nice one.
i havent seen much of it, but if old cock smoker bush slid in gun rights during his message concering this tragedy, then he is an even bigger piece of shit then even I though
do these fuckers have any class at all?0 -
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Man, and here I was thinking all this outrage was something original at first.........
We must have some Stephen Schlesinger readers here.
Wait for it......."Reports have surfaced that the Bush White House knew in advance of the gunman's plot to go on a shooting spree at the Virginia Tech campus on Monday. Nothing was done, so that attention would be diverted from the Gonzales hearing. This is not a conspiracy theory. It makes perfect sense, you dumb/blind/stupid/(other pejorative terms) money/power-hungry Conservative whores."
Step awaaaay from the Huffington Post or Daily Kos, people.......0 -

You're way off base dude. You don't even have any idea what my views are on gun control. I just thought it was extremely offensive and moronic to bring up a political issue where it didn't belong. It just proved to me once again that this President doesn't have a clue and lacks common sense and decency.one foot in the door

What's more pathetic is your misinterpretation of what I said. It has nothing to do with Bush. If God had said the same thing, I would have been horrified.one foot in the door

You probably don't. You need to watch his show "Spirit of the Wild". He needs to not smell as to not alert the animals.0 -

he knows it's a vote winner... he's as thick as his electorateoh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.0 -

First thanks for putting words in my mouth. Secondly each side of this issue will use this tragedy as a political tool which to me is disgusting. The only way top prevent this type of incident from happening is to sompletely eliminate the production of fire arms. Even with the strictest of gun control laws illegal fire arms still make out on the street and people still get killed. For all we know the student that did this bought those fire arms illegally."When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads." - Ron Paul0 -

And you think that eliminating the production of fire arms can be achieved independently of politics? Of course it's a political issue. This is what we elect and pay the fuckers for. They are there to implement and enforce the will of the people, or so we're lead to believe. Incidents like this should be seen to be catalysts for change. The alternative is to do nothing and carry on as normal, like you did after Columbine, e.t.c, e.t.c.0 -
the most ironic thing about this debate is it's distance from reality. nobody suggests a logical solution; they only throw personal opinions back and forth.
americans will always have guns.
1) every oath of office requires the oathee to swear to protect the constitution. failure to do so is an impeachable offence.
2) should congress try to remove this right; armed americans will protect the constitution.
3) as of 2005; 23 states issue conceiled weapons permits and an additional 11 agree to respect that permit in their jurisdiction. thus; passing of any legislation is impossible.
4) the supreme court has always upheld the second ammendment and the right of a citizen to protect himself. this right includes the right to protect oneself against the government.
based on these facts; the only logical solution is education. if laws stopped crime; we'd be a crime free society.0 -

1) if the constitution is amended, then that oath would no longer protect the 2nd amendment.
2) if the constitution is amended, it would not be congress who removed that right and these armed americans would be conidered what they are: crazy militia terrorists who would be hunted down and jailed for breaking the law.
3) you're right, as of now, there is nowhere near enough popular support to amend the constitution so this is all moot. but this kind of public discourse and a repeated pattern of tragedies like this might change public sentiment. we shall see. in the meantime, people's right to talk about their ideas and opinions RE the guns is ALSO a constitutionally protected one.
4) scotus has upheld the 2nd amendment, but it has also upheld reasonable restrictions on guns. also, again, if the constitution was amended, scotus would stop protecting guns becos it upholds the constitution as it is written. it cannot deny gun rights becos it is in the constitution and if it was not in the constitution, it could do what it damn well pleased with guns.0
