"... I hear this slippery slope crap all the time, enough already.  

A, ‘Slippery Slope’, is a phrase that is most known for it’s relationship to firearms/laws/freedom.

Yet,  ‘Slippery Slope’, Can and Has Been,
        very successful,
 in many other applications.

Now here is the the reason it is called,  ‘Slippery Slope’.
Ever Been on one ?   Ever Slid down one ?
Once you start, it is very hard to stop,
           Very  Hard.

So the term,  ‘Slippery Slope’,
       applying to  gun laws.
A  Liberal, pushes a Conservative,
 To the  ‘Slippery Slope’, and then they will
 ’Slide’ down rapidly.
Right down to the bottom, where  the Liberal want’s them.

And that is accomplished with terms like:
       ‘Common Sense Gun Laws’
So when the Ultra-Librals, believe they have DUPED  enough people.
With Their term, ‘Common Sense Gun Laws’,
Which WILL, Contain  absolutely  Draconian BAN ‘rules’.

If any one questions it, the Ultra-Liberls will Champion it,
calling it,  ‘Common Sense Gun Laws’,
and add, ‘Just Pass it, and read it later”.
 (Because they KNOW, that Line Works)

Just a tidbit for those that  Don't know.
 When Clinton First wrote the,
‘Common Sense Gun Law’
  BANNING  AR-15 and variants.

The First Bills, ALSO,  Completely BANNED,
a 2 barrel Shotgun, with One trigger.
AND, ALL,  Semi-Auto Shotguns.

But ya know, a ‘lobby’, stepped in,
and they had people that were firearm knowledgeable.
They, ‘Caught’,  those ’ ‘Slippery Slope’ laws.

Just like a bunch of, ‘Excavator Business’,
Hired a, ‘Lobby’, so that a, ‘Mound’ system was required.
A mound system cost a homeowner 4 times more,
and it cost the Excavator Less than a ‘old style’ system to install.
       (mound system treats backwater)

So perhaps now, some may understand,
 slippery slope, is NOT,  crap

Being aware of history and the nature of man isn't paranoia.
Bad stuff happens.
Being aware of the fact that others are not always nice isn't paranoia.


no, but suspecting it will happen at any time at any minute, anywhere, and you need deadly force to fight it....  idk, come on, I've NEVER felt threatened IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.  


Are you paranoid for wearing a seatbelt?
Having a spare tire?
Have you ever bought a daughter or wife pepper spray?
Do you approach intersections
Looking for someone who is not paying attention? Is that paranoid or just being safe?
You people

you people??? seriously?  okay, us people....  yeah...    screw you (listen, I'm just a vulgar person, but when you belittle me, you get nothing, okay, no more

Do Not understand how much safer YOU are, because of all those concealed carry guns out there. Bad guys know that there are guns in waistband and purses and they don't know which ones.
That's a DETERRENT.
And everyone benefits.

oh, and most places with those signs, HAVE ARMED SECURITY! as I've said before

most places with those signs absolutely DO NOT have armed security! I'm heading out with the wife this afternoon and we've got 5 or 6 stops to make. I will count how many have signs and how many have or do not have armed guards. The grocery store we're going to I already know has a sign but no guard. The golf store also has a sign with no guard. We're going to buy a new car seat for grand daughter, probably from target. They have a sign too, but I've never seen a guard in target.

GUN NUTS, are hard nosed and uncompromising.

Knowing the difference between right and wrong does that.
