"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who
are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who
regard the preservation of freedom as the basic
purpose of their daily life and who are willing to
consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
- President John F. Kennedy

"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom
under any government, no matter how popular and respected,
is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms ...
The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee
against arbitrary government, one more safeguard, against
the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which
historically has proven to be always possible."
- Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator, Vice President, 22 October 1959

"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one
designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances
where all other rights have failed -- where the
government refuses to stand for reelection and
silences those who protest; where courts have lost the
courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their
decrees. However improbable these contingencies may
seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free
people get to make only once."
- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

I'm sure glad I found someone I can agree with!! BY GOLLY, we need to defend ourselves!! And the ONLY WAY TO DEFEND YOURSELF is with a gun!! I sick of those LILLY-LIVERED SISSYS who like to run around talking about EDUCATION and CIVILIZED SOCIETY and 19th CENTURY MENTALITY and things like that!! Those folks are THREATENING MY WAY OF LIFE!! If they were here right now I'D SHOOT THE HELL OUT OF 'EM!! Got my gun right here on the desk!

Criminals prefer unarmed victims.
Outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns!

In fact I'm thinking about having a 50 CALIBER mounted on my pickup!! Next time I see one of them suckers getting ready to take a pot-shot at me, I'LL BLOW EM' TO SMITHERINES!!!

The very first gun-control laws in America were used by the south to disarm freed slaves who had guns to feed themselves and to protect themselves from LYNCH MOBS and the KKK.

In other words, if I was a suicidal homicidal maniac and I wanted to kill a bunch of people, any law would be the last thing on my mind!

DURN RIGHT!! And I want my gun with me, in the car or wherever I am just in case I decide to do just that. HECK, YOU NEVER KNOW, the boss might say something that really TICS ME OFF and if I don't have my gun with me I won't be able to do anything about it. And, what if I see a white gurl ridin' around with a darkie.. BY GOSH, I WANT MY GUN RIGHT THERE BESIDE ME.

[gunownerdan]

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
-- Thomas Jefferson quoting from "On Crimes and Punishment", by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764

In other words, if I was a suicidal homicidal maniac and I wanted to kill a bunch of people, any law would be the last thing on my mind!

When the police are the only people allowed to have weapons, it's called a POLICE STATE.

%u201CWhen you get off work at 12 o'clock or 1 o'clock and you're driving home, you have the right to protect yourself if you're accosted on the highway,%u201D said Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president

YEAH, everyone should carry a gun in their car!! DURN RIGHT!! In fact, everyone should carry a machine gun in their car!! CAN YOU SAY ROAD RAGE?? No need for law enforcement, let's SHOOT IT OUT IN THE STREETS!! I have the right to protect myself from rude drive-thru employees at McDonalds. BRING IT ON you smart-mouthed little freedon-fry toten b*tch!!

[amiwrong]

hit list at school!!!!!! seems to me that parents are to blame with this picture. teachers cannot keep control of the students these days because they were not taught respect at home. don't make idle threats when it comes to disiplining your children. don't let little john cry his way out of disipline be firm and don't sway back and forth. they must understand that there are penalties for their actions. maybe they will not grow up to be these fanatics that carry guns to work and lose their mind. i seriously hope that the penalties for these list at these 3 schools are strong enough and fair enough to get the message across.
when you get back and look at some of these things most of which could have been fixed at home without congress.

[rpm501]

Taking a look at several of the previous postings should make it abundantly clear why employers should have the right to forbid weapons on thier property. The most polite term I can think of is "gun toting fanatics".
Could be an opportunity for making a ton of money. Somewhere on the same block as these major employers just buy a building, put in a gravel lot and stick a bunch of lockers inside. Under-pay one of these yahoos to stand at a counter and charge these people 5 bucks a week to lock up thier guns.
Stop whining long enough to think.

[amiwrong]

if in general, people would be courteous to one another then most of the gun issues may not even exist. the key word is PEOPLE, the guns did not get up on the wrong side of the bed, the PEOPLE did and people are the problem. all of the bureaucrats in the world cannot fix the one problem at hand and that is the dishonest people with guns. if they take mine, it is because i give it to them. so that makes me a law abiding citizen that puts all faith in the Lord and our government that apparently doesn't believe in God anymore.

[johnshaft4]

Some "battle", huh? If the NRA has all the guns, why aren't they using them against the ABA in this epic battle that surely will determine the fate of all free men and creatures great and small.
Lock'n'Load, Baby!...Fire in the hole!, Yea, baby...Don't you just love the smell of stupidity in the morning?

[rheola-2009]

Prevent workers from defending themselves etc.

What a load of garbage.

If that were in any way true, it could only be a sad reflection of the depths that American society has sunk to.

[doctxt]

Sure, prevent workers from defending themselves, and permit those who would disobey the law to carry out 'ballistic' at-work crimes with immunity they know they will certainly have - (they know they won't be shot by other employees) - All in the name of 'protecting' workers!!!

Seems this is a 'first step' to putting a stop to all concealed-carry permits.

Besides, although the vehicle is on company property, the vehicle does not belong to the company, and the company has absolutely no responsibility for it - it belongs to the employee. The company would not be liable if the parking brake fell off a car, and it hit another in the parking lot.

It's just another ploy for employers to stick noses into private matters of employees (whom the company would be nonexistent without) under the guise of 'saftey',

[smoothmonte]

This is a free country and as an employer you should be able to decide what is on your property. There are pros and con to every situation. I would not work for any one that did not allow me to keep a firearm in my vehicle safely stored. I doubt that Weyerhauser Corp, ConocoPhillips Inc and Lockheed Martin search everyones vehicle from bumper to bumper checking for firearms so it's a false sense of security just something to make you feel safe or something to save them from a really expensive lawsuit.
