Fascism is socialism, but socialism is not necessarily fascism, FYI.
And yes, we have fascism, and it is failing as fascism always does (contrary to the myth that the Nazis "fixed" the German economy--they were just squished as they were collapsing under the weight of their own inefficiency). Look to the economy of Spain under Marco to see the long term effects of full-on fascism.
It's not the same. When you drive up the costs of using fossil fuels, commodity agriculture products get more expensive, and people in the third world starve and riot, creating misery.
If the AGW people would focus their efforts on expanding use of nuclear energy, especially new, safe designs, then there wouldn't be a problem. But they don't want to do that. They want carbon taxes and increased government intervention on every front.
Go try to protest outside of the White House and see how long it takes for you to wind up in prison.
Half your family was killed in Nazi Germany? Then maybe you should learn from their mistakes and recognize when a nation is marching down the road to Fascism? You are quite honestly a disgrace to your ancestors. May your chains rest lightly upon you.
There are more than 300 million guns in civilian hands in the US. More than enough to defeat every military in the world ten times over. Rifle behind every blade of grass and all.
Well, we have already lost all of our other rights. The right to own firearms is all we have left. Losing that is losing all that is left.
And no, most Western societies are no longer free. Lots of "nutcases" in Germany said the same thing about their society as their rights were rapidly eroded. The worst actions only happened after the loss of the right to bear arms.
I guess you have never read anything at all written by Thomas Jefferson.
"The tree of liberty from time to time must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants." This was said in response to an uprising against HIS government.
Yes, he fully supported the rights of the people to take up arms against their government, as did many others. That is what makes a patriot. The opposite is a traitor.
Except that they decided to become criminals and murder people, so YOUR argument is disingenuous. If laws stopped this sort of behavior, then we wouldn't have it because MURDER IS ILLEGAL. If guns aren't illegal, they will just use something else. But they are available, on the streets. No homeboy is going to abide by any waiting periods or do any background checks. They will also provide much more dangerous weapons.
Every time guns have been banned, gun violence has increased as an immediate result. Long term, all violent crime remains at elevated levels. The strong can now prey on the weak without fear.
What EXACTLY makes you think that such crimes aren't being reported? Sounds an awful lot like you are just making up excuses on the spot.
Also funny how you are blaming the gun owners for Federal government malfeasance and gun seller irresponsibility. What does concealed carry have to do with gun sales? That's like claiming that low accident rates on a highway with no speed limit don't matter because the evil car sellers will sell cars to anyone even if they don't have a driver's license. It just doesn't make any sense.
If they are selling guns so freely to criminals, WHY AREN'T THEIR CRIME RATES HIGHER?

*In the US, which is only the entire world when convenient.
Oil is priced the same as its 50 year average. Well, priced in non-inflating gold, that is.
Oil only seems expensive because governments around the world are destroying the value of their currencies.

You are in the wrong topic then. Guns are being restricted and banned because of spree killing, not because of any form of logic regarding crime.

You confuse "murder rate" with "spree killers". Such a convenient form of confusion for gun grabbers.
I don't have a television, and those stores defended by gun owners were spared from the rioters, while those that weren't were burned.
Oh, did the UK JUST NOW ban firearms?
I thought the educational system in the UK was supposed to be not horrible?

You mean in Iraq, where they were banned under Saddam and remain banned, or Afghanistan, where they are being used to fight off foreign invaders?
New law: All internet users by the name of Shavano are to submit for anal rape by lonely 400 pound prison inmates daily.
My sympathy for you if you willfully violate this new law is very limited.
Or did you forget that sometimes the laws are bad? Hitler never violated a single German law.
Yeah, like disarmed Mexico!
Enjoy your knifing and not being safe to walk outside after dark.
So basically, you won't be any different than any other American?

No, assault weapons are designed to intimidate and act as a deterrent.

Hitler said about the same thing, under the same circumstances. I wonder if the same thing will happen?
You are a blight upon your state and your nation. The government is not your fucking mommy. Get. The. Fuck. Out.
Yes, and now we have meth and 10% of the black population in jail. Thanks Fedgov!
Yes, statistics are HARD, so we should ban everything that bellyfeels doubleplusungood.
I was unaware that any constitutional amendments had been passed allowing NY to do this.
Please, tell me more about this new 28th amendment.
Pretty sure they already did that.
