1. Opportunities to hunt and shoot my family? Mitt's outdone scissors-gate with this one.

[Voice for Peace]

15. hmm.. I may need to re-think my non gun ownership

[Swede Atlanta]

2. Oh goodie...

more senseless violence in our country. Just what we need...

My goodness he continues to pander to the furthest reaches of his base. The base continue to die off. There may be enough mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, no-dental-plan, family-tree-that-does not fork folks to elect him but the future is very different.

8. I'm not adding anything to the conversation here but,

"........family-tree-that-does not fork folks.."

[Bigmack]

3. Too bad the kid whose hair Romney cut in Prep school wasn't armed....

He could have defended himself from assault.... and saved us all a lot of grief.

[Fumesucker]

5. That's going a bit far...

Even Dick Cheney thinks shooting is for friends, not family.

[Politicalboi]

6. Can we hunt

The 1%?????? How many cops are the rich going to need to protect them from the mobs in the streets with guns when ALL hell breaks loose?

[nanabugg]

7. Yeah, because we need this to boost the economy and create jobs!!!

[quaker bill]

9. How are the opportunities restricted now?

I can get all the guns as I want right now. I can also get a permit to carry, and since I live in FL, a really huge "stand your ground" defense when I happen to use one. (Of course, I actually don't want any, and don't own any, but if I did desire some there would be no problem at all, many dealers are nearby with all the goods I could desire)

10. If I had known...

that the Republicans could've possibly topped George W. Bush for sheer idiocy, I probably would've jumped off a bridge back in 2004. Dayum. I honestly didn't think it was possible, but here you have Mitt, making W seem like fucking Ghandi in comparison.

11. Mitt Romney: Turning America into one big human-hunting preserve for billionaires...

Lordy...

[jmowreader]

12. Mitt, I always wanted a howitzer

And trust me, when you live in a place where half the population wishes you would just fucking die and half those people would be happy to help you do so, a field gun in the garage would be most welcome. So...can I have one?

13. If you read the American Rifleman

As I did, sitting in a waiting room Sat. - you might think this is the top issue in the campaign. Or, as I did, think anyone that beleives the NRA party line is f'n NUTS! These goobers live in a fantasy world, where the only thing between their baby children and a horrible death is "The Armed Citizen".

14. That's venturing into George Bush doufus territory

Remember this Bush quote?

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
