A hardliner? Not even close.

Just a regular person capable of reading and grasping legal rulings, simple bills passed and signed by our President and seeing the trends for what they really are, not what the shrinking handful of people like you'd like them to be.

Get used to it, it's not going to change.

"Just seems a little tasteless..." ellisonz Jan 2012 #1

Tasteless. Oh you mean like the Brady bunch using an MLK image to solicit donations today? DonP Jan 2012 #7

I checked the BC site, and you are correct. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #12

Dr. King (like Eleanor Roosevelt) sought a concealed-carry permit. Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2012 #15

You think MLK was opposed to gun control? ellisonz Jan 2012 #22

Why would you think he opposed them, since he owned guns and applied for a Concealed Carry Permit? DonP Jan 2012 #25

Not the same thing. ellisonz Jan 2012 #26

Then why did he own and choose to defend himself with guns? His own and others? DonP Jan 2012 #29

He would not favor the current madness. n/t ellisonz Jan 2012 #43

Try this on for size.. X_Digger Jan 2012 #33

Now you're slandering him too! DonP Jan 2012 #37

I don't disagree with that. ellisonz Jan 2012 #44

Do you think he would agree with DC & Chicago's ban on handgun ownership? X_Digger Jan 2012 #49

No. ellisonz Jan 2012 #57

I think you'll have to find something more than your supposition to support that.. X_Digger Jan 2012 #58

I'm not playing games. ellisonz Jan 2012 #59

Dr. King was not a pacifist, but endorsed non-violence in the context of political change X_Digger Jan 2012 #60

Never said he was...but he certainly wasn't a militarist. n/t ellisonz Jan 2012 #61

Remember, this sub-thread started with you saying.. X_Digger Jan 2012 #62

Posting truth and historical fact is now "twisting his legacy"? Wow..... n/t PavePusher Jan 2012 #70

I know this may be a surprise... ellisonz Jan 2012 #72

Did you not actually READ post 33? PavePusher Jan 2012 #69

Yeah but not with an arsenal... ellisonz Jan 2012 #71

So, define "arsenal" as you relate it to private weapons ownership. PavePusher Jan 2012 #73

I think I made my point. n/t ellisonz Jan 2012 #74

Not really and you keep misusing the word DonP Jan 2012 #75

"Let me guess, you're not going to the SHOT show this week?" ellisonz Jan 2012 #76

Why *not* go? Think of it as opposition research. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #77

Ha... ellisonz Jan 2012 #78

Attitudes like yours have helped to make gun control the success it is today. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #79

I won't... ellisonz Jan 2012 #80

I'm glad of that. Unswerving dedication to a course of action is rare these days. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #84

No, you haven't. Please tell me what your definition is... PavePusher Jan 2012 #81

Again with the obsession... ellisonz Jan 2012 #82

..for clear communication? Yes. That's one of the principles of this site. n/t PavePusher Jan 2012 #83

Accusations of slander? From you? PavePusher Jan 2012 #68

On MLK day? Sheesh. nt rrneck Jan 2012 #2

Wish I could be there and get my name in the pot. ileus Jan 2012 #4

The so-called VCDL works hand-in-hand with the Young Republicans. Hoyt Jan 2012 #5

It does tell me something about them: They need more Democrats! friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #6

I think the vast majority of Democrats are not for more and more guns in public. Hoyt Jan 2012 #9

You are allowed to think that. ManiacJoe Jan 2012 #39

Haven't joined, but I am a member of their FB group. ileus Jan 2012 #17

"So called"? Do you mean that's not their real name? DonP Jan 2012 #8

There are not many, that is right. Hoyt Jan 2012 #10

That's not the question. I asked about proof. DonP Jan 2012 #11

One would hope that you are more polite with your guns than with your words. Starboard Tack Jan 2012 #18

How "rude" of me to ask for proof DonP Jan 2012 #27

Sorry, a poster who has admitted to "making things up to make a point" ... DonP Jan 2012 #31

You're not sorry. You are now calling him a liar. Starboard Tack Jan 2012 #34

He's admitted to lying - that's why I called him a liar, get it? DonP Jan 2012 #35

"I lay awake nights worrying about what gun control supporters" ellisonz Jan 2012 #45

That doesn't even make sense for you. Get some rest, you obviously need to calm down. DonP Jan 2012 #54

Oh I'm calm... ellisonz Jan 2012 #55

It's their real name, but let's be honest -- they are just promoting guns in public. Hoyt Jan 2012 #13

Many anti-rights folks... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2012 #19
