Gun control discussion

But he has to have that equipment because he is a National Guardsman. But if he is a gang banger on the south side of Chicago with those six 30-round magazines, then yes, arrest him for illegal possession. And go after whoever he got the magazines from. But the National Guardsman has a responsibility to possess the appropriate equipment issued to him. I think you should only bust the Guardsman if he lets those magazines get into the wrong hands.

There's no exception in the law for the National Guard. The Guardsman, as the law currently stands, would be arrested for illegal possession with a 1 year sentence for each magazine.

And so it goes...blah..blah..blah...

And our children keep on dying...

But it is okay... as long as it is not your child who dies!

[Lady's Human]

Checking back just to troll, ES?

How nice.


Explain to me how more laws (endangering a child is already illegal) would fix the latest headline? They wouldn't, more laws in fact would do nothing, but it would allow the politicians to fleece the rubes for another term in office, as they DID something. They didn't do anything substantial, but they did SOMETHING, and that's all that counts, isn't it?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The road to the complete nanny state is paved with the same material, and in both cases the pavement stinks of bovine excrement.

Whatever... I came back because some people...I am not sure if you are familiar with the concept of "people" ...wanted to celebrate my cats today. I honor them as they honor Edwina and Eddie.

You...you are still...apparently...fighting your war to justify your sad...sad..need to kill. Peace baby...peace.

[Lady's Human]

Justify my need to kill?

Are you off your meds? WTH?

[Edwina's Secretary]

How sad L H. I have read of people like you who, when confronted with the absurdity of their statements, resort to accusing others of "being off their meds."

Here's hoping you can look within yourself and find the cause of your anger and need for justifying "instruments for killing ".

[Lady's Human]

I'd make a comment about who really has a need to kill, but that subject has been banned for discussion.

My statements are far from absurd, however, you're too wrapped up in your own little world to see logic. You remind me of paid mourners, good actors and actresses but as real as a $3 bill. The only reason you make so much noise and bother about this issue is so you can feel good about doing the right thing, as opposed to actually getting out and doing something about it.

Internet activists like you are a dime a gross.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Apparently you have run out of your "little blue pills" again! Need to sublimate! Make sure everyone knows how...

And ...as you will surely call me a troll or whatever...please show me the "rules" about how often one must post to be considered a legitimate poster? I see some folks who haven't posted in AGES and I missed where you bullied them for it???

Did you honestly just say that? His need to kill? Really?? Really??

Why is there not a emi-con of someone banging their head against a wall?

Yep, sure, every single person who doesn't support a gun ban is all for killing. Yep, you really got it right.

This thread reminds me of a girl in my speech class who felt the need to tell someone after my demo speech on archery (ARCHERY) that she didn't understand the need for blood sports? What? Sureeee, bet that hay bales bleeding out real bad.

Alyssa! You shot a bale of hay with an arrow???
I bought a second gun. Guess I'm really needing to kill! Haven't shot anyone yet. My guns haven't got up and shot anyone yet either.
Have shot at the shooting range.

Yep, I left it out there bleeding in the woods too! Poor thing.

LOL,

The people who want the government to background check are the same people who fear Kroger shopper cards because they collect info on what we buy when we shop.

(Have you ever driven in CA? Those hellish roads are in need of paving...)

-----------------

The town hall meetings where the attendees are asking the politicos about their voting habits are pretty interesting.

If they don't answer the question in one meeting, what makes them think that they will get an answer the next time?

[RICHARD]

WTH, he did pass a background check.

Why make it a "universal" background check, start with planet earth.....

I heard on the news tonight (on WBBM-AM radio for those of you in the Chicago area) that the NRA would like to give away guns in Chicago and other big cities affected by crime. Their rationale is that if more citizens were armed, crime would decrease. I don't know about other cities, but in Chicago I can just see those guns quickly falling into the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Giving more people guns is NOT likely to decrease crime, at least not in this town. It's going to take more police, more programs to strengthen families and keep kids out of gangs, and more opportunities for teenagers to have a life other than early parenting, welfare, prison or early death.

Sadly, that isn't going to happen,, because it takes more than a sound bite to actually fix social problems. Nothing proposed by either side is going to fix Chicago, or any other urban issues, for that matter.
