"We, the people, call upon you, our elected representatives, to enact laws to:


Create a one year period for the United States of America to purchase at fair market value all guns and firearms, including hand guns, rifles, and even antique guns and rifles from domestic private ownership.

Prohibit and criminalize the domestic sale of guns and firearms, whether new or used.

Seize and destroy any gun or firearm found after the termination of the purchase period without compensation.

Prohibit and criminalize the domestic possession of a gun or firearm after the termination of the one year purchase period.

Provide exemptions for governmental law enforcement agencies, the armed services, and bona fide museums."


What the hell kind of bonzo crack are these people smoking???

Whoa...I think they are actually serious.

Heres an e-mail I sent them. We'll see how they respond to it shortly.

You the people should look at England and see what happened when they took the guns away from their populous. The gun related crimes rose over 66% last year. Why do you think that is? Cause the bad guys will get guns illegally anyway if they are banned and they can walk around with the perception that the victims will not be able to defend themself cause you the people took the only means of self defense away from them with your idiotic ideas. Good luck trying to take away peoples rights under the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Better yet,if you cut out your tongue and give up your rights under the 1st Amendement ( freedom of speech) then I'll give you my gun and my rights under the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. Are you willing to give up your rights? Thought not.

Notice where the political cartoon on the home page came from . . . The Detroit Free Press. I'm glad that I stopped getting that newspaper. It made me sick to read it. It is one of the most biased publications on firearms I've ever read.

Notice that the "evidence" he puts forth to counter "gun control myths" are nothing but political cartoons

And this guy has a show called "Think Radio"? I don't think he could define the word "Think" if you dropped an unabridged dictionary on him.

It's real...and the lifting of the ed. cartoons is quite effective. The use of the pistols as pointers isn't bad either. Where's the kid who did 'mommy liberty', gonna need him.

not worth bothering with. One guy who's been breathing the fetid byproducts of his own mental masturbation so long he actually believes it, and who furthermore thinks his opinion matters to the outside world 'cause he blew sixty bucks on a domain name.

Small fry. Save the energy for those we can actually reach.

I don't think he's reading it quite right. I see it as... "so... you want to ban 'em hunh? How ya gonna take 'em?" Of course, I'm sure he hasn't thought that far ahead.

Who wants to put together a competing web site, something like helloguns...

Governmental arming of citizen in the US.

Laws requriring citizens to carry a gun at all times.

Etc.

I think we'd have to work overtime just to field the hate mail.

The website is a co-operation of Lew Payne and Kimberly Tracey. It is operated under the shield of Lew Payne Publishing, Inc. Kimberly Tracey also owns Apache Moon Productions, which in turn publishes (together with Lew Payne) http://www.babe.net/

Visit it. Kevin Mitnick is their hero. That, and they promote some porn.

Hey, come on, a person's mind can't atrophy that badly just from breathing masturbatory vapors, can it? I mean, that was just a figure of speech, right? Because, um, I have a friend who'd want to know.

Besides, the petition was sponsored by "Think Radio," so they must be right, if you just stop and think...

Interesting.

In the bio of Clark Garen you find this:
Quote:
. In his legal practice, he relishes cases that emphasize the rights of the individual. "Even though the preservation of individual rights is out of fashion now," Clark explains, "I've always admired Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, who understood that the primary purpose of the Court was protecting every individual from being oppressed by the Government."
His #1 philosophy is protecting individual rights. Yet the site is militantly anti-gun and anti-gun rights and EVERY link is anti-2nd amendment. Oh yea, I forgot in the second amendment "...the right of the people..." means "the right of the state". :barf:

Another piece that doesn't quite fit: "In his legal practice, he relishes cases that emphasize the rights of the individual" yet, according to his bio, he spent 27 years in the collection agency business (last I saw that meant he represented companies against individuals).

Folks that are this rabid anti are marketing their "product" creatively and would shut up if they walked off their daisy farm into the light of day.

ROTFL.

Clark Garen was denied entrance to the bar of Washington state because of what the Washington State Court of Appeals called "morally reprehensible conduct".

I love the "12 years as a 900 phone number information provider" he lists on his resume.

Juxtapose the two facts and what do you get ?


Bwahahaha !!
