“TAKE THEM”

We’ll have plenty to say in the coming hours, days and weeks about U.S. President Barack Obama’s newly launched assault on gun ownership in America, but before diving headlong into our latest right wing rant we felt it fitting to echo a simple two-word rebuke …

That’s “Molon Labe,” which is an ancient Greek expression which loosely translates to “take them.” The phrase is a universal statement of defiance, first spoken by Spartan King Leonidis I when the armies of Persian King Xerxes I demanded the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.

Stay tuned for much, much more …

The NRA needs to be brought down, just like Big Tobacco was.

Our children are at risk. The children must come first.

When will the violence end, Will Folkes??

Guns kill people.

“…Guns kill people…”
What an astute grasp of the obvious, that “privat skool” you went to really made you into a world class intellect!

Guns kill people indeed, but so do planes, trains, automobiles, boats, alcohol, tobacco, radiation, knives, snow skis, family picnics, my fists, your face and a myriad of other things.

Sic,

That piece of Tupperware in the picture will be outlawed under the Tsar’s new plan – my 1911 will still be legal and still in a pancake holster on my right hip. I don’t worry about running out of ammo as I always carry an extra mag or two and generally hit what I shoot at…

Glock knives ain’t nothing to write home about either.

Raspy January 16, 2013 at 2:23 pm

Pieces of “Tupperware” will still be on the hips and in the homes of real patriots, whether they are outlawed or not. This shouldn’t be about which piece of hardware is best, this should be about a united front against those who would enslave us, if and when that time comes.

Is FITS still Claimming there is NO difference between Romney and Obama?

I doubt Romney would try to Exploit the murder of children, to flex his power among leftwing radicals, who hate America….but Obama is…

A GOP presidnt would move to EXECUTE murderers, like Ft. Hood, so that Leftwing nutjobs would not think it’s heroic to kill masses of people…

Remember: Jared Laughtner was a fan of the Communist Manifesto, a liberal staple…

Romney is still just as much a part of the NWO equation as the Bush family, the Clintons, or Obama. Don’t trust your freedom or your life to any of them.

No thanks. I like girls, so if I’m gonna imagine anyone in tight briefs and a cape, she will be clearly feminine. I fully support your lifestyle choice, though, and commend you for being so public about it.

You remember that lady that got burned by a cup of hot coffee from McDonalds……we need to ban hot coffee to prevent it from ever happening again. Be very wary and suspicious of your morning cup of coffee, you never know when it will strike.

Some coffee containers have a warning – HOT. Would you like one or two ice cubes with that?

They have that “HOT” warning because of that very woman. She sued, and was initially awarded nearly $3 million. After that, most lids for obviously hot products began carrying the even more obvious “HOT” label.

Please tell me where in the legislation it says we lose our handguns and hunting rifles. Losing our ability to purchase assault style weapons, armor piercing ammo and more than 10 round clips is not limiting our rights any more than not being able to yell fire in a crowded theater. And don’t tell me that this is the slippery slope. Our forefathers (hell, our grandfathers) couldn’t grasp the kind of firepower that would be available to the average and subaverage (we do live is SC) citizens. It is harder to purchase sudafed than it is to purchase a military weapon. These are common sense things that hinder (it will never stop) the wrong people from getting the wrong instruments while at the same time providing for more police officers in schools and more mental health help.

OldGuy January 16, 2013 at 4:50 pm

This legislation does not say we lose our handguns. It says our magazines for them will be limited to 10 rounds. Better be a great shot if 2 or more bad guys break into your house.

Slope is not “slippery”. Slope is downhill all the way (look at history of other countries and ours).

Our forefathers indeed did not have such firepower. Criminals then did not either. They do now.

Last I checked, what is loosly termed “Assault Rifle” by folks that do not know the difference are not and would not be used by the military. The military versions are select fire (fully automatic or semi-automatic). Civilian version is semi-automatic only.

More police officers means what exactly when thugs are kicking your door down at home? More guys/gals to get there after it is over?

What if ten or more bad guys break into your house? You probably should get yourself a few bombs and a cannon, just in case.

“You probably should get yourself a few bombs and a cannon, just in case.”

I get that you don’t understand firearms and the concept of personal protection, but that’s just plain stupid. Nobody would light off a cannon or detonate a bomb in their own home to stop a home invasion. It’s like you are intentionally using hyperbole to detract from a valid point.

Reply
Chris Hayes January 26, 2013 at 10:22 am

Uhh, military weapons are select fire, not the semi automatic guns available to law abiding citizens. And to be perfectly honest, I feel it should be legal to purchase rifles with 3-round bursts. Of course, I realize I’m addressing a fear-mongering liberal, so I might as well talk to a brick wall. A fucktard of a brick wall…

But, speaking of bombs, many more mass murders world wide are committed via bomb than gun. Probably time for a 10 bomb per terrorist limit.
