I would imagine that most people wouldn't want deranged NRA members shooting at their kids, but then I would think most people wouldn't want deranged people who aren't members of the NRA to shoot at their kids either. Come to think of it I doubt they would want anyone shooting at their kids regardless of lobby membership or mental state.

"He seemed calm, and he wasn't a member of the NRA, so I was ok with the killing spree at the playground."




You know, that's what I would think too. I certainly wouldn't want a deranged person shooting at anybody. That's why I'm not sure why the writer thought Yit was important enough to specifically mention NRA and GOA members, as if members of those groups are more likely to be deranged and start shooting people.


It seems like an old tactic. Give whoever oposes you undesirable traits and try to imprint that image on those you are trying to win to your side. Suppose I wanted to get alcohol banned because of all the traffic fatalities it causes when people drive drunk, but the Daily KOS and its readers
are for defending people's right to drink.
I start writing about how I don't want my children killed by an alcoholic KOS reader ala the Carrolton bus crash http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrollton,_Kentucky_bus_collision
I tie the concepts together, protect the children, and anyone who supports the right to drink is an alcoholic or deranged.
Keep repeating the lie long enough and people believe it.

Then let them address that with their local school board and county gov't. It isn't a federal gov't issue.


Yes it is, as the Federal Government provides funds to schools.

Wow! hasn't the US government ever seen The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XIII?

Lisa starts a gun control crusade, which makes Springfield 100% gun free — even the police no longer possess guns. The town is now defenceless, causing the corpses of William "Billy the Kid" Bonney and his cohorts, 'The Hole in the Ground' gang (Frank James, Jesse James, the Sundance Kid — without Butch Cassidy, as they are 'not joined at the hip' — and Kaiser Wilhelm II, who is obviously not a cowboy but claims he is) to rise from the dead. The gang starts wreaking havoc on the town, until Professor Frink invents a time machine, which Homer uses to go back in time to stop the gun ban and destroy the zombies. Homer tells the citizens of Springfield to shoot at the zombies' graves, causing them to rise up and flee. Lisa feels guilty about banning guns, because sometimes they are the answer. Suddenly, a more futuristic Homer comes in to warn them about guns that have destroyed Earth in the future. He is then shot by Moe, who has had enough of all this nonsense and plans to use Frink's time machine to find some "caveman hookers".

I'm waiting for a poll on how many Americans would defy a federal pie ban, since we're polling hypothetical things that will never realistically happen.

I think it's those dastardly commies trying to replace fatty foods with healthy eating and exercise. Or maybe Obama is a super top uber elite member of the illuminati and is planning a civil war, they are taking away the pies so we don't have the means to gain the energy and super ninja kung-fu powers to defeat them ...it's a conspiracy I tell ya!

Yeah. We love freedom too.


I can see there point of why they would want to keep there guns. I mean today, guns float around the states like its candy and fething crasy people are everywhere.

But that whole "If this feller terks away mer geeerun (gun) then I'll be having nern of mer freedom dat I was promised way back when in the O' days. Yes sir reee." Is just a childish excuse to keep your crap. I mean you guys have as much freedom as anyone else. If your guns get taken away it doesn't change anything cept for the fact that there will be less crazy people wondering around shooting little kiddies.

"But what am I meant to do if someone breaks into my house with a firearm?" find the hardest thing you find and beat across the head. Tackle him, then wait for the cops to come.

Bottom line is. Americans are fething idiots.

This is going to become ironic in a second.

Right to bare arms... what a load of crap.

What do you have against short sleeves, exactly?

Told you.

its really mainly the conservatives that have these views.

Gallup polling showed, right after Sandy Hook, that 75% of Americans believed in the right to own a semiautomatic handgun. I highly doubt 75% of the country is conservative.

Pointing out facts is all good and well but it really means crap. I couldn't care less about how wrong you think I am. I just know I AM RIGHT and you are WRONG!

And around 48-50% of Americans consider them selves right wing and or conservative so.... what this can mean is that 50% of the 75% are conservatives and 25% of the remaining gun owners are just wanna be's.

I'm certainly not a conservative and I'd be all for reducing restrictions on automatic weapons.
