making for an easy invasion by an outside military force. It's people like you who wish to destroy this nation. It's people like you who are just like Al Qaeda. You don't like how things are going, so you try and instigate others to civil war.

The time for civil disobedience is drawing to an end. The police do not support the people. They have chosen their side. It is time for those officers who do support the people and the Constitution to resign their positions. This will make the lines much more clear when the time comes.
