Fun fact; the NFA was upheld* on account of the designated firearms were deemed unsuitable for use in a military fashion, which was a recognized aspect of the 2nd at the time. Contrast that today with the argument that guns should be banned due to having only a military purpose. . .
It was a specious assertion and fallacious reasoning then, and even more so now.Fun fact; the NFA was upheld* on account of the designated firearms were deemed unsuitable for use in a military fashion, which was a recognized aspect of the 2nd at the time.

*Yes, the plaintiff had died and no actual argument really took place in that case, but that does not diminish the fact that this was the argument SCOTUS published in their opinion on the case. . .
For sure, I just find it ironic that one of gun control's crowning achievement was founded on reasoning that is directly opposite of the "reasoning" they are pushing today. I like to bring up that case when arguing with them and ask if that means all the NFA stuff should be recognized as protected by the 2nd since we have a SCOTUS ruling it all as explicitly not military in nature. . . It is fun watching them destroy their own arguments just to keep what they already have.It was a specious assertion and fallacious reasoning then, and even more so now.
It's all about the feels. They want you to feel like guns are bad. It's a classic Marxist approach.For sure, I just find it ironic that one of gun control's crowning achievement was founded on reasoning that is directly opposite of the "reasoning" they are pushing today.

For sure, you just have to get to that point in the argument, because they always start off presenting their philosophy as reasonable and logic based. It's only when you start digging do you find the insanity.It's all about the feels. They want you to feel like guns are bad. It's a classic Marxist approach.

Whatever works. The antis don't care whether they are correct or not, they only care about results. If that means lying and/or using emotional persuasion, then if it works, it is good.For sure, I just find it ironic that one of gun control's crowning achievement was founded on reasoning that is directly opposite of the "reasoning" they are pushing today.

Yep, and they will be successful at that every time if left unchallenged. The mask only slips if there is someone there to tug at it.Whatever works.

Meant to post this earlier. There is a connection between Natalie Wood and the Bond films. Her sister, Lana Wood, played Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever.That's the allegation. Wagner off-ed Natalie Wood. Not sure how Karin Dor/Helga Brandt fits in, but a picture of a Bond Girl is always welcome.
