Keith is always emotional King. He is always full of insults, with very little logic or thought to explain why he's turned into a nanny ideologue.

But I'd like to note that you started out to do one thing - limit "assault rifles" (a term invented by Adolph Hitler for the Sturmgewehr 44). It was sort of like trying to end "fake-news".. And the results have been horrendous. Sort of like, "you have to get a license to report 'news' now and submit copy for censure."

The results, sir, are not what you intended. But you did bring this on...as an activist. Can you as an activist, now roll back some of this insanity? I don't think so - you've helped unleash the bureaucratic, regulatory, whirlwind. But when the nation splits....the results of ignoring what some feel are their fundamental rights, may come home to roost.

Yes, it's what you say: a wide broom, stronger background checks, transferring some control from federal to municipalities, hand guns next. It's SOP in this country of authoritarianism abiding in representative democracies grappling with complicated civil rights issues. There's no need tell you how it got this way in both our countries.

King, a studied and well-considered response. We are indeed in new territory. We'll have to leave it to our sons & daughters to decide where they want to go.

I provided reasons why I abhor ARs as an affectation and flagrant example of consumerism. If others can influence public opinion to keep them, all power to them as a more successful control group, as it should be.

It's discouraging to me that I found no interest among shooting sports groups when I was ringing their bells that the prime minister said what he would do if elected, and now he's keeping parts of his promises and no one says boo.

An activist's mission is to ring alarms, to dissent in the public interest. Walter Lippman told me in an interview that the public interest is what we would chose if we saw clearly, thought rationally and acted disinterestedly.

I haven't unleashed anything with my efforts to arouse an indifferent shooting fraternity. Silence usually means approval. Indifference has become a noose around our necks. I'd like to think my opinion could provide action.

"...�Silence usually means approval..."

True words king. �

I think Argo, if you reread the majority of his comments, objectively he does not provide any science based systematic reasoning or fact supported conclusion. It is apparent that you like King's bedside manner, but what exactly did he say? I think King's style appeals to your emotions, but wouldn't you demand a little substance if it were a doc pitching some experimental treatment for a critically ill loved one. I like King's style, but he frustrates me with circular logic and various non answers, oh well?

There could be a case made that you have started topics with significant thought, research and logic applied. Truthfully, do you believe keith is all emotion and no substance? Maybe, if someone patronizes keith, that's just as insulting and worthy of a like response, I don't know?

The assumption is that a politician was expected to keep a campaign promise. King has spent many years here writting various versions of politicians lie, including using that word. How do we know that we were going to see an AR ban and not blackface parties? Maybe, it's hypocritical to flip flop, and next week it'll be the sqeaky wheel gets the grease and other platitudes about the voice of the minority, right?

Craig...yes..I think Keith is a jerk - he has resorted to personal invective at every twitch on this board and ruined dozens of lines...no matter the importance of the topic. (and Keith knows something about guns...Dommage)

I've been "diplomatic".."mature" in responding to M. King and I have to listen to him - he is a "Progressive" (Spanish Civil War) generation speaking. I've an uncle who was the air-wing commander on the Enterprise during the VN war who was told by his mother, my grandmother, that Hoover tried to starve people during the depression. He now still believes at 90 years old that Republicans killed JKF and RFK. You cannot change their opinion ...only respect it.

But look what at he just sort of said..."yes, I went too far, and it'll take a movement to change it".... Craig...look at what King just sort of inched-forward too. That's not bad. And for King to make that move....is pretty interesting.

So what I thing King said was...."Get off your butt and quit posting here and do something." (Got it?)

See how it works craigd???... personal invective is socially acceptable when Argo44 is dishing it out... But clearly, he can't take it. Nor is he intelligent enough to see the hypocrisy he exhibits above, and on a regular basis, as when he denigrates the residents of the State of Tennessee in order to continue his personal attacks on jOe.

That should also remind us of of Argo44's recent overly emotional assertion that this is an "engineering board". Does anyone here see any semblance of engineering, or even double gun content in his posts here? So then, what is left to say, aside from a little descriptive invective???... Argo44 is clearly a demented and pompous douchebag, blind to his own bipolar, schizophrenic, and hypocritical behavior.

It is cool to see canvasback confirming that King is telling us lies once again... This time concerning his assertion that there is little opposition to the recent Canadian anti-gun laws.

King is pretty much incapable of telling the truth when he is attempting to deflect attention from his blind and unbridled support for anti-gunners. He is a fraud of the highest order, and totally unworthy of respect. The blame lies squarely with those who elect politicians like Trudeau, Obama, Clinton, Biden, etc.
