Choosing a Gun

[mantra]

The left making exagerations and lying about conservative positions?
Shock horror! Say it isn't so

Getting low on your medication dear?

Perhaps you are? You're talking to yourself again.

I reposted it because you obviously missed it the first time and did exactly what was posted. Exaggerate and lie.

It's become habitual for you. Ever been tested for OCD?

Can you point out the lies?

Can you imagine what things would be like if we had to return to the laws of the sixties again? Backstreet abortions, bleeding to death in an alleyway or at home.

Severe infections, blood poisoning, emergency surgery, and then the possibility of prosecution afterward.

Tony Abbott - leader of the opposition is also against abortion. When he was health minister under John Howard - he introduced an abortion hotline run by the Catholic Church. He also suggested that babies could be adopted rather than aborted. That's all very well and good from a moral and religious perspective, but it isn't realistic. It would be no surprise to see him reintroduce his beliefs by attempting to outlaw abortion clinics if he became primeminister.

More idiotic statements and scaremongering.

I gather many Catholics would be against abortion in our secular society.
Yet Abbott as Health Minister did not put an end to abortion and never will.

This is what actually happens when you give teachers guns in schools

A Bennington, Vermont teacher was placed in jail after a neighbor reported seeing him carry a Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle to his car before school. The Bushmaster AR-15 is the very same assault weapon used to kill 27 people including 20 children in a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school. Police tracked some disturbing Facebook and YouTube videos (since removed) back to him – which described how the school “is sick and needs to be healed.” In one video clip, Davis said “This is all planned and very well thought out. I’ve studied military tactics and this is the way to go. it’s all going to hit so hard, so fast and shut that school system down til they get things straight.”
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette said: “Some of his postings on YouTube and Facebook were very concerning when he talked about studying military style training he talked about reading CIA manuals and has a real dislike for some of the staff at the high school that was alarming to us and we were concerned about the safety of those people.”
Steven Davis turned in his assault weapon and himself to a mental health facility after questioning. His wife has since filed a restraining order against him.

The obvious solution, then, is to give kids permits to carry, so that they can protect themselves from the teachers.

US PA members, do you think Obama's plan will make a difference. I don't see how it will have much of a difference.

A working group led by Vice-President Joe Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said.

To sell such changes, the White House is developing strategies to work around the National Rifle Association that one source said could include rallying support from retail chain Wal-Mart and other gun retailers for measures that would benefit their businesses.

White House aides have also been in regular contact with advisers to New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, an outspoken gun-control advocate who could emerge as a powerful surrogate for the Obama administration's agenda.

The Biden group, formed last month after the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, that killed 20 children and six adults, plans to submit a package of recommendations to US President Barack Obama this month. Once Mr Obama's proposals are set, he plans to lead a public-relations offensive to generate popular support.

Mr Biden's group has expanded its focus to include measures that would not need congressional approval. Possibilities include changes to federal mental health programs and a new database that would allow the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to track all gun sales.

Yet Abbott as Health Minister did not put an end to abortion and never will.

Of course not .. not unless he can outlaw coat hangers. But he did try to prevent 'The morning after' pill RU486 from being allowed into Australia. The parliament had to take the authority he'd claimed for himself over RU486 as Minister for Health and give it to the board overseeing the Pharmacutical Benefits Scheme.

This is supposed to be about guns. I suppose you could abort by putting a blank shell to the mother's belly.

Why does he have his legs spread, do you think?



Gun Appreciation Day set for the day before inauguration

Gun Appreciation Day has been scheduled the day before President Obama is sworn into office for his second term. Which is further evidence that if there’s one thing gun people know, it’s timing.
The event is being held as a protest because of the renewed interest in reviving the National Assault Weapons Ban. Gun owners are noticeably upset over recent events where guns have been portrayed in a negative light: an emotionally disturbed man shot a schoolroom full of children, an ex-con set his house on fire and shot at the responding firefighters. And speaking of timing, a man shot at people on a rural road in Pennsylvania while the president of the NRA was giving a speech about the need for more guns.
People are often fearful of copycat crimes in the wake such tragedies and often seek to prevent future acts from happening. But not gun people. Like a vegan in a supermarket, they’re ready to tell you exactly what you’re dealing with and at what cost. They seem to want to send a message they don’t like being threatened, which they’ve done by threatening others.
So as a president not popular with gun people is sworn in to protect them they’re assuring themselves and trying to show everyone else they don’t need it.
