Holy Crap! Someone gets it! Mike Huckabee on gun control...

[michaeledward]

Well, now your just being a dick. I am making a conjecture based on what you have said here and previously. If my conjecture is wrong, you could say so. But if your going to be like this, then we'll save it for another thread at another time. I am not even entirely sure if this is on topic anyhow...

Well, rather than conjecture, you could go back and read what I say. As I understand it, the posts I write stay around for a while.

And, between comments from you, and Warrior Chief, and Mr. Parsons ... you think I am being a dick? - Wow!


Elder999 ... thank you for your first post. It is nice to see you were raising the alarm bell a couple of years ago ... ... I don't know how I missed that thread (other than I may have agreed with it thoroughly and saw no need to comment). I think I had raised the topic in a less tactful way with my 'Is anyone one there still ...' thread. And I may be guilty of giving a prior administration or two more of a pass on some of these items ... but as I wasn't part of this message board (and that this message board didn't exist at the time) no one here will ever truly know. Will they?

Yes, I get mad as hell when someone comes and takes my Free Speech Rights away.

Boy, I wish some of those with guns would do as the Governor suggests:

It`s about protecting ourselves.... from our own government, when they get out of control.
​

But, it seems no matter how out of control it gets, those with guns don't do anything to protect ourselves. They just descry that they will, someday.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution reads

Quote:
A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
and I have always supported it as written.

Even the most villainous gun-grabbers will make that claim. They'll just say it doesn't mean that individuals have the right to keep and bear arms. And I'm not surprised that discussing the other 9 amendments of the Bill of Rights isn't a high priority on a board about firearms.

Seems to me you're treading a pretty fine line with regard to this piece of U.S. Code, so maybe discussing the limits of the 1st Amendment is appropriate on this thread:

Section 2385.
Advocating overthrow of Government
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or
teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of
overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or
the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession
thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by
force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any
such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any
such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates,
sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed
matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity,
desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any
government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts
to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society,
group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the
overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or
violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any
such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes
thereof -
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than
twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by
the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five
years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in
this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned
not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for
employment by the United States or any department or agency
thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
As used in this section, the terms "organizes" and "organize",
with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include
the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the
regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units
of such society, group, or assembly of persons.

The words in italics are the words of the Governor.

Is he treading a fine line?

No. He didn't say he wished people with guns would do it now as you did.

ATTENTION ALL USERS:

This thread is being reopened. It is a great subject and I think we can all have an adult, friendly discussion about the matter without slinging any mud. I am asking that you all please refrain from name calling and stay on the subject that the OP started the thread about.

Thank you.

Back to the topic; I just wanted to say that it is refreshing to hear a politician actually confront an issue head on, instead of just saying what they think will get them the most votes.

One might not agree with Mike Huckabee, but one can at least say that he appears honest in his views.

You're dang right! And I'm hoping he gets the nod from his Party! We'll see, but I'd love to see him run in the General Election. As I have said, I would gladly cast my vote for him!

nice to see someone with the courage to stand up for what's right.
