US DJ - Take our guns away and 1776 will happen again

[url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4732421/US-DJ-in-shock-pro-gun-rant-at-Piers-Morgan.html]and the republic will wise again.[/url] [quote]But radio show host Alex Jones appeared to lose the plot last night on US TV as he screamed at Morgan at the top of his lungs, calling him a "redcoat foreigner" - a reference to Morgan's British citizenship - and threatened a revolution if anyone tried to "take our guns".[/quote] So, don't you guys have anybody better to stand up for guns? So far you have this guy and the Pro-gun lobby guys? Also the woman who got got shot in the face a year or so ago is trying to get rid of gun violence. So right now there doesn't seem to be a decent argument or rational thought coming from the US media as to why the guns should stay. Would you join this so called "Revolution"? Should people like this DJ be listened to?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SmD x MaYHeM x [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] LJ 248 Nobody is gonna take the guns away. If it ever were to happen, I think it's silly when these nutjobs think they could have a successful revolution. A revolution in 1776 was possible because it was guns vs guns. Today it would be guns vs the armies tanks, jet fighters and many other things that will destroy you and your gun. A successful revolution attempt today would be a complete failure.[/quote] People seem to forget that the military would be obligated to side with civilians because their oath is to defend the Constitution of the United States, not the government. If the military held up its oath, it would be civilians and the military against the politicians and whatever they could buy. However, there isn't going to be a revolution and a ban isn't going to be passed. It's unconstitutional. It's just everyone wasting their time trying to find a scapegoat to blame, with everything from guns to the media receiving the blame. The real source of the problem is our healthcare, especially the lack of quality mental healthcare. The problem doesn't come from guns or movies or games. It comes from deranged lunatics that didn't get the help they needed. [/quote]Basically this how America works. 1. People get shot 2. People get angry 3. Government says we need to do something 4. 4 months of number 3 happening with people saying the same 5. Nothing happens 6. Go back to step 1. The government won't do anything because of the constitution and the supreme court won't allow it, nobody will willingly hand in their guns either. Basically it's a load of hot air and every side and you wonder why it continues, it's also the same argument for national healthcare, its unconstitutional apparently.
