It’s not good at all, it’s confusing and disorganised. Just because he can write brilliantly and we agree with him doesn’t make it good writing.

There is much too much arguement about the definition of an assault rifle and not enough arguement in support of it. In the event that citizens must repel enemies both foreign and domestic, true assault rifles will be precisely what the good people need. Rather than avoiding the assault rifle label, it should be stressed that the assault rifle is precisely what the 2nd Amendment was designed to protect. My AR15 is not an assault rifle…but sure wish it was!

Lots of flooding in Queensland at the moment “globel warming to blame”, of course they also blame fire and drought on globel warming….

Laird – perhaps the idea is to drive out ever conservative person in New York State, so that even with economic collapse Cuomo junior manages to win reelection in November 2014.

The utter corrpution of the Cuomos is actually their LEAST nasty feature.

If global warming does happen, one beneficial side-effect here in australia will be that crocodiles will extend their territory southwards, and even sydneysiders will have good excuses for needing guns and weapons!

Florida is New York South. True southerners don’t consider it one of ours!

And Paul, you’re exactly right about the Cuomos. Scum through and through.

Those who can should leave New York State…

That’s a fine idea except that the gun issue aside, a great many people from NY, Mass., Hawaii, Ill. Maryland, and the like get fed up with the current state of their home state (taxes, crime, business climate) and move, but as soon as they find their new home they complain how much it isn’t like the place they moved from and vote those same kinds of folks they just escaped from into office. Miami is a prime example of that mentality.

Perhaps Laird – let us hope so.

As for the Governor of New York – he is a pig and the son of a pig.

Almost needless to say he has long been supported by Economist magazine.

Paul, regarding New York’s new gun registration law, it seems that a whole lot of people are planning to decline to participate. http://reason.com/blog/2013/01/25/new-york-gun-owners-flip-the-bird-to-ass Perhaps even New Yorkers are growing spines!

The blatent left (Sean Penn, Oliver Stone and so on) admit they support the regime in Venezuela) the clever left lie about their position.

Perhaps even lie to themsleves (“it will be differt with educated enlightned people in charge”).

You are right Paul, I read that other day that Venezuela has just banned the civilian ownership of firearms outright. Now the likes of Diane Feinstein will see how a benevolent and all-giving state treats its unarmed peons. Sad to say, she’ll probably like what she sees.

“Wake up in Sweden”?

That is not the objective of Comrade Barack and co.

“Wake up in Venezuela” would be closer to what they have in mind – as part of a whole planet like that.

Sweden has very high government spending – but in many other ways it is lot less socialist than people think it is.

Alisa – it is a difficult one (deliberartly so – it is a trap).

Registration of firearms is nornally a preperation for later confiscation.

Yet to deny the statute makes gun owners “criminals” and “extremists” – and gives an excuse for a crack down.

Those who can should leave New York State – thus avoiding the trap.

Then NATIONAL registration will be demanded…..

Yes I know.
