Rebecca Peters ought to be on this picture

Christel, bit of a strange photo that one. Ronald Reagan was about as pro gun as they come, IIRC he was even a lifelong NRA member.

Absolutely true.

Thieved up from Ned Wood's site...

1-----In the United States the first gun control laws were enacted during the Civil War era to prevent guns from falling into the hands of black slaves who might be inclined to attack their masters and thereby keeping control in the hands of the latter.

2-----The Turkish Ottoman Empire established gun control in 1911, proceeding then to exterminate 1.5 million Armenians from 1914 - 1917.

3-----The Soviet Union established gun control in 1929. Subsequently from 1928 - 1953, 60 million dissidents were imprisoned and then exterminated.

4-----China. Gun control laws were enacted in 1935. Between 1948 - 1952, 20 million Chinese, unable to defend themselves, were likewise murdered.

5-----Nazi Germany established gun control in 1938 enabling the government to round up 13 million defenceless Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill and impaired human beings, imprisoning them in concentration camps, and by a conscious process of attrition, destroyed them.

6-----Guatemala. Gun control laws were passed in 1964: as a result, between 1964 - 1981, 100,000 defenceless Mayan Indians met their deaths.

7-----Uganda. Established gun control measures in 1970. Predictably, from 1971 - 1979, 300,000 defenceless Christians met a similar fate.

8-----Cambodia. Established gun control measures in 1956, subsequently from 1957 - 1977 one million Cambodians met their deaths.

9-----Closer to home, Indonesia, another Republic, has a similar record. Out of a population of just one million people in East Timor, 200,000 have been killed over the past twenty years until the recent bloodshed when it still unknown how many thousands more have been murdered. Being promised freedom these brave people elected to vote in a referendum during which the United Nations guaranteed their safety and still they died unarmed and defenceless.

"But, but, that could never happen here." written my a gun control advocate, I actually read that during a gun control debate on another site.

What's even worse is that the UK has cut and cut it's defense...

Another bit from Ned Wood's site...despite being sad it made me laugh, can't say if it happened or not.

CONVERSATION HEARD ON A BRISBANE TALKBACK PROGRAM

"Gun nuts, rednecks and lunatics. That's all they are. What would ever possess anyone to want to own a thing that kills people is beyond me"

"Yeah, I heard them say that they use their shotguns for sport. What kind of sport do you need a shotgun for? That's what I'd like to know? It's ludicrous."

"That's right, it just goes to show how stupid they are."

Two weeks later our shooters were the first to bring gold home from the Atlanta Olympics and that ignorant talk-back host and his equally ignorant supporter must have felt very foolish to find out that one of Australia's safest sports is clay shooting and we are among the world's best.

I read yesterday that New York City's ex mayor Bloomberg is donating $50 million of his own money to the "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" movement to combat NRA spending which was $20 million last year on court cases and such.

Now does anybody see anything wrong with that or is it just me? For starters the US NRA does not and never has condoned illegally held firearms. Then look at the name of this group of clowns. "Mayors Against Illegal Guns", now if they are against "Illegal Guns" why the hell are they going after the NRA and every law abiding gun owner in this country? Why not give that money to Law Enforcement to get the real "Illegal guns" off the streets.

Here's the real clincher though, Bloomberg, the man who wants all guns gone employs eighteen ARMED private security guards to protect him, his family and his home around the clock.

Incidentally, in the past year 15 town and city Mayors have left this cuckoo mob citing that Bloomberg and his agenda are far too radical to the point of being dangerous.

Bloomberg

Christel, nah he's far from being crazy. I reckon it's more a case of him trying to secure himself a place in history. What else will he be remembered for? Certainly not for being the Mayor who banned the sale of 2ltr bottles of pop in NYC. Yeah he actually did that.
