    Watched that skit many times but laugh my ass off each time. Sad it's true but just frames the state of mind.

    All pro gun folks watch it.

    Hey I watch fox from time to time just in case they have a point.

    With this picture... the side arguing for sweeping gun legislation wins!

    A freaking home run!

    One of the stupidest pictures I've ever seen. This is the type of picture that would typically be a spoof. Is it? If it is... the debate can continue. If not... it's over.

    Michigan girl, 7, killed and mother wounded by family friend - NY Daily News
    http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/michigan-girl-7-killed-mother-wounded-family-friend-article-1.2456288

    Timothy Nelson Obeshaw had a valid concealed pistol license and a legal weapon, and is believed to have shot the mother and daughter

    Guns don't kill people

    Older white male gun owners with legally purchased and registered guns kill people.

    I could be wrong, but I think she's the one who had a campaign ad, which I watched on line, in which she said something about "taking aim" at the (platform of) her opponent which then cut to her firing a gun. The context reasonably suggested violence toward him. Certainly a prize legislator.

    Such a classy choice for a Christmas photo...I think if Trump got elected he would hang it in the Oval Offfice, it's really that classy.

    u got into a fight..or u hate someone..the blood is under your head..
    and in the moment,,u say..ill kill the son of the bitch....and u go home and take your gun which u have cos its legal..and easy to find..and return and u shoot the asshole..
    thats one scenario
    let take another scenario..

    u got into a fight..or u hate someone..the blood is under your head..
    and in the moment,,u say..ill kill the son of the bitch....and u go home ..and u dont have any gun..,and u cant find one,,and u dotn have money to buy one.and u are not allowed to buy one.,.and u start thinking..where to find a gun..?what to do?and if they caugh me with illigal gun before i shoot him??
    let take a moment..lets think about it...
    thats exactly the time u may need to cool things off and u not become a murderer
    was a fuckin bad moment,.lets cool itr off,,lets forget the asshole..lets calm..,no need to be fatal...
    maybe a few lifes would be saved ..just cos someone didnt have access to any gun at the heat of the moment..

    They had PLENTY of time to plant the 3 bomb/IED's that didn't go off or the stash of them that were in their house.

    They must have been angry for a while then...
    Sure..im talkimg in general..not those 2

    More is not necessarily better. That guy is a moron and he should have his license revoked at the very least.

    But this is the thing that begs tighter regulations: morons run rampant.

    If you could centralize the morons and let the morons act like morons in Moronville... no intervention necessary; however, as it stands, morons are strewn about everywhere doing moroinic things while they moron about among people with half a brain.

    I'd even say the moron is the majority.

    Maybe an IQ test as part of a background check?

    "Hey Cletus... didjya git ur gun?"
    "Nah, Jim Bob Cooter. I couldn't git it. The folks at that der office building gave me some sort of test that said I couldn't. I reckon I'll go git mahself one of dem der slingshots."
