Chuck Schumer: The Numbers Aren't There For Major Gun Control Legislation

Sunday, January 16, 2011


It makes me wonder about those who argue for g.u.n.s and the 2nd amendment based on a belief that guns will keep the government in check and honest, if they've not seen the Department of Defense's 'toys'?  

Did they miss the first Gulf war, and Arthur 'Scud Stud' Kent, broadcasti­ng from the balcony of his hotel room in Iraq when scud m!ssiIes whizzed by him to hit its target 100 feet away (the Iraq government­'s communicat­ions building) with pinpoint accuracy?

Did they not learn the lessons of R.u.b.y Ridge and W.a.c.o?  That when you hear a voice over a megaphone outside your home say, "This is the F.B.l. -- Drop your w.e.a.p.o.­n.s and come out with your hands up", that YOU DROP YOUR W.E.A.P.O.­N.S AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP?  

Do they not realize that the only and last possible venue for challengin­g the government with any possibilit­y of survival and living out their lives unincarcer­ated is to fight the government in the courts?  It's a cr@ps shoot even then, what with the stacking of the courts that both sides are doing (pro-corpo­rate), but there's still a chance which is why Obama (and Bush-Chene­y before him) has gone to such extraordin­ary lengths to assert 'Unitary Executive' rights and is trying to avoid playing on the judicial home field at all.
