I don’t HATE guns. Don’t even dislike them.
ENJOY using them from time to time.
But can I say I LIKE them? Not in the way I like guitar or roulette tables or women :)
Guns are GOOD TO HAVE!!
And I support the 2nd amendment 1000 percent. (Is 1000 percent possible?)
The reference to an “antibiotic” isn’t the most insane one he’s ever made.
It will KILL a dangerous intruder, just like an antibiotic does.
I HATE this guy, but his position here isn’t utter insanity.
And that’s a step up from the norm.
“Is he more conservative than he seems”
F NO. It may simply mean this insane leftard HAS or OWNS guns. Calling Maher a conservative is like calling a pile of turd, a chocolate donut.
When they tout gun control, they lose every time.
A TV item showed how a new brain analysis system could convert brain activity areas into colors. Deepak Chopra was attached to it with sensors all over his head and told to go into meditation, answer questions and so on. It could show "recalling events from the past" and "creating new ideas or fictionalized stories" or something.
Thus, Booker's nearly empty head would show "makin' up lies for the fools to believe so I can grab their guns."
Well said
Liberal logic.
As usual, leftists have the wrong solution to the problem they envision... in a hypocritical way.
In this case, they have tantrums that Trump is a dictator, he is utter tyranny, perhaps he won’t even step down after losing in 2020. Yet, at the same breath, leftists want more gun control.
If Trump and conservatives were that dangerous to leftists, then leftists should want to keep and/or have weapons with which to protect themselves, and the progressive country of their dreams.
He’s obviously making sense on the issue. The proper strategy for the Dems, of course, is to first secure power [promising whatever it takes to win], and only then take away the guns.
Thankfully most elected Democrats are too impulsive to follow that plan, even though they know it’s right.
methinks he has a “young” problem he is worried about...
I like guns.
I like them so much I got a part time job selling them after I retired.
The engineering and precision some are made with are wonders of human achievement.
Well this is a genuine rarity, I actually agree with something this guy said. He is right - in general people who identify as leftist/liberals don't know much if anything about firearms. In fact, many of them actually "know" far too much about firearms that simply isn't true. (paging President Reagan)... About the only thing liberals tend to get right about firearms is that they know they want their private security well equipped so as to keep their more-equal backsides safe.
If you're a liberal lurker reading this and you're not as self aware as Mr. Maher - that is you think you actually know something about firearms - I strongly urge you to reconsider. It is entirely probable that most if not everything you think you know about firearms you've "learned" from other leftist/liberal sources, and it is almost certainly wrong.
Just one more hill to die on, for the Democrats. But they are trying to “prove” their bona fide intentions, and they cannot stop themselves from snapping at the bait (or debate, as the case may be).
Bill Maher might just as well be preaching to the wind, if he expects to talk reason to the Democrats on issues for which they have only emotions.
Which is just about every issue out there.
Yes, 1000% is very possible. George McGovern backed his selection for VP Thomas Eagleton 1000%
I think that’s GREAT.
I have that feeling about drums :)
Except your love would save us if the govt turned against us.
I mean unless we had enough snare drums to throw at the enemy :)
I admire your appreciation of the craftsmanship and technical achievement poured into gun making.
Oh come on .... I hate guns and threw mine into the river with all my ammo
Maher’s contract with HBO requires that he be protected by armed bodyguards wherever he goes. He is not only hypocritical but a bit paranoid.
Great! Well keep our President and our guns.
They should all self-deport to Venezuela of Hanoi and live with like-minded people.
That was supposed to be Venezuela or Hanoi.
Heard of the first, will have to look up the 2nd :)
THIS is how people agree.
NO, I don’t have the love and fervor for guns that many southerners and Heartland folks have.
So what? I KNOW how important they are and I KNOW I have to have some basic experience in using them and I need to own one.
AND I KNOW any restrictions lead to MANY restrictions.
It’s not like others are saying “YOU MUST LOVE GUNS AS MUCH AS WE DO OR YOU SHOULD BE IN PRISON OR DEAD!!”
Well, most aren’t :)
I’ve met gun owners on here who LOVE LOVE LOVE Guns, all kinds, and are REALLY REALLY good at using them.
And I’e gotten lots of advice and some have hoped that I would develop the same love.
I HAVE enjoyed learning a lot more about them.
But at no time did someone say “if you don’t love them then you are the enemy!!”
As long as I don’t try in any way, even in my voting, to abridge any rights, it’s all good.
See abortion/gay marriage/transgender activism for the EXACT OPPOSITE approach.
BTW, the gun lovers’ approach makes you MUCH MORE receptive to them than these other freaks.
