SOUTH CAROLINA: Governor Signs NRA-Backed Bill.

[GreenStormCloud]

http://www.nraila.org/legislation/state-legislation/2012/7/south-carolina-governor-signs-essential-pro-gun-reform-legislation-into-law.aspx

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) signed House Bill 4494 into law on June 29, marking an end to South Carolina’s experiment with radical anti-gun policies in the 1970’s. This law, effective upon the Governor’s signature, repeals the prohibition on selling certain handguns that do not meet the arbitrary 800 degree melting-point standard, and the requirement for Federal Firearms License holders to be licensed with the state in order to sell handguns. H 4494 also brings South Carolina into conformity with federal law by allowing the sale of long guns in non-contiguous states to South Carolina residents.

That now makes 27 NRA backed bills that various states have enacted into law so far this year. The frontlash continues to roll. Yay!

[gejohnston]

1. 1970 law banning less expensive pistols,

passed only five years after their handgun ban was repealed. Another classist with partly Jim Crow intent bites the dust. Ironic a conservative signed it when it was a bunch of dreadful right wingers, who put that wretched rag called a flag, over the state house.

[bluerum]

2. They are just falling over themselves signing on to nra backed legislation.

[gejohnston]

3. Doesn't matter

or are you saying you support a law passed by the same people that put the Army of Northern Virginia flag above the state house? This law had nothing to do with social progress or public safety, it was all about race and class. Just like their handgun ban which did not apply to "special deputies" which included the Klan and company thugs? You are supporting an anti labor and racist law.

5. This forum doesn't belong on DU...eom

[gejohnston]

6. so you are supporting a law written by a bunch of racists?

We are talking South Carolina towards the end of Jim Crow.

[oneshooter]

8. Why is that?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. nice way to come into a group. Less than that will get you banned in some safe havens on here.

You Have a Nice Day now.

[friendly_iconoclast]

21. We do tend to attract the self-appointed zampolits/Guardians of Progressivism, don't we?

Apparently, the example of the de facto ongoing purges amongst Republicans has been ignored...

[Kolesar]

53. Are you for real?

Please tell me you are not for real.

[permatex]

54. That's the question we should be asking you.

If you don't like this group, then why come here and post your little snarky remarks?

[friendly_iconoclast]

73. Would you prefer to only hear from those you agree with?

If so, I would remind you of the remark attributed to Pauline Kael in the wake of Richard Nixon's reelection in 1972:
"But everyone I know voted for McGovern."

[Tuesday Afternoon]

78. No. Please tell me that YOU are not for real. Rudest post I have seen in a while. You realize that

you have the capability to trash this group if it annoys you that much.

If you doubt what I said about getting banned in safe haven groups...we can test that theory. Go post exactly what you said in the HoF group

This forum doesn't belong on DU...eom

let us just see what happens.

[PavePusher]

14. ...the fuck you say...? n/t

[permatex]

24. Why?

Because you don't like RKBA?

[Meiko]

25. Why

because people are discussing things YOU don't like. If you don't like it here then don't come here. The arrogance of some people is staggering.

[permatex]

30. Reminds me of a George Carlin routine several years ago

He was talking about some preacher who was trying to get a radio station shut down for something or the other, He said, Hey reverend, there are 2 knobs on the radio, one to turn it off, and one to CHANGE THE STATION, imagine that, you can turn it off or change the station.
This would apply to the poster.

[Clames]

27. This is a group, not a forum.

And you are wrong...

[Clames]

4. 800 degrees?

I would love to hear one logical, scientifically supported reason from our resident gun-control extremists what such a law would accomplish. I look forward to the laughs they will induce....

[gejohnston]

7. I'm looking forward the claims of

the law supported social progress and public safety, given the time and place it was written and passed.

[4th law of robotics]

74. Is it that they can't melt above or below that point?

Either way banning guns that don't melt at exactly that temperature is essential to preserving the safety of our children.

Why would civilians need such heat stable/labile weapons anyway?

[Hoyt]

9. Does it surprise anyone that So Carolina signed legislation backed by the right wing NRA?

[gejohnston]

10. does it surprise you that

a right wing governor signed a law that repealed a law written and passed by a bunch right wing racists?

[Hoyt]

11. My reading is that the new law is "good" for today's right wing racists. Why else would the

racist NRA support it? S Carolina has never done a darn thing for minorities, and likely never will.

[gejohnston]

12. since the NRA as a whole is not racist,

Ted Nugent's irrational rants aside, you made no valid point. When I was in SC in the early 1990s, it was more advanced than you give it credit for. Both of my kids were born in Sumter/Shaw AFB.

[Hoyt]

19. Norquist, Ollie North, John Bolton, bob barr and worse run NRA.

[gejohnston]

45. I thought you were talking about the general membership.

I'm sure you can find some serious dirt on anyone. What I wonder is if Ollie North like sitting next to Larry Craig now that is out of the closet?

[permatex]

90. Oliver North is a racist?

Since when? He's a RW POS, but I've never heard him utter a racist word yet. Perhaps you can provide a link to any racists comments.
Thanks.
He's also a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran, not that that has anything to do with this thread, just thought I would throw that out there.

[Hoyt]

92. His appearances on FOX and use of words like "boy" to describe Obama are proof enough for me.

You on the other hand . . . . . . .

Does that mean that you agree the other NRA board members are racist, right wing scum? Or, what is your rationale for supporting them?

[permatex]

93. I don't watch FAUX, why do you?

So, here we are again, show me the proof that I ever supported the management of the NRA.

[safeinOhio]

23. Name one Black big city mayor

with an A rating by the NRA? Name one that they donated money to? What percentage of the NRA membership is Black? If low, why? Why is the NRA trying to lynch a Black President and his Black AG? Why would a civil rights org like SPLC call out the NRA for inviting racist to speak?
UPDATE: Writing on the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog, SPLC senior fellow Mark Potok sharply criticized the NRA's decision to host Boykin:
The National Rifle Association (NRA) -- the powerful gun lobby that has called federal law enforcement agents "jack-booted thugs," accused President Obama of having secret plans to strip away Americans' guns, and been the main force behind the incredibly dangerous "Stand Your Ground" laws being used to justify the killing of Trayvon Martin -- is once again flaunting its political extremism.
This Sunday in St. Louis, the NRA plans to host retired Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin, a radical Islamophobe who has said there should be "no mosques in America," as keynote speaker of a prayer breakfast at its annual conference.

Any statements from the NRA leadership denouncing this?

and I'll show you an NRA A rating.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) -- the powerful gun lobby that has called federal law enforcement agents "jack-booted thugs," accused President Obama of having secret plans to strip away Americans' guns, and been the main force behind the incredibly dangerous "Stand Your Ground" laws being used to justify the killing of Trayvon Martin -- is once again flaunting its political extremism.

It was a time when the ATF was caught violating people's civil rights. That was during Poppy's term. The ATF is not the paragon of equal opportunity and harmony, so I don't know why you are defending the ATF. I'm sure NORML has some choice terms for the DEA.
Because he is a Democrat. The board of directors are full of assholes. They said roughly the same thing about Clinton, Kerry, and probably would say it about Mitt if the convention turns into a floor fight in Tampa.
As for Trayvon Martin, the phrase trial by media comes to mind. The media is almost always wrong when it comes to pre trial coverage. This happened after the Florida media electronically lynched Casey Anthony, a case where jurors had their lives threatened even though the DA could not even show cause or time of death. I'm more than skeptical and pretty cynical when it comes to the media. So, this SPLC guy based his opinion on some bullshit the media claimed. I really don't see this as a race issue. Some things are not about race even though they may look it on the surface. Sometimes what you think is smoke turns out to be evaporating dry ice. On the other hand, if it doesn't look it surface doesn't mean it isn't about race. Smoke does not always mean fire. Some fires are smokeless, or at least you can't see the smoke.
If Martin's parents didn't have the money for a lawyer to publicize it, there would be no outrage. If Martin were were a white kid from a trailer park wearing a purple Mohawk, Zimmerman would probably would have reacted the same way. The only difference would be no addresses would be tweeted. Most of the websites, left and right, would be "trailer trash got what he deserved". That is assuming it became a national story, which it wouldn't because trailer dwellers can't hire lawyers to send out media releases and attract ideologues. Yes, I am saying the left has our share of bigots. It is just a "respectable bigotry". They are more open about it, they just deny it. George Orwell noticed the same thing in the UK, about why the rural and working class did not embrace socialism. The left is more open about its classism. That is part of why working class whites vote Republican. That is something, as Democrats, we have to fix.
As far as I know, the NRA said nothing about Zimmerman or Martin. At least, not that I have seen. SYG is irrelevant anyway because he is not using SYG as a defense so far. If he were, there would be an immunity hearing scheduled or has taken place. As I understand the law, that means his defense will be under DTR rules. There is nothing dangerous about SYG. It has been law in several states and on the federal level before Florida.

To paraphrase a line in the movie "Big Jake", I thought they were dead. Maybe the NRA has, maybe they never heard of these guys either. I'm not on the NRA's mailing list, so I don't know. If the NRA did, I seriously doubt we would read about it in Think Progress. I'm cynical of all ideologies. The problem with ideologues, left and right, if the truth doesn't serve the purpose, it get omitted or distorted. I'm not a big fan of guilt by association.

Are you saying the FF investigation would not be happening if Holder was white? If this happened before the big shuffle, Timmy G. would the one in the hot seat. My problem with Holder has nothing to do with race and has preceded FF. He is a corporate defense lawyer that has done nothing about Wall Street banksters, the miners Massey Energy murdered by disconnecting safety equipment. Then there is BP. Ed Mese was a right wing asshole, but at least he went after the banksters during the savings and loan scandal. That makes about 20 working class hicks and rednecks that have yet to get justice. Why isn't Spike Lee and Roesanne Barr tweeting those executives' addresses? Because they are hillbillies and rednecks. They are the wrong sub culture, wrong economic class, and live in the wrong parts of the country.
Mike Papantonio has the same problem with Holder, does that make Pap a racist? Since most if not all of the victims on the oil rig and mine where white, does that make Holder a racist? It sounds like you are using the same logic. No, I don't think Holder is racist and I'm not saying he is. I do think he is classist corportist who doesn't give a rat's ass about workers of any race.

Am I saying the NRA doesn't have racists and regular assholes on the board? of course not. Most of the ones I have heard about are fucking nuts in more ways than one and they need to be purged. But does that mean they reflect the entire membership? I doubt it.

One last thing, to give you a clue where I'm coming from. Where I grew up, everything was integrated even in the bad old days. Most of the big US cities I have spent time in, were not destinations during the great migration. That means the inner cities are just as white bread, with maybe a few more undocumented folks, as the suburbs. I go to housing projects even in Tampa, I have found pretty much the same. When I was younger and less traveled, I tended to wonder if the media wasn't racist by portraying only blacks in the inner cities. My point is, I do not equate "inner city" with "black". "rural" does not always mean "white", especially in the south.

[Hoyt]

46. I doubt many are pro-gun. They recognize damage guns do. Gun culture just laughs.

Fact is, you guys are willing to overlook some vile things to protect your guns and spread them.

[HALO141]

57. Good post. n/t

[Spoonman]

66. Why does the New Black Panther Party

support the president?

By your standard, that would make President Obama a racist.

The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the NBPP as a "black racist" hate group.

(I don't belong to the NRA, I'm simply pointing out the ignorance on which you base your opinion)

[safeinOhio]

72. Where did they support him?

All I ever saw was that they were disappointed in the President.

The SPLC calls the KKK and the NBPP both hate groups.

[Hoyt]

76. The 7 members of the New Black Panther Party are just a myth, believed by right wing gun lovers.

[gejohnston]

79. someone is doing a good job in creating it.

http://www.cbpm.org/nbpp.html

And the real BPP is not amused or as dismissive, but certainly pissed off about using the name.
http://www.blackpanther.org/newsalert.htm

They might be RW false flag complete with website. They might be real. The SPLC the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation seems to think such a group exists.

I'll stay agnostic on the subject for now.

[Spoonman]

88. Of course they are.......

You are way smarter than anyone at the Southern Poverty Law Center, and we know they are nothing more than a right wing think tank.

Were you oxygen deprived at some point in your life?


http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/new-black-panther-party

The New Black Panther Party is a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers.

[Hoyt]

89. So, do you carry guns to "protect" yourself against this mythical bunch?

Out of all the despicable groups followed by SPLC, you are worried about a group that no one has really seen, and has never hurt anyone.

[permatex]

91. Mythical bunch?

So who was that a few months ago offering a bounty on G. Zimmerman, you know, the one where they said dead or alive?
Was that the "mythical bunch" you speak of?

Is there no limit to your hypocrisy?

[Spoonman]

96. hypocrisy or idiocy?

Hypocrisy would mean he had a conscious knowledge of reality.

I think he actually believes this shit.

[permatex]

97. I think you are right. nt.

[Spoonman]

95. Attempting to engage a raging delusional idiot in discourse

is something I will not do.

"It's just so damn hard to do, 'cause you expect them to stop when they
are made to look like an idiot.
But they ARE an idiot.
That's how they ALWAYS look.
So they don't know to stop."

Goodbye

[Kolesar]

55. NRA head: We have gun violence in America because of "all the races"

From the famous Charleton Heston scene in Bowling for Columbine

[gejohnston]

56. Thanks for making my point

Heston campaigned for Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in 1956 and John F. Kennedy in 1960.[23] Reportedly, when an Oklahoma movie theater premiering his movie El Cid was segregated, he joined a picket line outside in 1961.[24] Heston makes no reference to this in his autobiography, but describes traveling to Oklahoma City to picket segregated restaurants, much to the chagrin of Allied Artists, the producers of El Cid.[25] During the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom held in Washington, D.C. in 1963, he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr. In later speeches, Heston said he helped the civil rights cause "long before Hollywood found it fashionable."[26]

Even though he did swing to the right 15 years later, I doubt he swung that far.

[PavePusher]

15. That... was stunning in it's stupidity.

[Hoyt]

20. Gotta admit, that's funny.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. while it is good for them it is also good for everyone else.

sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. funny, how America works ain't it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. some facts for your perusal

As of the 2010 census, the racial make up of the state is 66.2% White (64.1% non-Hispanic white), 27.9% Black or African American, 0.4% American Indian and Alaska Native, 1.3% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 1.7% from two or more races. 5.1% of the total population was of Hispanic or Latino origin (they may be of any race).[36]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2009, South Carolina had an estimated population of 4,561,242, which is an increase of 57,962 from the prior year and an increase of 549,230, or 13.6%, since the year 2000. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 36,401 people, and migration within the country produced a net increase of 115,084 people. According to the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health, Consortium for Latino Immigration Studies, South Carolina's foreign-born population grew faster than any other state between 2000 and 2005.[37][38]

[Hoyt]

22. Ever gone from greenville to Asheville, the confederate flags are noticeable.

Bet most of them like "assault" weapons and such. Believe me, I know SC and my state.

[permatex]

26. Are you implying that those of us that own so called "assault weapons"

whatever the fuck those are, are racist? Are you? C'mon Hoyt, quit dancing around what you really mean, man up and just say it.

[Hoyt]

28. I'm saying racists like the damn things. Surely, you won't dispute that.

[permatex]

29. Racist like what?

the flag or the firearms? Because the way it came out sounded like those of us that own semi auto rifles are racist. I hope I'm wrong.

[Hoyt]

31. Now that you mention it, both. I'm saying, to make the few here content their

guns will always be close by, we have to allow an even larger group of hardened racists to arm up. Sometimes the liberal folks just have to give up things, like their beloved guns, for the good of society. I hope at some point you guys will sacrifice your guns because we don't need to make it easy for bigots/racists/etc to arm up.

[permatex]

32. An even larger group of hardened racists to arm up.

Thanks for revealing yourself.
Why do we have to give up an enumerated right? Because you don't think it's good for society? Who appointed you to determine whats good or not good for society?
I will never sacrifice my rights just because someone doesn't like it. I don't think your attitude toward legal gun owners is good for society so I hope you will sacrifice your 1A for the good of society because it makes it easy for bigots/racists/etc to spread their repugnant views.
See how blatantly fucking stupid that sounds?

[Hoyt]

33. As you like to say -- that was a "predictable non-response. "

[PavePusher]

35. So, we should also give up free speech, so that racists can't promote their ideas?

Hoyt, please take my advice: Stop your public self-fornication. It may be your "right" but it sure ain't "right".

[Hoyt]

36. Neither is toting. Heck, we prohibit cigarettes in most of public, but yahoos can carry guns.

Now, that's kind of ignorant -- don't you think!?

[permatex]

38. No, I don't think that's ignorant.

49 states, soon to be 50, have some form of CC, they don't think it's ignorant. Your on the losing end of the gun control issue.
Your blind hatred of gun owners, as evidenced by the numerous statements you've made, has so blinded you that you can't see the truth beyond your nose.
I just don't understand how someone can exude so much hate and still function.

[Hoyt]

39. "hate" is strapping on a gun before venturing out, shooting silhouette targets, etc.

[permatex]

40. Whatever you say Hoyt

we're done here.

[Meiko]

42. How can you relate

hate with carrying a gun for defense or shooting at paper targets. The silhouette targets are derived from the military and have been around forever, I have used several target designs but never considered doing so hateful in anyway. It's just a piece of paper.

[Hoyt]

44. That "piece of paper" is used to train shooting humans. Nice "hobby. "

[PavePusher]

47. You wail on about lack of training....

then you wail that people are training.

You are a wailer.

[Hoyt]

51. I don't think training on silhouette targets is the kind of gun training anyone should promote.

Training to shoot people is kind of sick, don't you think?

[HALO141]

60. No, it's not.

It's simply training. Cutting people up is also pretty grisly and sick but I don't hear anyone accusing surgeons of being sick.

It's not what you do, necessarily, but how and why you do it that makes all the difference.

[Hoyt]

61. So, why do you train shooting people here in America? This isn't a war zone, well except in some

folks' mind.

[HALO141]

69. To stop the threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. n/t

[Hoyt]

80. What threat?

[HALO141]

84. Please restate the question.

[PavePusher]

64. Well, if someone is ever in a situation where they have to shoot someone....

it would be nice if they were trained to do so, so as to minimise chances of any collateral damage.

Something else you wail about.

Hoyt, you have something in common with Oroboros: Your "logic" is circular and you keep biting your own hind end.

One would think you'd tire of the pain after a while.....

[friendly_iconoclast]

102. And there it is- another endorsement of willful ignorance from our Hoyt....

[Meiko]

86. No

it's used to train shooters, the military type. What else would they be shooting at, gophers. There are many target styles available today and many can be downloaded for free off the internet. Just because a person uses a certain type of target that does not mean the shooter is being malicious with the exception of targets with real peoples faces on them. These kind of targets are a bit weird and not even allowed at many ranges. I don't know anyone who uses them.

[Hoyt]

87. This is not a war zone. But some in the gun culture take that view.

[permatex]

94. And those in the anti gun culture

constantly insult, belittle, lie, and distort our views.
But ya know what?
Doesn't matter. Ya know why?
Because we have facts and a winning record and in the end, that's all that really counts.

[HALO141]

98. Really? Who?

[DonP]

99. Not a war zone? - Gee, that'll be news to Rahm in Chicago

He's got more people dying on his streets every week than we have dying in Afghanistan now. A 12 and 13 year old girl were shot day before yesterday and a 7 year old was buried.

And all that with not a single legal concealed carrier in the whole state.

Maybe they got the guns from Georgia? I hear their gun control sucks and no one does anything about it.

Funny how I haven't seen one post from you expressing your heartfelt "concern" about the steady stream of deaths in Chicago, after 30 or 40 posts about Trayvon Martin/Zimmerman? Why is that?

But then again, that's just one minority shooting another, some people don't seem to give a damn about that, since it's harder to use to promote your gun ban/gun control agenda.

[permatex]

100. Well said Sir.

[HALO141]

71. Yeah, but

you can't deny those zombie targets are designed to foster bigotry towards and hatred for the undead!

[Meiko]

34. Some racists probably

like pizza too, what's your point. Not every gun owner is a racist and not every racist is a gun owner.

[Hoyt]

37. Racists use guns to intimidate. Pizza, not as dangerous.

[Meiko]

41. Yes they do

sometimes. They have other ways to do it as well, but not every gun owner is a racist. The only pizza I would consider truly dangerous would be Papa Johns, stuff's horrible.

[ileus]

49. Pizza and pizza related components kill lots of Americans every year.

Ask any RD/LD

[Hoyt]

50. When you start strapping one on to venture out into public, we can discuss here.

[permatex]

52. What we or I strap on to venture out into public

really is none of your business. If I want to CC, that really and truly is none of you concern or business. Besides, how would you know if someone is minding their own business while carrying concealed? What, do you frisk everyone you suspect of carrying, do you call the police, do you hold them until the police arrive? Do tell.

[Hoyt]

58. Yes, it is my business and every other citizens' too. We don't need people like this walking around

in public.

&feature=related

[HALO141]

62. Again... No, it's not.

Just because you feel compelled to insinuate yourself into everyone else's business and pressure them to adopt your value system doesn't mean you have the right to do so.

[permatex]

67. Despite what you may think or believe

it really is none of your business. I've got to wonder why you've had so many problems with the CC people you've met?
Judging by your attitude here, it's no wonder you have run ins. Quit being a dick towards other people minding their own business and I'll bet that other people will quit being a dick towards you.

Ya know, jus sayin.

[GreenStormCloud]

81. What's wrong with the video?

His information is accurate.

[Meiko]

101. People like what?

I watched the video, what's the big deal. As an instructional video it is somewhat amateurish but I don't see anything wrong with knowing about different firearms and ammo options. People need to be educated. It's the untrained uneducated CCW holder that represents a possible danger in my opinion. Everyone who carries should have training and be proficient with the weapon they are carrying, simple stuff.

[PavePusher]

85. Both can burn you. n/t

[HALO141]

59. Ya know, Hoyt...

If you'd make a genuine effort to limit your unfounded supposition you (and everyone else) would be a lot happier.

[gejohnston]

82. Ever been to Columbia,

Sumpter, and Florence? I saw few if any. A couple of people around here on the other hand......................

Either way, the law this one repealed was written and passed by those with that very same mentality.

[Hoyt]

83. Been there too often. I think "Borat" pretty much nailed the frat boys at Unv South Carolina.

[permatex]

18. And your reading of it would be wrong

as usual. All that happened is that outdated laws were repealed.

[4th law of robotics]

75. Only by banning guns that melt at a specific temperature can we hope to fix the racial scars

that plague this country.

MLK said something about inappropriately melting guns in his Dream speech. I can't remember it at the moment but rest assured it's in there and it's pivotal to the civil rights movement.

[Remmah2]

48. Maybe the S.Carolina Gov trolls in the Gungeon.

[HALO141]

63. Hahah

When he signed it he was probably thinking, "boy, this'll really put a knot in Hoyt's panties."
