NC to Encourage Women Seeking TROs to Get Guns
posted by Matt on 08:39 AM August 28th, 2005
Domestic Violence Anonymous User writes "North Carolina wants to issue guns with their restraining orders. Bad enough throwing guns into a volatile situation, if we didn't know already that a huge percentage of restraining orders are falsified to get the man out of the house and get the upper hand in a divorce. The Gov has until Oct 1 to veto. How about sending him a letter? Story link here."

Only to women? (Score:2)

The only problem is it looks like only women will be isued guns. Yet last year over 10% of deaths were men. So are the men who are abused left with nothing, or are the women going to be able to falsify abuse to get the gun then get off scott free for killing their 'abusive' husband in self defence? While this scenario is not going to happen frequently, it will happen often enough to make this not viable.

Geez, what next, just execute any alleged abuser?

Aren't men presently forbidden from buying a gun if they have a TRO filed against them? Seems like police have been fighting this restriction because they can no longer carry a weapon if they've been accused of DV.

This sounds to me like a license to kill.

Yep.
As I've said before, steadily women are becoming the "007 gender". 'licensed to kill.'

Come to think of it, they already have a license to kill. This measure will just help them exercise that right.

North Carolina?

The swine farm capitol of the world?

Am I the only one who hears a banjo and the theme song from "Deliverance" playing in the state's legislature?

They should give women guns only after they solve the real sexual abuse problem in that neighborhood ...

Can pigs hire lawyers?

America's war on men is reaching a new height, and here's how it will work to perfection.

#1 First the woman lies, and gets the man locked up so the man has his gun(s) taken away.

#2 While he's in jail, she gets a gun,

#3 then when he gets out she calls him, tells him all is well, invites him over, pumps 12 rounds into him, puts a kitchen knife in his hand, then says he's a batterer who was coming after her.

It will work everytime in gender feminist, Nazi America.

The fems tried that nonsense in NY State about 15 years ago, only then it was mace. The outlawed substance was to be allowed only to women...so they could feel safe on the streets. But this beats that by a mile. It's right up there with Archie Bunker's suggestion that airlines had out guns to passengers to prevent hijacking.

Lord Acton said, "Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Absolute Power

...and here is a little more the writings and history of Lord Acton

Here's a good article on Angry Harry's site, Feminism Demands the Right to Dominate , where the term "absolute power corrupts absolutely," is used.

There is this from Machevelli - It is much safer to be feared than loved

"Louis XI* would agree with Machevelli. Louis XI was called the Aterrible king@. He used cruel methods to keep his power and was very successful. His goal was to break the power of the nobles and he was able to do so. He made and broke whatever laws pleased him. He passed extreme taxes. Louis XI was able to set the stage for future kings to have absolute power because he was feared."

Good article, that.
And yes it is true that the feminists want to take away the right of free speech from, not just MRA's, but men as a whole.
The trouble is (and the feminists seem not to realise this,) but where free speech ends is usually where wars begin...,

I based my previous "license to kill" comment on the initial post, but after reading the article, it seems the legislation merely requires the courts to give women instructions on how to apply for a concealed gun permit, which I assume all North Carolina citizens already have a right to do.

I still don't like it since I feel that it encourages violence and seems to sanction future violence, but it's not like the government is issuing guns to all women who apply for a TRO nor authorizing the automatic issuuance of a gun permit to all these women regardless of their background.

But then again, maybe this is just the first step.

Suppose we push for legislation to restrict women who file for TRO's or a divorce from purchasing or even owning a gun based on their involvement in such an emotional situation.

Why issue guns to women who are arguably not in control or in an emotionally "explosive" (pun intended) situation.
