I don't care. Jacope has had no more than 5 posts in this forum and even he sees Mr Parker is an idiot. And as for him PMing Jacope, he PMed me too. Probably PMed others. Sad really.
33 Christian ministers in the SCLC (Southern CHristian Leadership Council) started by Marin Luther King
*It is a publicly known fact that all the preachers had to be masons. 33 masonic preachers leading the civil rights movement... Hmmm. Not related directly but 33 shows up a lot of random spots that seem coincidental.

Your first sentence there is simply a biased and ludicrous lie. It's not true at all.
And meanwhile, you will note that these sort of massacres do not happen in the UK. Nor has any sort of gun crime risen that would have been preventable by a constitutional right to firearms.
Try talking sense for once.

What would the life look like under the "New World Order" in your credible opinion? If you believe that European Union is the part of New Order, like your posts about Belgium indicated, than I am afraid that I am a supporter of it...
But could you explain to me the connection between limited gun access and slavery, please? I don`t get it, I am afraid. P

You have some serious problems being all hung up about a pm conversation I had with you like over two or 3 months ago now and here you are talking as though I STILL pm you about it.get a life and stop telling storys.I pm'd YOU about it back then because the discussion on that topic which was 911, was going on in the GDF section and the thread got closed.They were facts I told you and you buried your head in the sand and ignored them and didnt even bother to check them out even though I referred you to WHERE you could check them out,you didnt bother going to that website and checking them out because like so many, are afraid of the truth and dont want to hear something that counters your beliefs and proves your facts wrong.

After the largest school shooting in American history, the massacre at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University that has taken the lives of more than 30 students and faculty and injured many more, we can expect to hear calls for more regulations and controls on the weapons Americans are permitted to purchase, own and carry. Just a couple years after Clinton’s Assault Weapons ban lapsed, we will probably be bombarded with the consensus of most politicians, talking heads and journalists – especially on the left and in the respectable center – that what the Virginia Tech shootings show is the need for more gun laws.
In consideration of how the state actually operates in its supposed attempts to protect the people, let us return to the idea of gun control, one of the major mechanisms by which law enforcement is claimed to make us safer.
To challenge this assumption, and the corollary that more gun laws are a proper response to the Virginia Tech tragedy, will almost surely be seen as heartless and dense, especially at this time. For, despite one’s political leanings, should we not sympathize for the humanity of those killed, wounded and forever traumatized in this act of barbarism? Well of course we should. What has happened is the very negation of the principles of civilization and humanity. And just as some are formulating their answers to this horrible atrocity along the lines of recommending more government, it is reasonable to ask now how this happened.

Handguns must be more closely watched, or banned outright, we will be told. Assault rifles and armor-piercing bullets will also be condemned, though they apparently had nothing to do with this crime, which seems to have been committed with two handguns – a 9 mm and a .22. The NRA will even be blamed for all this, even though that organization favors plenty of the existing gun laws and has been known to advocate their more stringent enforcement. Already, the Brady Campaign is blaming this on the number of rounds permitted in a magazine. Why shouldn't we concede that just a few “reasonable” measures are in order to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people?
The truth is the polar opposite of what the gun control advocates will conclude. For what we have at Virginia Tech is just one more example of gun control and government protection failing miserably at their advertised goals, and in fact making such a massacre more likely to begin with.

Back in early 2006, a plan in the Virginia legislature to allow for concealed carry on the state’s college campuses failed in subcommittee. A representative of Virginia Tech said that the bill’s defeat would make “parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus.”
Perhaps it did make a lot of people feel safer. But the indisputable fact, which everyone should recognize by now, is that criminals don’t follow the law. Someone who is not going to obey laws against murder is not going to flinch at a law forbidding the carrying of weapons. And the notion that a gun law can eliminate weapons is just a fantasy, as any liberal who understands the failure of the drug war should by now see. Indeed, all these weapons prohibitions ever do is disarm those who are willing to follow the law, leaving them defenseless against criminals willing to break the law. Gun control rendered these students helpless, even as it did nothing to stop the killer.

The mentality of dependence that the leviathan state encourages with its wars, welfare state, gun control and public schools has also made would-be victims feel helpless whenever confronted by an actual threat. Today, Americans generally trust the state to protect them. But this trust is completely misplaced. In 1999, when two students slaughtered a dozen of their schoolmates and a teacher at Columbine, the Swat Team hesitated for a crucial period of time before storming the building – even as a student held a sign in the window declaring that a victim was bleeding to death within.
Now let me be clear. I do not wish to understate the horror of what any victim of such savage violent crimes go through. But the startling common thread throughout these massacres is the degree to which the government has claimed total control and promised total security. Public high schools and many colleges have long been deemed gun-free zones, as if this actually protects anyone.
Airline security has long been the domain of the state, yet the state would do absolutely nothing to protect Americans on 9/11.
And at Virginia Tech, the students had the false sense of security that because the government had greatly restricted their own right to bear arms at a public facility, they would be safe. Yet for two full hours, the police failed to stop the assailant between the time he began shooting and the time he killed many others and then himself. And, again, we have no reason to necessarily expect it to have gone any better.

In 2002, at Appalachian Law School in Virginia, a private institution, a school massacre was cut short when students resisted, one of them with a gun he had retrieved from his car. Yet, as some have pointed out, we hear little about such horrible crimes being stopped by private weapons ownership.
Millions of times a year, criminals are preempted by Americans wielding private weapons. Studies indicate that well over ninety percent of the time, private individuals defend themselves with guns without ever firing a shot. You compare this caution and success to the record of government agents, who, knowing they will usually get away with negligent or even malicious violence, are increasingly likely to use overwhelming force against the peaceful.
