19. Not my guns

Jan 2013

I don't have anything that would be affected by either Connecticut's current or Feinstein's proposed Assault Weapons Ban.

That's not the issue. The issue is that there exists a segment of the political landscape that is so determined to have as few guns in private hands as possible that they will pass any law possible, regardless of sense or effectiveness.

your previous post reads like something Lapierre's kid would have written for a school paper farminator3000 Jan 2013 #38
Actually, that was meant specifically for him from a another thread krispos42 Jan 2013 #40

Under the AWB she still could have had the same weapons madville Jan 2013 #30
that only makes sense if you are talking about the OLD AWB or one that is too weak farminator3000 Jan 2013 #35
I'm speaking of the present madville Jan 2013 #37
you are not farminator3000 Jan 2013 #39
I've already read it, won't pass in it's current form madville Jan 2013 #42

Whether the law is good or bad is not really the issue madville Jan 2013 #46
the NRA has no right to declare issues or set agendas or influence anyone. it should stop. farminator3000 Jan 2013 #47
why should you support the Democrat Party? BainsBane Jan 2013 #10
The Democratic Party supported extraordinary rendition... krispos42 Jan 2013 #15
brief history lesson BainsBane Jan 2013 #21
And significant portions of Democrats supported those things krispos42 Jan 2013 #22
so you are admitting you hate Democrats? BainsBane Jan 2013 #24

this is exactly how you convince more Americans to support gun control BainsBane Jan 2013 #53
So you're not willing to do anything krispos42 Jan 2013 #54
are you willing to subject guns to the same restrictions cars have? BainsBane Jan 2013 #55
Regardless of intended purpose krispos42 Jan 2013 #57
how on earth BainsBane Jan 2013 #60
You're dodging the question. krispos42 Jan 2013 #62
and of course there are speed limits already BainsBane Jan 2013 #56
there are thousands of gun laws on the books krispos42 Jan 2013 #58

Guns are a tool, not a cause. krispos42 Jan 2013 #16
And I think you're pretending we can't walk and chew gum at the same time to protect your guns. Robb Jan 2013 #17
Not my guns krispos42 Jan 2013 #19
But you admit to the rest? Do you REALLY think we can't do two things at once? Robb Jan 2013 #20
I must have missed the part about what two things you want to do krispos42 Jan 2013 #23
specious argument BainsBane Jan 2013 #49
Yeah, the very precise measure that Obama and Warren and Feinstein and Schumer support... krispos42 Jan 2013 #52
How do you know that to be the case? BainsBane Jan 2013 #59

I'd like to see a ban on concealed carry and open carry permits. nt Comrade_McKenzie Jan 2013 #25
Why? Those have very little if anything to do with gun violence madville Jan 2013 #29
is that true? no explanation? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #48
I think we need to start with what's doable BainsBane Jan 2013 #50
"My meagerly informed understanding is that higher numbers of concealed carry permits do correlate Glassunion Jan 2013 #64
I suggest you consult a dictionary of the English language BainsBane Jan 2013 #65
I asked a simple question: "where did you find that information?". Nothing more. Glassunion Jan 2013 #66
You asked an absurd question BainsBane Jan 2013 #67
