where do these morons come from?

"I laid an unloaded gun on the table and said "Keep your eyes on that thing. the ammo is in the drawer behind you. When that gun makes a lunge for the ammo, you grab it and keep it pointed in a safe direction, and I'll hide the ammo."

A couple of years ago I stumbled on a site that had a live video feed on a handgun sitting on a table. It had a ticker that counted of the days, hours and minutes of "Elapsed time since this gun has killed."

I wonder if you would get any decent knives if you set up a few knife surrender bins of your own around the "Olde Town of Kensington". Just seems like a good idea to the collector in me. Anybody dumb enough to use one of the bins doesn't need a sharp implement anyway.

[AUBE]

eesh the bus thing is scary.

im not sure if im seeing it right but is that a swiss army knife on the bottom right of the bus billboard???

About a dozen years ago when gun "buy back" programs were popular, the Kroger's chain was offering $75 food certificates for each gun turned in here in central Ohio. The local TV stations ran a story on how this was making the world a safer place, yada yada. One channel showed an elderly woman "doing the right thing" by turning in 2 handguns that were "potential hazards" to her. The 2 guns were her husband's WWII Colt 1911A1 and a German Luger he had taken off an officer during the war (I recognized on TV that it had the longer artillery barrel and fancier grips than the standard issue Lugers). She turned in nearly $2500 in collectible firearms for $150 in gift certificates to buy groceries!!!

"... and while you're down here, we have surrender bins available for you to drop off your 'rights', your 'freedom' and your 'personal safety'."

PS ... The Brits didn't invent this. The concept was first test marketed in San Francisco a few years back. It didn't take off because the surrender signs were too small for it to be effective. Turns out that the trolley cars had an existing ad contract with Rice-a-Roni and the available space for the ads was over the back right running board, well out of the view of any self-respecting leftist.

wait, your telling me those bins are NOT pooper scooper disposal bins?

Yes they scare me too, and I am also not that easily scared either.

I have noticed the death of commone sense in this country. What IS wrong with people?

Get someone famous or popular to tell everyone it is safer for them to give up their right to bear arms (i.e. gun buy backs or knife bins) and the herd mentality kicks in. Soon you can control everyone because they will have nothing left to defend themselves with.

This was sent to me by a friend of the Forum and this Web Site. Take a few moments and read this. It goes right along with what this tread is all about.

Note: Of course, we are not a true democracy....but it still is an eye-opener.



How Long Do We Have? And how long will they let us make knives?

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new

constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at

the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the

Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: "A democracy is always

temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of

government."

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters

discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."

"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who

promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that

every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which

is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the

beginning of history, has been about 200 years."

"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the

following sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith;

2. From spiritual faith to great courage;

3. From courage to liberty;



4. From liberty to abundance;

5. From abundance to complacency;

6. From complacency to apathy;

7. From apathy to dependence;

8. From dependence back into bondage"

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul,

Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000

Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won

was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.

Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in

government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government

welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the

"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of

democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation's population already

having reached the governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal

invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the

USA in fewer than five years.

Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake,

knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Reminds me of the time a lady asked me what my camo jacket was supposed to be. I told her, "warm". Then she asked me why I bought it. I said because it was $15.

I'd like to set up a bin advertising $80 per gun, right next to the surrender bins with $75 signs.

In my opinion,,
The things our fathers held dear were not tought to the next generation or were ignorred and therefore could not be passed on to our(as a counrty) childern and now they are old enough to run the country.
ask a 25 year old whom Emily Post is,,ask them the meaning of :seperation between church and state, ask them if they beleave we live in a free country,,,,then go home and cry,
because our nation has squandered its honor and freedoms for the love of a dollor.

I also find it funny that your scholor friend didn't mention that the Scandinavian peoples also developed damascus about the same time as the Asians and Middle Eastern peoples. Of course Vikings weren't as cool as those others apparently.
