What Can We Expect From A President Obama, Part I?

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

McCain doesn't speak for the GOP in toto. Neither does Boehner.

63 Democrats said to hell with Obama and Pelosi's wishes also....

I would rephrase the first part of your statememt as:

X number of Republicans "said to hell with McCain and Boehner".

Quote from Brandonf:

Did you know that in Switzerland every single home has a MACHINE GUN with a full magazine of ammo in it? How come they are not dropping like flies in Zurich?

Thats easy, because Switzerland doesn't have millions of vermin, thug, low life scum, like we do.

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Chicago has BANNED guns since the early 1990's.

Chicago leads the U.S. in homicides........

Hey lets ban automobiles while we're at it.
Just think of the lives we'll save.

Oh wait don't forget
knives
bats
tire irons
hammers
big sticks
high heel shoes
all poisonous substances
airplanes
crochet needles
screw drivers
candlesticks
ropes
wrenches
the deer antlers in your den
boats
swimming
billiard balls
glass
negligent parents
Et cetera
Et cetera
Et cetera

I was going to include stupidity and incompetence but I guess if we eliminate every thing that's potentially dangerous we can keep them.

Yeah because a criminal in Switzerland knows that if he breaks into your house he is likely to end up being a very dead criminal.

Which is exactly how it should be.

Indeed. The argument that guns cause violence is just retarded. If that was the case Switzerland would be one of the most dangerous places in the world, every single household there has a machine gun with a magazine of ammo. They are not violent though, instead it's one of the most peaceful places around.

Obama will preside over a "domestic 911" and gladly impose Martial Law and gun round-ups.

A major catastrophe is in the cards within 6 months.

Mark my words, mark my words.........

I'm not saying guns CAUSE violence, a piece of metal can't cause anything.

I'm just saying in a country with so many violent people, it makes it worse when you give them easy access to guns.

I don't want to interrupt with inconvenient facts, but previous to a family shooting, the Swiss military ammo was issued, sealed, and inspection was required regularly to make sure that it hadn't been tampered with.

After a family shooting, the issuing of ammunition was stopped.

And then there was the Parliament shooting where a guy went in with a rifle and killed 14 people, but that was a privately owned gun.

And yes, I do enjoy firing various weapons. I just enjoy facts more.

You're missing the point. There's little correlation between gun laws and gun violence. Some of the places with draconian gun prohibition-D.C. and Chicago most famously-have horrific murder rates while areas with lax gun laws, in the case of Switzerland compulsory gun ownership, with far less crime than firearm restricted zones.

Let's not mince words. Political correctness-the antithesis to frank problem solving discussion-dictates we not speak the obvious. Gun violence falls upon distinct racial, socio-economic lines. Non-Latino, White America commits no higher rate of violent crime than Canadians and less than many areas of Europe. I arm myself for one reason only. To protect myself from minorities. I will not give up that right without a fight.
