Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

GOVERNOR JINDAL: Glenn, that's exactly right and it's amazing to me you didn't see more front page stories, breaking news on national news channels. Over 1,000 guns were confiscated from law-abiding citizens, especially in the city of New Orleans, and the stories would shock you. Wayne La Pierre came down here and said it was the first time in American history, the only time that the government, through the threat of force, took away weapons, guns from law-abiding citizens. Now, think about that. You never thought it would happen in the sportsman's paradise. We're talking about just to put some names and faces to this, there was a grandfather, a guy who was taking care of his family. Three men came to him with a machete. He was able to scare them off with a gun that he had. Time and time again, business owners used their guns to defend themselves. Now, remember there were signs saying if you loot, we'll shoot. The civil authorities said -- a lot of the First Responders did an amazing job. They can't be an every block, every corner, every hour of every day. There's no power. You can't call 911. No water. There's all kinds of rumors and stories about looters and thieves out there. So the civil -- you know, the civil order's not what it normally is. You have to be able to defend yourself. And then you hear these stories, and the NRA's got a powerful video on their web page about their grandmother, they broke into her home, wrestled her to the ground, took away her gun. She was later robbed. The bar, the business owner who defended his business with his gun. They confiscated his gun and then literally within several hours, next day, his business was robbed. The search and rescue team that try to go in and help people, they were turned around. They even -- federal law agencies that deputized some of their officials to be able to carry weapons, they weren't allowed to go in because they had weapons. And they said, we can't go in there unless we can defend ourselves. With all the stories about looting and people potentially even shooting at First Responders, there are stories after stories, and every time you talk to people about this, they just tell you, it couldn't have happened in America. They cannot believe that it actually happened, but it did. Happened in New Orleans, happened -- 1,000 guns were confiscated. We passed -- I authored a federal law that has become law in 2006, July 2006 that basically says they cannot do this, God forbid if there's another natural manmade disaster, they can't come in and take away your gun. The police organizations get it. They said, yeah, it doesn't make sense, we don't want to be in the business of going after law-abiding citizens; we've got enough work to be doing.

USA Glenn Beck

At least Glenn brings out politicians that are somewhat still for a free America

If the good citizens of WV intend to vote for a candidate based solely on gun laws and skin color, then I'm glad their vote will be of little significance.

If they are that worried about a president who can only sign laws that Congress must pass they are pathetic.

I have a gun. I vote. I don't care what color you are. If you as a politition, have such a disdain for MY constitutional rights. I have a bullet for you. That goes for any politition.

I took the same oath ANY candidate will take. Protect and defend OUR constitution from all enemies, foriegn and domestic.

The differance, I took it serious.

The bully pulpit is a powerful tool. Immediate access to 330 milion people...on request. Via satellite.

Immediate access to lawmakers who serve special interest, and not the people.

An enemy of the state, is an enemy to all. I don't care where you live, what you believe, who you serve, and least of all your skin color.

This is why the more...even tempered...of us believe that some measure of gun control is a good thing.
