Dear Fudds, if you think you can't lose your hunting gun, think again.

[Tanfodude]

Well, talk is talk. Question is, what are you gonna do if when this happens? That is the real question.

It has happened before and it'll happen again. The people are divided so the .gov will always have an advantage.

From the article: "The incremental method of subverting the right to bear arms is well underway."

Yep... we are the frogs in the pot of water slowly being brought to a boil.

I see these terms thrown a round a bit. Got a definition/links for fudds and butters?

Think about Elmer Fudd's shotgun. That also gives us the term "Fudd gun".

From the Urban Dictionary
The slang term for gun owners of what could be called limited tastes. They are thought of as being casual gun owners and nut true supporters of the Second Amendment. These are the guys that Diane Feinstein is talking about when she talks about acceptable gun ownership.

Two characteristics normally identify a FUDD.

#1: Very limited range of shooting interests. A FUDD could have just 1 gun, or more than 153 guns, but all those guns fall within a very limited range of interests. The interest that defines a FUDD is "sporting purposes". All their 12 ga wood and blued steel shotguns, bolt action rifles, 44 magnum revolvers, and 9mm pistols only have one purpose: sport. These guns are either for hunting, or they are for marksmanship and trap competitions. Nothing they have is supposed to take the role of a dedicated defense gun, or a daily carry gun. They wouldn't be caught dead with anything black polymer, tactical, or concealable. If you ask them why they own guns, the typical answer is for hunting or for sport. If you ask them about personal defense, expect either half-assed answer about a shotgun loaded with birdshot, or just calling the Police.

#2: Provincialism in applying the Second Amendment. By the estimation of a FUDD, the Second Amendment exists to let him hunt deer, shoot quail, play trap, and punch targets. They will likely talk about how nobody needs an "assault weapon" or anything like that. FUDD type sentiment is what brought about the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, as well as many other ultimately pointless laws. The FUDD does not care so long as they can keep their M1903a3 Springfield and their custom Beretta double-barreled shotgun. They are willing to sacrifice other sections of the gun community to save themselves.

Here's a fictional FUDD:

Name: Ed Mulder
Age: 53
Employment: Auto Mechanic
Guns: 3; 1 Mauser 98 sporter, 1 Remmington 870 shotgun, and 1 Ruger 10/22.
Why he owns guns: He likes the sport.
Reaction when offered an AR-15: Grimmace.
Stance on Second Amendment: Giving citizens the right to have guns, but allowing for certain types of dangerous guns, like handguns and semiautomatic rifles, to be regulated. All he cares is that he still gets to hunt and do shooting sports.

Isaac Davis, ring of fire, dangerous old men, etc.

I'm old enough that I won't live to see confiscation. At least at my house.

You might not believe it, but I try to say this with as much love as possible

You are an idiot if you think people are going to post what they might or will do in that situation on an internet forum. Why would you seek to encourage them to do so

I don't think age changes that much.

This is no surprise. The end game has been to this all along. Those who thin otherwise are in a state of denial.

Thanks. I kinda had a clue about Fudd, that defines it quite well.

What about "butters" ? Anyone got a definition/link for that?

I support the Second Amendment, BUT......

Anything they can appose that the other side is for they are against. If the Republicans came up with a cure for cancer but it required Democrat support to be released then the world would never cure cancer. They are obstructionists. They are anarchist. They are eco terrorists. They are just useless sheep that follow the loudest and nastiest leader

Go to anyone of the news articles on Facebook and read the comments.
Plenty of people calling to get rid of ALL guns.

We must hang together, or we shall surely hang apart.

Who do we hang first?

In all seriousness, borrowing from a true American Patriot, my only regret is that I have but only one life to give for my country. Paraphrasing
But without question I will give it if need be but not frivolously

The children are the cool kids now. They'll do their best to use their media and liberal backers to make us all think their numbers are larger. The more attention we pay them the more successful they will be.

WE need to be focusing on the next election.

I agree about focusing on the next election. This last one isn't exactly working out like I thought it would.

I wouldn't expect any election to solve this problem. This has been an ongoing problem since long before even the NFA.

The government doesn't grant rights, and only the people have the power to take them and force the government to respect them.

 

[Trigger Time]

Need to start writing your state reps asking them to support the already introduced legislation to have a constitutional convention of states.
This is the ONLY political way we the people are going to be able to reign in the corruption and the waste in DC. We can further restrict the Congress and the president's power through this means. We only need several more states to pass this. Many already have. Congress has no choice but to obey if 2/3'rds of the states pass this. Thank you founding fathers for once again being so wise and giving us one final way to end the corruption in our republic before more drastic means become necessary.
They knew government would become corrupt and gave us THE PEOPLE power at the state level to force Congress and the president to obey US!
