Anti-Gun Lobbying Everywhere!! - WTF?!

[Stonewall]

So I was just doing my homework and minding my own business, when I came across the attached question. The damn anti-gunners are now infiltrating the education system too...



It might look like nothing, but it makes me wonder how many students saw this question and thought "Looks like most people favor tougher gun laws, that must be a good thing." What the hell is the world coming to??

High School? College?

I got news for ya buddy, Liberalism/Socialism/Progressivism has been infiltrating the school system for a very, very long time, and it starts in elementary school. Young minds are the easiest to mold to a certain way of thinking, particularly when you have control of them 6-8 hours a day. Throw in parents who are too "busy" to pay attention to what their kids are being taught. Show them cute little cartoon Disney movies with nice subtle messages about global warming, how guns are bad and kill cute little animals. Add in "Everybody Gets a Trophy" so there are no hurt feelings and you end up with a generation of adults who were never taught that in real life NOT everybody gets a trophy, NOT everybody is always successful (and never will be), NOT everybody is equal (and never will be), and NOBODY OWES anybody else anything, for any reason, and never will.

That question on your homework is just the tip of the iceberg my friend.

And, yes, you are correct. That question was set up that way on purpose.

A majority of gun owners like myself can look at it and see that gun owners oppose tougher gun laws and non-gun owners are in favor of tougher gun laws and say to ourselves "Well, duh! No sh!t!"

When I was in school we could head to school before or after hunting and leave our guns in the trunk of our car. I refinished the stock of one of my shotguns in wood shop. You'll probably never see that these days. They used to have a gun range at the U of M here in Minnesota but not anymore. One of my Dads shooting buddies (RIP Sandy) was in WWII. After the war he would go shoot at the U of M. He rode the bus there with the gun slung over his shoulder, without a case, and carrying a military ammo can full of ammo.

What's this world coming to?
A world full of selfish, whiny, pussified b!tches with no backbone, and no work ethic that think everybody owes them something.

It's sad to see what this once great country has become, isn't it?

It's college, and at Texas A&M no less. (Which is wayyyyy more liberal than I ever expected.)

I was homeschooled in a house with a gun in every corner, and everyone in the house - all the way down to my 8 year old sister - knows proper safety and handling and how to use them. I never had the anti gun bias in my education, my grade school curriculum came from Pensacola Christian College, and was politically neutral.

I've always been against the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality too. Thats pure and simple communism if you think about it. Absolutely no incentive to do better.

It's plumb scary to look around me and see the people that will, in the next 3-4 years, be the driving force in this country. Folks with common sense are few and far between...

The education system has been controlled by liberals, socialists and communists since about the time the first teachers union was formed and child molesters began to hide behind them. Teach your kids what they need to know about life at home and let the schools teach them math and spelling.

PS. My wife has a masters in education, so yes, I know there are good ones out there, but most are the silent minority.

It is even starting to get here up in Northern Minnesota where even the kids are conservative. A few weeks ago a kid had to turn his shirt inside out because it was a Winchester shirt, the teacher emailed all the teachers and said that he had told the kid to do it, (which he listened). My dad (who is a teacher) emailed back and said that no where in the hand book did it say that it was against the rules to wear a gun related shirt. And even some of the other teachers agreed. But my point is that its stupid that the teacher just automatically thought it was bad and he couldn't wear it. Then a few years ago a kid got in trouble for paging through a firearm magazine. He had to put it away and the student started paging through it in my fathers class and my dad came up to him and started paging through it with the student and was saying which firearm he liked the best in the magazine.

I've read several news articles lately where a student was suspended or received detention for wearing firearms related shirts. Just wait till my daughter starts school, daddy is going to have all kinds of nice shirts for her.
There are way to many paranoid, uptight pu$$ies these days. There is a local cop that gives me sh!t for my gun stickers on my truck, and wonders why people need to be carrying guns.

What a difference 30 years make....I had friends who would have Guns and Ammo,Soldiers of Fortune, or some knife mag always open in Spanish class. The teacher never even commented on what they were reading, just to wait til study hall please.

Today a student reading that in school would probably be expelled and the parents would get a visit by the local sheriff.

Frightening how a useful tool that can feed and protect your loved ones is considered bad by many Americans. The same Americans who could little to help themselves in an emergency or natural disaster...

That's what the progressives want. They want citizens dependent on them for everything because they know what's best for you

The cops in New Orleans confiscated as many guns as they could from residents after Katrina, removing the ability for them to protect themselves from looters and thugs. Nevermind the fact that they didn't have enough cops to protect everyone, especially after a bunch of cops stopped showing up for their jobs. That and, well, they caught cops participating in the looting.

Tell him you carry a gun because you can't carry a cop on your hip.

Ask him when the last time was that he stopped an in progress assault, burglary, robbery, or domestic where someone life was in danger.
I have a couple of buddies who are cops and they encourage learning how to handle a handgun and conceal carry. One of them even said to me "Most of the time we're the clean up crew. Make a report, talk to witnesses, etc. We can't always be there in time to protect people."

"When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away"

ETA: The above statement IS NOT a bash on cops.

Actually Scooter, that's one of my stickers he doesn't care for. It says "I carry a gun because a cop is to heavy". He is kind of an anti gunner, he says there's no reason that people need to be armed. My response to him one time was that I don't see why I had to pay out $205 between the class and paperwork to get my concealed carry permit. That should be covered under the second amendment. Then he wants to tell me where I can and cannot carry a gun, I referred him to a few different places to brush up on his knowledge. He is a good guy but we just don't see eye to eye on the gun laws.

They'll eventually run the 300/year life memberships again. When they do I'll post it up again and sponsor people here who want to take advantage of that great deal.

Here is something that was posted on a different forum. The posters son was given a workbook in middle school with this is in it. He knew it was wrong and showed his father. This was in a Chicago school.

What has me on edge is the fact that history tells us exactly where we are headed if we don't change course and fast.

Scarier than that is the fact that many, dare I say the majority in the this country really thinks "it can't happen here"....

We don't have to look too far back in history to find glaring examples of the shredding of the constitution and the trampling if the rights of individuals without due process... Japanese/German internment????

See you all in the FEMA camps my like-minded friends. HIEL!

Its crazy what some teachers will try and sneak into the children's learning. lol On the other side of the fence (not that I am complaining, I just think now, looking back, it was a little weird is all) I remember having a teacher in like 3rd grade, I forget if it was math, reading...I know it wasn't music though, anyhow this guy was teaching us songs like the Battle Hymn of the republic and stuff like that... all these war songs and stuff, for no reason!! lol Anyhow, I am seeing this thing come up a lot lately, they really are pushing to get people turned off to guns.. They need to just let the people decide if they want one or not! if kid grows up not wanting to own a gun, what ever... if he / she does? same thing, what ever... its not up to the gov. or to one party or not.
