Gun ownership addressed

I won’t even address the specific arguments used in Ms. Melton’s article as they are the same tired and typical methods used by anti-gun advocates: emotional anecdotal evidence and cherry picked statistics.

I find it amazing  Obama supporters do not see the connection between Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel’s blatant anti-gun positions and the Orwellian policies of the Bush administration.

Take notice that Obama has never stated he will reverse the policies that have led to the growing police and surveillance state in which authorities may make secret arrests, spy on citizens, and violate posse comitus, thereby establishing martial law.

The Obama administration has even threatened to cut intelligence ties with Britain if information about a British subject tortured at Guantánamo was released.

The new boss is looking a lot like the old boss. We are truly entering into a culture of authoritarianism and Obama’s stance against gun ownership is simply an extension of this.

Gun control is not a safety measure, but victim disarmament.

Thomas Jefferson once called firearms “liberty’s teeth.”

Gun rights have nothing to do with hunting or shooting for sport, but to ensure that Americans do not become the vassals of foreign or domestic tyrants.

Cartoonist owns right to publish, race not an issue

How you view the cartoon is not the issue here. Also, what should or shouldn’t be allowed or what is in good or bad taste is also not the question. The question is whether or not Sean Delonas has the right to publish the cartoon, no matter what its view is or how people see it.

The answer is he does. He has as much right as you do to make an opinion. If you don’t like it, then don’t read it or talk about it. That is best way to deal with it.

Also, if the place was reversed, and an interracial cartoonist attacked a white politician with so-called “racist” cartoon, it would be fine. Also Obama is not black, he is interracial.

Also, being politically correct is a horse load of s---. I don’t believe at all in political correctness, because that’s not being free. Also, why should I censor myself because someone else doesn’t like what I have to say and is not strong enough to deal with it?
