“Can poor people be trusted with guns? Overwhelmingly, Republicans thinks so. But while Democrats fight against taxes on the poor and oppose voter photo IDs because they impose too much of burden, they seem to be doing everything possible – from fees, expensive training requirements, and photo IDs — to make it next to impossible for the poor to own guns.” – John Lott in Can poor people be trusted with guns? [via foxnews.com]
At the risk of being completely blunt – They want economic slaves who blindly vote for them out of their own selffish interests. So they make it easy for them to get their Gov checks and vote. However, it is counter productive to allow your slaves to be armed.
I’d thought about this awhile back and I guess it stands to reason that if you don’t trust that certain groups of people are capable of making good decisions with their money & careers you’d also believe they were incapable of making good decisions with firearms.
Why are people embarrassed by the looks of a gun? Stant says the Hi-Point is ugly but works every time. Isn’t that the purpose of a tool? Has anyone ever had a conversation about the aesthetic qualities of a 3/4 open end wrench? If looks are a criteria the AR crowd should never show their faces; these are the ugliest guns on the planet. They look like Madonna with a barrel. All evil black rifles are ugly.
But that isn’t the point, is it? Of course not; the point of the evil black rifle is to make the shooter look good, to make a statement: look at me, I’m bad. Huge waste of time.
The best looking weapon ever made, to my mind, YMMV, is a 1911 with a 5″
barrel. Just the right balance of proportions, barrel to grip. Just the right balance of volume. It looks just right, which is why everyone has one, right? But in the end it is still just a tool.
Most medical equipment is very unattractive, even frighteningly ugly. When it saves your life, though, that puts a different slant on it.

Much like Jessie Jackson, Moore worries about dropping off the radar so he has to come up with something to draw attention.
Thats silly. Even my pastor carries.
Well the towers falling on 9/11 was shown over and over again and the Patriot Act was pretty good.
/sarcasm
My view on these are that they are a good “keep the kids out” vault. For a pro intent on stealing your guns it’s about as secure as a prom dress.
So would it be fair to presume that a poor person who supports their right to keep and bear arms is considered a bigger threat than a non-poor person to our current Democrat Regime?
Interesting.
Is this why the Democrats didn’t want slaves to learn to read and write?
I want Moore to release his latest medical exam, specifically his cholesterol levels.
Or better yet, I want him to release his financials so we can all see how much of his millions he donates to charity.
I normally avoid making anything personal, since this is all just smoke and mirrors, but Moore is a fat, race-baiting, bleeding heart, hypocritical has-been slob.
What happened to his eyebrows?
Most of those of us who work in law enforcement, firefighting and the EMT fields have seen death a few times, sometimes by gunfire, but much more commonly due to motor vehicle accidents. Which produces gruesome injuries, too. I’ve seen 3 people killed in 2 MVA’s. One of which happened right in my rear view mirror. It is a terrible thing to see indeed, but it is the way of life and death. The how doesn’t really matter so much as the fact it happens. The more sensible and intelligent among us understand this reality and while we may shut it out, it doesn’t compel us to take rash and foolish actions. Michael Moore is indeed a ghoul, and despicable almost beyond words. Wishing death by gunfire on him would actually be much too nice. He has no decency whatsoever. I won’t even comment on his twisted analogy to Holocaust victims (which I have seen many, many photos of as I’m a history major with an emphasis on the early 20th century in particular.)

Michael Moore should release some nude photos of himself. Boom, Americans would be so disgusted that obesity would be over like that. All sane Americans will demand action.
“Both can save lives or inflict terrible harm, depending on whose hands they’re in.”
That is true. But no matter whose hands their in, only ONE of those “inanimate objects” gives its user the power to instantaneously take a life with only the simple movement of an index finger.
Giffords was always a social parasite who had one actual job in her life — and it didn’t last very long. The rest of the time, she ran her daddy’s tire business and then became a career politician. So she’s just doing what comes naturally.
I like it when we get stories like this. Its a good change of pace from the news stories that get my blood boiling and making me want to pull my hair out.
well said, +1
That pic tears me up. She’s one of us!
I demand a plan: I demand that Jared Lee Loughner hang until he is dead, dead, dead! I want to watch him shit his pants, and piss himself, and I want to see his body jerk as the life goes out of him! Then, and only then, will I feel that justice has been done.
