Not that long ago, cigarettes were completely woven into American culture. The Marlboro Man, posters telling us that “more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette,” even the armrests on planes and all our cars were designed for smokers.
And now? Not so much.
Can it work like that with guns?

I grew up surrounded by cigarette smoke. My dad smoked. So did practically everyone else I knew.
But my kids? Totally different.
They saw someone smoking in a restaurant while we were traveling abroad recently and they freaked out, like they’d witnessed a beheading.
Inconceivable in their world.

What a dumb question.
Yet these people cant get enough dead innocent people through abortion.
I can show you millions of people where a gun has saved their life, without them even firing it.
Have them show me one person whose life has been saved by them being aborted.
When cigarettes are banned only Indians will have cigarettes.

Can we ditch WaPoo like we ditched Newsweek?
Oh, wait...
Well they are using the same tactic - incrementalism.
First publicly swear you’re not trying to get rid of all the guns. Then say you just want to get rid of only “assault” weapons. After that is done, get rid of semi automatic handguns, then cartridges with more than three rounds, then tax the hell out of any remaining guns and bullets... and then you’re almost home.
I saw an episode of “My Three Sons” the other day. Fred McMurray sparked up his pipe in an ice cream parlor.
No.
Also, teens smoke more than ever. They just mostly switched from tobacco to "cool" marijuana.
Answer = No.
On a side note, why are people still posting crap from the Washington Compost here at FreeRepublic? We all know what they think and there is literally no point is posting their diatribes.
JoMa
Someone has to explain to me how the same people who advocate gun confiscation can argue for and support open borders. If guns are banned in this country, what the eff do these idiots think will come streaming across our borders? Suddenly, anti-gun Mexico will welcome every damn gun manufacturer with open arms (legal or illegal).
Guns are not the problem; frustrated, liberal, societal rejects shooting innocent people is the problem.
Yes, if it can be proved cigarettes saved more lives than they took.
Like guns.
Ken has the brains if a Ken doll. Excuse me, Ken, but we NEED TO FUND the NRA to DEFUND THE NRA. If the school stop building million dollar sports complexes, the teachers could get paid.
