I have one word for this hack editor .. "Liar"

Sane, Gun Control Legislation is a oxymoron.

1 sentence intro?

And, as obama proclaimed, "If you make less than $250,000 you will not see one dime more taken out of your paycheck."

Yeah.... we believe leftist promises.... NOT!

There are more factual diatribes printed by the onion and huffpo.

A prophet has arisen among us, one who is able to peer into the mists of the future and to behold what will and will not happen in time to come. Thus saith the prophet: Fear not! No one is coming to take your guns!

This is good to know. Now we can relax. The prophet has seen the future. There is nothing to worry about.

"No one is coming for your guns." Correct Mr. Pollock, Uncle Sugar is buying up all the ammo instead. Visited your local gun shop lately?

History proves him a liar and a fool.

Drink the Kool-Aid deeply, Sammy.

...and no one is going to form a "civilian defense force with as much power as the military", either?

...and no one will see their medical insurance costs go up "a single dime", either?

...and no one´s middle-class taxes will go up?

...and no one is doing end-runs around Congress to pass a far-Left Communist agenda in its infancy?

...and no one fiddles while Rome burns?

...and no one gave the "stand down" order which somehow vanished out of the public discussion?

...and "we´re in a recovery"?

...and the President has created six and a half million new jobs?

...and welfare recipients are not at an all-time high level in America?

...and the President is a Christian?

#8 is right. EVERY time a government has imposed registration it has been followed up - sometimes a decade or more later - with confiscation.

What follows confiscation is very often mass-murder: government murdering its own people.

Nearly 200 million people were killed in the 20th century by their own governments.

Hey Fool, try taking a pistol, rifle, or shotgun into NYC or Chicago where only criminals have guns. They´ve already taken away law abiding gun owners guns.

I agree with the headline. The rest is just anti-MRA malarkey.

This sanctimonious " they seem really smart, too . I feel sorry for them that they believe this can happen´´...... is the same drivel that has kept me from engaging my own sister in conversation since Obama was elected in 08.
This article reminds me of something we would see in "The Weekly Reader" in grade school.

Herr Himmler, Herr Hitler, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse Tung: "No one is coming to take your guns". Sam Polluck needs to realize that People everywhere are only one power-grab away from tyranny. If Sam already knows this, then he is merely paving the way for tyrants.

Well, you´ll note that he fudged by leaving open the possibility that the zombies will come for our guns, and seriously, what are the Obamunists if not zombies?

Everyone knows that no one is coming to confiscate guns tomorrow. But we are aware of the left´s tactic of taking power incrementally. Example : the homosexual agenda. Example: public education. Example: entertainment. Example: the media.

Now we see you emboldened by your Marxist leader. And we know you leftists will start small taking as big of bites as you can. And we know how you exploit what you contrive as crises in order to plow thru legislation you want that is against the will of the citizens.

So pardon us if we put you on notice that gun control, as YOU see it will not be obeyed. Pass all the legislation you want. But you´ll have to send someone knocking at my door with a search warrant. We will nullify your legislation like the OJ Simpson jury. And you had better be ready for the second civil war.

This guy is lying or is ignorant. There are proposals in several states to make possession of some legally owned guns illegal. They´ll have the option of surrendering them, moving them out of the state, or becoming criminals.

And if they do come for the guns, this guy will cheer them on. Libs are famous for that. They say something won´t happen, but when it does they support it and it´s like they never said otherwise.

Clearly he hasn´t read the NY "SAFE act".

Just another low-info Democrat who got himself a column.

Here are some quotes that say the opposite of what this vapid troll wants people to believe:

http://coldservings.livejournal.com/51731.html

No, they expect you to turn them in. Failure to do so makes you a felon. Then they arrest you and take everything you own.

That is what they want us to believe. I am not buying it.

The author is correct. There are plenty of tin-foil hat folks out there.

The issue is violence and senseless murder. How do we as a society keep weapons away from those most likely to commit violence and senseless murder? And just when is the NRA going to show any interest at all in even coming to the table to address this question?

I agree with the author that there was a time the NRA focused on things like gun safety education instead of tin-foil hat conspiracy theories. The NRA was a better organization back then.

They lie through their rotting teeth concerning the Obama Administration, then they print a story like this and expect people to believe them. So their real message is "Listen up folks you are all stupid"

This guy must have missed the extreme gun control bill that the liberal Democrats at the NY state level pushed through in three days without any honest debate.

Sam Pollack will be running to catch the last train to Auschwitz.

#22 I am not sure if you are being obtuse or ignorant of the fact that there is a SECOND AMENDMENT to the constitution that protects your right to spew from the left, but it also protects the citizens from worthless and needless negotiations directed at negotiating away our rights.

#22: It doesn´t take a tinfoil hat to read the NY SAFE act. A big part of it is taking guns.

What´s crazy is denying the truth when it´s right there, front and center.

Our local Lo-Fo doesn´t seem to understand that the NRA is all about safety, responsible and LEGAL gun handling. Why is it the NRA´s responsibility to address violence and senseless murder. That´s NOT what they are about. There are plenty of laws on the books for that. Enforce them! Show us all the senseless violence and murder on the part of NRA members before making such a silly statement.

If you believe this carp, go to this web site UTube concerning gun confiscation after Katrina.

I was astounded when I saw this...

Ha! The fool negates his whole position with this gem of a sentence toward the end of his article:

FTA:”... When I asked them about why anyone might need a rifle that can fire 30 rounds without requiring reloading, why anyone other than a collector might require an assault weapon, or why closing the gun show loophole is a bad idea, they kept coming back with the same answer…."

And you know this for sure how, Sam?

Why not make a bet with your Oneonta neighbors?
If the government never comes to take their guns, they will admit you are a genius and were right.
If the government does come to take their guns, they get to double-tap you with their weapons before they are confiscated.

C´mon, Sam. Have some skin in the game

And to #22: NRA is very much focused on gun safety education, as you would know if you were an active member.

“...How do we as a society keep weapons away from those most likely to commit violence and senseless murder? …”

That doesn’t fall under the auspices of NRA.

‘Society’ has no power to ‘keep anything away.’ There is really no way to identify all ‘those likely to commit violence and senseless murder,’ but if a person believes
he/she has knowledge of such a person, ‘notifying proper authorities’ would probably be good advise.

NRA isn’t the ‘proper authority.’

They have no policing powers.

Hey sammy. Guess you are too dumb to have ever heard of a guy named hitler and Germany of the 1930s and 1940s. A H-ll of a lot more people died after he was allowed to take all German Citizens´ guns. Oh, I keep forgetting, people like you and #22, don´t give a damn about the Constitution of the United States.

Is this a joke?

22 needs to go back to the Daily Kos.

Sam Pollock lives in an ivory tower. Never the victim of a face to face crime. Thinks he´s above the common man problems, doesn´t acknowledge there are common man problems. He erroneously believes that they won´t come for him - he´s more dangerous than any conservative with a gun.

Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin came to power because they LIED to the public. Told them what they want to hear. The MSM praised Clinton for his lying ability (people didn´t need to be hurt by the truth). Now we have the epitome of a liar in office.

Just another of the many useful idiots needed to spew propaganda and help ensure the advancement of socialism in America. No sane person believes this tripe. Join the NRA and/or GOA TODAY!(you too rabbit)

In the now nearly classic movie "Red Dawn" (original version), people were rounded up and put into camps. How did the invaders know whom to go after? They read the gun registration rolls.

The author is in la la land. A simple reading of history, as well as the writings of the men who wrote the constitution would reveal why many in the US are legitimately concerned about govt abuse of power.

Also, the NRA has been talking addressing issues like mental health. Perhaps the rabbit has missed that.

Has the author not seen MO? They are passing a retroactive ban on AR15s and mags. You´ll have 90 days to turn themin or become a felon.

The specifics of the law in missouri:

Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:

(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;

(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or

(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

I emailed Mr. Pollock to inform him of his error, and await a retraction in his next column.

One time my dearly departed cat left me the head of a baby rabbit on my "Welcome" mat.

Such fond memories. I don´t know why I thought of that right now.

The powers-that-be will warn all gun owners to turn their guns in. If they don´t and are caught with them the fine will be $10000 and/or a year in jail on each gun--all mandatory. If you have a gun and property you want to keep you will turn in your gun.

If this editor is ever stupid enough to publish my name in his paper, he can expect a lawsuit with extensive damages for his malice. As for #22, you are willfully ignorant concerning the history of the NRA and it´s efforts to get Project Exile passed, aren´t you? The NRA and it´s members have done far more to stem the gun crimes in America´s urban centers than you and your ilk, but that won´t stop you from continuing to parrot the liberal line about NRA and who enforces gun laws. It sure isn´t democrat mayors.

Funny how every policy implemented by 0bama & his administration, aided & abbetted by his willing accomplices in the lsm, results in just the opposite, eh? Statist pols are all alike. ...Flim/flam, ´con artists,´ one & all. Who can trust ´em?

dem pols have no shame

If we didn´t have a president that was a habitual LIAR, if the media, as in reporters and NEWSPAPERs would stop LYING to us just because Obama says to and report their stories without bias and truthfully maybe the readers, those that are left, might see a different opinion and make logical decisions, but so long as we have a leftist anti-constitutional president and communist/´progressives´ and radical liars in the democratic party advising him we cannot expect a truly fair or rightful government. Believe nothing they say for they have repeatedly lied before...why trust them again? Leave that to the ill informed and uneducated non-readers and non-thinkers to swallow. Pull your head out...

To promote gun control is treason!

#22 should be relegated to the rabbit hole of memory. It is a serial KOS type poster, but we regulars know this. It´s effort is wasted money by Mr. Soros.
