I think your idea about it being "proved conclusively wrong" is equally as ridiculous, but it really depends where you get your 'facts' I guess.
Regardless of the global warming debate, there are many other issues that concern those who are concerned about the natural environment and the...
When you have a party in power that makes it their main goal to get their allegedly small government involved in dictating uterine activities, bedroom actitivites etc.. right there you are going to get a very very large number of people to vote against them regardless of what they think of gun...
Well, there are a lot of flaws in the system. But I am not convinced that those flaws logically make it a great idea for every person on US soil, no matter what their history or situation should have access. Call me whatever title necessary, but I am just not convinced.
I understand that, however, there are a great number of liberals, progressives and 'lefties' who put their money and votes in that direction due to their support of other social issues. Yes, I know plenty who support gun control etc, but I also know plenty who either don't give a rats butt...
I don't know that it does prevent them from doing that, but it closes other avenues they might take to get a gun no? In the case that they did get a gun at the local highschool, that's why we have you right- armed and ready to remove said wackadoo from the roster of breathing humans... if you...
I do understand that, however, gun control advocates would respond with "that is why we take steps to make sure mentally ill people do not have access, such as permits required and laws about proper securing of arms." In that view, if gun owners and dealers were obeying laws, mentally ill...
Sorry you think I am troll, I am not. I just try to use my head. Not being able to imagine that there are more than one viewpoint within the populace that supports gun rights does not strengthen this movement.
You have good points there. I am sure there are many cases of a failed system, however that being true also does not make it a great idea to have those who really ARE mentally ill provided access to firearms does it? So, this bill or particular mental health systems or diagnosticians mail be...
Seriously, this is not a partisan issue, it is an American issue. Folks pegging 'liberals' as the enemy of gun rights are verbally shooting themselves in the foot. It is common sense for a lot of folks regardless of political lines, basically unless you are not interested in taking...
Hmm, well a very interesting thread.
I know I have been up close and personal with a few friends, who I would really have not wanted to have access to a gun, for their own safety before even mentioning others' safety. Ideology about what IS mental illness or who gets to decide what it is...
Thanks for the link, interesting video, not sure I fully agree with all that, but interesting.
I think we could use a little more 'democracy' here and little less corruption and wasted votes, but that is a different issue.
That guy looks like someone I know, maybe without the beard, but it ain't me, and I hate Pap Gino's.
My original post above was partially eaten by this site, timed out strangely.. but part of that was that alleged surge in recent gun sales, may or may NOT be due to alleged fears about Obama or...
I am new here from MA, fairly recently licensed and getting up to speed. I have really been interested to read the legal, political and technical information shared on this site,and being that it is local is even nicer.
Like everyone else I am painfully aware of based on politics how much we...
