Liberals are the national disgrace. It’s time we had a national discussion about regulating them.

MY version of "well-regulated liberals":

Oh wait, that was harsh, wasn't it? :)

Unfortunately, many do.

In most conservative circles, even if people don't own guns and even if they've never fired a weapon, they know people personally who do — often lots of people who do. If you know people who are decent and responsible, and if you know they own guns, you're less likely to object to gun ownership even if you don't choose to own one.

That's not the case for people in parts of America where guns are severely regulated or in social circles where they are stigmatized.

“Jim, people are often afraid of what they do not understand. Why would you object to something you've never used and never even taken the time to learn about?”

I've found that phrase helpful in dealing with liberals because it is a sentence out of their playbook on other issues which have nothing to do with guns.

Here's another one.

“Julie, have you ever considered that one of the best protections for a woman against a physically superior man is a small handgun? Training doesn't care about gender, and it can be a great equalizer between a well-trained woman and the brute strength of a male aggressor.”

Didn't take long for the Poofter to weigh in.

You can't have a reasonable discussion with a democrat/liberal/socialist/Marxist.

The Mark Morford Lied
(Achtung baby)

He’s so gay
He’s so gay
He’s very very gay
He’s so gay
He’s so gay
And he likes to be that way
With his keys all on the right
He’s into rubber every night
He’s so gay
He’s so gay

There is simply no denying a gun’s intention

Oh, and one more thing, Mark. Guns don't have "intentions." Guns are an inanimate object. People have intentions.

Sheesh.

Inner-city lawlessness is the national disgrace.

WHAT PART OF SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED DO YOU NOt UNDERSTAND? If more adults there had been CCW carriers fewer Christians would have been murdered.

The only good thing that came out of this is the murdered offed himself, thus no prolonged trial and fighting the anti Death penalty idiots.

Only way to deal with crazies is to put them down like a rabid dog.

Same goes with Terrorist.

Time to start asking the big 3-4 GOP candidates who their VP is going to be. It best be a solid conservative former Military, like Lt Col. Allen West. We have to fix the mess 0 made of our Military.

This guy is a total idiot. ANY object from hands, feet, or inanimate object can be used as a weapon to kill.

Now it depends on how many you want to kill at one time.

It it is just 1 or 2 a knife will do. Or a 2 ft section of fence post, baseball bat, hammer. In the case of a 8 year old little girl, all you have to do is beat her, rape her, strangle her nearly to death, then wrap her body in a blanket and thrown it in the river for her to finish drowning. Perp has maxed out all his Appeals, still sits on TN death row because our DAMN RINO gov halsam won’t sing the death warrant, going on 21 yrs now. No justice no peace. Then you don’t get much peace any way, because the memories don’t let you have it.

Just as an auto can be sent over the road or over people, the driver is the element making that choice.

>>Now it depends on how many you want to kill at one time.

And when the sheeple are trained to stand in a group and wait for their fate, you can kill a lot with even a machete. TV has trained their minds to be quiet and keep thinking that a Hollywood SWAT team will bust in with laser sights and expertly pick off only the bad guys in the room in less than 2 seconds.

The Army vet was the only person with his head screwed on straight. He got shot many times, but nothing fatal. Because he fought. If there had been three of him, they could have taken this guy down easily, as the men on the train did.

Guns are the sole reason these idiots can rant and rave about guns.

Mark Morford. No need to read further, except for possible unintentional humor.
