What do you think of the Smith & Wesson sellout to the powers that be?

I think they just committed public relations suicide. They KNOW their customers are against tampering with their rights. WTH were they thinking? I say they are victims of governmental racketeering at it's boldest

I am a 2nd Amendment supporter but I am not familiar with the S&W story you are referring to. I guess I will go look it up or go over to ars forum and ask Frank. But I really don't think that gun manufacturers are going to be able to hold out. Too many idiots want to sue them for peoples lack of common sense. That is just my take.

Thanks for the link. That is seriously fscked up. However like they said in the article S&W is British owned and Britain has no guns so it doesn't really surprise me. I wonder how long S&W "agreed" to this contract? Maybe when their dealers start moving to other manufacturers they will realize how badly they screwed up. I know that I won't buy anymore S&W products until they change their ways.

A few questions I have.
This is from the agreement:

"Gun shows: make no gun show sales unless all sales at the gun show are completed only after a background check."
Does this mean that I(not being a dealer) can't sell a gun to another non-dealer without a background check in order for S&W to be sold at the show?

"Insurance: carry liability insurance where available, with a minimum coverage of $1 million for each incident."
Okay who can afford that?

"Inventory control: maintain an electronic inventory tracking plan within 24 months"
What is this talking about? Do they mean tracking devices on every firearm sold or what?

And what are magazine disconnectors?

You haven't seen anything yet, find the 3rd instance of destruction on this page and read that entire paragraph:

http://srch1.un.org:80/plweb-cgi/fa...tor=adj&Te mplateName=predoc.tmpl&setCookie=1

"a ban on the use or transfer of past stocks or unmarked small arms and light weapons, and the destruction of such stocks"

Now tell me if your constitutional rights have already been decided for you? They ARE coming for your guns dude, it's just a matter of time. They are going to have a hard time taking my first firearm which I got when I was ~7 yrs old and have had for nearly 30 years.

I hope that link works, it's awfully long

I'm a supporter of the 2nd Amendment as well and own several firearms. I am a member of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association as well which has the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution as our creed. Any other NMLRA members here?? I'll be at the Old NorthWest and Eastern Rendezvous this year.
 
Life member of the NRA here.
The f**king media is the reason all these a**holes have guns to begin with.
The minute they **** about a certain item all the scum go out and get one.
Non of the gangs would know what a 9mm was let alone a Tech 9 or an AK47 if it wasn't for them.
They would still be using Jennings etc.. if it wasn't for the frigin media.
sorry I had to vent.

Oldcycles, You're 100% correct that the media is to blame, therefore give this a listen when ya get a chance. I believe it is down today for a move to new facilities:

If you are in to shortwave, check this out:
http://www.gcnlive.com/schedule.htm

Via the internet:
http://ns2.misproductions.com:8000/listen.pls
Use WinAmp or Real Player.

I **HIGHLY** recommend listening to this channel. Ignore the religious wacko stuff and you can learn much. This is THE channel Big Brutha doesn't want you to listen to.

Listen periodically throughout the day, they have different shows on beginning @ ~7AM until 2AM. 2AM-->7AM is rebroadcast. All listings are Central time


My favorites shows are:

Freedom Call Colonel Bo Gritz 8AM Central.
This guy is the true American hero. Ex-Green Beret Special Forces. He was at Ruby Ridge, WACO, the Montana Freemen standoff, the search for Eric Rudolph. This guy puts himself in harms way for justice.

National Intell Report John Stadtmiller 2PM Central
Excellent show about daily happenings

American Sovereign Brent Johnson 5PM Central
Excellent show about common law, liberty, and personal freedom. This guy is good and knows his stuff.

Infowars Alex Jones 11AM Central
This show covers Gubment coverups, Conspiracy, New World Odor issues, etc,

Hope these are of interest. They are HARD hitting and I wish EVERYONE would wake up and see where we are headed.

Question

Technically, wouldn't a ban on any weapon go against my second amendment rights? The amendment doesn't say that you have the right to bear arms except for some arms that politicians feel you shouldn't have.

How are smaller round clips safer than hi-caps? They all hold bullets, and if someone wants to get into a shoot-out, what's going to stop the person from just getting more clips?
 
Toddorbert:

Please read my post on April 27, 2000 11:21 AM and go to that url and find the 3rd instance of destruction on that page at the UN websote and you will see that the wheels are already in motion that you have no 2nd amendment. You constitutional right means squat in their eyes. Pay particular attention to the main sponsor of that proposal at the top of the page, the United States. I don't remember us changing our constitution, does anyone else?
 
I never liked S&W to begin with. I own a benelli and a remington that I bought when I was 18-19 and I noticed that you have to be 21 in most places to buy ammo including shotshells. which is bs because i have the gun, and what was the point of me getting it. I live in SF,CA and it's similar to Japan in all the hoops that you have to jump through. Do this do that, sign here sign there, and then bend over so I can shove my hand up your **** and work you like a puppet. Then maybe you might get your gun.

My question wasn't answered earlier though. Where does it say in the 2nd ammend that that I can't hunt with a full auto. suppose I miss? those sob's are quick, and i'm going to need a spray of ammo to catch it.

All kidding aside, my strongest argument always was that why do we need to jump through all these hoops to buy a gun, but not a lisense to have children. Look at all those irresponsible parents that have kids willy nilly, treat them so poorly and then the kids go on a shooting rampage. Then the government says, "ohh no look at that. Now we have to take away all the guns from the responsible people because they are good, and that one person was bad. Now please re-elect me."
 
Hi everyone,

I am a newbie and IANAL, but my understanding is that from a legal standpoint, the 2nd Ammendment means exactly what the Supreme Court decides that it means. No more, no less.
If a confiscatory law is passed and the Court rules that it is OK, that is all she wrote.

Just my 2sense
 
A few words as a 2nd amendment rights support.

PROXY : Get some FACTS, gunowners.org or whatever is NOT FACTS. It's all propaganda. Have you ever thought that Smith and Wesson would "sellout" on the basis that the lawsuits against them would be financially detrimental to the companies health (a la whathappened in the insider)

I'm all for owning a gun because, if i'm walking alone at night, i'd rather be caught with than without and as they say "i'd rather be judged my 12 than carried by 6"...

But People like proxy and 90% of uneducated gunowners just give guns a bad name.

very few gunowners who own several guns are 1) educated 2) stable. Most of these guys are CREEPY as hell. A gun is an extension of their penis, just like their corvettes and their oakley shades.
 
Oh man, this site is SOOO FRICKIN FUNNY that i had to just discuss a few of the points hahaha.

* Gun rationing: Any gun dealer that carries S&W products can NOT sell you two handguns on the same day... or during the same week!!! (No more than one handgun during a 14-day period.)

Now this one, i can't really see why someone owning more than 1 gun is any less dangerous, but on the other hand i can't see why you'd need more than 1 in a week. I mean is it really that much of a pain heh. But again i'm sort of against this one.

"So let's get this straight: a total gun ban in England has neither stopped 3 million illegal guns from getting into criminal hands nor stopped their crime rate from exceeding ours. But somehow gun rationing here is going to keep criminals from getting guns."

Oh man that's great. England has 3 million guns in criminal hands? That's pretty funny. Where'd they come up with that. If you want facts, its clear that every nation that has COMPLETELY OUTLAWED GUNS murder rate has declined. So has the violent crime. Sure people find other ways to kill, but it's not so easy.. ALot of it comes down to the simple criminal mentality. I'm a criminal. I have a gun. I just want your jewelry.. If i break into your house and presume you have a gun because everyone has them, i'll shoot first ask questions later. If i break into a house and presume you don't, because they are scarce, i'll ask questions first, shoot later. Bottom line is because of the social class lines created as long as there are rich people there are poor people. And poor people MUST live, since we don't help them find jobs or what nto they will steal. If i was poor, starving, i'd steal too. It's SURVIVAL. IT'S MAN'S SELFISHNESS. 10% of the peope owns 90% of the wealth. What's to stop that 90% from taking their fair share back?

* Mandatory gun owner registration: A S&W dealer will not be able to sell any of his guns at a gun show unless ALL of the sales at the show -- including private sales -- are run through a registration background check. Why does the Clinton administration want to know who every gun buyer is?

Clinton doesn't care. This is such a farce. I hate clinton as much as the next guy but the last thing he cares about is if you have a gun. You're no threat to toppling the United states. Don't flatter yourselves.

Mandatory Gun registration? Why not. You have to register at blockbuster to rent a video, you have to register at the DMV to drive a vehicle. What's registering for a gun? big whoop. If you having to sit and wait 5 minutes or whatever(i dont know how long these things take) and it prevents felons from getting legal weapons with no effort at all, well then i think you just need to be a little more patient. I have to wait at the library while they deactivate the alarms on the books, but i understand why, so the bad sector doesn't hurt the rest of us. (by stealing the books, there will be none)

* Mandatory training requirements: You will not be able to buy a gun from a S&W dealer unless you have put your rights on hold for however long it takes to complete a certified training course. Hopefully, someone you know will never try to buy their first gun to protect themselves from a stalker or abusive spouse. Because now, dealers carrying S&W products cannot sell that person a self-defense gun until that person jumps through the Clinton & Wesson hoops.

Again you have to have a license to drive a car, why not a gun? You know how many complete idiots i know that have guns. They scare the **** out of me. I wish they were required to have training. I do not fear a trained marksman as much as i fear some 21 year old punk who walked into J&W Guns and picked up his first handgun after never using one and walking right out.

If you have an abusive spouse, a gun is not the answer.. A stalker, well... if you're THAT scared, their are ways of acquiring these things. but again i see the point in someone needing one in a hurry. But there has to be a better way.

* Mandatory employee training. This would require all employees of dealers and distributors to attend mandatory ATF approved training. Thus, dealers who have had a business for 20 years will now need to send their employees to the federal government for indoctrination.

oh man that's great "indoctrination". What is this stalinist propaganda 101?

* Dealer entrapment. The agreement requires persons under 18 to be accompanied by adults either in gun stores covered by this agreement or in the gun sections of those stores. So the next time Wal-Mart lets those pesky 17-year-olds walk near the gun section of its store, look out! An ATF agent may jump out from behind the camo rack and bust the employees for not carding the juveniles and keeping them out.

This seems silly, but again i wonder if the law reads exactly that, since this page is so full of bull****

* BATF harassment provision. This agreement gives the new Oversight Commission (including its BATF representative) unfettered access into gun dealers' stores -- more so than is currently allowed by federal
law. Any time it wants, the BATF can reach its dirty hand into the dealer's records and gain "access to documents necessary to determine compliance."

That is so biasly written you can almost garauntee its bull****. I'm sure the wording is much different. If it's not it seems ludicrous, but again the credibility of this site is about NIL and you citing it as your "evidence" shows your potential credibility.

I think that's about enough. I feel like i am an educated gun owner/supporter that doesn't buy into all the white trash kill em all propaganda.

Please if you can find some more credibly arguments/sources. but asking gunowners.org is like asking "whitepower.com" their opinion of a new law regarding blacks...

Rainfall, it's still a sellout. Taurus told the government to go get pregnant.



Rainfall now makes personal attacks, tosses out completely unsubstaniated statistics, offers psychiatric analysis, disses Vettes and Oakleys, and reveals his/her envy:

But People like proxy and 90% of uneducated gunowners just give guns a bad name.

very few gunowners who own several guns are 1) educated 2) stable. Most of these guys are CREEPY as hell. A gun is an extension of their penis, just like their corvettes and their oakley shades.

Rainfall, I'm in awe of your power to make a complete fool and **** of yourself in so few words

I bow to your superior wordsmithing abilities.

Rainfall now tries to convince us that (s)he has a sense of humor:

Oh man, this site is SOOO FRICKIN FUNNY that i had to just discuss a few of the points hahaha.

* Gun rationing: Any gun dealer that carries S&W products can NOT sell you two handguns on the same day... or during the same week!!! (No more than one handgun during a 14-day period.)

*Gun ownership is a right.*


Rainfall shows his bias towards communism, his/her preference to stealing over hard work, and his/her propensity to outright lie:

"So let's get this straight: a total gun ban in England has neither stopped 3 million illegal guns from getting into criminal hands nor stopped their crime rate from exceeding ours. But somehow gun rationing here is going to keep criminals from getting guns."

Oh man that's great. England has 3 million guns in criminal hands? That's pretty funny. Where'd they come up with that.

IT'S MAN'S SELFISHNESS. 10% of the peope owns 90% of the wealth. What's to stop that 90% from taking their fair share back?

It's not a fact that every nation that has completely outlawed guns has lower murder rates, for instance:

(cut and paste from another article)

The Soviet Union established gun control in 1929. From 1929 to 1953,
20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

Turkey established gun control in 1911. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million
Armenians, without firearms to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938. From 1939 to 1945, 13 million
Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill people, and other
"mongrelized peoples", all without firearms to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, without firearms to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000
Mayan Indians, without firearms to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000
Christians, without firearms to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, 1 million
"educated people", without firearms to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

Evidently Rainfall doesn't think it's murder if the government does it.

Rainfall leads us to believe that he's privy to what Clinton cares about?

* Mandatory gun owner registration: A S&W dealer will not be able to sell any of his guns at a gun show unless ALL of the sales at the show -- including private sales -- are run through a registration background check. Why does the Clinton administration want to know who every gun buyer is?

Clinton doesn't care. This is such a farce. I hate clinton as much as the next guy but the last thing he cares about is if you have a gun. You're no threat to toppling the United states. Don't flatter yourselves.

How do you know what Clinton cares about? The only thing that he's really been consistent about is trampling all over the Bill of Rights and looking for his next blow job.

Rainfall tells us that Big Government databases are OK, and the government has a right to know what you own, say, or do:

Mandatory Gun registration? Why not. You have to register at blockbuster to rent a video, you have to register at the DMV to drive a vehicle. What's registering for a gun? big whoop. If you having to sit and wait 5 minutes or whatever(i dont know how long these things take) and it prevents felons from getting legal weapons with no effort at all, well then i think you just need to be a little more patient. I have to wait at the library while they deactivate the alarms on the books, but i understand why, so the bad sector doesn't hurt the rest of us. (by stealing the books, there will be none)

Rainfall, driving is a privelege, a library card is a privelege. Gun ownership is a right. If you want that changed, repeal the 2nd Amendment.

Rainfall still tries to delude the world by comparing apples and oranges:

* Mandatory training requirements: You will not be able to buy a gun from a S&W dealer unless you have put your rights on hold for however long it takes to complete a certified training course. Hopefully, someone you know will never try to buy their first gun to protect themselves from a stalker or abusive spouse. Because now, dealers carrying S&W products cannot sell that person a self-defense gun until that person jumps through the Clinton & Wesson hoops.

Again you have to have a license to drive a car, why not a gun? You know how many complete idiots i know that have guns. They scare the **** out of me. I wish they were required to have training. I do not fear a trained marksman as much as i fear some 21 year old punk who walked into J&W Guns and picked up his first handgun after never using one and walking right out.

Again, and I'll type it real slow for you, O-W-N-I-N-G A G-U-N I-S A R-I-G-H-T, and driving is a privelege.

Now Rainfall offers advice on how to deal with an abusive spouse:

If you have an abusive spouse, a gun is not the answer.. A stalker, well... if you're THAT scared, their are ways of acquiring these things. but again i see the point in someone needing one in a hurry. But there has to be a better way.

Now Rainfall attempts to use the biggest supporter of gun control, and one of the most notorious mass murders of all time to support his theories:

* Mandatory employee training. This would require all employees of dealers and distributors to attend mandatory ATF approved training. Thus, dealers who have had a business for 20 years will now need to send their employees to the federal government for indoctrination.

oh man that's great "indoctrination". What is this stalinist propaganda 101?

In case you don't know, Stalin confiscated guns, and killed over 20 million unarmed people (see above).

* Dealer entrapment. The agreement requires persons under 18 to be accompanied by adults either in gun stores covered by this agreement or in the gun sections of those stores. So the next time Wal-Mart lets those pesky 17-year-olds walk near the gun section of its store, look out! An ATF agent may jump out from behind the camo rack and bust the employees for not carding the juveniles and keeping them out.

This seems silly, but again i wonder if the law reads exactly that, since this page is so full of bull****

* BATF harassment provision. This agreement gives the new Oversight Commission (including its BATF representative) unfettered access into gun dealers' stores -- more so than is currently allowed by federal law. Any time it wants, the BATF can reach its dirty hand into the dealer's records and gain "access to documents necessary to determine compliance."

That is so biasly written you can almost garauntee its bull****. I'm sure the wording is much different. If it's not it seems ludicrous, but again the credibility of this site is about NIL and you citing it as your "evidence" shows your potential credibility.

I think that's about enough. I feel like i am an educated gun owner/supporter that doesn't buy into all the white trash kill em all propaganda.

Funny, you don't write like an educated anything, and you smear Gun Owners of America as a "white trash kill em all" organization. Your personal attacks on Pyro show your credibility as well. Not only that, you refute what he shared with us with NOTHING but your <sarcasm> enlightened commentary</sarcasm>, and absolutely no contradictory information.

Please if you can find some more credibly arguments/sources. but asking gunowners.org is like asking "whitepower.com" their opinion of a new law regarding blacks...

And then you finish with more racial innuendos.

Please, if you really are a gun owner, don't do our side any more favors.

Ski Bum
 
Rainfall: Please read my above referenced url at the U.N. website (you may have to copy/paste to read it).
Is that real enough for you?

What constructive facts do you have to present to the discussion? I'll refrain from further using the GOA as you (for some reason)obviously think they are not being straightforward and factual.

Please if you can find some more credibly arguments/sources.

Do you mean "credible"
Here is some of my "uneducation" as you put it:
http://www.guntruths.com/Resource/facts_you_can_use.htm

Your personal attack on me discredits you. **Post YOUR FACTS** and let's discuss actual data.


very few gunowners who own several guns are 1) educated 2) stable. Most of these guys are CREEPY as hell. A gun is an extension of their penis, just like their corvettes and their oakley shades.

Bwwwahahaha... That sounds very 1) educated 2) stable. Where is the data to support your use of this statement? Also, what does a persons' genitalia have to do with the 2nd amendment? Have you strayed from the topic? :O


Another reference for you:
http://www.nraila.com/research/20000320-BillofRightsCivilRights-001.shtml
CONCLUSION:

Sold as getting S & W out from under reckless litigation, the true intent of this agreement is to force down the throats of an entire lawful industry anti-gun polices rejected by the Congress,
rejected by legislatures across America, and rejected by the judges who have dismissed their lawsuits in whole or in part nearly without exception.

Oh boy, Well i'm out of this forum because no individualism exists here just a repeat of BS propaganda i could find in any government report, while you guys preach to hate the government and the fact that they are "out to get you and watch you", you willfully quote their reported facts as you're source, which is, shall i say another contradiction... Oh well ttyl, i can't say it's fun.
 
By the way, i was referring to this..

I'm still not seeing any contradictory evidence on RainFall's side myself, but since he's no longer going to post, I guess I never will.

I'm not exactly one whose known for following any one particular idea or page giving me such 'proof' of ANY of this stuff (articles, talk shows, propaganda pages), but I see alot more commentary than evidence to the contrary of any individual facts point by point, with anything that resembles fact on RainFall's part.
