So not only is it an image produced by the BBC, as in BRITISH Broadcasting….as in the people who blanket banned guns and forced under penalty of law people return them for a nominal feel.
I guess your definition of confiscation is different than mine. From the article you linked:” More than 160,000 handguns have been surrendered by their owners since new laws were introduced following the Dunblane massacre, the UK Government has revealed.”
Confiscate- ” To seize (private property) for the public treasury.
2. To seize by or as if by authority. See Synonyms at appropriate.
adj. (knf-skt, kn-fskt)
1. Seized by a government; appropriated.
2. Having lost property through confiscation.”
Gun owners in UK were compensated for their guns turned in though it took longer than they expected.
Yep, the law abiding gun owners in the UK had “Nothing to fear” and we shouldn’t either!
BTW, I signed the Brady Campaign card with a nice little comment about how gun owners are pleased that the President ignores the dolts at Brady and has settled with the will of the people.
All I know is that we are celebrating because we know that what just happened is huge. This has never been done before. The gun issue is rising to the top of the issues to be discussed in the upcoming Presidential election and down ballot elections. There is much interest. There is also much misinformation- some just from ignorance or not knowing what is in the orders. Other is purposeful deception and disinformation combined with the usual fear and paranoia.
No. It would more accurate to say that it shrinks it — but how much it shrinks it won’t be clear until further details emerge. Reports had indicated that the Obama administration might set a sales volume past which a seller automatically qualified as “engaged in the business,” but the executive action it opted for does not include such a numerical threshold. Instead, the White House says that sales quantity is one of the factors — along with how long guns are held before being sold, and how much a seller markets him- or herself — that will go into requiring that a seller be licensed.
and Elliot Fineman (and anti-gun Activist who’s 15 minuets of fame eclipsed years ago) wrote this:
Instead President Obama has decided to take meaningless executive actions that will do little, if anything, to curb gun violence and will have the effect of letting the epidemic rage on — even as “no training” laws for carriers grow in more states, open carry becomes more widespread and sensitive places are being forced to allow guns.
Pro-gun-control groups will be ecstatic about the upcoming executive actions, calling them a “first step.” But they are as misguided, pointless and meaningless as shutting down one Chipotle restaurant during an E. coli epidemic.
Heh, there is NOTHING bad that can come out of this for us! The war may soon be won. I think it’s obvious, even anti-gun President Barack Obama has now said he fears the pro-gun will of the American People vastly more than his anti-gun base.
I must close on this!
So Joan says that Barry Crying is good enough for her! Maybe we can compromise after all!
50 states and US Territories Constitutional carry….and Obama Cries on live TV.
All NFA items removed from the roster and sold as standard firearms and accessories…..and Obama Cries on live TV.
All anti-gun states forced under Federal law to respect the 2nd Amendment and not regulate firearms….and Obama Cries on live TV.
Man I could get behind this! Maybe I’m an anti-gunner again! 🙂

He clearly shows how much more effort it takes to refute bullshit compared to the effort it takes to spew it. Cenk is simply lying, but for a “Progressive” who cares, so long as the message is right.
For a rational and functional human being, we understand that people won’t take us for our word, or follow us blindly, so we need to do research and show our work.
