Pet Talkers argue about politics instead of animals and are solidly divided between parties

So what gave it away, my NRA membership or the AR-15? Ok, you got me, I admit it now to the world.

I'm a Democrat

So we can cancel out each other's votes!

The NRA has been calling my husband daily the last few weeks......he is a staunch Republican, maybe even more than I am.

I just hate to see the arguments go on and on. No one ever wins, and it has nothing to do with our pets, for sure. In that regard, we at least all think alive, we love them dearly.

Just because we have different opinions does not
mean that we are all enemies or something. We just have
different opinions.

Besides, I think Richard doesn't really believe half the
stuff he writes here, he just LOVES to "stir the pot".

I know, Liz. I know. I'm just a wimp when it comes to arguing.....never have been a good arguer, face to face, and I am definitely not a good one in writing. It just wears me out sometimes on Pet Talk. I even considered asking Karen this week if there was a way to keep me out of the Dog House, where I didn't even see it!!!!!

Logan,

I do understand. My Sister is just like that also.

I've got the "mouth" of the girls in my family.

**Logan** · 09-10-2004, 08:03 PM

I can't believe it.

I just admitted to my buddy, Liz, that I'm a wimp. I am a wimp. I am a wimp. But a Republican wimp!!!

Do you have documentation about Dianne Feinstein carrying a concealed weapon?

Also, there is a difference between carrying a gun and being against AUTOMATIC, ASSAULT RIFLES!!!

She had everyone turn in their guns but kept hers....
WHAZUPWIDAT??

Soledad,

Open up your web browser and type what you are looking for
into the box, hit the 'search' button and away you go!!!!!

Liz,
I do happen to believe in what I post. Otherwise I'd fold like a deck of cards.......

And I really don't play cards. It's boring.

Diane Feinstein....against guns for us, but well documented as thinking guns are okay for her.....

Carl Rowan.......Wrote diatribe after diatribe against the second amendment, BUT.............shot an intruder in his home with an illegal firearm

Rosie Odonnell...........against guns for us, but she used every means available to make sure her bodyguards could get concealed carry permits

The list of people who don't practice what they preach on the second amendment could go on and on.

The Assault weapons ban did nothing in the realm of fully automatic weapons, such as the infamous AK-47.

The assault weapons ban had no effect on crime, as the weapons banned by the legislation were never used much in crime to begin with. For that matter, NO gun legislation has an effect on crime, because the criminals don't get their weapons in gun stores or from FFL registered dealers, they get them from the black market. To add insult to injury, even if they did buy from a registered dealer, it would be perfectly legal for them to lie on the application to purchase, as the USSC has ruled that for a criminal to answer certain questions on the form honestly would be a violation of their 5th amendment rights.

The AWB was a piece of pandering feel good legislation that deserves to go into the trash heap where it belongs.

**Soledad** · 09-12-2004, 08:13 AM

Oh please. So if someone is a high profile person who requires protection they can't have ANY opinions on gun laws??? That makes no sense at all.

I find it hilarious and sad that the same administration that delights in scaring the crap out of the American people on a daily basis about terrorism wants to make it easy for terrorists to get their hands on automatic weapons.

The hypocrisy is blinding.

**dukedogsmom** · 09-12-2004, 08:17 AM

I don't believe in banning guns at all. It would only hurt the decent people. The criminals/terrorists could still get guns and then the rest of us would be screwed. I cannot stand Rosie Odonnel. It's been really nice not hearing about her.

Soledad,

The 1994 assault weapons ban does not address fully automatic weapons at all. It addresses semi automatic weapons and bans/regulates them based on appearance, not function.

Fully automatic weapons, with or without the assault weapons ban, are legal to own and use, but highly restricted and taxed. Terrorists are not going to buy weapons at the local gun store, the regulations are too tight. It's easier to smuggle them into the country when they enter. Besides, an automatic weapon does less damage than many objects that one could legally obtain with no restrictions, like an 18 wheeler, a bag of fertilizer, etc. Legislation does not stop people from doing these things.

Oh, so as long as you can buy fertilizer unregulated we should have no gun laws. Right.
