OT: Guns
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children what's that sound Everybody look what's goin down "For What It's worth" Steven Stills 1966 Catmando signature...... Guns don't kill PEOPLE kill. Leave a gun on the table, does it jump up and shoot.:eek: |
Ummmm. Have you heard this song. It has very little to do with guns.
:rolleyes: To quote another on the board, "Please don't tease the cat." |
It's a protest song from the mid 60's.
From Buffalo Springfield: For What it's Worth There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down |
Hey, I think everybody should be armed, after the bloodbath ended, we'd be a lot more civil and kind to each other.

A gun NEVER killed anyone...

You can pry my guns from my cold dead hands...
The first major change Hitler made was to disarm all of the citizens...look where that led... |
I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Ted Kennedy's car has killed more than all my guns combined.

I believe that that song was written about the Kent State University in Ohio. The incident where National guardsmen were ordered to open fire on students protesting the Vietnam War. They actually killoed innocent civilians that day. It was a sad day for America.
It has nothing to do with guns or gun control. |
:confused: :confused: :confused:

ErieDesire,
I think you maybe thinking OHIO, or as some call it 4 dead in OHIO. Written by David Crosby the same day it happened. Recorded the next day by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Released two days later. Over & Out, Dano |

Over & Out, Dano Again -- Don't tease the cat, or he (like Israel;) ) has the right to defend himself, and we will end up with another winter of far-right vs. far-left political threads. I don't think I can go through that crap again.:drool: :drool: :drool: |
I stand corrected.
Here is what I found on the meaning of this song: "The band's only major hit was 1967's "For What It's Worth". The song remains one of the finest protest anthems of the 60s, and exemplified the phenomenon of the "right song at the right time'. Stills" plaintive yet wry and lethargic plea for tolerance was written after the police used heavy-handed methods to stop a demonstration outside a club, Pandora's Box, on Sunset Strip in 1966. They were protesting about the curfew times imposed. The chorus of "Stop children, what's that sound everybody look what's going down" became an anthem for west coast students in their protests against the government." From VH-1's website. |
Gun control will only take the guns from law biding citizens:mad:
The exact people who SHOULDN'T have them , still will:rolleyes: I kinda agree with Formula 31;) |
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Someone needs to start a poll on this subject. There are two current threads on this subject right now. I'm actually surprised at the fact that everyone is staying civil and curtious so far with their responses. Unusual for this kind of subject.
