There are powerful families that want to eliminate liberalism. They want to create states where the people are little more than capital and dependent on the state. While still maintaining the illusion of democracy and liberty.

Removing firearms from the general populace is something they need to do. Along with mass importation of third worlders to destroy ethnic, religious, and national identity.

>>30099373
Ausfag here.

Back when the big gun grab happened back in '96 my old man was a keen comptetion shooter. Had sponsers and the lot. He shot in the military rifle competitions we had and did pretty well.

The whole ban obvoiusly fucking outraged him and we went on protests amongst other things. I remember marching with him in a massive protest in Brisbane. (Which the media failed to cover entirely or only showed photos from before it started and after it finished to downplay the numbers).

He went on one laege radio show to do an interview. Being niave in media pr at the time he didnt record the interview himself.

The fuckers manipulated and edited the whole thing to make him come off as a moronic nutjob. Like mid sentance cuts and inserts from other parts of the interview, changing questions asked etc. The fuckers really did a number on it.
So this does not suprise me at all.
Never trust these fuckers if you talk to them. Never give them the benefit of the doubt and record the whole exchange. Getting proper media training helps as well so you can make sure your answers are harder to deceptively edit.
>>
Reminds me of that time a man showed up at a black lives matter protest, WITH A GUN! Right after the incident in fergison.

The media only showed a zoomed, cropped picture of the mans gun. Completely failing to show it was a black man that had it.

Wish I had the picture.

If you're in the states, it likely has to do with risk aversion. For some reason, our middle class urbanites have a tendency to react negatively to any behavior that might cause negative outcomes, even if you must curtail personal choice to do so.

This is the same country that believed one solution to the obesity epidemic was to make large soft drinks an illegal substance. Give it time, anon. When we begin curing more genetic diseases and common accidental deaths become the leading cause of death, I have no doubt we will begin to see a push for prohibition of private swimming pools, cars that go faster than the speed limit, and even hard liquor again.

Criminal firearms violations are rarely prosecuted because to have a police state you need police. And to justify having police, there has to be a thriving criminal element. To have a thriving criminal element, you need to find something people want and make that thing illegal, which in turn creates a thriving black market. Certainly you'll arrest lawbreakers, but by and large you'll go easy on career criminals because you need them to supply the reason for a police state. The people you come down the most are the generally law abiding who have broken minor laws.

This is because the career criminals are not a threat to the status quo. They are part of the status quo. But the generally law abiding who realize the arbitrary nature of the law are a threat to the status quo and must be dealt with harshly to serve as an example to others would challenge the system.

The people that eat the propaganda in the first place are not listening to the media that discredits the propaganda.

Nobody watching an HBO antigun propaganda piece and sitting there eating it up is going to switch over to fox or turn on patriot radio, they are going to get on facebook or watch MSNBC and sit in their echo chamber talking about how great that "documentary" was that exposed the AR15 for the evil babykiller it is.


If any of these people accidentally come into contact with any media or people that disagree with their worldview they will brush it off

Actually I want the safety nets that kept my mom, brother, and I off the streets when my dad died when I was 4 to be in place for future people that might need it.

All the Republicans that run for office here are tea party batshits who want to dismantle the very thing that kept me from having to live in a car and eat trash until my mom was making enough money to buy a house and keep food in the fridge.

I literally came from nothing and worked my way up to being part-owner in a successful restaurant but I'll give credit to the government for keeping my ass off the street when I was younger so I didn't end up smoking meth and holding up 7/11's like some of the other poor kids I went to school with are doing now.

They broadcast to a liberal echo chamber. Nobody even hears that shit but the opposition. It's the same with the conservative retards who still think Obummer was born in Kenya and worked as a gay prostitute. Of course that shit is wrong. But it doesn't matter because they never hear the proof on Fox news.

Thanks to our fucked up media, the two political factions in this country are drifting farther away from each other every day. We're already to the point that our government is basically nonfunctional. Eventually we'll either crumble into dust or outright Balkanize. Personally, I'm hoping for the latter. Maybe Hillary as president will be the impetus for that.

The correct answer is a question

Why are we letting people too dangerous to buy a gun back on the streets?


either these people have paid their debt to society or you let them out because of your bleeding heart and now you admit they are too dangerous for society.

All ex felons should regain their rights when their debt to society has been paid, if you think that a felon is too dangerous to own a gun then he should not be let out of prison in the first place.

I can see both sides. Sometimes, welfare and the like help people who legitimately need it. Most of the time, it ends up as bait for illegal aliens or permanent income for useless niggers.

I'm not opposed to the government using my money to help people, but it needs to be there to HELP people. Not support them. Want free college? No problem. First, you're going to keep a GPA of 3 or higher. Secondly, you're going to major in something we need you to major in. Women's Studies? Ah, no. Electrical Engineering or fuck off. Want to be a career student? Get another sugar daddy. Want government housing/EBT/welfare? No problem. You're working 40 hours a week. Can't find a job? We'll find you one, no problem. We'll have you down in the city parks painting everything that stands still. Don't like that? Well, Lowe's has refrigerator boxes out back and there's overpasses everywhere. Get fucked.

Of course, the first time you demand that niggers actually work for a change they all scream racism and that's that.

>I'm not opposed to the government using my money to help people,


The problem I have with this IS the government.

Lets say you have a poor neighbor down the street, lets call him ted.

And you have an asshole on the block , we will call him chuck.


Ted is currently going through some rough times and can't afford to pay the rent and feed and clothe his family.

Would you rather petition your neighbors to pitch in to aid ted with food and clothing donations..

Or should you make a pact with Chuck where he holds you at gunpoint, demands a substantial portion of your income or he will kill you if you resist, then he takes said money and spends large portions of it on waste fraud and abuse, useless financial ventures and fighting with multiple streets half way across the neighborhood.

But chuck promises he is the most effective way of feeding Ted.


> I mean community will share of their own free will...

They did and do.

Ron Paul is an exemplary example of this and it still occurs today outside of medicine even with the corrupt government stealing vast portions of income.

>>
>>30102274
Your right

except heres how it actually works

After taxes the state and local and federal government probably takes an average of 40-50% of your total income. You dont notice it but all the small things they tax build up immensely. Plus you pay for roads and tolls and buildings and services THEY ALREADY TAXED YOU TO MAKE.

So you are triple and quadruple paying for services you may never use, which are then run for profit, and the "excess" tax money is literally funneled into corporate pockets who then donate to the politicians who want to increase the flow of state-sponsored free money.

Its a fucking scam.

You could do a national 5% sales tax and pay for every necessary public service and road in the united states.But this would require cutting useless bullshit like welfare for people who can work but do not, welfare for illegals, free services and clinics which go completely unused, the TSA the ATF and consolidation of the hundreds of federal law enforcement agencies with overlapping jursidiction.

Not to mention that after income taxes are removed you would experience an immense upswing in economic growth and business.... which makes you more tax money.

Right now taxes are stifling development and killing businesses which actually matter (ie small business) but this is of course because of political interest to fuck you over because competition is a sin.

Here's an anecdotal example:

I, along with my business partner, opened a small grocery in one of the "food deserts" in our city. We sell good quality produce and meats. Not organic, but vegetables from farms around here and other items from our kitchen that are perfectly edible, but not necessarily up to the standards we like.

More than half of the people that come in every day pay with EBT/Food stamps. I make it a point to try and talk to every person that walks through that door and yeah there's a handful of welfare bums but the majority are people that have fallen on hard times, or people that were born there and see no way out. The city govenment here is run by old money white people who want to make sure this neighborhood (85% black) is "contained" and actively work to do so.

I employ, at any given time, six or seven people ranging from teenagers to mid 40's who almost all live within a few blocks of my store. They are the hardest working people I employ and we've even moved some to our restaurant and given them positions both front and back of house and they excel at them.

Many of these people would be literally on the streets without government assistance and as much as people love talking about "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" most of them have never had to experience the soul-crushing torture that is actual true abject poverty. It's a cycle of desperation, depression, and mental illness that is very hard to come out of even for the most motivated people.

My taxes (personal and business) go to welfare and I'm pretty fucking OK with that. Even if for every one family in true need there were 50 lazy motherfuckers (Which isn't true at all) I'd still happily continue supporting welfare so that one family won't fall through the cracks.

It's called having compassion for your fellow humans and if we as a society can't manage that we may as well go back to living in the desert and worshipping the Sun as God like savages.

I can have compassion and decide when and where to be charitable with my earnings, holding me at gunpoint if I refuse to participate in your definition of compassion by giving a large portion of my income to a corrupt government is much more barbaric than my potential refusal to pay other peoples way.

You may be fine with being held hostage for charity, I would prefer it was voluntary you massive communist faggot.
>>
>>30102542

If I don't pay taxes for social programs I disagree with armed men will come to my home and imprision me.

Charity is suppose to be voluntary not coerced with threat of imprisionment (or death if I resist violently).

If it were voluntary nobody would volunteer and you know it.

I agree that welfare as life support for an entire social class who simply elect not to work is bullshit. But you need some sort of government intervention at some point lest the entire thing collapse into Somalia-tier shittery.

It's like the medical industry. Nobody wants socialized healthcare, but the free market is what got us to the point where a single dose of aspirin in a hospital costs more than the entire bottle would in a WalMart. There needs to be a series of fair cost controls enacted by the federal government that prevents the sort of price gouging you see today that has made health care essentially unaffordable for a huge segment of the population. But since the argument is dominated by retards who either want Maoist communism or free market fuckery, nothing is going to be done that actually works.

>Yeah except a majority of people choose not to be and would rather see their fellow humans suffer in the streets than part with any of their money.

Charity existed before welfare and the welfare state is as any government program corrupt.

Stop the government from taking 40% of my income and I will gladly give some of it directly to those around me that need it as will many MANY Americans.

That is untrue I voluntarily drop a $20 in the church offering plate every week. On X-mad it's a $100.

I volunteer at the soup kitchen/food pantry every week. One of my jobs is to clean up the parking lot where the hungry poor people drive to in thier cars. They will just leave anything they don't want to eat on the ground of the parking lot. Frequently any food which is not ready to eat is left behind. The biggest draw is the day old bread and pastries from the over priced hipster bakery down the street.

There is a myth in America that working age, physically capable adults are going hungry (children and elderly are because of scum bag relatives).

I believe many people don't give because they think thier taxes cover it. I recall reading America still has higher charity donation rates then socialist Euro countries.

Sounds like the guy whose family had to live on welfare after dad died was living pretty close to the bone already.

Or, if they're from old money, they come from a family that made their money exploiting dirt poor immigrants who came to this country to make a better life for themselves.

sure, compassion is definitely a good thing
but it is not compassionate to take money (ultimately at gunpoint and under threat of imprisonment) to give to the needy
it is only compassionate to give money out of your own pocket

if you want to make an argument for gov't sponsored charity/welfare, that's fine, but the argument must stem entirely from social utility for taxpayers not receiving such assistance
any argument based on compassion or charity is illegitimate because charity must be given freely and compassion is a feeling felt by an individual

Before Welfare, people joined charitable societies like the Moose Lodge or Ellsworth Club or the Lions Club. Charitable societies looked out for members of their communities and also allowed members who fell on hard times to maintain their pride, since they were part of the club and had made contributions and helped others, it wasn't begging. It was a mutual support system. It also gave people an excuse to get together and party, too.

Then about four years ago the mods decreed that anyone who wanted to talk about the election had to go to pol, flooding the bird with traffic and outsiders. When the lectionaries was over it created a vacuum that was filled by storm flags mistaking what had been satire for actual beliefs.

Skilled trades are kind of a secret I guess these days since so many kids are pushed hard on college.

My apprenticeship was 5 years long. I was paid the whole time at half a journeyman's wages and and got a 10% pay increase every year as long as I passed my tests.

A college kid doesn't start making money till he graduates generally speaking.

We both contribute to our 401k's (hers is matched up to 6%, but she contributes 9%, mine is only 3%). We have money going into multiple savings accounts, little here, little there. We eat well, can afford some nice things (such as the occasional new gun).

But Planned Parenthood, area hospitals, and Philadelphia's network of free clinics all offer family planning services, and these institutions are so well known in these neighborhoods that few have to look in the phone book to find the address. Furthermore, most say they used birth control-usually the pill, a condom, or both-at the beginning of the relationship with the baby's father. 15 But once there is an understanding that they've become an exclusive pair, he often abandons condoms because continued use would signal a lack of fidelity and trust. 16 And the same young woman who initially took a birth control pill each day, wore the patch each week, or visited the clinic for the "depo" (Depo-Provera) shot every three months suddenly decides that these practices are not worth the trouble.1'

And also because they're always the basic stuff.
