Remember when they gave the guns back to the Iraqi army because they had *2nd Amendment rights*.Remember when they passed out toy guns to small children in Harlem against the wishes of the parents.These are not normal crazy people they live on another planet. You can't use any buttons but the one big taxi yellow zombie buzzer switch.

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." AKA "You can't prove a negative, so BOMBS AWAY!"

If you're talking about murder, 30,000 is an exaggeration.

In 2008, there were <i>only</i> 14,299 murders. Of those, about 9,500 were by firearm. And of those about 6,500 were by handgun.

States with least restrictive gun laws ("red states" for lack of a better distinction) tend to have higher murder rates. Staying with 2008, Texas had 5.6 murders per 100K population, my state of Connecticut had 3.5. <a href="http://www.census.gov/compe..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2011/table...">http://www.census.gov/compe... <a href="http://www.deathpenaltyinfo..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-rates-nati...">http://www.deathpenaltyinfo...

The NRA and gun crowd -- who I assume love "the plain language of the Constitution" -- ignore the "well-regulated" part of the Second Amendment. They also characterize the Second Amendment as a means for "the people" to restrain the government.

But the Founding Fathers weren't worried about our own government. They wanted militias as a means to protect the new United States from foreign interference. The nation was weak, physically isolated and with (very) limited military capacity. Surrounded by English, Spanish and French colonies.

And these warnings are always calls to SEND THE NRA MORE MONEY!

Wasn't that was Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said?

Just how is it that the head of a "non-profit" organization can advocate not voting for a specific candidate?

Meanwhile, that really made me uncomfortable!

Not his silly ass rantings.

The way he twitched from side to side like a four-year-old about to pee in his pants.

LUB:

Prior to WW II, two Jewish fellows were sitting on a park bench in Berlin. One was reading the Jewish newspaper. The other was reading the Nazi rag.

"Why are you reading what the Nazis wrote?" he asked his friend.

"Well, when I read the Jewish newspaper its all about the terrible things happening in Germany. We're powerless - we don't have a chance.

"When I read the Nazi newspaper, Jews run the world."

You know what I have always loved about the NRA idiots? They are all on a nice neatly typed list that is divided up into zip codes and of course there are the gerrymandered election district maps with the special little marks on the houses generated by that fancy election software you can buy for a couple of large pizzas and a small bag of coke.

That's not any crazier than the Tea Party complaining about Obama raising taxes.

Does the fact that I actually have a chalk board in my dwelling make me a LINO? I've never thought to use it to parse wingtard logic. And doing so would mean erasing my grocery list, which seems a more reasonable use for an old childhood toy since a girl and her MisterBarry gotta eat.

I'm not worried. I've wrapped all my guns in tin foil.

That's unfair. This crowd <i>never</i> asks questions, before or after.
