guns

You see nothing wrong with school intruding on the child's and his/her family's privacy by forcing them to divulge this information to who knows who?

Ever heard of an 'ol boy by the name of Hitler?

OOPS!......never mind. I forgot you voted for Obama.

The first line of the questionaire clearly states that it is not required to provide a name.

I did not see any emotionally charged, biased, anti-gun language in the questionare. It seemed pretty straightforward to me. Plus its in Texas. I would be a lot more worried if it were a school in San Francisco or Chicago or some other uber-liberal hellhole.

High School Kids Made to Fill Out Survey on Gun Ownership and Political Views

Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, Texas:

Over my dead body. I hope no one filled that out. And texas of all places....

Over my dead body. I hope no one filled that out. And texas of all places....

Those are questions the school has absolutely no right to know the answers to. That is probably a suburb of Austin which is a liberal hotspot inside Texas.

When all else fails, resort to name calling.

Then you won't mind telling BrownCafe the extent of your weapons inventory. OH, I see......you don't want to do that.

There are a number of other things they could have asked:
-what did you do during summer break?;
-what are your plans after high school?;
-how many of your relatives served in the military?;

.....and you truly don't think a teacher can discern each students handwriting?

Let me condense this.......it's none of their GD business.

Understand?

This was a questionnaire handed out by journalism students to other students for an article they were writing for the school paper about gun rights and gun violence. It was not something the school or school district handed out, and was done without the administrators knowledge.

Understand?

I clicked on the link and didn't see your contention anywhere in the text.

Did you bother to read the link? if you did you would have read opinions not unlike mine.

Baba's link? That was your mistake. Find out the story behind the story. Don't accept everything at face value. Examine the source.

So, just trolling?

You should be filling sandbags instead of fishing.

Thank you for the advice , but my bunker already has enough sandbags .
And I took the boat out of the water on Monday for repairs .
Now if this wind ever stops , I'll be able to launch the boat & continue with my pleasure .

So weapons of the late 18th Century are all that apply to the 2nd Amendment?

That's what you are implying.

Guess the first amendment only applied to quills and parchment paper....outlaw the internet NOW!

You would have to ascribe to baba gounj's line of reasoning to make that leap.

 

[Babagounj]

If some demand that one Amendment is out dated by today's standards then that opens up the possibility that all the Amendments are out dated and should be removed .

That is a textbook definition of a non sequitur.

Without gov't, who would commission the instruments of war from which we get mass production of guns in the first place?

Without gov't, who would commission Eugene Stoner and Armalite to develop the AR-10 that would become the AR-15 to the M-16 and eventually into the civilian version AR-15?

Without gov't, how would there be a weapon to act and become the lynch pin to launch the small arms so-called "assault weapons" market that began to explode and grow in the late 70's, early 80's as the Red Scare morphed into the Red Dawn Scare which exploded even more in the 90's and onward?

Without gov't, who would commission the design of Christopher Spencer's lever action to be used in firearms for the purpose of warfare and the domination on one group of people over another?

Without gov't who would commission the first pistols called hand canons during the Hussite Wars, interesting enough a war fought to assert Roman Catholic Church authority, and thus begin the emergence of what today we call hand guns?

Without gov't, how would we either have or even have at a smaller scale companies like Colt, Smith and Wesson or for that matter Glock or Beretta?

Why would you give the authority to an institution for the purpose to administer and regulate gun control when it was this same institution and it's inhuman actions that created the very problem in the first place?

As the old sayin' goes, "who would build the roads" to which I would respond "who would mass produce the guns" or "who would even commission the gun in the first place?"

When are we going to realize that the bulk of the problems we face don't start with us except when we falsely place our loyalties, faith and future into an institution that has long outlived it's purpose and it's past time as humanity we begin to evolve away from it.

Maybe the root cause is for us to look within ourselves and ask why we seem to have the need to so want to dominate others and where does that come from and is it natural or contrived?

@wkmac, without gov't how could you even post on the internet?

Oh, I'm pretty sure that's natural. That should tell you where it came from.
