If you even for a moment think that is even close to the case, then you have not been paying attention to the "news that it is all over," as you describe it. I know I am not voting if Obama doesn't get the nomination. Not that my vote makes a fucking difference, but I will feel better.

But, the fact that there's a high chance that he would probably be assassinated makes me feel terrible.
No, I'm not trying to be racist. I've had this discussion with co-workers plenty of times.
People who still believe in white supremacy still exist in this world(which is terrible).
It really is time for change, but it's a shame that if either win(Obama or Clinton), there's a high chance either one of them would get assassinated.

I think there are a lot more ppl who despise bush with a passion, than white supremacists who are intelligent enough to accomplish such an assassination and have the balls to do so. actually it does shock me that there hasn't been any attempts at all on bush. In many ways, W pissed off a lot more ppl than Kennnedy or Reagan.

not say I personally like or dislike W, but he is controversial nonetheless you have to admit. His approval ratings confirm this. I agree he has a lot on his plate, but many A) arn't going to take that into account, B) will hold him responsible regardless.
I don't want to hijack this thread into anything anti-bush, so I'll just leave it at that. I was just expressing my opinion that I really doubt Obama would get assassinated. For better or worse, the disgruntled would-be assassins have not been too diligent as of late. Ppl will continue to complain about this or that, but its unlikely anyone will get knocked off regardless whoever gets elected.

Close tie between McCain and Hillary. The safest bet here would be the Clinton machine for the economy. they did ok back then, and a democratic policy might be better to deal with the inflation. There's also a higher possibly Clinton would nominate someone other than Bernanke (whom I disagree with) for the Fed.
As a moderate myself, ideologically I'd like to pick McCain but I'm not sure if a more conservative economic policy would be best for the country right now.

ah yes, www.tshirthell.com (http://www.tshirthell.com). its a great site.
Im going to get mad neg reps for this. But these are my honest thoughts on the election.
honestly, who ever we vote for and wins, theres only 1 of 2 things that will happen.
A. We get a whole lot better. The bush admin hasnt been the greatest. I dont think it would be too hard to be better than dubya.
B. We get a whole lot worse. The bush admin hasnt been the worst. And before you start calling me a far-right wing nutjob, think about it. What power does the president have compaired to congress?
Obama is SUPER FUCKING LIBERAL. Hillary is pretty liberal too, but Obama is damn near socialist. I dont like his policies on gun control, the economy, the military... Basically everything. But hes a smart, young, nice guy from what everyone says.
Hillary doesnt like dogs. Nuff said.
McCain surrendered. Thats why he spent all that time in vietnam. You never surrender, its against the rules. You fight until you cant fight anymore. That means basically no arms to swing, to teeth to bite. But hes a republican (like that matters, I vote on policy not party). I just dont like too liberal.
basically im not voting.
McCain, wont see me vote for a democrat.
McCain, wont see me vote for a democrat.

i have a question for the democrats. why would you vote Obama over Hillary, or vice versa? For those who believe in Obama, what's all this about 'change' he keeps on saying endlessly mean to you? Seems a bit vague to me. Would be great if someone could elaborate this with specifics. I honestly don't see him being that different from other democrats, policy wise. Maybe I am missing something.

No Ron Paul 08 but there still is the Ron Paul revolution and all of its believers including myself.
Yeah I would say that all the assassinations were inside jobs..
People call me a conspiracy nut but I think who ever that gets elected will be similar if not the same to what we are seeing right now in this country.
All of the candidates are basicly puppets of the NWO..lol (let the flaming begin) but thats just the way I see it.
Ron Paul was our only shot at a some what successful future I think, and just because he gets hardly any air time/media time he never got the chance to get him message or face seen as much as all these other candidates.
At least he didn't waste mad money on the campaign.
Then again if I had to vote for someone I guess I would have to go with Obama because Hill is scandalous and don't get me started on McCain.
As far as repulican vs democrat... Who cares.. It doesn't matter anyways.

Ron Paul, he is the only one who seems to know about our “Constitution”. You know, the “ Rule of Law” of our Republic? Who cares though, right? Americans got swindled into socialism.
evasive_one, just because the constitution is kept alive doesn’t mean people are going to play by the rules. Our country is going down the shitter because Washington doesn’t follow “The Rule Of Law”. If they did follow the Constitution we wouldn’t be hearing about how they are going to run our lives.

I'm voting for Obama. I just plain don't like Hillary, and McCain is all for the war in Iraq, so screw him.
Iraq:
Bring Our Troops Home: Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.
I like that. Hope it's for real, and not just campaign bullshit promises.
Drug Offenders:
Obama will give first-time, non-violent offenders a chance to serve their sentence, where appropriate, in the type of drug rehabilitation programs that have proven to work better than a prison term in changing bad behavior.
Rehabilitation instead of incarceration sounds good to me.
I read his stance on gun laws and I don't agree with it 100%. It says he is against semi-automatic weapons. I don't really agree with that, but whatever.
Of the three, I'll go for Obama. I can totally see McCain getting elected though... :(

Well we arent fighting a country. we are searching and destroying. and the enemy is not playing by the rules. we are also trying to rebuild a nation so granted its going to take longer than a typical war. and the truth is, if i had a choice to serve in iraq by voting for Mcain, or having my guns that i purchase with my money taken away, it's a small price. and to mention obamas tax sceam. he wants to tax everybodys ira, roth, and 401k to help illegal aliens. that means that that return that that investor promised you that you worked your whole life for, you'll get half. hope you dont live too long. and then hillary and obama want to tax the crap out of your house if its above 2400sq ft. that means lots of people with no homes cause they cant afford them already. also, what about obama's pastor. we all know what he's said. that white america invented drugs, enlarged prisons, and emplimented the three strikes law to take down black america. and that white people are inherintly evil. now i know african americans are treated unfairly. thay still are. but not by all of america. Id say the judges do need to incorperate more mental and true solutions than locking people away. and the police need to serously chill. but we dont say that all islams are evil because a few radicalists attacked us. that would be like bush nukeing all of iraq for a few peoples actions. what we need is an honest leader, who is for the constution, and meets our expectations. thats what george washington wrote that admendment for. in case our government got too fat headed. problem is, people dont think one simple person can change any thing, because the government controls the military. but people like you and me are in the military. and if it's one thing i know, military people love theyre guns and family. personally, im just waiting for my q.

“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
“The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.”
“The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad.”

having my guns that i purchase with my money taken away, it's a small price.
“They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
Here are a couple quotes from our Founding Fathers.
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
-James Madison, Federalist No. 10, November 23, 1787
Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
-John Adams, letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814
That, as a republic is the best of governments, so that particular arrangements of the powers of society, or, in other words, that form of government which is best contrived to secure an impartial and exact execution of the laws, is the best of republics.
-John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Cooper, Nov 29, 1802
But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

Our founding fathers said those things for a reason. I've been saying this since the primaries started...all the candidates are the same with the same agendas wrapped up in a bunch of superficial crap to get people to the polls. The American people have been divided and fooled into thinking they actually have a choice. RP was the only candidate I feel would have held off the Apocalypse for a while longer but it is too little too late.
Honestly I get tired of saying this kind of stuff all the time. People look at me funny...I feel like the only guy that doesn't see the emporer's new clothes. I'm going to get a good seat and sit this one out. I'll make my stand when they come for my guns, freedoms, and family. Too me McCain appears to be the lesser of three evils.

As far as I'm concerned, it's like getting a choice between whole and fat free milk. At the end of the day it's still milk, and the dairy companies will profit regardless.
Elections don't exist to give the people power, I think it's the exact opposite. It's an elaborate ruse conspired by the ruling elite to legitimize their rule. Whether it's Hillary or McCain, they'll get what they want.
I can't really say that they're in the wrong though. The American people/voters can best be described as a fickle mob that really aren't intelligent enough to make decision regarding themselves, let alone a country. When it comes to elections, the mob is easily duped. It's not about economics, budgets, health care, war, retirement...it's about gay marriage, putting a fence on a border, abortion etc. Things that really aren't going to effect 95 percent of people out there end up being talking points on the election trail.
And in all honesty, I have less faith in the general public than I do in corrupt politicians. Perhaps it's better that there is a ruling elite running the country how they see fit. I'd choose them before "the people" when it comes to decision making.

I cant quite put my finger on it, but something isnt right. Something about him makes me uncomfortable. And believe it or not my instincts have RARELY if ever been wrong about people.
If you read the bible the Antichrist comes from the Middle east not america lol

...The American people/voters can best be described as a fickle mob that really aren't intelligent enough to make decision regarding themselves, let alone a country. When it comes to elections, the mob is easily duped. It's not about economics, budgets, health care, war, retirement...it's about gay marriage, putting a fence on a border, abortion etc. Things that really aren't going to effect 95 percent of people out there end up being talking points on the election trail.
Individuals for the most part are intelligent and are capable of making good decisions. Groups of individuals as a whole are simply retarded. Just like sheeple they do what they are told as they have been trained to do since childhood.

Close tie between McCain and Hillary. The safest bet here would be the Clinton machine for the economy. they did ok back then, and a democratic policy might be better to deal with the inflation. There's also a higher possibly Clinton would nominate someone other than Bernanke (whom I disagree with) for the Fed.
As a moderate myself, ideologically I'd like to pick McCain but I'm not sure if a more conservative economic policy would be best for the country right now.
Worrying about the economy -right now- is not what's best for the country. We should be focusing on 25+ years from now. Market economies naturally fluctuate, whether its a growth recession or an actual recession. This war is not helping either. Currently we're experiencing a growth recession (looking at things from GDP perspective). With the already enormous trade deficit in the USA today (imports account for over 70% of imports/exports), we need a president who can think forward. Someone who understands the importance of going global or we'll shut ourselves out as we did in the 70's and sink ourselves further into debt today. Really this is not a Dem's perspective but if I had to choose between Obama and Clinton - I'd certainly go Obama.
People should be more worried about themselves in this country b/c their spending is outrageous. Over 45% of consumers in the USA spend more than they earn while holding debts in excess of $9k. At the same time, many of those consumers are taking out extra loans pay their debt - a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Sounds similar to our government, which we're all so quick to scoff at.

Ron Paul, he is the only one who seems to know about our “Constitution”. You know, the “ Rule of Law” of our Republic? Who cares though, right? Americans got swindled into socialism.
evasive_one, just because the constitution is kept alive doesn’t mean people are going to play by the rules. Our country is going down the shitter because Washington doesn’t follow “The Rule Of Law”. If they did follow the Constitution we wouldn’t be hearing about how they are going to run our lives.
The constitution - and constitutional law in general - was not meant to be followed verbatim. It is simply a framework which was meant to be modified over time. So while Ron Paul thinks it should be OK for any citizen to own a bazooka, smoke crack, or do whatever is they want to do - as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else's civil liberties - this is not exactly the most intelligent approach to leadership.

Idk, I sometime doubt trade deficit would be the problem some make it out to be. As a nation, our economy isn't really centered around manufacturing all that much. Then again, things that are manufactured have parts built/assembled and/or materials extracted from all over the world. Precisely what constitutes as an import or export more often than not is very ambiguous.
Even if trade deficit is a problem, I doubt depreciation of the dollar would do too much. Exactly how much stuff do we manufacture and export? Who benefits from the those exports? Many US based companies (small and large) rely on overseas materials and manufacturing. Likewise there are non-american companies like toyota that rely on factories in america, employing US workers, etc.
Are the international economies of the world going to shift all their manufacturing away from China and India, and back to the US, b/c of the weakening of the dollar? That's highly unlikely.
In the mean time, the weaker dollar will mean our purchasing power for commodities and materials (such as oil, wheat, corn, etc) go up. Most citizens make the same, but cost for goods go up all around. This has been very much so apparent in the past few years, and inflation has risen steadily at a dramatic rate.
Sure business cycles are natural in most economies, but politicians and the fed can do things to to prolong and worsen those cycles. I just don't see Bush & Bernanke being beneficial for the economy in that respect. I don't deny the importance of looking at long term economic growth, but I don't think you can discount short term activity either.
whomever gets elected will make decisions such as how long to prolong the iraq occupation, maybe appoint diff personnel for the fed (hope Bernanke gets the boot), and other fiscal policy that will effect the economy for sure. Personally I am interested in having a good secure job, know where my options stand with investments, when and if to buy a house, whether or not to look for a job overseas etc. These are matters that will reveal themselves in a shorter run 5+ yr period.
How this election plays out will be interesting, because it will effect those issues tremendously. If McCain gets the nod, imo the chance of inflation will be more likley. If it's Billary, I have faith that the economy will stabilize. With O'bama it could go either way. Personally I think he's a bit too liberal, and things may backfire.

That’s what made this country so great. Live your life however you want to. I dont know about you, but freedom and liberty sounds damn good to me.
This country started going down the shitter slowly since 1913, the beginning of government expansion. Can we say “great depression of 1930”? Now we are most likely heading towards a recession, because of government involvement.

I think your basic understanding of economics, in a global and national sense is a bit off and your points are being lost so I'm not really going to tackle any issues you brought up. As far as Clinton and Obama - Obama is definitely more liberal but Clinton is damn near socialist, which is why she probably would "stabilize" the economy.

-The "mark of the beast" is already in development and will be initiated in stages so as not to alarm the masses. IF chips containing all your info implanted into the skin, do a search and you will find several reputable sources on this topic.
Stage one universal national id cards (on the books to happen)
Stage two eventual conversion of id cards to rf chips for security reasons
Stage three digitation of NAU currency and financial/healthcare records added to chips.
-One world monetary system is in development, stages will take place in regions first, then globally.
-A black man with an Islamic heritage (yes he doesn't practice, claims to be Christian, but the family tree on his father's side still prays to Allah three times a day. He is a very tempting target, even more so than W Bush. Most likely he will be too tempting for some ignorant hick. Obama will be "fatally wounded" by this lone assassin. "Satan" will take over his body and he will "miraculously" rise from the dead. He will bring peace to the middle eastern region...blah blah blah. Do your own research.
You have to admit, although an outragous theory it is plausible that Obama could be the anti-christ.
I am in no way a bible thumper and if I ever entered a church I would most likely ignite on fire. I do try to keep an open mind and have studied several religions over the years. There are too many coincidences to ignore.

No I really have to hear this. I know the bible loosely mentions such things. Here is everything:
1 John 2:18-19 "Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us."
1 John 2:22-23 "Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also."
1 John 4:2-3 "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world."
2 John 1:7 "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist."
Hmmm, I may be the antichrist then, according to the bible. More so than Obama.

IMHO McCain is George W. Bush lite. He wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years if we have to. Ridiculous to me, especially since we spend 40 BILLION dollars a month for this "war". They bomb us because we showed military presence in their holy land and then we go to Iraq, which NEVER showed any proof of Al-Quida actually making their presence.

WOW. anyway. this country is not ran by us, there are several secret organizations and familys, who i wont mention (skull n bones, rockafellar) cough, cough, anyway theyre main goal is the exact same as every person with money and power. more money and more power. they want to control one global economy. fast food, makin us sick, then making us pay for medication that makes us worse. making our entire lives based on technology so well warm up to being robots.its all the plan. and this will happen, and im not one to say america wont get destroyed, in one big nuclear war. my whole point, my advise is, do exactly what we are now. we can fight it, but we gotta live to the fullest, Do what you love, believe in somthing other than ourselves and science, and when they do come to take it all away, give em HELL. and if theyres anything ive said that anyone doubts, just google, skull and bones, secret societys, or global economy, anything like that.

Read up mr paul. Although he has not openly stated anything about bazookas, his beliefs are that there should be no bans of any particular types of weaons. He has openly stated citizens should be allowed to carry automatic weapons and assault rifles, conceled weapons for all, ect.
More importantly, however, the debate about certain types of weapons ignores the fundamental purpose of the Second amendment...By banning certain weapons today, we may plant the seeds for tyranny to flourish ten, thirty, or fifty years from now.
OK so out of his fear of tyranny, no weapons restrictions would exist in the hands of the people. IDK about you but I don't have that much faith in people. Sure, I could buy my own automatic weapon but I'd rather not live in a constant state of fear
As far as drugs, he's openly voted to end the war on drugs, end federal departments aiming at stopping drugs' funding, and to leave it to the states.
Its almost like he's inviting anarchy.
He's an idealist at best although I stand by most of his economic policies and views 100%.

I have. I like the guy. I am a firm believer in this quote..."An Armed Person is a Citizen; An Unarmed Person is a Subject”. The armed populace is the reason our gov't can't just do what ever it wants (true in 1776 and true today). Why do you think that so many politicians have tried over and over and over to disarm the people? Why do you think DC is a gun free zone and sports one of the highest crime rates in the country? I feel safer knowing a law abiding citizen has a weapon on them. If an individual uses a weapon illegally...guess what, he's a criminal. Not all gun owners are criminals. Many citizens who carry guns have saved lives. More people die from car accidents every year than gun shots yet every retard on the road has one. More often than not alcohol is a factor as well, lots of restrictions and regulations on that item. Guess what minors and drunk drivers get that item too despite the laws. Criminals do not obey laws and signs. Citizens should be able to own whatever weapon they feel is an effective deterrent against tyranny and criminals as long as they have the proper training.
The war on drugs...is a joke. Our DEA and other agencies are so full of corruption and beurocracy they will never be effective.

I have. I like the guy. I am a firm believer in this quote..."An Armed Person is a Citizen; An Unarmed Person is a Subject”. The armed populace is the reason our gov't can't just do what ever it wants (true in 1776 and true today).
How can you even say something like that? You are insinuating multiple things here - one is that people are not legally allowed to bear arms, false. Two is that our government is controlling our actions, false. At any given moment, we could take over our government as people if it were truly necessary. Nobody does b/c its a ridiculous concept and totally romantic to think there's reason. And do you really think our president could succeed in turning our military against its own people? I don't.
Why do you think that so many politicians have tried over and over and over to disarm the people? Why do you think DC is a gun free zone and sports one of the highest crime rates in the country? I feel safer knowing a law abiding citizen has a weapon on them. If an individual uses a weapon illegally...guess what, he's a criminal.
DO NOT take what I'm saying out of context. Once again you're confusing the right to bear arms with the right to bear military grade weapons and/or concealed weapons for all. Go drive into a ghetto and tell me they'd be better of being legally allowed to purchase assault rifles without question.
Citizens should be able to own whatever weapon they feel is an effective deterrent against tyranny and criminals as long as they have the proper training.
I simply do not agree at all. Maybe you've lived a cooshy cooshy life surrounded by good, honest people and have never seen the darker side of man. Maybe you just have THAT MUCH faith in people and that little faith in our government. IDK.
The war on drugs...is a joke. Our DEA and other agencies are so full of corruption and beurocracy they will never be effective. The states should have more control over these issues because the feds have failed miserably. The border states, where the drug traffic passes through, should have final say on how it should be fought, not the feds 100's of miles away.
Our federal government is one of the least corrupt in the world and our DEA has made countless drug busts over the years. These are verifiable facts. And they have agency centers across the country. I have friends who work for the DEA here in south Florida...not 100's of miles away.
RP is not inviting anarchy. He is inviting change, which unfortunately is painful, uncomfortable, and costly. The American Revolution brought about change and got the British off our backs.
Are we being oppressed by another country's government? I mean I know there plenty of foreign investors who own a huge chunk of the fed but are you suggesting we should be shooting them up with rapid fire assault rifles? I'm lost.

Many citizens who carry guns have saved lives. More people die from car accidents every year than gun shots yet every retard on the road has one. More often than not alcohol is a factor as well, lots of restrictions and regulations on that item. Guess what minors and drunk drivers get that item too despite the laws. Criminals do not obey laws and signs. Citizens should be able to own whatever weapon they feel is an effective deterrent against tyranny and criminals as long as they have the proper training.

Where did I say they are controlling our actions. Where did I say people are not legally allowed to bear arms? It's true in DC. A citizen cannot even defend their own home with one. Weapons may not be in a loaded state, must be locked and or disassembled. It has happened in the past to other gov'ts and it will happen again. History repeats itself...more likely now that big gov't and socialism are running rampant.
DO NOT take what I'm saying out of context. Once again you're confusing the right to bear arms with the right to bear military grade weapons and/or concealed weapons for all. Go drive into a ghetto and tell me they'd be better of being legally allowed to purchase assault rifles without question.
Let's talk military grade weapons, since you brought it up. When the constitution was written muskets were the weapon of choice for both civilian and soldier. We won the American revolution because we did not play by the rules. We used their same weapons against the British and fought them with guerrilla tactics. We wouldn't have won otherwise.
The "people" (those living in the ghettos who commit unlawful acts you mentioned) that you fear owning military grade weapons are called criminals. The average citizen/collector would not do something illegal with it. Permits should still be issued to own or carry certain weapons. Not the ridiculous restrictions one has to go through to get a full-auto weapon today. Did you know if you legally acquire a full-auto weapon you forfeit your constitutional rights? Law Enforcement/Gov't agents can enter your residence with out a warrant.
I simply do not agree at all. Maybe you've lived a cooshy cooshy life surrounded by good, honest people and have never seen the darker side of man. Maybe you just have THAT MUCH faith in people and that little faith in our government. IDK.
I appreciate your opinion and your expert knowledge of how and where I grew up. Good and honest people can be found anywhere just like bad and dishonest people. Anywhere includes the ghetto, the burbs, and gov't. I don't trust the bad and dishonest people in my gov't that are nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing. If they lie about drug use, cheating, intelligence, child molestation, etc what else are they capable of?
Our federal government is one of the least corrupt in the world and our DEA has made countless drug busts over the years. These are verifiable facts. And they have agency centers across the country. I have friends who work for the DEA here in south Florida...not 100's of miles away.
Try living in Arizona. For every drug lord they take down another gets through or takes his place. There should be no deals, no bribes, no mercy. Too much slips through. Don't believe the propaganda. Washington still pulls the strings on those organizations.
Are we being oppressed by another country's government? I mean I know there plenty of foreign investors who own a huge chunk of the fed but are you suggesting we should be shooting them up with rapid fire assault rifles? I'm lost. huh :confused:
I understand your confusion. I would never suggest or imply civilian aggression against a gov't, only defensive actions when the constitutional line has been crossed by the gov't. Shooting someone up just because they piss you off is just plain ignorant and wrong. You are absolutely correct that we are not directly being oppressed by another country. That is the beauty of it. We are being divided from with in by ourselves. Corporations influence our global policies now. Our politicians are slaves to special interest groups and lobbyists. We cannot even get the straight news anymore with out some sort of spin on it towards republican agendas and or democrat agendas. It will get worse before it gets better.

You realize that .org sites are privately owned and about as reliable as wiki right?
Law abiding citizens buy weapons as well as criminals. How about we make it harder for criminals to obtain such weapons instead of screwing everyone over by making it damn near impossible legally. Check the statistics, most gun related crimes happened with unregistered or stolen fire arms. The criminals get them anyway.
We will need superior fire power eventually...not today, not tomorrow, maybe not in my lifetime. I want to make sure my decedents have the ability to defend their freedoms in the future when tyranny comes knocking. The United States as we know it will not last forever. I hope everyday that it never comes to that. I love my country and don't want it to change for the worst. Do you seriously think I want people running down Mainstreet USA with firearms and rpg's? Think about it for a second, why would the US have nuclear weapons still if we have no intention of using them? As a deterrent? Of course. Just in case? Very likely. Just in case things go terribly wrong we need to be able to have checks and balances.

By the way, automatic weapons are self-regulating. Class III dealers are not about to put their $500+/year registration fee, in addition to whatever sales fees from selling very expensive NFA guns, on the line to make a quick buck, not to mention the fact that, as stated above, anyone who buys a "machine gun" (as referenced by the NFA of 1934) is automatically subject to police search without warrant. Even the cheapest of the NFA weapons costs thousands of dollars plus a $200 tax upon registration.
Selling a gun to someone sans a background check carries stiff penalties. Criminals know this, and that's why 9 times out of 10 (it's fact) they either do straw purchases or otherwise illegally obtain a weapon.
There is no candidate who is truly pro-gun who has any chance of winning. Obama and Hillary will grab your guns. McCain will probably grab your guns.

FYI, I was a bit involved in this situation. Diebold was really not at fault. Sure it was their machines, but 1) Wally O'Dell contributed $10,000 to Bush's campaign and was in a MAJOR position to have those machines altered. He later admitted to altering those machines and will be charged at a later date (http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0828-08.htm). I'm not going to say who I work for buy you heard it first if you really care. 2) the government was supposed to fund the security feature through a company called C2. Well, C2 didn't come through....no security. Therefor there was a major hole in the doc*.diebold.com website and anyone with a comp and the knowhow could have altered votes. Sad, but true. The voting machines are now screened before entering the field and are pretty damn reliable. Now, after all the votes are actually tallied, it's up to the people who are tabulating whether or not they'll count the votes.
Just defending a company and pointing out the actual bad guy in the whole situation. Diebold is actually a pretty good company and has a major footprint much of OH.

If they do any research then they'll find out that it's all fake, but they don't care. Did anyone read about Huckabee at the NRA meeting? Someone actually cocked their gun and Mike fucking Huckabee said he just heard Obama running for cover. This was well received by the fine folks at the NRA and it probably represents a large portion of middle America, sadly. I just don't know if there will be enough support for Obama. There will probably be some people who will enter the polls thinking "I like Obama, but he's a black guy.....fuck it! McCain it is!"

I diddnt read the whole thread, I spot checked..
Criminals dont goto the local legit gun-store and buy weapons, they get them on the black market, which doesnt conform to the rules and regulation we have on legit gun-stores.
We, as citizens need the right to purchase full-auto if we want to. People who purchase guns legally are 99% law abiding and not out to use them in harm anyone.
Don't think for a second that the Government doesnt want to slowly remove our rights, they are NOT in the business of protecting the citizens, they are in the business of protecting themselves. Power corrupts, and once you remove all the power from your citizens.. well, go read some history books to see what happened. Don't believe what they taught you in the public schools.
Without our right to bear arms, we have no recourse when they decide that all the other rights in the US Constitution are "Optional"
Go Obama! -Although realistically, anyone other than Bush and his douche-crew would be an improvement.. I cant stand Hillary though, so if given the choice between Hillary and McCain.. I probably wont vote.

Honestly, while I *do* generally consider myself pro-gun, I'm not sure that I think anyone needs fully automatic weapons for home defense.
How many crimes are really committed with this kind of firepower? I'd reckon very very few, and probably even fewer that are not criminal-on-criminal.
While I COMPLETELY AGREE that criminals tend not to get their firearms from legal channels and thus we should keep legal channels open, I also think that if there are more full-auto weapons floating around the country due to them being legal then it is likely that more and more of these will fall out of legal channels into the black market due to shady sales or thefts.
If we quadruple the number of full-auto weapons in circulation by legalizing them, one has to reasonably assume that this will have a material impact on how many end up in the hands of criminals.
It just seems like an escalation of the civil arms race to be, which isn't something I think that we need.
That said, I do NOT support further legislation and banning of currently-circulated firearms. Criminals are not going into a legitimate gun store and buying a SPAS-12, they're getting it from some guy who stole it. Shutting down the gun stores won't keep the criminals from getting guns.

On May 10, 2005, in Freedom Square, Tbilisi, Georgia, Vladimir Arutyunian threw a live hand grenade toward the podium where Bush was giving a speech and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was seated. It landed in the crowd about 65 feet (20 m) from the podium after hitting a girl, but it did not detonate. Arutyunian was arrested in July 2005, confessed, and was convicted and given a life sentence in January 2006.[225]

That's a scary thought :ugh: They (not sure who they is) did it to themselves. In a true inflation model everything goes up to maintain the status quo. Too bad salaries and hourly wages haven't. If the minimum wage kept pace with inflation like it should have it would be near $9 an hour at this point.
