I'm assuming you're drunk. If you're not, then you've lost what little mind you've got left.

Do we need this kind of personal attacker on FR?

Ugh!!!!

Short course in Politics 101.
First we get more pro-gun people in Congress and the Senate. Then we tell those pro-gun politicians to vote for pro-gun bills.
Then Bush signs those Bills.
Easy.

If we don't do this, we keep punching more holes in the lifeboat like this article is doing and we lose.
That's easy too.

If Mexicans were allowed to own guns they might actually do something about their corrupt and ossified government instead of throwing their hands in the air and striking north.

Speaking of drunks.....

Your statement is too stupid for me to comment on out loud.

Stay safe; stay armed; and smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Read AAABEST's characterization of those who disagreed with him as a "moron." Oh, and I'm a clintonoid in search of someone "to sew my lips to."

I give as good as I get, Travis.

Reply # 28 to reply # 21 was appropriate.

This is a personal attack, according to Travis McGee.

Since you don't quote the statement, it's hard to respond.

You prefer shotguns to rifles, I see.

Q: Why do Bush/Ashcroft continue anti-gun policies?
A: Because they are statists.

Very succinct, and very accurate.

I have to laugh at this. How many Americans even KNOW anyone who's committed a felony, much less having committed a felony themselves?

Right now today....1 in 32 Americans is in prison, awaiting prison or on parole/probation. That probably translates into 1 in 12-15 adult males....that's a lot of disenfranchised gun owners. It's a serious problem for non-violent felons since the 1987 Sentencing Guidelines took discretion from judges.

If you are a convicted felon (non-violent or otherwise....which most are today ....in jail for drug crimes) and you are caught with just something as benign as an old Iver Johnson or JC Higgins 22 short revolver....you will do at least 5 years Fed time with no parole.

To me...that's draconian. 'Course I'm not much into JBT adulation to start with. Don't forget...this also includes some misdemeanors...don't tell me you don't know any misdemenor perps either...LOL. ;>)

Stupid statement of the week.

They use the same arguments that the Left uses. Amazing, isn't it?

Sad but true. Words mean nothing. I judge them by their actions. Any politician who speaks of how much of the fruits of my labor they'll 'allow' me to keep - well, let's just say that the American Creed isn't what they're going by. You know - liberty, democracy, individualism, equality before the law, constitutionalism, private property.

The cost of restoring these principles will be horrendous.

I'm sure you've got the link to back this up. These appear, on their face, to be ridiculous.

don't tell me you don't know any misdemenor perps either...LOL. ;

Actually, unless you consider a traffic ticket a misdemeanor, I don't know any.

It would be a personal attack if I even attempted to address ANY of your posts on this thread.

Stay safe; stay armed; and smoke 'em if you got 'em.

[tpaine]

Both comments at #19 were ad hominem attacks.
Left/right has nothing to do with idiocy.

[Shooter 2.5]

They run full circle as fast as they can.

Thanks for your courageous response.

I wouldn't waste a milliwatt or a microsecond 'debating' with that smug kisser of statist butt. There were plenty like him in the old Weimar Republic. We all know how that went. And how they wound up.
