120. So nobody can safely assemble again?

Sun Nov 18, 2012, 06:07 AM

Nov 2012

Nobody can safely watch a movie? Nobody can safely vote? Nobody can safely cross the street? Nobody can safely climb a ladder?

When you talk about hypothetical possibilities as though they were certainties, you sound ridiculous. You can peacefully assemble whenever and wherever you please, and your risk of being shot (or stabbed, or punched, or run over, or beaten) is virtually nil. There is no way to guarantee that you will never, ever be prevented from exercising your rights by a criminal act, but it's absurd to live your life operating on the assumption that you will be.

Also note: I have no right to ruin your right to peacefully assemble. I have a right to keep and bear arms. If I interfere with any of your rights, I should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

<duplicate> sarisataka Nov 2012 #1

There has also been basically no national movement on gun laws krispos42 Nov 2012 #2

I think we also need to challenge the idea that the NRA is a single issue advocacy group. HankyDub Nov 2012 #6

I don't like the NRA glacierbay Nov 2012 #9

this is obviously untrue HankyDub Nov 2012 #11

Post the proof that the NRA glacierbay Nov 2012 #12

Proof is in the pudding. HankyDub Nov 2012 #16

What Proof? glacierbay Nov 2012 #18

Continue to ignore it HankyDub Nov 2012 #20

Just as I thought glacierbay Nov 2012 #22

as I thought HankyDub Nov 2012 #24

And you continue to refuse to provide proof. glacierbay Nov 2012 #25

I have provided ample proof HankyDub Nov 2012 #26

One more time glacierbay Nov 2012 #28

why is it you continue to ignore the centerpieceof my argument? HankyDub Nov 2012 #32

Here's what you said glacierbay Nov 2012 #35

As for second Admendment rights, Romeny is more pro gun than Obama. Travis_0004 Nov 2012 #130

your proof is the personal rants of the board of directors gejohnston Nov 2012 #30

that is just one piece of evidence I provided HankyDub Nov 2012 #31

Now your changing. glacierbay Nov 2012 #33

I said that they opposed a president who reduced restrictions on guns HankyDub Nov 2012 #36

No, glacierbay Nov 2012 #37

You have now avoided responding to my central point about 5 times now HankyDub Nov 2012 #39

That's funny you saying that I've failed glacierbay Nov 2012 #42

I have provided excellent evidence HankyDub Nov 2012 #43

You're not very good at this debate thing. nt WinniSkipper Nov 2012 #85

I agree with you. I have gone through the same argument with doc03 Nov 2012 #126

All of Obama's bills gejohnston Nov 2012 #34

So they paid right wing lunatics iwth other agendas HankyDub Nov 2012 #38

But what other issues, other than gun rights have they advocated for? glacierbay Nov 2012 #40

so the NRA support for Strickland over Kaisach gejohnston Nov 2012 #41

How many ways can you guys avoid discussing the point I made? HankyDub Nov 2012 #44

because your conclusions are based on guesses without gejohnston Nov 2012 #45

what counter point? HankyDub Nov 2012 #46

Kasich voted for the federal one in 1994 gejohnston Nov 2012 #47

Congratulations! HankyDub Nov 2012 #48

The NRA (had) to endorse Strickland just what did they do to support him? doc03 Nov 2012 #128

my understand of why gejohnston Nov 2012 #129

So...did you actively support and work for the candidate whose gun position matched yours? dumbledork Nov 2012 #51

An interesting question that will probably be ignored... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2012 #53

Unlike 2a fanatics HankyDub Nov 2012 #59

I am a Constitutional fanatic...THAT is my single issue. dumbledork Nov 2012 #83

But of course you do pick and choose HankyDub Nov 2012 #84

Well, at the end of the day...make that the end of the century, all this bloviating and parsing dumbledork Nov 2012 #86

So you concede that your argument sucks HankyDub Nov 2012 #87

Could you spare a couple grams of whatever you're smoking? dumbledork Nov 2012 #88

Nor is anyone else here-that's why we voted Obama. friendly_iconoclast Nov 2012 #90

actually many of you seem to be single issue people HankyDub Nov 2012 #91

Ahem- *You* post here a lot and are... shall we say, "concerned" about guns, no? friendly_iconoclast Nov 2012 #92

Let's count. HankyDub Nov 2012 #93

That does not in any way affect the validity of what I say. friendly_iconoclast Nov 2012 #96
