The GOP and Guns

[frankiej]

Yeah, sorry, I read your post too quickly before responding. It is always okay for someone to admit they are wrong.

If it was up to me then everybody would have the same rights world wide anyway... and I would do away with imaginary lines that separates land.

When hunting one of these:




I really NEED a couple of these:




HEY, I don't want bambi to get the best of me do I ?!?

[popeyespappy]

I don't know Cin, but I'm thinking you might want to go ahead and step it up to a GAU-8. That bambi has horns.

I feel that what happens in the most powerful nation on earth is everybody's business. When it comes to who is in power over there, it affects all of us.

I'm not talking about our country's policies abroad. Our individual rights in the U.S. is none of Europe's business.

Well, gun laws seem to be somewhat politicized in the US...

[Anomalocaris]

I'm sure our saner European members will be shocked by this but none of us who live in the Lala-land that the US has become will be surprised.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Republicans have strengthened the pro-gun-rights portion of their party platform, including a new call for unlimited bullet capacities in guns, in a defiant response to criticism that followed recent mass shootings at a Colorado cinema and an Arizona congresswoman's gathering.

Apparently they want to give shooters belt-fed machine guns!

So taking a chain gun with box magazine into the next republican convention will be easier.

do you honestly think that any European is unduly shocked by the idea that folks should also have the right to carry an arsenal in their underpants? N

It's only those who have nothing in their underpants who wants to disguise that fact by putting some firearms in their underpants.

Come on, that's not portable. You can't make a sawed off gatling gun out of that.

I am confident in Cinjin’s ability to improvise. Besides, they could always mount it on Rhythm’s Bradley.

In 2007 USA Today published this which kind of undermines the gun-nut ranting about hunting.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007...nter_N.htm

he number of hunters has slid from a peak of 19.1 million in 1975 to 12.5 million last year, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Basically what they mean is that white people want the ability to shoot large numbers of minorities whenever it suits them. In the south they call that "the good old days."

They should go further and advocate the legal ownership by civilians such weapons as rocket launchers and tanks.

We -can- own rocket launchers and tanks Tristo..... it's just that the latter is horrendously expensive. Quite frankly, I am appalled at the lack of tank and rocket launcher based violence in this country, especially relative to handguns. I think it's high time that the criminally inclined at least attempt to up their game. As of right now they just seem lazy and inept.
(there's plenty of tape to cut through if you want to own either, legally, and regulations regarding whether or not you have to make the working bits inop. If I ever find myself in the position of being horrendously wealthy I do want to own a Bradley -not technically a tank- but it has a place in my heart.)

Coming from a country where gun ownership is severely restricted. I was surprised to be honest Americans can own rocket launchers and tanks.

OLD BRIDGE, N.J. (AP) - An ex-Marine who had suffered from depression and once tweeted about killing "everyone I see" opened fire in camouflage gear at a New Jersey supermarket, gunning down two co-workers before he killed himself, authorities said.

This is who the republicunts want to have move bullets in their guns!
