Another massacre, this time 5-10 year old school children...

[Uncle Ron]

Ron I have been to several shooting ranges and they are not $10 anymore, that must have been a long time ago.
I said do not take it personal because even though I do not post on here all the time I do read it often. You take offense and act like a little kid anytime someone does not agree with you and when you are proven wrong you never admit it you just pull out the I was playing devils advocate thing. I am done with this topic and have a good day Ron as you need one if everytime someone get shot you take it personal.

Ok, so the poor can't afford to go to gun ranges or join hunt clubs, big deal. Many will continue doing what they've been doing all along, home made ranges and the like.
In the scenario I presented a few posts ago, I didn't get into the weeds of how these establishments would be operated, but applying a "little bit" of logic would suggest to make participating affordable for everyone. Poor people without a place to fire their guns even though they really can't afford the bullets - done. Next...

Here we go again, another name caller.
If someone doesn't agree, then we don't agree. Since you apparently read some of my posts, one thing that stands out is my use of "to each their own". That's not acting like a kid, in part that's recognizing that we have differences. I think you're just pissed because I spoke out and made possibly more sense than your seemingly off the cuff remarks.
I'm glad you are done with this topic, because I don't appreciate name calling. Quite juvenile, wouldn't you agree? Wait for it.......................................
Lastly, EVERYONE should take it personal when anybody gets shot. What the hell's the matter with YOU? Ok, blame it on someone or something in your past, or culture, or video games, or movies, or music, or whatever, but in the end there's nobody left to blame but oneself - desensitized to a point that when people get shot, the opinion is "so what"?. Shame that you would be the last to know, but that's usually the case with (...............................)!
Peace to all...

Nimrod...so you know your comments directed at me are BS. No worries...

No, I don't. I was just leveling my opinion, as were you. No BS, just a comment on your ridiculous, dramatic statement. Like you said, no worries.

K...
Ridiculous and dramatic, perhaps at times... I prefer that over being inept and pathetic any day. (not directed at you)

...and now this - http://news.yahoo.com/parents-hesitant- ... 57889.html
I urge all American citizens to inquire as to where your elected officials stand on this proposal.
There are some that already support it... guess who and from where?
This is not good, and nothing good will come of it. Imagine being a student in an elementary school with armed guards patrolling the halls, randomly searching you and your book bag, locker, and anything else they want.
What of the false alarms? Oh yes, there will be plenty, to think otherwise is ignorant.
These false alarms, not so good for the psyche of a 5-10 year old.
...... there I go again being ridiculous and dramatic

I can always hope that those we entrust with our safety and security will do what is best for all.
God have mercy on our souls...

hunting? Is it necessary? If your answer is yes (hard to imagine, but then I am a city slicker) - eat what you kill, at least there is an amount of dignity in that.

In some states hunting is practically a necessity. I used to live in Wisconsin, and anyone who lives there will tell you they have a shit ton of deer. They cause alot of car accidents running across the interstates and highways, sometimes fatal accidents. I can't imagine how many accidents would have been caused through the years if the population had been allowed to multiply without hunting. Also about 12 years ago there was an outbreak of chronic wasting disease among the deer population in Wisconsin and hunters were granted special licenses to kill as many deer as possible. In that case hunting was probably a necessity to stop the spread of the disease.

The NRA proposal is laughable, imo. They suspend their social media for a week, huddle up, and that's all they can respond with...putting loaded weapons even closer to the kids that are supposed to be protected? Bah.

The NRA are wing-nut jobs with their own agenda.


I sponsor getting medieval on their asses, and surround our schools with moats. Besides the obvious security, they work wonders on class-cutting/attendance issues, too. Time to get Groundskeeper Willie an Everglades-style air boat for maintaining the crocodile-filled moat. Gives the 4-H kids something new to do.

Btw, I have a poster of King Hammurabi in my bedroom. Big fan of his code.

[Adamster]

Every american is guilty of this crime it's the fault too all american this happen ...American think its cool to have gun that shoot 50 bullets a second (or whatever the amount) do you need too shot 50 bullet to kill a deer pr other when hunting?

One thing that got to me thta the guy from the NRA said...
If someone breaks in your house at 3am wouldnt you be happy that someone had a gun to save you from...< yeah shoot someone for self defense on your own proprety in 49 states is this illegal and you go to jail and probably longer then the guy who broke in your home!

NRA memeber are mostly idiots who think gun are cool thing!!

Putting cop or soldier in school you fucking joking?
This is what will happen or


then things lead too ...


and thing turn into ...


then thing can end like this ...
(what is a cop to do when 1000's of naked students are coming they way)


What was this about again? oh Fuck Gun!! Gun Bad!!Gun Causes people to hurt and kill!! Banned all Bullets!!

[redeyezman]

I predict a war on guns would be as successful as the war on drugs. Same concept, and premise. Same results: Cheaper, strong, and more avilable.

...and now this
(CNN) -- At least two firefighters were killed when they were shot after arriving to battle a blaze at a house in upstate New York on Monday, officials said.

this debate can go on for years as it has, but imo i would rather have a weapon then a cop, since most only shoot their weapons once a year to qualify, imo the police in these days and ages need to practice, with there weapon, learn about them, ffs most cant even clean or nmaintain their own weapon,

I would like cops without weapons

Maybe taser or tranquilizer nothing more..

But of course I believed that we were moving into an evolved society...
So clearly I am out of touch!

Thousands of Americans want Piers Morgan deported for his "opinion" against guns.
http://omg.yahoo.com/news/thousands-sig ... 37563.html

A slippery slope fallacy perhaps - the next logical step is to demand the exile of American-born citizens for voicing their opposition to guns or anything Blood Red, God White, or Patriot Blue. Anyone have doubts? One mechanism would be to use the US PATRIOT ACT. Habeas corpus is nothing but a corpse.
How many versions of the Constitution and Bill of Rights (with Amendments) are there? More importantly - whose interpretation do we follow?
Too many interpretations (shit house lawyers as mostly to blame), and when the mass(hysteria) media gets into the mix - lets deport anyone who speaks out against (fill in the blank).
Many Americans preach about their Freedoms and how everyone in the world should enjoy them, unless you come to the US and voice your opinion against something like guns.
Does anyone else see the hypocrisy as I do?
I would like to sit down with the 31,000+ people who signed the petition. I would start with the 1st Amendment and ask them what it is and what it means. Then I would continue on to the 2nd, and so on. I think many here know where this leads - Jaywalking (a skit on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno).
I love my country and what it (supposedly) stands for, doesn't mean I have to like some or all of the people.

[Nimrod]

Just a hunch, but those 31,000+ petition signers are likely the exact same people who signed a petition for Texas to secede from the Union.

[spidergawd]

Ah mate, these online petitions are pointless, clicking the mouse is the new protesting, it's too easy. I'm surprised that only 31,000 had responded.

I cant stand Morgan personally because he was an 80s/90s Rupert Murdock crap peddler of the most obnoxious kind. .

The 2nd Amendment protects the 1st tho, does it not Ron? I am all for people's freedom of speech (this is how the west burrow church operates....the reason they say the things they do is so people attack them, then simple court defense of freedom of speech, and boom their lawyers make $$$$) but what is this notion of COMING to the US to VOICE against our ways? WTF is that? If you don't like what we got, then don't come? The only hypocrisy i see in that is the unwanted nation building we do...which is done under a total guise, but that is another thread....

In a different thread someone mentioned the obligatory "It's over 200 years old! The constitution has no place in this new 21st century!" ...........following that notion lets just consider all knowledge that was discovered 200+ years ago obsolete so:

Reading, writing, mathematics, physics, art, gravity, cannabis......the list goes on....you see how foolish this notion is.....

I agree with you, in part, I don't like it when someone wants to change our way of life, but this was an opinion. Let me reiterate - an opinion.
Piers Morgan didn't just come here, he's been here for quite some time.
Next, he works for CNN, a commentator and host. I'm not sure how that fits with the 1st Amendment...
As far as I know, it was not/is not his intention to use CNN as a platform to complain about our way of life.
This all started during an interview where he stated his opinion, again - an opinion.

"The only hypocrisy i see in that is the unwanted nation building we do...which is done under a total guise, but that is another thread...."
Not another thread, this is what it's all about... we go to other countries and force feed them some warped sense of democracy (I should know, I was a tool that did just that). We can dish it out, we just can't take it when it lands on our shores.
Who would scream the loudest if this were to happen to an American in another country? Yup, Americans but more specifically, the media followed closely by the politicians. They would be screaming foul, that in the good ole' US of A, this would never happen to a foreign correspondent/journalist/talk host/etc.... Wanna bet it already hasn't? A little light reading and you will find a few examples to which I speak.
Hypocrisy, you bet, in spades.

I happen to agree with most what he said in that interview. BTW, have you seen it? How about the rest of you who have an opinion on the matter?
Does this warrant deportation? Before anyone answers, take a look at who the US is currently allowing to live within it's borders. Here's a hint - think dictators, generals, etc... of regimes that murdered thousands. As I stated and will now do so again - he gave his opinion. This hypocrisy so bold and brash it amazes me that people aren't blinded by it, or maybe that's the problem, people have - it's called the Sheeple Principle.
Is this who we have become? The man voiced his opinion...

Spidergawd, I realize you are English, so you get a permanent Mulligan.
This is so much more than just about an online petition. The White House has to respond to any petition presented with at least 25,000 signatures.
This isn't a joke, it's part of our process, it's part of our 1st Amendment Rights - to petition the government.
Although I don't agree with the basis of the petition, I will support their 1st Amendment Right to do so. I will give my life if necessary to protect those rights.
You were saying...?
