Democracy is pretty much bullshit.

Not quite as bullshit as the other systems, but it is bullshit, and for the same reasons.

It's the same rich exploiting the poor crap, but the rich have public legitimacy.

Yet, (the Western model of) Democracy is the best form of government compared to all the others.

I was thinking more along the lines of "you don't know what's best for me, fuck off and leave me alone faggot", or in democracy's case "you don't know who's best to lead me, nobody should lead me without my consent, fuck off faggot".

But yeah, the rich will exploit the poor in any system.

CNN is as bad as Fox News.

CNN just seems to  skew and blow certain stories out of proportion to increase ratings while Fox News does the same thing but while shouting conservative propaganda in each show. I don't watch either but Fox seems way worse from my perspective.

The pro gun Republicans are pro gun and play the underdog "Obama is a tyrant" card for the ignorant rednecks because they've received large amounts of money from gun companies.

I know it's not representing every gun person but it's still in the same line of thinking has these people that have a hard on for guns. I was looking at a gun magazine and it was talking about Obama wanting to ban those green tip bullets. The article was saying or implying that if these bullets get banned then it's going to cause a domino effect which would result in every bullet getting banned. Even though it's only a single type of bullet the person that did this article was talking about the only way to save our gunz is to have a pro-gun president.   

Gun control in this country has always been inches-into-miles. We've given far too much ground already and we've learned from that. The gun community cannot afford to give any more ground to anti-gunners.

First it's automatics. Then it's semi-autos with scary-looking features. Then it's semis with >10 capacity. Then it's all guns withn >10 capacity. Then it's handguns. Then all semis. Then all we've got are bolt-action rifles and you make it prohibitively difficult and expensive so that only the rich can afford them, and we're fucked.

Not. One. More. Inch.



Green tip is targeted because it's the most abundant round for the most popular fighting rifle in the country, and it is in the interest of the powers that be that these rifles are crippled with ammunition too expensive to obtain in abundance. The goal of weapon control is and has always been to remove power of force from the common man, and concentrate it in the hands of the ruling class.

I thought green tips were getting targeted because of them being cop killer rounds. Really what sporting purpose is there to a type of bullet that penetrates vests? For my AK you can get FMJ rounds but if you're lucky enough to be allowed to hunt with it you have to have hallow point or soft point rounds. FMJ and any green tip rounds are just going to go through the target with less stopping power. Your hunting rounds would be ones that do a mushroom effect, not green tips or FMJ.

I always thought it was so people who shouldn't have guns have a harder time getting them. So that why we're going to prevent another school shooting or movie theater one.
