Make it so that ...if you can prove that you NEED a gun you can have one, following stringent training and registration.

It would be equally appropriate to ask that before me being denied the right to be armed that I'd be furnished with proof positive that I will never have a need a gun.

Did you choose the name 'dumbass' yourself or did others here give it to you? It's most appropriate I must say.

That's as close to a concession as you're likely to get.

Those in the front assumed that they had another emotionally compromised individual they could exploit and possibly use as a poster boy. They had no problem using children for that purpose in the Super Bowl pre-game show.

Listen fella. You're new here. Perhaps you would do better to find your feet a little more. It's the way we do things around here. It's what we like about Backpage..the fact that we can have some banter with each other without getting banned. Look around a bit, we all do it and if you don't like it...in the words of a dear past member here, ....go fuck yourself!

If dumbass has a problem with it he'll give as good as he gets.

You just don't get it. In this country everyone has the absolute right to express themselves. It's a thing refereed to by us as "FREEDOM OF SPEECH". Being someone on the outside looking in it is damn presumptuous of you to s***est that he needs more seniority to speak. Even you haven't been around long enough to even begin to make a good pimple on the ass of Fly Boy much less assume to speak for him. The real question is "Where the hell is his oven?"

That sounds all to familiar!

The 1938 German Weapons Act

The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law, superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm. Furthermore, the law restricted ownership of firearms to "...persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a (gun) permit." But under the new law:

Gun restriction laws applied only to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition. The 1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as was the possession of ammunition."[4]
The legal age at which guns could be purchased was lowered from 20 to 18.[5]
Permits were valid for three years, rather than one year.[5]
The groups of people who were exempt from the acquisition permit requirement expanded. Holders of annual hunting permits, government workers, and NSDAP members were no longer subject to gun ownership restrictions. Prior to the 1938 law, only officials of the central government, the states, and employees of the German Reichsbahn Railways were exempted.[4]
Jews were forbidden from the manufacturing or dealing of firearms and ammunition.[4]

Under both the 1928 and 1938 acts, gun manufacturers and dealers were required to maintain records with information about who purchased guns and the guns' serial numbers. These records were to be delivered to a police authority for inspection at the end of each year.

On November 11, 1938, the Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick, promulgated Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons. This regulation effectively deprived Jews of the right to possess firearms or other weapons.[6][7]

Well how about that!!! Same here!

Being someone on the outside looking in it is damn presumptuous of you to s***est that he needs more seniority to speak.

I didn't. I s***ested that he "look around" so that he could see that 'banter' is the order of the day on backpage. It's what we like about the place.

Even you haven't been around long enough to even begin to make a good pimple on the ass of Fly Boy much less assume to speak for him.

Fly Boy????? How the hell am I speaking for FlyBoy. I was speaking to 'Liberty_One'.

The real question is "Where the hell is his oven?"

Well exactly. Liberty_One needs to experience it!

Compare apples with apples will you? 1938 is not 2013.
