and maybe if these anti gun folks would just stay away from American gun owners and thier guns they might find something more constructive to do with thier lives rather than just whine all the time.

Forget it.
You're right: people who argue for gun control suck.

Oh sweet irony.unsung said:I'm curious about whether or not those that would prefer we do away with the 2nd Amendment would also prefer to do away with the 1st.
The staunch Republicans that so vociferously defend your precious 2nd Amendment are the same ones who are going out of their way to trample all over 1st Amendment Rights:
You wanna gun? Come on down to the show and pick one up!
You wanna vote? Poll tax, please!0 -

Ug...The Daily Caller? No wonder why your world view is so skewed.unsung said:
There's a vast difference between recommending comfortable shoes for a march, and requiring ID at the voting polls. I'm thinking they are probably recommending carrying ID because when a bunch of black people get together and start protesting shit, police get antsy and have a tendency to start arresting/beating/spraying/shooting people. Let's hope we don't see that level of 'enforcement' at the voting polls in a few weeks. But I digress....would you have felt better if they recommended everyone attending the march bring their guns with them instead?0 -

Why does the desire for reasonable gun laws have the same meaning (to you) as "do away with the 2nd Amendment?"unsung said:I'm curious about whether or not those that would prefer we do away with the 2nd Amendment would also prefer to do away with the 1st.
Surely you must acknowledge that the interpretation of the 2nd Amendment has gone a little far.

I'm impressed, straight from denial to acceptance! Maybe I didn't give you enough credit. You may want to go back and revisit anger, bargaining and depression, though. They're all ppretty critical steps in the recovery process.Godfather. said:

When you don't adhere to the Constitution, Gun laws become the responsibility of the federal government.
Given the results we've seen and experienced, perhaps they haven't gone far enough.0 -

You hate ISIS and yet you have no problem with them using american ammo? You think those opposed to arming terrorists need to whine less and be more constructive?Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
If I heard an anesthesiologist used a hammer instead of some kind of drug that is readily at his disposal, I would definitely consider it an odd choice, lol.unsung said:So you would have posted on the subject all the same, right?
I mean, if he had used a hammer. You'd have definitely let us know? Or would it not be sensationalist enough and not fit the agenda?

Our next-door neighbor owns a successful local auto body repair and restoration shop. Good guy, works hard.
Three nights ago, he was robbed at gunpoint. The asshole, wearing a mask and gloves, stuck the gun to his head, made him lie on his stomach, tied him up, stole his watch. Just the watch. Guessing he'd been observed for awhile.
He told me people asked him if he had a gun or was considering getting one, and he said no. It would have done nothing in this situation.
Didn't even report it to the police - one, the guy was masked, but even if caught, he didn't want retribution (they know where he works).
Fucked up.
Not as much as what went down today in CA and WA, but still.Post edited by hedonist on0 -
Even the company who builds those armored vehicle things say that they shouldn't be on the street if not for the reason that its excessive force for the fact that they tear up the street and they are top heavy making them a danger to the public since they flip over too often. I believe the national guard doesn't even allow them on their bases for those reasons. Driving one of these around in US cities is like having the gestapo run the ticket booth at Disney Land. It doesn't help anything, it perpetuates fear and its a huge step backwards.Jason P said:
