Yeah (none / 0)

I don't really give a shit I just find the absurdist extremes of the NRA annoying mostly.

Do you know who does care?

Women, particularly mothers.  Do you know who votes on this?  Gun nuts and moms.  What do you think there are more of?

38% of people want more gun control.  48% say its about right as is.  11% want less.  Like I said, I don't care that much but I find it hilarious that the trolls think this is a big electoral win for them.  I guess the Dems are gonna lose the gun nut vote now.

About right (none / 0)
The reason the numbers are as you claim is that the NRA and pro constitutionalist have won for the most part.  True we've lost CA and NJ and a few other locations, but for the most part we're willing to conceed those losses and simply never move to those places.  For the most part we're fine with the way things are, but will fight like hell against the 38% miniority that believe an overprotective nanny state can protect them from the bad man with a gun (and that the state will never become the bad man with the gun).

So the big bad 11% minority is going to fight against the "38% miniority", huh?

you should know that 48+11= 59 which is the percentage of Americans that DON'T want more gun control!  My state already allows me to own this... 



and carry these....



I dont' need any LESS gun control, I just don't want any more!

Again, if you're afraid to break a simple gun law, how are you going to fight the state?

That is an awesome point! (none / 0)
I live in Texas.  Believe me, if the government is trying to prevent people who don't like them from stockpiling a large amount of weaponry I can tell you from personal experience they are failing spectacularly.

Pay attention (none / 0)
The issue at hand is less gun control, not more.  The SC ruled for less.  Follow along.

false argument (none / 0)
you posted statistics in general about how americans felt about gun control (likely in their own cities and states).  If you were to ask them if they wanted DC style gun restrictions where they live I'd be willing to bet my left nut that the numbers would be WAY different.  Try having Obama propose renewal of the "assault weapons" ban and see what his poll numbers do.

That wouldn't hurt him (none / 0)

The reason gun control doesn't seem so bad is the notion that we should all be allowed to have AK-47s, howitzers and cluster bombs and shit really only comes up when no one but the gun nuts is paying attention.

I remember Rosie O'Donnel's million mom march.  It blew away the million man march in attendance.

WOMEN DON'T LIKE GUNS.

I know you don't get it. But seriously, ask yourself, how much do you (or me or any of us guys) really know about women?

have a discussion on this forum that doesn't eventually involve you telling us all how virile you are?  I suspect it's one of those "all hat, no cattle" situations that you Texans talk about.

stand up for their principals. Punk bitches brag about themselves behind the safety of a keyboard even when they admittedly live in their daddy's shadow.

Which are you?

Right, OK.

Whatever you say Ken. I think your dad needs his car washed this weekend so you better start preparing.

You don't want to disappoint him now, do you?

Would a lesbian marry such a tough and viral man?

He is even an ex high school football hero. Just ask him, he will tell you.

However, he is not half the football hero his Dad was.

I bet a lot of the military wives do--that's how I first began shooting; I had a boyfriend who was an Army Ranger a loong time ago in college.  I have two girlfriends that hunt for meat.  Both are liberals, sorry Ken.

Glad to hear it (none / 0)
I think a lot of the problem is fear of the unknown.  I have taken 2 of my wife's friends (both liberals) to the range with me and both enjoyed themselves and came back with a better appreciation for shooting sports.

so true (none / 0)

Just stick a mini-14 in their hands and let them blast away and you have instant gun nuts. 

I don't kill animals with them though.  I leave that to my girlfriends and hope I can get some meat from them.
