Halk,

Here's the three broad aspects to human existence, as I see them:

A) the times & circumstances of nature and politics and society -- which are ALWAYS CHANGING and EVOLVING
B) the technologies and knowledge base -- which are ALWAYS CHANGING and EVOLVING
C) human nature -- which NEVER CHANGES, and NEVER WILL

And it's that last part which keep tripping us up. Because people foolishly forget how [predictably] the human experience is altered and challenged in new ways, even as life in general is getting easier by way of advancement.

As such we have arrived at this rather ironic impasse, where with each passing day modern people become increasingly PATHETIC, and in many ways worthless to themselves, because the basic functions of life don't necessitate their having any degree of GRIT.

Look around and you can see obesity is only one manifestation of the overall sickness that ails people generally these days. There is better access to quality food (grass fed meat and pesticide-free produce) than there has EVER been. And better knowledge about healthy living, and better medical care, etc. And yet people have never been sicker, both mentally and physically.

The internet has given people LIMITLESS access to FREE information. Yet people use it primarily for porn, and living vicariously through themselves in their trumped-up social media exploits.

Oh, and for the first time since they've had data, IQ's are DROPPING.

We are going to have to face up to the idea that more technology has NOT made us more advanced. And that better living is primarily a function of the mind and spirit. And we had better get busy building THOSE things in stead of "tweeting" random, inane thoughts in search of sanctimonious "hurrays."

Can you even imagine sending a conscripted army of today's young men to storm the beach at Normandy?

The handgun and semi-auto rifle ban worked in Britain; now only the criminals and terrorists have them. If the Government could only just find a way of getting to those! The latest nonsense from the Government is wanting to ban 50 Cal. rifles because the Police don't have body armour that will stop them. You can't argue against logic like that..... If only they knew what they were talking about. Lagopus.....

This thread is a hilarious piece of fraud from the Master of Fraud on this website.

A cursory look at King Brown's posts over the years shows that he has been an anti-gun Troll who has been an ardent supporter of the most anti-gun politicians, namely our Liberal Left Democrats.

This is the guy who worked so hard with Ed Good to disrupt the intent of the "Preserve the 2nd Amendment Thread: Informational" that was pinned to the top of the subjects list here. King and Ed succeeded in getting it locked. You can read some of their crap here, but many of their disruptive posts had already been totally deleted by Dave Weber, so the worst of it is gone... except for what I have saved:

Preserve the 2nd Amendment thread - Informational

Another look at King's posts will show that he has been highly critical of posting ANYTHING in this forum pertaining to either politics or Gun Rights ever since it became hard for him to hide his anti-2nd Amendment sentiments. So one naturally should ask, why the hypocrisy here? Is he attempting to start another shit-storm? Or is he attempting to fool people into believing that he has actually been a force to prevent anti-gun legislation in Canada?

King doesn't fight the Anti-Gunners in Canada... he supports them and votes for them!

There is a large body of evidence consisting of King's own words to show that he has been supportive of Gun Control. King can, and likely will claim that my opinions about him are wrong. But leave it to King to attempt to deny his own words:

I believe there is a connection---as most liberals do--- and that those conservative and liberal countries with exceedingly lower rates are a result of their democratically chosen, more-onerous, freedom-restricting regulations, common-sense or not.

There is also King's repeated assertion that our Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms is not the Original Intent of the Framers. Even after the 2008 Heller and McDonald Supreme Court decisions, he has carried the lie of the anti-gunners and claimed it is a recent invention of the NRA, John Ashcroft, and activist judges:

Originally Posted By: King Brown
The Court departed from the original understanding of the Second. The NRA and other groups rejected the original interpretation. Even as late as 1991, the jurist Burger appointed by Nixon said "the Second Amendment has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word 'fraud,' on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime." In 2008, in the District of Columbia v. Heller, what Burger said was fraud was accepted by the court. Interesting stuff.


Originally Posted By: King Brown
Ed, historically the individual "right" to bear arms is relatively new. I believe John Ashcroft in 2002 became the first federal attorney-general to proclaim that individuals should be able to own guns. The Supreme Court in 2008 overturned all mainstream legal and historical scholarship by ruling that there is an individual right to own firearms although with some limits. Obama said it again last week.

I believe that during the previous 218 years the Second meant what it said: firearms shall be held by "the People"---a collective and not individual right---insofar they are in the service of "a well-regulated militia." Was an individual right even mentioned at the Constitutional Convention or in the House when it ratified the Amendment or when debated in state legislatures? I don't think so.


Here he is lying about what Constitutional Scholar Marc Levin said about the RKBA, and once again attempting to portray Liberal Left Justice John Paul Stevens as a Conservative:

Originally Posted By: King Brown
Levin and Stevens, on this evidence, appear to believe that the Second amendment should only apply only to those who keep and bear arms while serving in the militia, and not as an individual right. Stevens goes further in his book, saying democratic processes should decide on the matter, not the judges, as a remedy for "what every American can recognize as an ongoing national tragedy."

All from a Reagan conservative and a Nixon-appointed jurist.


Some people may be fooled by his bullshit. Others will likely defend it, including some of our F.A.G.'s (Fake Ass Gentlemen), who would be wailing and gnashing their teeth... crying to Dave Weber... and asking everyone to support IGNORING or banishing me if I started an off topic political pro-gun thread.

Don't be fooled by this crap.



A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Kingshoot's posting on this is pure CRAP.
Many people in Canada have been working their tails off to canvass our Looney Liberals on the folly (and our resistance and displeasure)of their "musings".
Our vaunted BS'er has been nowhere to be found in this fight. Our main site in Canada is "Canadian Gun Nutz". They would crucify KB if he had the nerve to show up.

I hoped you would show up, oldstarfire. How do you explain no organizing this time, only NFA and CSSA obligatory letter-writing? Nerve to show up? I assisted eastern mainland counties, spoke at an all-federal-party meeting on gun control last time. Our gun club had the loudest voice in the province, led by a rural physician. Is Canadian Gun Nutz organizing? Talking, writing letters, petitions, is warm spit. A coalition of gun nutz and publics who saw the craziness of the registry got us through last time.

I too hoped that oldstarfire would show up King.

Your fellow Canadian knows that you personally did nothing to help reverse the Canadian Long Gun Registry. I checked the Canadian Gun Nutz website to see if you were attempting to peddle your bullshit there too, but I wasn't able to get on for some reason. So thanks to oldstarfire for once again exposing the weasel in the henhouse. Your gun club may have been the loudest voice in the province, but we've all seen enough of your anti-gun rhetoric and support for anti-gunners to be fooled into thinking you were any help.

This is similar to the red herring you trolled after the Newtown school shooting when you were so critical of our NRA and went so far as to suggest that we should quietly accept what Obama and the anti-gunners wished, and attempt to later get back some of what we lost. You repeatedly claimed that you wrote the NRA and the late RINO Sen. John McCain (who also sided with Obama on new gun laws), but you would never dare to tell us what you suggested. No need though. Anyone who paid attention to you knows of your support for anti-gunners, your disdain for our NRA ,and denials of our 2nd Amendment rights.

Better that the NRA would consider what Obama proposing and it would respond in good time in the country's best interests etc.) Unwarranted inflaming of public opinion is a mistake, and in confrontations of this kind, it's the faux pas that can kill you. Some November dandies come to mind.


This is your legacy here King. No amount of bullshit now is going to erase what you posted here for the last 15 years. Here's a thread by you from 2007 posting your views that the 2nd Amendment only protects a collective right rather than an Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=40567&page=1

Many guys took the time to show you the Original Intent of the Framers. You even went so far as to say you now accepted it. But you always came back with the same old propaganda from the anti-gunners that you support and defend. When the Supreme Court affirmed the Individual Right in two separate cases in 2008, you and fellow anti-gunners claimed they changed the Original Intent of the Framers.

Now you want us to think you are some big supporter of gun rights???

You're not fooling anyone except fools King. And speaking of Liberals who try to get away with pretending to be something else, here's a funny and timely cartoon that James M. emailed to me a couple days ago:

Glad King started this hockey thread. I was starting to get antsy.

re the cartoon. Finally a Brown with some sense.

The way Apple was going today I thought I might be able to buy the Mooseheads.
Skates are still in the cards though.
