@Brain..yeah, all or nothing, with you or against you. Here, I'll play a tune and you can dance to it. Perhaps you missed the not-so-hidden implication in my post...that maybe we ought to enforce any of the numerous existing regulations before putting our chips in with your hare-brained suggestion. I have no problem with regulation - in fact...I;m kind of fond of regulation. Seems like a good idea to me. It's just that your idea -doesn't-.
Take a walk with me, for a moment - to a place where one side pretends as if there are no decent gun laws and the other side, the very antithesis of what the former adheres to in every way pretends......as if there are no decent gun laws. Where the only thing on equal footing with the nutjobs on one side, are the nutjob suggestions of the other. The only thing you both agree on......is that you'd like to ignore prudent regulation in favor of your disparate fantasies. If one side were truly opposed to the others position, it's difficult to see why you both seem intent on making the discussion so convenient for each other. Take a shot of your own medicine and consider, just for a moment...that -you- are part of the problem...and not the solution.
Why is it that neither party seems to be interested in enforcing the law? There's more than a little bit of irony to be had here, if you take a moment to appreciate it. Before anyone pops in with a "both sides" remark....let me just make this very clear. I'm just about certain that there is only one side here - to which you are both necessary and appreciated contributors, even if you are unintentional collaborators. Your cartoon gun tycoon is laughing his ass all the way to the bank, if he exists. The position you oppose wins by default, on account of the stadium being empty when it's time to play ball. Just food for thought.
On a less irritating note, anyone read that excerpt? Thoughts?
You show me where in any of my posts I said get rid of all guns. The all or nothing assholes are the makers and NRA.
The only "all or nothing" part I am insisting on is forcing jackass crybaby gun nutters to face that the satus quo is not working.
Guns are not fucking toys, and no one has any business having huge clips or military style riffles and the police would not have to be armed to the teeth if they did not have to fear idiots who treat an object like it is porn to masturbate over.
