The gun was still DESIGNED to be fired with one hand, adding the ability to control it better makes it … more dangerous according to the atfu ( in reality less dangerous except in the hands of criminals who don’t give a rats ass about the laws in the first place)

Using atfu logic drivers ed cars that have had an additional brake pedal added must therefore be meant to be driven by two people and should be banned as well as they are now more dangerous.

Obama would want to keep his hands clean to maintain his electability. Sticking it to gun owners would be Joe “Gun Ban” Biden’s job.

But after re-reading I can see how that could be misleading.

First off, I did not specify a violent revolution before an electoral revolution. And much of what many supporters of Ron Paul…be they more libertarian or to the whacko fringes are hoping for is an electoral revolution, a peaceful revolution and resolution to change course.

“The government we have now is the result of people asking government to wipe their asses and fix all their problems.”

Absolutely agree, which is why I personally do not think there could be a successful nationwide revolution. That said, I could see segments, regions distinguish themselves, even separate and secede.

Anything more would be messy, and likely result in either great bloodshed, or a lower-quality of life. The American Revolution was a rarity in that it was a bloody revolution that actually led to a reasonably stable result. Most revolutions that involved violence lead to tragic failures fill with tyranny and death.

I do believe it is possible for a revolution to result in a better form of government. But I believe it is very slim. 1-in-10 at best and probably closer to 1-in-50.

That said, electoral revolutions as you termed it, usually stem from a backlash of someone toward the other side. The Republican revolution in 1994 was a direct result of President Clinton and a Democrat Congress. Meanwhile, the losses in Congress stem directly from President Bush and a Republican Congress. However, I believe this to be a larger trend because two sides have been affected. The Left, always ready to hate Republicans, conservatives, etc. And the libertarians sick of a Republican Party that is neither fiscally conservative nor protects our core rights has led to many conservatives and libertarians dis-avowing support for the Republican Party.

That said, I do believe that if we continue on a path that tramples personal rights and liberties as we seem to be on. The result will be one of two options, a revolution or a fascist socialist tyranny. It’s just a matter of time, 20 yrs, 100 yrs, 200 yrs? As you’ve stated, many are willing to accept such tyranny in exchange for bread and circuses or in modern day terms pizza and television.

That said, I’d wager $20 that if Obama gets elected with a Democrat controlled Congress. That there would be a strong political backlash in following elections.

“That people want such a government is the problem that needs to be solved.”
Very much agreed, and doubtful there is a solution to that problem other than a complete failure of the system and total collapse which would be chaos and equate to much tragedy.

The government we have now is the result of people asking government to wipe their asses and fix all their problems. That people want such a government is the problem that needs to be solved.

Not sure…

I think Obama might be the path to zero government. (ie: revolution). Voting for the lesser of two evils simply delays matters. Voting for the greater can sometimes be a catalyst. That said, Sarah Palin has won my vote. I won’t be voting for McCain, but I will vote for Sarah.

If you are firing potatoes at inanimate objects, it is not a weapon and therefore not a DD.

If you use it as a weapon or you start making weapon type rounds for the spud gun, it becomes a DD.

The ATF has better things to do than go around making themselves look stupid for arresting 15 year olds with potato guns. Technically molotov cocktails are DDs as well, but I suspect the vast majority of [male] children have constructed gunpowder or gasoline bombs at one time or another for fun.

Wow….

Maybe I should tell a few of my friends that they need to register their potato guns. By definition, they fall into such a category. *lame*

I wish everyone saw the wisdom in voting for Ron Paul. Sure, some might disagree with his viewpoints. But getting rid of 90% of government influence would have been a beautiful thing.
