So if "most" black people align themselves with the NAACP, they aren't doing a very good job of showing it. You have a (5X) higher percentage of gun owners who are in the NRA, yet you claim all the time that most gun owners don't align themselves with the NRA. <br /><br />"Yet, he claims that when Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton speak, all blacks follow lemming-like."<br /><br />Actually, that's your JadeLogic being used against you. You assume most black people align themselves with the NAACP lemming-like, so why can't they follow Jackson and Sharpton lemming-like? <br /><br />"Then AzRed uncovers a heretofore unknown race war between Jews and blacks. This despite many black groups having been founded, financed by, and aligned with major Jewish groups. Next, AzRed will be telling us how fluoridated water is robbing us of precious bodily fluids."<br /><br />You only gave me one anecdote to support your theory. I gave you three. By JadeRules, I win. <br /><br />"Then he equates public policy with bigotry."<br /><br />Because it is.<br /><br />"By such logic, child pornographers could claim pornography laws to be bigotry. Heroin users could claim drug laws to be bigotry. The list goes on."<br /><br />There is a slight difference, Jade. Heroin and child porn aren't legal. Guns and being black are, despite the efforts of bigots to denigrate both. My comparison is quite a bit more valid than yours.<br /><br />"And, no, serious scholars do not believe dropping the A-bombs on Japan was necessary."<br /><br />And had we listened to those scholars, WWII would have had a much higher body count.AztecRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027951757285806109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-84514835566689225042010-01-08T15:33:42.037+01:002010-01-08T15:33:42.037+01:00Yes, Joe Huffman is clinically insane but, holy je...Yes, Joe Huffman is clinically insane but, holy jeez, Aztec Red ain't far behind on the crazy train.<br /><br />First, he denies that most blacks align themselves with groups like the NAACP, Urban League and the like.

Thus, virtually all Jews and African Americans are bigots because most align themselves with these organizations."<br /><br />How do you know "most" blacks and Jews associate with those organization? Surely you have some numbers to back up that claim. Or is that JadeMath?<br /><br />You see, some of us learned from the past and chose not to follow in the foot steps of our oppressors.

But turnabout is fair play, right? <br /><br />Then there was the Crown Heights Riot, the ADL suing HUD because they were employing companies owned by NOI members to provide security in black neighborhoods, Jesse Jackson's "Hymietown" affair, etc.<br /><br />"So, you equate policy differences with racism?" <br /><br />Considering racism in America was the policy, yes.

It's bigotry as well. <br /><br />"IOW, you see a university study correlating gun ownership with higher levels of gun homicide as the same as a tshirt celebrating blacks getting lynched?"<br /><br />No. I see a university study correlating gun ownership with higher levels of gun homicide the same as J.

After all, that makes you a part of the ruling class.<br /><br />Surely you've seen a war or two if you've been around that long. The perfect example is the dropping of the A-bombs on Japan. Had we not dropped those bombs, a ground invasion of Japan would have been a blood bath. The perfect example of killing some to save others.<br /><br />"But, as I mentioned before, if I'd been carrying a gun all that time, I surely would have mistakenly thought I was facing that situation, and more than once."<br /><br />How do you know it would have been a mistake?

It insinuates that slavery could have been prevented by gun ownership--a laughable notion. It ignores the fact slavery was created and fostered by denying blacks access to virtually all institutions of political power. <br /><br />And it ignores the fact the NRA and many gunloon groups have few minorities in their numbers. This is unsurprising given the fact the NRA tends to portray minorities as gang criminals and terorists.

Blacks <i>still</i> are disproportionately affected by the scourge of restrictive gun laws, by virtue of the fact that such a large proportion of blacks live in areas with the most draconian gun laws in the U.S. That's without even getting into NYC's "stop and frisk" policy, which harasses minorities <b>vastly</b> disproportionately when compared to whites--all to "get guns off the street" in the name of "public safety."<br /><br />The worst part of the whole sick joke, of course, is that many blacks are complicit in their own persecution, with the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons, etc. of the world all working tirelessly to keep blacks disarmed, and duping others into joining those efforts.

Aren't you saying that one life is more valuable than another?"<br /><br />No, because there are times when you have to kill someone to save others.<br /><br />And yes, that is saying that one life is more valuable than another. Egalitarianism is only an <i>ideal</i>, not a reality. In a fantastic perfect world, everyone would be of equal value and no one would need a gun. But in the real, imperfect world, there are some people who are no different than crazed animals, who go around preying on those who are weaker than them. And they should be put down like the crazed animals they are. That's where firearms come in. <br /><br />Firearms are a force multiplier. And in some cases, even a force equalizer. Firearms are the claws of the prey, used to fight off the crazed animals that would victimize them. It gives the weak a fighting chance against the strong.<br /><br />So firearms actually help move the world towards your ideal of egalitarianism where everyone is of equal value. Because without firearms, the weak would be of lesser value, the strong (criminal or not) would be of more value, and the weak would essentially live at the whim of the strong. Not the kind of world you want to live in if you're a woman, disabled, or a minority of some sort.<br /><br />And that is why firearms are a civil rights issue. Not just the rights of gun owners, but the right of all people would be otherwise be slaves or victims in a world where the strong dominated the weak.AztecRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027951757285806109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-86678224486794083862010-01-07T06:34:40.804+01:002010-01-07T06:34:40.804+01:00AztecRed's comparison of "gun control&quo...AztecRed's comparison of "gun control" laws to Jim Crow laws is spot-on.

I've got parents and grandparents who lived through enough Jim Crow to make me more than qualified on the subject. And i'm sure any lesson you'd give would be filled with your trademark JadeMath and other assorted fallacy. <br /><br />"...think it important to note that many groups who actively support gun control are Jewish: the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, B’nai B’rith, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, Hadassah, the Jewish Labor Committee, the National Council of Jewish Women and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations--to name a few.<br /><br />It should also be noted that the leading black groups--the NAACP included--support gun control."<br /><br />No one said minorities couldn't be bigots themselves. The long-standing animosity between both blacks and jews should stand as testament to that. So it's no surprise that you can find minority groups that are also for gun control. <br /><br />"So what we have here are the leading groups of people who were (and are) victims of genuine bigotry supporting gun control."<br /><br />Or a typical case of the slaves becoming the oppressors. <br /><br />"In point of fact, many gunloons attack both blacks and Jews. As I noted previously--many gun shows sell or distribute anti-semitic and anti-black materials."<br /><br />And I bet many jewish and black organizations distribute anti-gun material. See how that works? All of your "blah blah many gunloons" fallacies can be turned around and be equally valid for anti-gun loons. That's what happens when you deal in fallacy rather than facts.<br /><br />"WRT Dems being the party of Jim Crow, Aztec Red omits the fact that when the Dems kicked the Dixiecrats out of the party--they were embraced by the GOP. We shouldn't forget that folks like Jeese Helms, Strom Thurmand, etc. were recently GOP elder statesmen."<br /><br />And yet the democrat part is still home to bigots. Only instead of hating black people, they hate black guns. They essentially replaced Robert Byrd with Carolyn McCarthy. Oh wait... They didn't. They still have both of them.AztecRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027951757285806109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-75246511598415972102010-01-06T21:44:11.221+01:002010-01-06T21:44:11.221+01:00I have to admit I agree with JadeGold about callin...I have to admit I agree with JadeGold about calling personal firearms ownership "a civil right".<br /><br />"Life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness"<br /><br />Isn't the use of lethal force as a primary option antithetical to life?

By failing to address this issue and claiming "right", you are a part of the problem. Hence the "bigotry".Laci the Chinese Crestedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371541369012938298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-15179351892462614252010-01-06T21:01:07.896+01:002010-01-06T21:01:07.896+01:00Mikeb30200:
You said:
"In essence they'...Mikeb30200:<br /><br />You said:<br /><br />"In essence they're saying if certain things happen, too severe gun laws, too much "socialism" from Obama, they will respond with gun violence."<br /><br />That's all wrong. What they are "saying" with their gunz is: <br /><br />"Don't tread on me and don't send your jackbooted federal confiscators after me or I'll have to--regrettably--open a big ol can of 5.56 whupass!" <br /><br />See, they just want the scheming authorities to know that they will protect their own interests, pre-emptively, if necessary.democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-72982997991038691832010-01-06T20:51:35.175+01:002010-01-06T20:51:35.175+01:00Joe Huffman is clinically insane
Hmmm, I thought ...<i>Joe Huffman is clinically insane</i><br /><br />Hmmm, I thought personal attacks were verboten here MikeB? As usual the rules don't apply to your buddies.<br /><br /><i>One wonders if Aztec Red would stand up in front of a group of Holocaust survivors and claim that he, too, is a victim who has suffered as much as they.</i><br /><br />Ah, there's are usual Jade. Aztec, nor anyone else here has equated the persecution that we face as gun owners to that of Holocaust survivors.<br /><br />You're attempting to make it appear that Aztec made an absurd argument when he did nothing of the sort. We specifically compared it to the way Jews were treated PRE HOLOCAUST. Leave it to you Jade to have absolutely no grasp of what's being discussed. <br /><br />I've met Joe Huffman and have had the pleasure to sit down and talk to him at length. I am sure that Jade would be incapable of having an adult conversation at the level of Joe & I were he to sit down with us.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-75245110017014185922010-01-06T20:40:28.511+01:002010-01-06T20:40:28.511+01:00Actually Joe did not say that, he said it's si...Actually Joe did not say that, he said it's similar to how Jews were treated in germany PRIOR to the early 1930's. <br /><br />They were persecuted, dehumanized, villified at every opportunity, and used as scapegoats for the problems plaguing germany at the time. They were looked down upon with contempt.<br /><br />Gun owners in many areas of this country are treated much the same way, particularly in liberal strongholds.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.com
