Do you liberal Parents still support Obaghead knowing...?
Lol
When will the pro-gun people in states such as California push back against the strict anti-gun laws?
Pro-gun people do what we can. Push? What does that mean?We can’t get a really pro-gun person into the governor’s mansion. No politician who has run for even the Republican Party has been an actual friend to gun owners. Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor under the Republican banner? He was worse than most when it came to guns. He signed in the law requiring microstamping on handguns—a technology which doesn’t exist, shrinking the pool of new firearms to only revolvers.The state legislature is well 2/3 Democrat. The bulk of the political power resides in the hands of large cities, which are, as is the case pretty much anywhere else, held by the DNC. The likelihood of conservatives gaining a foothold there is pretty much nil.The judiciary is really the only chance Californians have of regaining their Second amendment rights. Even here, there isn’t much of a chance. The state courts are packed with liberal judges. The state agents who are supposed to protect our rights are overwhelmingly liberal. The attorney generals (liberal) have unlimited coffers to fight issues in court and are always financially able to push the ball up the hill. Even when a court finds a law unconstitutional, the attorney general is able to muscle through a motion which continues to infringe upon our rights until another hearing can overturn the decision.The bottom line is that the general population is apathetic concerning guns. Those who do care are too small a number. Those who are against guns aren’t necessarily the majority, but the system is gamed in their favor.So without a majority to push for gun rights, we’re left with the courts, who are typically the body which protects the rights of minorities. Instead of being referees, they are playing for the other team.Our answer? Continue to buy from the roster and reconfigure our firearms to make them legal. More and more of us are moving out of the state. The rest of us just dream about it.There are people who try, though. We had a failed ballot measure proposal recently. We just didn’t have the numbers to sign it. We have groups like the California Pistol and Rifle Association trying to recover our rights. The NRA has largely given up on us (and for good reason).I am a member and officer of my local club. We offer a place where people can attain the skills, attitude, and knowledge to safely handle firearms.In other words, we’re doing the best we can. Really, our only hope rests in the US Supreme Court.
Where are the minigun and the Vulcan cannon used in the military?
I'm surprised you all forgot the aircraft that was built around the Gatling gun:("A-10 Thunderbolt II In-flight-2" by SRA Greg L. Davis, USAF - http://defenseimagery.mil. Licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons - File:A-10 Thunderbolt II In-flight-2.jpg)The A-10 Thunderbolt II (a.k.a. the Warthog) was literally built to be a flying platform for the General Electric GAU/8 Gatling gun, which can quite literally shred a tank. In fact, the cannon can only be fired for a few seconds at a time, the rearward force so significant it can cause the aircraft to stall at slow speeds. Interestingly, the reason I include it here, is because during the initial rollout of the aircraft, General Electric did not have the GAU/8 ready, so the first prototypes were fitted with the Vulcan 20mm cannon.("A-10 Thunderbolt II Gun Run" by A1C JONATHAN SNYDER - http://www.defenselink.mil/multi.... Licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons - File:A-10 Thunderbolt II Gun Run.JPEG)The image above shows the aircraft firing its General Electric GAU/8 cannon. The 30mm rounds fire at 50 rounds per second (RPS) for the first second, and then fire at 70 RPS for the second. The energy of the projectiles is about seven times that of the Vulcan which is fitted to most aircraft. The seven-barreled gun is 20 feet long and weighs 2.5 tons, and the drum can hold about 1100 rounds, enough to destroy 10 tanks.("GAU-8 meets VW Type 1" by U.S. Air Force. Licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons - File:GAU-8 meets VW Type 1.jpg)The exhaust from the cannon is also so significant, that in early prototypes of the A-10, the engines would stall from lack of oxygen as the gun's tremendous exhaust was taken up by the engines and literally stalled them. That was one of the reasons the engines were mounted above the aircraft center line.The pilot sits in a titanium "bathtub" as this is a Close Air Support (CAS) aircraft supporting ground troops, and the pilot needs protection from small arms fire. The aircraft is highly maneuverable, and does its best work near the ground, destroying enemy ground installations and armor.
Any limousine liberals out there?
You know who you are,preaching about global warming and flying in private jets.Complaining about America's gun culture from behind your gated mansion,patrolled by armed guards. Or how about Alec Baldwin fying a helcopter up and down the Hudson river looking for polluters? Come on step up to the plate and be heard!!
Why is there a lot of Nazi-Hitler comparisons in American politics?
Communism is socialism with a gun to your head. In other words once you take away the incentive to work because the means of production are now owned by the government and the benefits are distributed based on a subjective political basis rather than an objective market basis the inventive to work goes away. When the workers stop working communism kicks in and puts a gun to your head to work or else. Borders are closed and people are no longer allowed to leave. Freedoms are removed, the right to speech, protest, organize, bare arms, etc... Because with these rights people are a threat to any totalitarian regime. Why a lot of Nazi Hitler comparisons in America? - Well because it is recognized by 99% of American's that Nazism and Hitler are both evil. So when you are trying to get a leftist to understand that socialism leads to either communism or fascism they often don't care, but when you explain that Hitler was a Nazi Fascist who won election running as a socialist it starts to sink in with some moderate democrats. PS not all Democrats are left wing, but a majority are.
