On the article Current Maryland Gun Laws and Proposed Changes
rc
5:10 pm on Friday, March 1, 2013
There are plenty of laws already on the books that disallow infringement of fellow citizens’ personal rights. Often, the problem with many of these laws and consequences is that they are not enforced or do not deter the actions of those who chose to ignore the verbiage or subsequent punishment. To these shortsighted individuals and groups the ends outweigh the means or consequences. As a result more restrictive laws only criminalize law abiding citizens. Secondarily, please keep it clear that the rights set forth in the 2nd amendment are not rights regarding hunting or target practice. They state the rights of an individual citizen or group of citizens to strike at those individuals or groups who would impede, by force of arms, their rights as free Americans. If any impulsive shortsighted argument about types of weapons, numbers of clips, registrations, etc. where indoctrinated as law it would do nothing other than further impede the utmost rights of the otherwise law abiding citizen.
Ironically, with the fervor in which some of “our” politicians and unwitting citizens are attempting to usurp further federal and state control over this individual right; It is more likely that we are staring down the barrel of a self-fulfilling prophesy in an argument for the necessity of the second amendment rather than a law abiding citizen’s firearm. -

ReplyThe $43billion in sequester this year would amount to approximately 1.4% of the yearly enacted federal budget. A typical American household has been dealing with 2% to 3% yearly cost of living increases without equivalent compensatory wage increases. We have a lot of self-professed smart people collecting many salaries, pensions, and perks working for “we the people”. They need to back burner the expansive list of social agendas; as far as that is concerned, stick with defending equal treatment under the law and the pursuit of happiness…That’s it! Put our country’s economic health back as the number one priority. I don't understand how an individual with common sense can argue the point that we need to continue print and borrow money to get the fix. Crackheads also rationalize their addiction and try to use pleading and sympathy tactics to get their next rock.

ReplyMary Ann,
To clarify your perception of me, I'm a happy camper and I only break out my "bluster and diminishment" to get the attention of those individuals who may have the ability to see beyond the end of their nose. Unfortunately most of these people are bound to remain cross-eyed.Speaking to which their guile and hypocrisy amaze me. The ones that go on the soft spoken attacks of personal rights under the guise of public safety are often the same ones that would make childish jabs associating religion and guns (site the above article) if someone with an ethos steps in to defends those rights from the threat of elimination. There lays the difference between us. I could not attempt to comprehend how your incident galvanized your personal views, yet you would support politicians that are hell-bent on changing citizens’ personal freedoms. Where does it stop when the failstop is gone? Since I don't know the circumstances of your situation I won't speak to it anymore other than to wish the best of health to you in the future.

Mary Ann,
So I understand, are you saying that an individual who is forced by circumstance to make a conscious decision to defend themselves, family, or fellow citizens, by staring down the sights are not doing that out of love and for the preservation of good? Your first post was the jabbering rant of an individual who lives in an imaginary world cushioned by padded walls of a false security. Your second post proves that you live in a "code compliant" straw house and expect others to live in “code compliant” straw houses even though we both know there is a chance that the wolf could run low on bacon. I love my piglets more than my (to this point sustained) ideals of peaceful happy bliss. Back in the real world now… Out of love, I would choose to be prepared to make a quick and permanent decision if left no other recourse for the preservation of good. Sorry about the metaphor, I thought you might need it explained in the context of a fairytale.
Building Code Hint: If you build your house out of straw don’t build your expectations out of brick.
Regards

They do not have a thirst for righteous indignation. What they have is clearer grasp of human nature, and an understanding that lawful power can be corrupted by human nature despite written checks and balances. (Look in your history books folks and you will site many examples.) These individuals regardless of if they own a firearm or not understand that governance is necessary, but the physical power to repel and forcibly object to invasion of personal rights or overzealous government edict alike must remain with the citizen.
There are plenty of laws on the books that disallow infringement of fellow citizens’ personal rights.

ReplyWhile the American Declaration of Independence stated principles of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" have an assumed counterbalance of Judeo-Christian temperance, the issue of the second amendment within the Constitution is not one of a spiritual matter but one based on the carnal element of self-reliance and self-preservation.
This article making a very general and dubious observation that Americans, more pointedly Christian Americans, relish violence, guns, or conflict deemphasizes secular Americas’ inalienable rights, our respect for independence, or our understanding of not so ancient history. The active disregard in this article for these constitutional truths or juxtaposition of these items in the real world precludes the context necessary to have an intelligent conversation on the subject. If these particulars were included, and acknowledgment of history as a paradigm were revered over ambiguous political correctness then I would hope it would be abundantly clear to those that argue for additional government control that the citizens that speak out to defend the second amendment do not have an insatiable blood lust.

ReplyFrom that very detailed description I'm guessing the one: 6' Tall, White Baseball, Light Plaid Shirt and Dress Pants is Forest Gump and the other 5'6" with the Fedora, black suite, white shirt and gray tie with black polkadots is the Nazi villian from the first Indiana Jones movie.

You proved my point Fifa. The simple concept is beyond your comprehension. You should really stay in the middle of the pen with the wool over your eyes. It is your right to do so.
