Oh, well, now that an aging basketball star has reinterpreted centuries of American and English history and jurisprudence, I guess we'll just have to believe him, right? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Stop Talking About Gun Control—Enforce It."

"The recent massacre of nine people at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College has prompted President Obama to make new calls for stricter gun control laws. His plan is a reasonable beginning. His modest proposal calls for background checks, investing in school safety, improving mental health awareness, providing gun training, increasing police on the street, and banning military-style assault weapons. This is where the 'well regulated' part of the Second Amendment comes in. Let’s try it, see if it works or not, then reassess our options after a reasonable amount of time."

This country needs CULTURE CONTROL, NOT GUN CONTROL.

First it was (and still is) the urban gang bangers headlining the news on almost a daily basis. America turned an apathetic ear to them because they're just criminal gang members shooting eachother and most people said GOOD let them kill eachother off. Now its the random mentally defective gun free zone mass shooters headlining the news at every convenient time to continue the left's push to remove guns from our society.

Neither group has any conflict resolution skills because they've grown up in areas where there is no sense of civil culture. Add to that the selfish attitudes of the "ME" "ME" "ME", FREE SHIT ARMY generation and this is the result.

Jabbar should be specifically addressing those who are most likely inclined to commit crimes with firearms, NOT supporting a blanket oppression of people's protected rights.

You want mine? You'll have to come right here in person and take them....and I assure you that will not be an easy endeavor and if it is successful, be sure to have enough bags to pick up the corpse littered fields.

Not going quietly or alone into that Cold, Dark, Good Night.

Hey K-ream, why don't you and the Nation of Islam try living without arms first while we watch.

"Regulated"

"You keep using that word! But I don't think it means what you think it means!." -- Inigo Montoya

Word usage in English (and other languages as well) changes over time. Otherwise there's no way that "don we now our gay apparel" would ever have become a popular Christmas lyric.

The fact is that the meaning you know for "regulated" is not the only meaning in today's dictionary and certainly wasn't the only meaning in use in 1789. Put down the basketball and look it up!

If you just look at the stats (CDC) you will find that of the 38,000 deaths, 60% are suicides. 10% are accidental. Of the 11000 real homicides, 8500 are peer to peer. In other words family argument, drug deal going bad. In other words they knew each other. That leaves 2500 of which could be called murders. Of the 2500 murders more than 1500 are fights that gun or not someone would have been killed. That leaves about 1000 real murders that the average person could be subject to. That is less than the number of people killed by cops every year. So you have a greater chance of being shot and killed by a cop then killed by a criminal.

ALL HAIL EMPEROR-GOD ABDUL-JABBAR!!
We have no need of millennia of progress with the human condition, the growth of freedoms, the passage of laws, and the experience of mankind! Just listen to the wisdom of Emperor-God Abdul-Jabbar, and he will guide all to safety!

Sorry. I can't write any more. It was a struggle through the giggles and laughter to write just this much. What a douche. I just hope someone shoots me, or I die of other natural causes before I get that old and into senility and dementia, an embarrassment to my family, my principles, and my G-d. Oh, and for all you Libtard haters, before you start flaming and spouting, the first paragraph is written in a style known as satire and sarcasm.

Sounds like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar needs to have the Gom Jabbar test applied by a Bene Gesserit sister. Guaranteed he would fail, and in failing, die. Which would be no loss, as he would have proven himself to be, not a human, but an animal.

Meanwhile, gun shops in Israeli are selling out while gun owners flock to shooting sites, and knives are being pulled off the shelves in stores across Israel, with the governments blessing. What's next, knife control?

The only time I ever pick up Time to read is at the dentist's office. And then I look at it for a laugh, as it is so full of propaganda that only the sheeple that are in the deepest of sleep would listen to this crap. And being a society obsessed with celebrities we all must believe every word out of Lord Jabbar's mouth.

The most ironic part is that we HAVE "tried it and see what happens". Each and every bastardized definition of well regulated has been "enforced" already. From gun bans to carry bans to background checks to permission slips to gun free zones. Every bit of it has BEEN tried. It is, all of it is, an abject failure. Like the imposition of it all itself, the entire debate itself was already tried as well. Out of that came the Second Amendment.

This fight was won a long time ago. We ought to start arguing and acting like it! Instead of begging for permission, we should just have the courage to exercise the rights enumerated.

Jabar and Rodham need to be locked up in one of North Korea's slave labor camps. Seeing they love socialist's and the government's boot on their throat agenda's. Slave mentality. That's why democrat's love inner city. Give me something scum. Behind enemy lines, Ct.
