No, they’re evil.
Sometimes they don’t look like it, but when you look at their ideas of paradise, you realize it. (Anybody who thinks Utopia is anything but a Hell is either evil, or has not read the book...)

It’s important to note that several phobias can be ascribed to gun controllers. For example, not just fear of guns, but the fear of the unexpected noise that guns make. Fear of loss of situational control. Fear of assassination (like Bloomberg).

Who knows what other brain defects propel them?

Until gun owners unite to tie up anti-gun legislation in the courts and stand up with civil disobedience, these attacks on the second amendment will continue. Frankly I feel the best way to transform a liberal is to introduce them to the shooting sports. I’ve two friends who converted their wives by including them in their trips to the range as well as instructing them on how to clean a gun. Cleaning the gun and learning how it functions takes away some of the mystic surrounding guns and attibutes their action to the person holding the gun, not the gun itself.

"I’m not a gun owner and, as I think as is the case for the more than half the people in the country who also aren’t gun owners, that means that for me guns are alien. In the current rhetorical climate people seem not to want to say: I think guns are kind of scary and don’t want to be around them." -- Josh Marshall


An irrational fear of firearms is a form of mental illness known as hoplophobia. It is treatable and those afflicted should seek the assistance of a mental health professional.

I didn't try that, but I did go to 6 weeks of ROTC Summer Camp in 1964 at Ft. Riley, KA. We spent our first week camping out in the Kansas sun and I had an aerosol can of shaving cream in my duffel. Suffice it to say, after that experience, I made sure to take a tube of shaving cream, not an aerosol can, on any future, similar camping experiences.

“Trying to reason with a gun control advocate is like arguing with a 4 yr old about whether her imaginary friend is real or not.”So true.Applies to a lot of issues like Obamacare,illegal immigration,etc,etc.I don’t bother trying to talk sense to liberals anymore.It’s like trying to break thru a cognitive brick wall.Total denial of reality.I’m not a psychologist,but i’d classify it as a mental illness.

“A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.” — Sigmund Freud

Be careful with this.

This quote itself is undoubtedly factually correct. Liberalism is a psychological retardation, trapping the afflicted in the simplistic Narcissism of childhood. There, it is unimaginable why everyone won’t just do what the Liberal wants, and spend their existence trying to make the Liberal happy. Why we wouldn’t gladly give up our ability to defend our family, just so the Liberal could be happy, is unimaginable to such a mind.

But the quote was actually written by another psychiatrist, and was taken from his analysis of Freud’s writings. It’s a small point, but before throwing it in the face of a Leftist, it pays to note that although Freud probably would have agreed with it, and Liberals are emotionally retarded children, the quote isn’t actually his.

If that stuff interests you, stop by my site sometime. Liberalism is actually adaptive in nature, if it arises in an r-selective environment. I’m pretty sure that is why it exists - it is a psychological adaptation designed to produce a bunny-like r-selected reproductive strategy when resources become freely available.

Do you really think a 6 year old would know who the NRA was? There is no parental infulence in this drawing? Ha.

LOL, now Rosa demands that we pay her bus fare and is on TV whining that the sequester might make her pay a few cents of her own money for the ride.

On target regarding many of today's individuals, but a bit disrespectful to a brave and principled woman. Unintentionally, I'm sure.

Obviously it’s a clever humorous fake made by an adult.

Chuckie Bloomer (Chuck Schumer Bloomfield) is the giveaway.)

Gun ownership by women has climbed over 77% since 2005 in America.

The ‘just us’ system under Holder isn’t keeping America safer and women know it very well, it seems.

RE :”On target regarding many of today's individuals, but a bit disrespectful to a brave and principled woman. Unintentionally, I'm sure. “

As you figured out I don't know the woman personally, but that is what their movement has come to.
Today's Rosa Parks is the same sex couple demanding the government treat them the same as my natural married parents, to most blacks who are libs.

"Equal Protection under the law"

“I now declare you something and something”

“Cuts in taxpayer subsidies to public buses disproportionately hurt African Americans which is discrimination”

You think Rosa would disapprove of it all?
