If it weren't for what I'm guessing to be a drug lookout, yelling to them "leave him alone, he's just working", I'm not sure how that moment would have turned out. The guy on the corner that did the yelling? Yep, he stood up, raised his arms to show a gun in his waistband..

Our state Democratic party would turn this state redder than a cardinal if they whiffed the idea of confiscation or something like the Australia solution. I haven't really seen this trend on a national level, but regardless of all of this there is no way confiscation should be considered. And it won't be. It's like I have said, over and over, we need to stop listening to the extreme ends ("ban all guns" AND "my cold dead hands") and let the adults talk about what to do.

And I don't care what anyone else thinks they "know". I worked in the projects. I was in their homes. I was there during the day, I was there during the night. I was accused of being a narc. I was threatened. I saw the worst of the worst. Places where the security guard asked why I was there (after he came running out of the safety of his office...lol) And I left not because of the people or the places but because I got moved to another location further away and when another opportunity came up closer to home I took it. So carry on with whatever fantasy you want. I'm no badass. Not in the slightest. But I didn't lead an "insulated life" either. Thanks. ![]() RE: Remember When Obama Took The Guns? - SunsetBengal - 03-02-2018 (03-02-2018, 10:00 PM)GMDino Wrote: Again, you have no idea. And I don't care what anyone else thinks they "know".

How anyone can take the crap you spew on this board seriously is beyond me. As to your last "point" you feel free to quote a post in which you caught me in a lie. In the meantime, kindly retreat to wherever you normally dwell and leave the discussion to the adults.

As to your last "point" you feel free to quote a post in which you caught me in a lie. In the meantime, kindly retreat to wherever you normally dwell and leave the discussion to the adults. It’s a lie every time you say “I didn’t say that”. (Where have we heard that one before?) When you cite a law that TEMPORARILY makes a person give up their weapons under very specific circumstances as an example of “them” coming after all our guns. I would think that someone who works in law enforcement would take such accusations more seriously. ESPECIALLY someone who allegedly yelled at a random stranger to get out of his town and never come back because he asked you what time it was. If your powers of observation are so keen perhaps others other are too and such a law is needed to protect innocent people. And the accused gets a hearing to prove their innocence too. That’s way t works. Sane people (the adults) know that no one is going to take all your guns away. You may not get to have EVERY type of gun you want (you don’t now). You may not get to pass on every gun that is currently legal (in one state) that society changes its mind on either. Times change. Perspective changes. We don’t prescribe cocaine for toothaches anymore because we learned more. We don’t sell Tommy guns anymore because times changed and they were used by more dangerous people than good people. Sorry that life isn’t perfect and you can’t do whatever you want whenever you want. But that does NOT mean that “they” are coming for you. That type of paranoia is dangerous. And that is why the "adults" need to ignore that and talk about real solutions.

(Where have we heard that one before?) Here's a very easy way to prove this, simply pull the quotes. I've challenged you to do this I don't know how many times, you've never done it. I suppose you must think the accusation alone is enough proof? Quote:When you cite a law that TEMPORARILY makes a person give up their weapons under very specific circumstances as an example of “them” coming after all our guns. Except that's not at all what I said, Fred. Oh wait sorry, your use of his time honored tactic of attacking an argument no one made confused me. You were simpering about how no one was attacking Trump for saying "take the guns first, due process second". I pointed out that Trump wasn't going to follow through on it so why worry about it. I then pointed out to Bmore, that "take guns first, due process second" already exists in some forms. What I said is 100% true and not at all the argument you attempted to claim it was above. Thank you, drive through. Quote:I would think that someone who works in law enforcement would take such accusations more seriously.

That’s way t works. Hahaha, I know you're getting desperate when you come crawling back to that instance. I said, and BTW Matt and many others have expressed agreement with me (yet you haven't attacked them, I wonder why?) is that confiscation of private property with no due process is a troubling precedent. Don't lecture me on domestic violence or its victims. I deal with more DV victims and perpetrators in a week then you will in a life time. Not liking a law's execution is not synonymous with disliking its intent. Understanding that would require a degree of intelligence that you apparently lack. Quote:You may not get to have EVERY type of gun you want (you don’t now). As is already the case. Quote:You may not get to pass on every gun that is currently legal (in one state) that society changes its mind on either. Oh, so my property will be confiscated. Yet your argument is that they aren't trying to take away your guns. Yet you literally just argued that this may precisely happen. Good lord, the contradictions. Quote:Times change. Perspective changes. We don’t prescribe cocaine for toothaches anymore because we learned more. We don’t sell Tommy guns anymore because times changed and they were used by more dangerous people than good people. Correction, we don't sell fully automatic weapons, with very rare exceptions. Those of us able to have this debate have already covered that topic extensively. Quote:Sorry that life isn’t perfect and you can’t do whatever you want whenever you want. Fred argument alert! Claiming person made argument they never made alert! ![]() Quote:But that does NOT mean that “they” are coming for you. LOL, "they" and "paranoia". You are literally incapable of addressing issues without trying to portray your opponent as abnormal in some way. I find your argument odd though, when you literally just admitted that it's very possible "they" will confiscate my personal property. You're so bad at this you can't keep you BS straight within the same post. Quote:And that is why the "adults" need to ignore that and talk about real solutions. So, you're not going to post in gun control threads anymore? Outstanding! RE: Remember When Obama Took The Guns? - GMDino - 03-05-2018 So I shared this in the mass shooter thread. The Florida legislature almost did something but then chickened out when their names were attached to it. Gun lovers cheered. http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-Mass-shootings?pid=522602#pid522602 But at least they had a moment of silence. So they have that going for them. Why they lack the stones to do anything is beyond me. So far they have tackled porn but not the ready accessibility of certain kinds of kinds used more often than not in attacks and not defense.

It was called "stop and frisk", instituted by then Mayor Rudi Guliani. From what I understand, it worked tremendously. Thousands upon thousands of weapons were taken from criminals that were not legally allowed to possess them. I also understand that violent crime went down during this period. Yet, the folks from your side screamed that it was wrong to stop and frisk known criminals. Y'all are all about government programs, until one of them actually works... Wow. If you really want to strip away the Constitutional rights of individuals then you would have loved the NYC stop and frisk policy. Unfortunately it was not really that effective. Crime rate went down EVERYWHERE during that period of time so it is kind of hard to give credit to eliminating the individual's protection against unreasonable search and seizure for the drop in crime.

The restraining orders we are discussing initially allow for none of that! Let me make this as simple as possible All it takes to arrest a person is a sworn statement from a victim. That is enough to take a away an individuals personal liberty until he gets in front of a judge. All it takes to get a restraining order is a sworn statement from a victim. That is enough to take away a persons rights to his property until he gets in front of a judge. Both of these situations give the absolute same protection of due process. All these claims about people being denied due process is nothing but fear mongering to play on the ignorance of the rubes who believe anything the NRA spoon feeds them. RE: Remember When Obama Took The Guns? - fredtoast - 03-05-2018 The fact that some people are in favor of complete gun confiscation has nothing to do with reasonable gun control regulations. That is like saying we can't have DUI laws because it is just a slippery slope that will let all the ultra conservative Christians completely out law alcoholic beverages. You can not be against reasonable laws like gun owner licensing and gun registration just because you oppose complete confiscation. They are two totally different issues. Again this whole "slippery slope" is just fear mongering from the NRA to play on the ignorance of their brainwashed followers. I will be the first to admit that there are some people who favor complete gun confiscation, but that has nothing to do with common sense laws like licensing requirements for gun owners and registration requirements for all guns. The reason I can say that is because I have a brain and am able to think for myself. I am strongly opposed to gun confiscation but strongly in favor of owner licensing and gun registration. I am not weakminded enough to allow special interst groups to brainwash me.

Quote:All it takes to get a restraining order is a sworn statement from a victim. That is enough to take away a persons rights to his property until he gets in front of a judge. Except, and huge difference here, a detained person has a right to see the judge for a detention hearing quickly. I can't speak for other states, but it's within 48 hours in CA (business hours btw). At the detention hearing a judge will hear arguments for release either OR, with bail or with electronic monitoring. You yourself admitted that an actual hearing on a temporary restraining order can take weeks. Quote:Both of these situations give the absolute same protection of due process. All these claims about people being denied due process is nothing but fear mongering to play on the ignorance of the rubes who believe anything the NRA spoon feeds them. No, they don't give equal protection. Making a false police report is a criminal act. Getting a temporary restraining order and then not following through with making it permanent is not. This is in addition to the extreme time difference before the accused is entitled to argue their side before a judge. I am not even remotely alone in having concerns with this lack of due process, not in the United States and not in this thread. You discount these concerns for whatever reason you choose, but to simply label them illegitimate is specious at best.

At the detention hearing a judge will hear arguments for release either OR, with bail or with electronic monitoring. You yourself admitted that an actual hearing on a temporary restraining order can take weeks. But paying bond or paying for electronic monitoring takes away a persons property (money). Here in TN a defendant is entitled to at least a preliminary hearing within 10 days, but if he does not have money to pay for a bond or electronic monitoring he could be in jail for months before he gets a complete trial on the charges. Orders of Protection are almost always set on the next weeks docket after they are served. And that is for a full hearing. There is no difference between the amount of due process a defendant in a criminal case gets and the subject of an order of protection gets. The big difference I see is that the standard of proof in a criminal case is "beyond a reasonable doubt" while it is just a "preponderance of the evidence". |
