Feste, I don't know where you live but Fairfield is a quiet little town. Try living in a major city where crime is rampant with armed robberies and home invasions. People have a right to defend themselves. Police can't do it. They just come and take a report. Take that to another level. The Jews, as well as the rest of Germany, were completely disarmed by the Nazis and the Nazis had their way with them. The last thing a tyrant wants is resistance.The founding fathers of our country foresaw this and wanted the people armed and dangerous for any tyrant. They didn't want the people to fear the government, they wanted the government to fear the people. That is the primary reason for the second amendment.

It used to be that if you wanted a concealed carry permit, you had to say why you needed it. Now, you just get issued with it, no questions asked, apparently. In Fairfield, I doubt that there are many people who carry a concealed weapon. There is no need for such a thing here. I would like to ask such people what they are frightened of. I read another article based on some kind of research that pointed out that if people are in an environment where they know there are guns, they will be more tensed up and aggressive. I think that is likely among gun carriers too. They are ready to defend themselves, but in my view that is more likely to attract aggression from others rather than repel it. Perhaps the 2nd Amendment served some useful purpose at some point in US history, but it has outlived its usefulness. I would repeal it and put an end to the romanticization of guns and gun violence, including the erroneous notion that you cannot be or feel safe unless you carry a gun. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : Sorry Feste, but that's the way thediscussion was coming off, very shallow and uninformed. At leastsomeone could have posted the what the gun laws are in the US tomake for a more "informed" opinion. Even the Wikipedia entrywould be sufficient though folks could look up the legislation foreven more depth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act Such shallowness makes the denizens here look like "Eloi". I'vebeen to Fairfield and know there is a fairly significant part ofthe population that no longer follows the TMO. They've moved on. Few of those post here. One of the first things I heard on local talk radio was ajournalist explain the difference between automatic andsemi-automatic weapons. Also there was some puzzlement frommilitary folks about how the Orlando gunman was able to kill 50people without reloading clips multiple times giving anopportunity to jump him. This leads to speculation of a secondgunman and a "staged event". Also Russ Baker, an investigativereporter, raises some issues about the shooter: http://whowhatwhy.org/2016/06/17/russ-baker-dont-rush-judgement-orlando-shooting/ The mainstream media fictionalizes a lot of the news to fulfillthe agenda of their wealthy owners.

However nothing wrong withdisallowing theownership of automatic weapons. Most folks herethough probablydon't know the difference between an automatic andsemi-automaticdue to their sheltered lives as TM'ers and living inremoteFairfield.
