I remember spending the better part of a thread walking you through how the Feds bungled the Weaver case so badly that they ended up having to pay the survivors, and yet you still keep making these posts. Vicki Weaver was murdered by an FBI sniper while unarmed and holding her child, and you want to call her a harridan and impugn her intellect for being the victim of that crime? Honestly Bill, I think it's distasteful at best, as you seem to think the Weavers got what they deserved for the crime of having beliefs you disagree with.


Yay for shooting people over a failure to appear. On fairly trumped up charges no less.

EDIT:
Quote:
On about August 24, 1992, the fourth day of the siege on the Weaver family, FBI Deputy Assistant Director Danny Coulson wrote a memo:

OPR 004477
Something to Consider
1. Charge against Weaver is Bull s**t.
2. No one saw Weaver do any shooting.
3. Vicki has no charges against her.
4. Weaver's defense. He ran down the hill to see what dog was
barking at. Some guys in camys shot his dog.
Started shooting at him. Killed his son. Harris did the
shooting [of Degan]. He [Weaver] is in pretty strong legal position."[10][55]

This is where yours and my favorite political/philosophical topics merge together; yours being black and gay rights and mine of gun rights.
Has it ever just once occurred to you that it's in the best interest of black and/or gay people to be armed against attack? It really does happen, especially with gays, and by attacks I'm not talking about hurt feelings on a message board I'm talking the real deal.

There, I said it and I hope it wasn't all for naught.


There was something I was about to say regarding gay people. I can totally be against homosexuality, however, if my neighbors wanna do it, it's their right, as long as it doesn't directly affect me and they keep it their business. Same with guns or survivalism. The OP may hate guns or survivalism. But unless his neighbor with a bunch of guns is firing them off unsafely on his property, menacing or threatening with them, he should be able to do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't infringe upon others.

Can you correlate guns and survivalism with bad behavior/danger? Yeah, I guess. But this was also the arguments against not persecuting gays, too. The biggest argument was that gays were all pedophiles. However, we've determined this isn't a very rational correlation, because only a few gay people happen to be pedophiles, just as only a few survivalists/gun nuts/whatever do crimes like shooting sprees/etc.

When did I ever say I was against self defense? Or even self defense using a gun? I'm against this cult of the gun, where second amendment rights somehow supersede every other right. That, and I believe constitutional gun rights, as any right, are not limitless - and the line drawn on gun rights ought to be with automatic and semi-automatic weapons.
Crazy people, which should include people on the political and/or religious extremes really should be prevented from stockpiling guns to prepare for the Apocalypse - nothing good ever comes from that.

I was just pointing out that people on the far right extreme in our part of the country are usually from outside the Northwest. And hos it was truly ironic that she figured she'd be keeping herself and her family safe by coming out west.

I think this whole thread was one boys idea to start up a gun argument and he got just what he wanted.

Being anti-gun, and you have demonstrated that you are, it kind of implies being against armed self defense.

No other rights in recent years have come under attack like second amendment rights. Should it really be a surprise that we hold them near and dear?

Here you're throwing emotions at a legal matter.

All I'm seeing here is more emotional canned rhetoric.
Dox is right; we take the time to walk you through things like this only to have you go back to your default settings over and over.

Reality is the fine line between denial and paranoia. Delusioinal would be beleiving that two passenger planes obliberated three skyscrapers and ignoring all the little lines that connect the dots.
