Ok there is a lot of hate towards Obama right now especially because of the spending. I know there are many earmarks(2%) but everyone is using them both Dems and Reps. I really wanted the Clinton years back or Al gore that was going to try to pay of the US debt. Instead we got Bush and you saw what happened. Now I think that regardless of whether we agree or not with the current government its going to get a chance weather we wanted or not. If the economy is not up and running by 2012 even Obama said himself he would not be in office if the country is not up and running.

He was given a chance. The economy is a horrendous. He should not be spending. He plans to spend. Why should he be treated differently than other politicians?

The next four years are his chance. I don't think people who dissaprove of him should soften up on him though.

What chance he has only been in office a little longer than a Month. Like I said it really does not matter what he does all that is going to matter is the outcome. If the outcome is good you will see him another 8 years. Bush was the exception since he used wars to stay in power.

My thoughts exactly. If Obama fails then I can say that this country is truly done. If republicans screw up this country and dems too then there is no one else to turn to. I will move to Canada or Mexico or start a insurection to overthrow the corrupt government and steal the riches of the top percent that hold all the money. Redistribute it. Start the democracy with capitalism all over and don't allow lobbyist contributions. Why do we allow companies to basically bribe senators? I also think we should do as the Romans and use criminals as slave labor.

I believe we have the right to carry arms. But some have no use. Like hand arms. They are just made for concealment and used to kill others in the street in secret. Those should be outlawed. However rifles should never be outlawed cause its really hard to go anywhere without being noticed with a long rifle. In other words you spot someone with a weapon in public it should be a big alert you cant have the alert with pistols as they are hidden. Also automatics have no place and no use other than to kill innocent people in mass.

Maybe we don't even need guns because the only reason you would need an armed insurection is when the military has more loyalty to the government than to the country(people in the country). Look at iceland a revolution without a gun fired. Government overthrown without loss of life. Now that is a revolution. Take that Che.

As a last resort. The main weapon is the rifle if you knew anything about combat. Pistols are used in close combat when you cant use your rifle. Hardly anyone kills anyone else using a pistol in warfare. They are not powerful enough to kill a target in range and against body armour completly useless.

I think Obama is doing a good job so far, maybe if we give him to change things in the U.S., it would be great, I guess we just need to stay positive.

Well you are assuming that the people that wrote the constitution were God himself and got everything right. Slaves were not counted as people and we got a war for that. We need to use only what makes sense in our time. It does not make sense to keep allowing any kind of weapons to crazy lunatics. Well a nuclear bomb is also an weapon why not allow citizens to carry nuclear bombs? Its totally constitutional right since its a weapon.

Game VS Reality. The closest you can get to reality in a game is ARMA2. But even that does not show you what warfare is.

One case as opposed to how many that he US has. But even if it does happen you still limit the damage. The responsibility is still in the parents fault who did not secure the guns enough and on the crazy kid. No matter what you do bad things will happen but the important thing to do is minimize the damage.

I agree...all of the Bush bashing that happened during the past eight years grew more than tiresome. People don't have to agree with Obama. I don't agree with his stance on many policies...but he is the leader of the USA now and should at least be given an opportunity to prove himself. Maybe the Obama administration's policies will actually help the US. Maybe not. I'm just of the opinion that he should be given a chance. I gave Bush a chance. Now it's somebody else's turn.

I don't even know where to start.... How about I don't believe in god. Slaves have nothing to do with the second amendment. With this logic the first amendment and everything else is invalid. The civil war was not about 'freeing the slaves'. Watch the video again listen closely to the part about the revolutionary war. Nuclear weapons... come on lets keep this in the realm of reality.

I'm pretty sure you can have registered guns if you're part of a private gun club. I don't think you have to be in the olympics to have a gun.

He was given a chance. The economy is a horrendous. He should not be spending. He plans to spend. Why should he be treated differently than other politicians?

LJS9502_basic

This is a ridiculous post. Just because he doesn't agree with your economic model in which one doesn't spend doesn't mean that he is responsible for the horrendous economy. In a few years, when we start seeing the effects off his keynesian economic model (which is the basis of the spending), the economy will be all his. But he's only been in office for a month and a few weeks as of now.

What you're saying doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

How can you say that, when the consequences of his policies have yet to be judged?

My thoughts exactly. If Obama fails then I can say that this country is truly done. If republicans screw up this country and dems too then there is no one else to turn to. I will move to Canada or Mexico or start a insurection to overthrow the corrupt government and steal the riches of the top percent that hold all the money. Redistribute it. Start the democracy with capitalism all over and don't allow lobbyist contributions. Why do we allow companies to basically bribe senators? I also think we should do as the Romans and use criminals as slave labor.

good luck with the second part, obama is going to take away the arms of the American citizens

Such hyberbole. He'll probably put more restrictions on them andat wosrtwill try to re-instate an assault weapons ban (which is one thing I disagree with him completely on), but he's not taking away everybody's guns. That's ridiculous.

Personally, I would have absolutely no problem with guns being outlawed completely.

You have no problem with the government stepping all over people's second amendment right? If guns are to be outlawed, there better be a damn good justificafion. As of yet, I've never heard one from the anti-gun lobby. Maybe you can offer up one that actually makes sense?

I'm a liberal, but that's one issue I've always disagree with alot of liberals on.

I think people should always have the choice to own guns, but if a anti-gunner wants to be honest about outlawing guns, the least they can do is try to repeal the second amendment. I still think it would be wrong, but it would be honest.

It would, of course, have to come in the form of a Constitutional amendment.

As for why I think they should be outlawed, it is because guns serve only one purpose: to kill.

[QUOTE="illegalimigrant"][QUOTE="rob1101"] not just officers everyone in active combat does I believe. And full automatics are already harder to get legally.... anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YY5Rj4cQ50rob1101

Well you are assuming that the people that wrote the constitution were God himself and got everything right. Slaves were not counted as people and we got a war for that. We need to use only what makes sense in our time. It does not make sense to keep allowing any kind of weapons to crazy lunatics. Well a nuclear bomb is also an weapon why not allow citizens to carry nuclear bombs? Its totally constitutional right since its a weapon.

I don't even know where to start.... How about I don't believe in god. Slaves have nothing to do with the second amendment. With this logic the first amendment and everything else is invalid. The civil war was not about 'freeing the slaves'. Watch the video again listen closely to the part about the revolutionary war. Nuclear weapons... come on lets keep this in the realm of reality.

Let me put it simple. My point is that the constitution did not get everything right. Slaves were one example. If you don't like nuclear weapons then how about rocket launchers. RPG7s. They are also weapons and easy to afford. Why should they be illegal? Why should Bio weapons be illegal. The people that wrote the constitution did not see the what we see today. If government does not change to meet the demands and needs of the population then what you get is its collapse and that of society.

Wow fully automatic rifles are banned. What a shocker. By the way I totally agree with banning those weapons. The only reason you would need an automatic rifle is to shoot into a crowd. And unless you plan to do that there is no reason to have them.

you do know there is a difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic rifles do you not? Most of the rifles if not all are sold in a semi automatic variant. Fully automatic weapons are not banned you just need a class 3 license. Please watch the Penn and Teller video again if you still do not understand why these weapons are needed. And please educate yourself on guns before you want to ban them.

Ok there is a lot of hate towards Obama right now especially because of the spending. I know there are many earmarks(2%) but everyone is using them both Dems and Reps. I really wanted the Clinton years back or Al gore that was going to try to pay of the US debt. Instead we got Bush and you saw what happened. Now I think that regardless of whether we agree or not with the current government its going to get a chance weather we wanted or not. If the economy is not up and running by 2012 even Obama said himself he would not be in office if the country is not up and running.

Well the had a chance, but F###ed it up by passing trillions of dollars worth of bills already.

Yeah, considering you haven't seen the results of it, I think it's a little early to say he "******* it up."

Personally, I am pleased with what he has done so far :).

Well, it is easy to predict what the results of trillions of dollars of debt every month is going to be. We all know you are satisfied, but those of us who realize that the country can't keep spending like this (not just Obama, Bush did it also) are not.

The problem is that semi automatic rifles that are meant to be full automatic rifles like the AK are very easy to be made into a fully auto. I don't think we are at a time where we would need weapons to take over the government. I don't think the US soldiers would fire against their own people. We do not live in a monarchy or a comunist state where freedom of speech does not exist. Although as much as I would like to have an AK-47 I see the danger in making them legal. To tell you the truth I dont care what the writers of the constitution were thinking. It was a very good idea back then but its not that relevant now. The only way you could take over the government in an armed coflict fighting against the US army is if you had Tanks, Artillery, Jets, etc. There is no way citizens of the US could take on the army without all these technologies. But I don't think US soldiers would fire on their own people.

the first step to a dictatorship is to disarm the people. Lets say 10 years from now all guns are banned, the government decides the first admendment is out of date, what now?

so yes the best option is just to bend over and let them give it to us eh? what about this they had no tanks, artillery, jets, etc. It is a perfect example of what the secondamendment is for. Do you understand now?

He was given a chance. The economy is a horrendous. He should not be spending. He plans to spend. Why should he be treated differently than other politicians?
