Please tell me how in any way shape or form, kids with machine guns demonstrate the "Spirit of Christmas"?

Is it because Mom has one too?

Important Post & this really is sooo fucked up!!! Nothing to do there but curse and I don't care if any kids (mine too!) see this because sometimes it's allowed! Thanks for posting though, lol & 'sick' is the right word, whilst 'sad' is another :(

I don't want to hear another word from FLAKESnews, or any other fucked up conse(R)vative, about the war on Christmas.

They just shot the Baby Jesus.

Its interesting to see how this video set aside rational thinking comments and brought out emotional thinking comments.

Just goes to show how easy it is to control people

Those who look at this video from a rational perspective understand what the intent was as was explained and comment accordingly.

Those who look at this video from a emotional perspective don't understand what the intent was as explained and comment accordingly.

BTW, have you noticed that all the people in the pictures are part of the "X,Y and melineum generation.

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Really?

Just what is the "rational intent" of 5 year old's handling uzis, with Santa??

Have yourself a destructive little Christmas?

BTW: What kind of gun would Jesus shoot people with?

I mean c'mon, it's not like an uzi is useful for anything but killing people.

[-] 1 points by SteveKJR1 (8) 11 years ago

Well if you look close at the video the 5 year old didn't have the uzi in his hand - his father was holding it. The 5 year old if you look at the start of the video had something else in his hand.

So to prove my point - what you see and want to believe is driven by your emotion instead of what was actually shown.

Right off the bat, just because a kid is sitting on a fathers lap with the father holding the uzis next to him presents a vision that the 5 year old is holding the gun so everyones emotions explode when in fact that's not the case.

& the government purchased 450 million rounds of HP's last year...hmmm makes you think where this is heading...

[-] 1 points by jbgramps (159) 11 years ago

I’m so tired of people spinning this story to fit their agenda. The government didn’t buy 450 million rounds. They signed a contract to purchase up to 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammo at a fixed price over a period of years. They did not commit to buying the entire 450 million rounds. The point was to lock in the price for a period of years. The .40 round is replacing the 9MM among law enforcement and the price is increasing due to demand. Also, if memory serves correctly, the bulk of this ammo is target ammo, which is much cheaper than self defense ammo. You’ll probably fire 100,000 of target about ammo for every round fired in the line of duty.

I did not mean to offend. The right to bear arms, like the right to vote, the right of free speech, etc come with a responsibility - the responsibility to use them wisely, and safely. The take away the right to bear arms, while not a bad idea to some, it still taking away a right, like denying women the right to vote. Again, sorry to offend

[-] 0 points by jbgramps (159) 11 years ago

I completely agree. Depending on who’s numbers you believe, there are between 220 and 300 million privately owned guns in America today. There are an estimated 85 million gun owners in the US. Earlier this year two major gun manufactures (S&W and Ruger) had a million order backlog each and suspended new orders to catch up. The best selling gun right now is small, almost pocket size 9MM pistol; followed by the AR-15 and similar semi-auto rifles.

Last year, 2011, was a banner year for gun sales and 2012 is looking to outpace it. Guns are selling like hot cakes. Also, gun laws are trending toward more gun rights rather than more gun restrictions. Almost every State has some type of conceal carry license and some have legal open carry. Good or bad, Americans love their guns.

Gun owners are paranoid about the “gun grabbers” coming to confiscate their weapons. That’s partly why every time a mass shooting occurs they rush out and buy more guns. Just in case the feds outlaw some guns they will be grandfathered in with their current guns.

Personally I’m not worried about the feds confiscating guns. Too many guns and too many gun owners. Just couldn’t be done. However, I am worried the gun grabbers will nickel and dime us to death. They’ll try to outlaw semi-auto rifles (AR’s. AK’s and the like), then reduce magazine capacity, outlaw some types and caliber of ammo (.45, .50 and 10MM caliber and hollow-point ammo). Then require unnecessary features such as manual safeties, staging triggers, magazine removal disconnects, etc

So, as I said before, for good or bad Americans love their guns. It doesn’t much matter if you or I like it or not. Probably not going to change anytime soon. Think about it, if everyone else has a gun, would you want to be the only one without the ability to defend yourself?

I’m a law abiding citizen. Never been arrested and have no mental issues that would make it dangerous for me to own guns. So what’s wrong with me owning any gun I want for sport, hunting and self defense?

If it were up to me there wouldn’t be any gun laws except felons and diagnosed mentally unbalanced people couldn’t own guns. I just don’t see the point in regulating guns or gun ownership beyond what I stated above.

If the guns are not locked up and the children have access to them, then it is the height of stupidity. If the the guns are locked up, and everyone has had a course on proper handling, then it is a simple expression of the 2nd amendment.

First lesson - common sense; people bleed, people die, bad things happen. Second lesson, guns kill, you pull the trigger, a bullet will come out and kill anyone you point it at.
Once they understand the difference between reality and fiction, then teach them proper use. Then still keep them locked up

I'm not asking you to give up the 2nd amendment. I'm asking you to grow a heart and a brain.

No more two year old's shooting two year old's..........EVER!!

Make it impossible.

I want you to bozo proof guns.

No more ooops, I didn't know the gun was loaded moments.

No more, I could have sworn I put that thing away, mornings.

I suppose the assholes that think they heard a "stranger" outside and it "might" have been a bad guy, will still end up with the occasional dead son. ( That actually happened, and he was a cop who should have known better. So much for training.)

So be it!

That's just another "cost" of freedom.

But PLEASE Save the child.

If you still don't understand, please consider selling whatever guns you own.

[-] 0 points by jbgramps (159) 11 years ago

I agree with you. Keep guns out of reach of kids, keep them locked up, use a trigger lock and always explain not to touch. Take your pick. They all work. For me, I remove the magazine and keep it separate for the gun. My kids are grown and were raised in a home with lots of guns around. They were taught early that guns aren’t toys. The point is it’s so easy to prevent kids from getting a loaded weapon. I think most gun owners are responsible and keep their guns safe.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Sorry gramps, that doesn't save the lives of the children.

It's the same answer the other gun nutters give.

It's the very same BS about throw daddy in jail, which still leaves the rest of the family fucked right up, and the children still very much dead..

Bozo's will still leave the occasional loaded gun lying around.

I'm not asking you to point out "responsibility."

Bozo proof it, at least for the children.

I don't think you can do it, even though the technology is available.

[-] 0 points by jbgramps (159) 11 years ago

I guess I’m not clear what you mean by bozo proof. Most guns today have some type safety, like manual safeties, grip safeties or two stage triggers; and as of recent some guns have very heavy long trigger pulls that some adults can’t pull. So if keeping your guns unloaded, using trigger locks, etc.. don’t please you; and safety features on guns don’t please you I’m at a loss about what you want. It kind of sounds like you just don’t want people to own guns. Is that closer to the truth?

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

Don't put words in my mouth. I've already stated you can keep the second amendment.

I just want you to use your heart and brain to save the lives of innocent children.

Scroll up and read some of the examples I've provided.

2 year old's shooting other 2 year old's must stop.

No excuses. Retro fit for all guns. Whatever.

No more dead children shot by other children.

If it costs money so be it.

Make the compromise.

Just do it....................If you can find it in your heart.

[-] 0 points by jbgramps (159) 11 years ago

If your inferring that gun owners are unfeeling about accidental gun shootings, you’re seriously mistaken. Anyone in their right mind would be saddened by a child being accidental hurt or killed, regardless of the cause. I don’t have the numbers, but I’ve read that accidental shooting are minuscule compared to car accidents, drowning, child abuse and so on. Accidental shootings, for anyone, is rare.

So if you thinking of ways to increase child safety I suggest to put your energy into preventing child abuse rather than getting worked up about bozo proof guns. The vast majority of guns are safe; and most gun owners are very good at keeping their guns safe.

It seems to me you are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Accidental shooting are rare. Those resulting in death are even rarer. To expect gun manufactures and gun owners to retrofit all guns to some (yet unknown) bozo proof gun is just crazy. I can appreciate your passion for wanting to stop kids from getting hurt. But bozo proof guns won’t make a difference.

[-] -1 points by jbgramps (159) 11 years ago

You are simply wrong. Accidental shootings by any age group is very low. Suicides by gun account for more than accidental shootings. You cherry pick five cases of accidental shootings and present them to make your case. I did a few quick searches of the causes of child death. The main cause by a wide margin is illness and disease, auto accidents are also high. Accidental shootings of children are not even on the list.

The latest statistics I found was for 1999. I’m sure they’re more recent figures, but these figures make my point that accidental shooting of children is very rare . • In 1999, 3,385 children and youth ages 0-19 years were killed with a gun. This includes homicides, suicides, and unintentional injuries.

• This is equivalent to about 9 deaths per day, a figure commonly used by journalists . • The 3,385 firearms-related deaths for age group 0-19 years breaks down to: o 214 unintentional o 1,078 suicides o 1,990 homicides o 83 for which the intent could not be determined o 20 due to legal intervention • Of the total firearms-related deaths: o 73 were of children under five years old o 416 were children 5-14 years old o 2,896 were 15-19 years old

So, my friend, while I think it admiral you care about kids. (I also do. I have five children and three grandchildren). I think you’re on the wrong track. It’s kinda like screaming the sky is falling, when in reality it is not. If you want to save kids tell folks to monitor their kids better when around a swimming pool.

There is no doubt that in the near future we will have to guard ourselves and our homes from those who decry both Christian celebration and our seasonal consumerism. We know we're going to have to fight to retain our heritage, our beliefs, and our way of life.

I can recall at least five Christmases, or more, that involved firearms. And our Thanksgivings have always been an armed holiday.

In colonial times it was often stated that the cow was the greatest investment that one could make. Because the cow would provide milk for ten years. The same is true of a rifle or shotgun and they are but a fraction of the price of but one tank of fuel oil. In the world I grew up in, firearms were integral to life. Children were taught to use firearms at a very early age. Nobody got shot and no one was ever murdered.

Fuel oil is getting expensive? Really? Gasoline 2 I suppose. Hmmm how does something like that happen???

What a friken mystery??? You don't think it could have anything to do with UN-regulated speculation? Or processing cost rising due to processing tar sands(?) - you know the dregs on the bottom of the barrel that is running dry ( fossil fuel deposits to be extracted ).

Well then - YOU - should be all for driving down the demand for the disappearing resource. Let a glut build up on processed oil - let those prices drop from an excess on the market.

We gotta stop using fossil fuels anyway.

Support the implementation of green fuel and power technology - lets drop those oil prices and needs.

[-] -2 points by RedDragon (-161) 11 years ago

At the present time there is a glut, or should be, precisely because no one is using it.

I blame all of this on Leftist bullshit and Obama. We fight wars for this resource - people die for this resource - it should be extremely inexpensive. If a government can fight a war with our resources for this resource, then it can ensure that oil is affordable for our purchase. And somehow reducing all to ancient primitivism is not at all appealing.

Ten cords... I'm felling trees as we speak. And so is everybody else.

[-] 2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

Puzzling.

[-] 0 points by RedDragon (-161) 11 years ago

Well for one thing the ruling in Citizens United was 100% correct as relates to freedom of speach; do we need further regulation? Yes. But if you have questions about what a corporation is, I would you suggest you start with the LLC, which is a company and not a corporation. You can wiki it and it will explain in what ways they are treated as persons. This of course is totally unrelated to Citizens, which concludes that all are an association of people, but it also lends credence to the personhood argument which I am quite convinced must circulate in the mind of every attorney who interprets such law.

I am 100% definitely suggesting that if this government is to commit our tax dollars and our lives to securing this resource - oil - that is has a responsibility to the people, and not just big oil, to ensure that it is available to the people. This administration is letting those people both starve and freeze as a result of higher fuel prices. How many suffered heart attacks last year just chopping wood?

I think it would be easier to argue that the Left does not constitute personhood.

I think its cool. Guns should be a part of american freedom, instead we have been dumbed down to think its the police job to protect us. For example, in the batman shooting where 70 people got shot, How many people do you think would have gotten shot (or killed) if the people didnt have to wait 9-11 minutes for the police to show up and try to figure out what was going on? I.E. if everyone had their sidearm sitting in their seat, they would have been able to take care of the maniac wi\thin seconds.

The fact is Americans in general are becoming dumber and dumber and I believe I am becoming smarter than you people on several points.

I have never owned a gun, or hunted, but I respect the right of people to do so. In fact, two of my three daughters own guns...one because she is a public defender, and the other because she has lived in a fairly remote Alaskan town. The problems begin with bad people having easy access to guns.

[-] 0 points by freewriterguy (882) 11 years ago

well when bad people have easy access to guns, then they are at an advantage over good people. who dont even carry one. however, if they did have one, and tried to use it against us, is there not more of us than there is them? deterrance is a strong force, its what our nation uses to discourage other nations from sending nuclear bombs over to us. Here in utah, a 17 year old kid got shot outside a sliding glass door trying to break in at 4am, , ran a few feet and dropped dead. Justice was swift. the homeowner was within his right said the law, as he defended himself. Not too many breakins you hear of anymore, but alot of people getting shot and killed by homeowners. I love it. Saves me money too, a bullet is only 20 cents. but a trial and jail costs hundreds of thousands, which i refuse to pay for even 1 cent.

No. Those who label themselves as true economic conservatives,

But outside of party labels I prefer to look at the particular policies,

I support the progressive policies of:protecting earned benefits of SS, Medicare, medicaid, ACA, Stronger regulations (fin/environ) Raising taxes on the wealthy, cutting taxes on working class, unions, cutting defense spending, investing in greentech jobs, infrastructure jobs, And others. (I support pols who agree with these policies even if they are Repubs)

I do not support conservative policies: trickle down economics, weak regulations, fossil fuel subsidies, privatizing/voucherizing SS, Medicare, education, increased defense spending, destroying the safety net. ( I am against pols who support these policies even if they are Dems)

I hope that is clear. Do you agree?

[-] 1 points by ivyquinn (167) 11 years ago

I agree with some of your statement.

I do believe that SS is nothing more than a ploy to tax the middle class. So I don't agree with that

. I believe in universal healthcare, not Obamneycare. Some regulations are good, some are just there to further our debt. (*ie: earmarks that contain buffs for the elite) I agree the military industrial Complex must be ended. I believe in equal taxing. I do think green jobs would bring a new prosperity to the job market. I hate fossil fuel. I have been protesting that dirty market for years by not driving, or taking hydrogen fueled taxis. However I do believe that people must be given a choice. Every state has a right to govern themselves.

[-] 2 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

So you like the true conservatives who do not seem to really exist. I like the sound of them too (except the "conservation of nat spending", that sounds like the real conservaitives) Does local job creation exclude national job creation?

Of course not. We need to sprout these economic fires everywhere.

What I meant by national spending is the GDP budget being focused on the military industrial complex and invasion. Rather than improving our nation.

I think that progress needs to be made across the board. Not just through leftist ideals, not just thought right ideals--but a system built by the citizens & for the citizens.

There are true conservatives that are on the front lines of OWS who are fighting for economic equilibrium. In which means shifting the focus from Neo-Con regulations and corruption in our economy. As well as giving power of our economy back to the people and decentralizing the mega banking system.

[-] 2 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

I do think that the conservatives fighting for economic freedom; have their economic eyes open, but place human rights on the back burner. As far as progressives go conservatives will never be on board with them fully. There will always be a wedge issue that divides. But such is true across the board.

But back your question: Yes there are those on the same side that fight against each other, due to paradigm politics. We must weigh through ALL propoganda and take our system back.

[-] 1 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

Well perhaps whatever vote verifying mechanism you envision for your new citizen run governing councils can be applied to out existing system.

Well the unfortunate issue with voter fraud is bringing it to light in our current system automatically means you will be discredited. I believe that if we implemented a one paper ballot-per vote & rid ourselves of electronic voter machines, we could save our system. But that's idolic at best. The ones in power would find a way to quash that idea, like they did with 3rd party votes and delegates in the 2012 election.

We would be implementing this idea without tax payer money. All contributions and monetary overhead would be on the collectivists. Which isn't a bad idea at all if we control the flow of the economy.

The new accounts would be for personal use only and bankers would be compensated for their work/services on the council solely.

you can definitely help. The first step wouldn't actually be ending the SS, because unfortunately the SS is sustaining life for those in need. We would need to build a community of citizens willing to take up alternative currencies, as well as create citizen run councils that govern economic institutions.

We can implement a citizen run, outside of the reigns of paradmatic economy, retirement program that will cover everyday life. The current programs like the 401K are wrapped up in markets. We need to sepreate retirement plans, and pensions, from wall st today!!

[-] 1 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

Every state must submit to the peoples Fed govt. We settled that 150 years ago.

SS is the best program to keep the elderly from dying in destitution (as they did before SS)

I support removing the payroll cap on contributions so that the high paid pay as well as the middle class, I support adding a small tax on non payroll income (cap gains, royalties, carried interest, rental over 100k) I support means testing the benefit as well.

This would allow a decrease of the tax on the middle class. As you mentioned you support.

The ACA WILL be improved as the states begin to implement a public option which the bill allows through flexible waiver functionality. This will require we the people agitating all state pols to do just that.

Whatta ya think? Can we agree?

[-] 0 points by ivyquinn (167) 11 years ago

I don't believe a FED government has a place in our society. We need a citizen represented government. As I have said equal taxes or no taxes. SS would become obsolete if we had a currency that was decentralized and a market that is stable. SS is a bubble we as a generation won't see a dime of.

[-] 0 points by ivyquinn (167) 11 years ago

I think that the FEDs have way overstepped in their reach for power. I believe that we can form a more perfect union--that is a an embodiment of citizen rule by vote. Our current system is nothing more than tyranny.

How about that lean to the right you always try to attach to me? I get most of my readers from facebook and twitter, but I do write on matters of poverty and that is 100% applicable to this movement. So please, feel free to continue trying to attach "Other" to my blog about poverty and economics.

Your rambling Fluffy.

Be careful your comments could be removed at any moment.

And don't worry I think we also "don't give a damn" about you. (although I can't really speak for anyone but myself of course).

Finally what exactly is "the next level" for our subject matter?

Hope that wasn't repetitive. Fluffy!

No No you used fluff incorrectly against me 1st, & I told you fair & square you would be henceforth called fluffy as your punishment for that inaccurate offense.

And you never objected.

So.... Don't pretend like you didn't know

Racism preceded the dems so no they didn't start it. Racists started it.

And racists continue it today. And since Nixons "Southern Strategy" they racists have been courted by & comfortable in your republican party.

Regardless of what happened a century & a half ago, today the racists live in the repub party.

[-] -1 points by freakzilla (-161) from Detroit, MI 11 years ago

The Dems started it. Republicans were often attacked by the Klan after it was founded. The first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention and no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship to former slaves.

Learn some history. Read a book. Accept that your Democratic party made some mistakes.

That guy in the sheet, third from the left, he's a Dem. That other guy in the sheet's a Libertarian. The two guys on the right (they are both wearing sheets), they are politically agnostic, but they flirted with Communism when they were in college.

Trust me. I can spot a person's political party membership just by looking at them.

Robert Byrd is a great example of Dem Party hypocrisy.

Anyone who thinks the rich elites in both these parties arent horribly racist needs to rethink things.

But there is no doubt that you will hear more racist comments come out of people who are registered Republicans than Democrats.

[-] 1 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

Byrd is long dead and renounced the kkk decades ago. Just as the party of racists has moved from dems to repubs almost 50 years ago.

All repubs are NOT racists but all racists ARE repubs, no?

[-] 0 points by freakzilla (-161) from Detroit, MI 11 years ago

No. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard anyone say. Is Anders Behring Breivik a Republican? Stop saying that if you don't want people to think you are an idiot

[-] 2 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

Breivick was not American but like our American Repub party he was right wing, anti muslim. and anti feminism, So If he were American he would have fit in fine with our racist repub party.

"Breivik described his far-right[11] militant ideology in a compendium of texts entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, which he distributed electronically on the day of the attacks.[11][12][13][14] In it he lays out his worldview, which includes Islamophobia, support of Zionism[11] and opposition to feminism."

Ok? you got any one else up robe?

[-] 0 points by freakzilla (-161) from Detroit, MI 11 years ago

You need to modify your declaration then. How about :

"All Repubs are NOT racists but all racists ARE like our American Repub party because they are right wing, anti Muslim. and anti feminism and if they were Americans they would fit in fine with our racist Repub party"

not as snappy I admit, but it makes you seem a lot less ignorant.

[-] 1 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

Or I can just say whatever the fuck I want about American racists, and swat down your ignorant, meaningless, distractions as easily as I did this one.

Snappy enough for you freak?

[-] 1 points by freakzilla (-161) from Detroit, MI 11 years ago

I also didn't think you could say anything else about racism except that it's bad, but ask shooz about Mia Love and Stacey Dash and you'll be surprised just like I was.

No thanks. i trust Shooz well enough.

[-] 0 points by VQkag2 (16478) 11 years ago

I have no problem with either comment. Certainly I don't consider it racist and obviously neither VP Biden or Prof West are racists.

I would agree with Prof West that Pres Obama is not progressive enough, and that like any progressive Pres in the past, Pres Obama needs someone pushing him to implement progressive solutions.

Prof West is trying, just as OWS is trying to.

[-] 0 points by freakzilla (-161) from Detroit, MI 11 years ago

I goofed up and forgot your situational ethics when it comes to racism. Should have asked what you would think about someone who said it, THEN told you they were Democrats after you went on about how racist they were.

Stop babbling!

Racism is bad. What else is there to say about it?

So how do you feel about the "Rockefeller Republican in blackface" comment that was made about Obama recently? Or Obama being referred to as a "homeboy"?

Wise decision.

They do however, like us, have right wing nut jobs like Breivik.

[-] 0 points by freakzilla (-161) from Detroit, MI 11 years ago

Hmmm. The don't have Republicans over there. Or in Asia or the Middle East or Africa or other places where racism can be easily found. So I guess "all racists ARE repubs" would in fact be an incorrect statement then, wouldn't it?

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

You missed the part about right wing nut jobs.

Now why would you do that?

Certain members and former members of the (R)epelican't party have gone on record, to point out that YES, many in the GOP are racists, and sponsor racist legislation. One of them in Florida, made the statement to a Grand Jury.....under penalty of perjury, if he were to lie.

[-] 0 points by freakzilla (-161) from Detroit, MI 11 years ago

You missed the point I was making about that not being a true statement. Now why would you do that? Oh, now I remember why.

Were the people who set that girl on fire for wearing an Obama shirt Republicans?

There are racists in both parties. Everyone knows this. Everyone. You citing court testimony to prove this is funny on sooooo many levels.
