If your pipe dream keeps you warm at night, good for you, meanwhile, I'll continue to exercise my 2A right, comfortable in the absolute knowledge that you and your cohorts don't have a snowball's chance in hell of becoming law.

Do we control firearms? GGJohn Nov 2015 #97

Not nearly enough...tens of thousands die needlessly every year... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #98

why not....I want you to have few of them! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #102

This is getting funnier and funnier, GGJohn Nov 2015 #105

It beats the shit out of ANY ideas you all have come up with to address the problem which is VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #106

Well, you're right about one thing. GGJohn Nov 2015 #109

Overheated attempts at moral panic-mongering are always good for lulz friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #150

Exactly as in sarisataka Nov 2015 #26

Its a matter of public safety.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #31

Well, GWB's ink pen did a pretty good job of killing millions of Iraqi's and thousands GGJohn Nov 2015 #14

Beat me to it beardown Nov 2015 #132

You are deflecting the argument Travis_0004 Nov 2015 #32

And comparing ink to bullets isnt a deflection? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #33

i dont even care any more Travis_0004 Nov 2015 #34

Good give up... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #39

When (not if, *when*) this bill fails to go anywhere in the Republican-held House... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #45

When indeed VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #47

The use of ink has caused untold millions of deaths, GGJohn Nov 2015 #37

Not without the bullets.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #40

GW's war, including bullets, wouldn't have happened if not for the pen GGJohn Nov 2015 #43

Not without the bullets VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #46

Do you honestly believe that the government will go without bullets? friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #49

Again, without the ink, the bullets wouldn't have been used, GGJohn Nov 2015 #50

Notwithouthebullets VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #54

Lather, Rinse, Repeat. GGJohn Nov 2015 #56

Notwithoutthesoap VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #59

What sort of press do you post with? There was no Internet when the 1st A. was written friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #52

If it gets you away from the fantasy that this has a hope in hell in the GOP-controlled House... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #42

Old ass GOP are dying off...it will happen VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #44

Not anytime soon, and not with this bill friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #48

Who is removing suicide? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #81

Drug overdoses melm00se Nov 2015 #90

But not prohibitively, like you and your ilk want. GGJohn Nov 2015 #63

Yes prohibitively... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #70

Maybe you missed the part where I said those aren't protected rights, GGJohn Nov 2015 #71

Firearms yes...bullets no... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #72

Again, GGJohn Nov 2015 #74

This bill has as little chance of becoming law TeddyR Nov 2015 #88

No...you can hve all the guns you want VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #89

I don't yet have all the firearms I want, but I'm working on it, GGJohn Nov 2015 #95

Yes but I want to prevent you from using them! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #96

LOL. GGJohn Nov 2015 #99

REGULATE until those needless deaths decrease.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #100

We've suggested many reg. that would help reduce the deaths, GGJohn Nov 2015 #103

fewer bullets would.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #104

LOL. GGJohn Nov 2015 #107

So what is YOUR solution to those kids dying from their "responsible gun owning" parents guns? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #108

Open carry should be banned except for when hiking in the wildnerness, or hunting. GGJohn Nov 2015 #113

So should they be charged with manslaughter? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #114

If it warrants it, GGJohn Nov 2015 #124

Negligent homicide would be more appropriate. eom. GGJohn Nov 2015 #127

You think the progressive 2Aers have no solutions you should see the banners ideas. ileus Nov 2015 #133

Great new approach. beardown Nov 2015 #135

why stop there....why not a Nuke? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #138

How would you use a nuke to protect your wife coming out of Texas? ileus Nov 2015 #144

By Nuking Oklahoma of course VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #145

We used to only have spoons. ileus Nov 2015 #146

And if spoons were Weapons of Mass Destruction VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #147

and bullets today for that matter Duckhunter935 Nov 2015 #84

Doesn't matter sarisataka Nov 2015 #51

Extinct? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #55

Climate change will take a while sarisataka Nov 2015 #57

"Check!"? No, cheap appeal to emotion- your schtick has been seen here many times before friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #61

Yeah nobody cares about children getting gunned down VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #64

Your approach long ago earned a name: Lovejoying friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #67

Doesn't mske me less right... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #73

It doesn't make you right, it makes you a demagogue friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #78

Children are dying.. VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #80

It's not as easy to gin up a moral panic as you seem to believe friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #148

Fewer every year. Face it, your desired moral panic won't happen anytime soon friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #149

The problem with that line of reasoning is that support for gun control has been going down kelly1mm Nov 2015 #137

No, it's not. Waldorf Nov 2015 #136

Planted articles and 'writers' led to Iraqmire beardown Nov 2015 #131
