Ban guns. All guns. Get rid of guns in homes, and on the streets, and, as much as possible, on police. Not just because of San Bernardino, or whichever mass shooting may pop up next, but also not not because of those. Don't sort the population into those who might do something evil or foolish or self-destructive with a gun and those who surely will not. As if this could be known--as if it could be assessed without massively violating civil liberties and stigmatizing the mentally ill. Ban guns! Not just gun violence. Not just certain guns. Not just already-technically-illegal guns. All of them.
I used to refer to my position on this issue as being in favor of gun control. Which is true, except that "gun control" at its most radical still tends to refer to bans on certain weapons and closing loopholes. The recent New York Times front-page editorial, as much as it infuriated some, was still too tentative. "Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership," the paper argued, making the case for "reasonable regulation," nothing more. Even the rare ban-guns arguments involve prefacing and hedging and disclaimers. "We shouldn't 'take them away' from people who currently own them, necessarily," writes Hollis Phelps in Salon.

Agreed! He should have been tried for treason for all his false reporting on the war. Just his stuff on the Tt Offensive......
MERDE!
With her attitude let us hope she does not reproduce.
Uh, why is the Picture backwards?
Sometimes you see that, where the customers seated at the bar can read it from the inside. Presumably there’s another sign facing toward the street at the entrance.
Her eyeliner is crooked and so are her drawn on eyebrows...
And, she is nuts!

Instant self-contradiction, and this dope didn't even notice it.
Thanks. I went up thread and saw someone else asked the same question.
Either way, all I see is a picture of a Liberal Fascist.

She should know that guns are not banned in France, at least nowhere near as she is calling for.
She is simply trying to posit an Alinsky tactic of pushing for something much, much further than you think possible, so get what you want.
She does not comprehend is that the strategy helps us in this debate.
Ah, so you had Nicole too! :)
We should ban stupid. And she is.
She wants to be seen viewing the world and everyone she meets strongly and diffidently askance, as if to say, "I know you're lying to me, so don't bother. You offend me by breathing."
Another dysfunctional chick from the race of Amazons that Betty Friedan begat. This is Communist wordpunk Friedan's way of impairing America's social cohesion and ability to reproduce healthy, well-balanced children.
Bet her idea of a SWAT team is eight guys with one Colt New Police shared among them.
Only 10??
We are killing around 25% even before they have a chance to get born!
