1. Never bring a smilie to a gun fight.

I think LynneSin should go to that thread and post her Kumbaya smilie. I bet that would cool things down.

2. I couldn't resist. I had to get in there and make at least ONE smart-ass comment.

11. A good one, bertha.

I was thinking the same thing, but you'd already said it for me.
The myth that most of us are "gun grabbers" is bad enough when Repubs believe it, but fellow Dems?

4. Geez.

Talk about flamebait....:wtf:

[trof]

5. Wow. Next thing you know they'll be after smokers.

Oh...wait...

6. No matter what you believe about the issue

telling a whole bunch of people that if you don't think the same way as us leave the party isn't at all a smart thing to do. I thought thats what the other guys did...THat might be the most offensive piece of crap I have seen posted in GD to date

7. as someone who is kind of neutral on this issue

I admit sometimes I can't help stirring the pot, mainly to the 'gun nut' side. I'm sorry.

9. Meh

People have a right to believe what they want. I'm personally a gun control advocate. But I don't think I have the right to tell people who are "gun nuts" to leave the party either...

[unpossibles]

10. I don't do that either

I posted that before I went to the link - that is pretty extreme, imo.

We're big tent people, and to tell gun control advocates to leave is ridiculous, imo. I do lean more toward being for control - I am fine with ownership, but would prefer more education,training, and licensing for ownership, as well as some of the other safety ideas, like trigger locks, etc.

In short, I think guns cause a lot of problems and should be less easily available, but not banned. I am far from a "gun grabber" as this person says, and am sick of the NRA's bad analogies. If they want to compare guns to cars, then fine: go get a gun license.

8. Beauty of a flame-fest....

Of course, THAT won't get locked... :eyes:

[racaulk]

15. You spoke too soon...

But it was quite a flamewar while it lasted, huh?

[huskerlaw]

12. And he supports Kucinich?!

:wtf:

:rofl:

[Hobarticus]

13. "Oh no, K only wants to take handguns, not ALL guns."

Stuff writes itself...

[huskerlaw]

14. O RLY??

It certainly does write itself. Oy.

[NoPasaran]

16. Purging gun-grabbers makes Baby Stalin cry.

[Renew Deal]

18. lol

:wtf:

[DainBramaged]

17. Well now we know who they are, don't we

I hate invasions of the snooty snappers.

[rug]

19. Somebody should sic a pack of pit bulls on that thread.
