We should allow everyone to carry guns
Yes this is the RW mantra this morning. They are saying if everyone was armed we could prevent these kinds of shootings. These people are morons. Every time there is a minor disagreement you would have someone pulling out a gun and shooting someone. This kind of thinking shows what low IQ's it takes to be a republican and a RW radio listener.

1. The GOPigs are pushing for looser gun laws in some states so that

if you feel that you are being threatened then you can go for your gun, shoot first and brag about it later.

5. Prisons
Imagine all of the prisons Halliburton would have to build to house all of these shooters. I guess we could then execute the shooters and that way we can get our 300 million population down to about 150 million by 2050.

10. But the shooters would be the new local hero in RedNeckLand.
Edited on Tue Apr-17-07 10:57 AM by MUAD_DIB
They could sit around the local bar and tell their buddies how they felt threatened by the minority or homsexual and had to let them have it.


I think Florida passed a law like this*.

*Not a law aimed at shooting minorities or homosexuals, but against those that threaten you. In and of itself that could be anything other than a handshake to some rednecks.

2. Sure, its so easy for women to balance
baby in baby carrier
diaper bag
handbag
briefcase

that pulling a gun out and defending themselves is just another easy task to fit into their repetoire.

Get rid of the assholes with guns.
Its like the Presidency or other social organizations, if you desperately want to belong - you should be barred from belonging.

11. Weapons of mass destruction don't kill, people kill.
Any responsible country or individual should be allowed to own weapons of mass destruction without a background check.

6. please leave me out of the equation
best leave Mrs. Wickerman out, too. Neither one of use is real handy at being able to keep track of our cellphones, let alone a lethal weapon.

9. I killed over half a dozen people yesterday.

"Every time there is a minor disagreement you would have someone pulling out a gun and shooting someone. This kind of thinking shows what low IQ's it takes to be a republican and a RW radio listener."

Just kidding. I don't carry a firearm. But I know plenty of folk who do. I've even got into quite a few heated arguments with them. For the life of me I can't figure out how I managed to survive. I suppose they must have forgotten they had a firearm on them.

Seriously though, 59millionmorons, if you believe that if you had a firearm on you then you would kill someone every time there is a minor disagreement, you should seek some serious professional help. An unarmed psychopath may not be as dangerous as an armed one, but you are still a psychopath.

12. If reporters had any balls they would brace Bush on the gun issue at the first opportunity.
Of course that could be a long way off as you know the WH will go into strict bubble mode for the bubble boy until the MSM gets distracted by something else.

15. Allow, hell! Require it of every citizen
But I keep all the ammo, and dole it out on a "need to have" basis, subject to my sole judgment.

18. Do It Yourself law enforcement. A feature of the Ownership Socieity.
Fits in perfectly with their overall governing philosophy. They only believe in government for a military and protection of plutocrats' property. The rest of us are on our own.
