wait.....I think the bigger question here is..... WHAT THE CHRIST ARE YOU DOING WATCHING OPRAH!
"But when it comes to selling them, it's just like a TV or a sofa. It's just something that gets them 300 bucks, and that's what they're concerned about. It blows my mind.""
Olin's dream, he says, is to do something about gun violence in America.

The winner quote... (danger, rant ahead)
Well, a**h***, its OUR F***ING RIGHT to buy a gun like a TV or a Sofa, that's the way it should be, you f***ing a**hole. Do you need a permit to speak, to be on Oprah? Well, maybe with all the garbage coming out of your mouth, maybe that's a good idea? Obviously I'm being sarcastic..... because unlike you, I actually believe in someone's civil rights. Your right to spew verbal diarrhea on television is no more or less protected than my right to buy, own, and carry firearms. Part of the deal is I HAVE TO RESPECT people's civil rights, even if sometimes I'm not comfortable with the outcome. That is part of being an American. It's part of a functional, free society. Anything less than that is being a f**king commie or facist douchebag. Mind you, these rights... large numbers of Americans have DIED for you, in the process of trying to protect them. [sad2] Yet all you do is piss all over their sacrifices. Maybe you didn't think about that. You probably don't think about that, otherwise you wouldn't be spewing garbage, regardless of whether or not it is your right to do so.
I want to shout at him... "Hey, f***ing idiot- if you, or someone in that room, or even that building, had a gun, maybe you would have never been shot, or far fewer people would have been hurt. Apparently that didn't occur to these brainless f**k. Maybe he would have thought, for a split second- hey wow this is VA, and... well, someone might have a gun and try to stop me....? Maybe.
Anything is better than what happened there, even if the right still may not have been exercised....
Yeah, well how about eliminating the 9000 laws which only leave law abiding citizens defenseless? Further, what the f**k is gun violence, and why the f**k is it special? If the crazy guy beat you to within an inch of death with a shovel, would that somehow have been better? Would you be pushing further regulation on shovels?
Gee, I wonder if Sugarmann, Brady, et al, have "wined and dined" this kid. This is pure anti gun stockholm syndrome BS.
F**k these people. I don't care if he is a victim or not. He is a waste of f***ing oxygen. I am apalled at the fact that this guy thinks that gun laws has anything to do with what happened to him.. The VT shooter passed a f***ing background check and like TWO DIFFERENT TIERS of gun laws. You cannot filter out every nutcase without severely infringing on the rights of citizens in the process. It's not possible.... so let's do the next best thing, allow people to defend themselves.

Epic Rant.
Epic Fail. Someone should explain to Mike that Gun rights aren't Civil rights.

Calm down people. Next year she'll have her own TV network. She's already lined up Rosie O'donell for her own show.

This reminds me of that obnoxious billboard on the east bound side of the pike in Boston.

Well, to be more "correct", human/natural rights endowed by our creator, whoever, or whatever that might be. Constructs like the US Constitution and "civil rights" laws only exist for the purpose of casting them into law, in an effort to keep government from encroaching on them.

PLEASE tell me this was a joke before I go all Gura on your ass.
Enter the Bill of Rights and our use of the term HUMAN Rights! Human rights are natural rights, fundamental and universal. This means that they cannot be repealed by any government. Civil rights are individual rights which exist by virtue of legislative action and consent of the people. Human rights are what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they drafted the Bill of Rights.
According to Barron’s law dictionary CIVIL RIGHTS: “Rights given, defined, and circumscribed by laws enacted by civilized communities… Also, defined as rights of a citizen or citizens, and laws relating to the private rights of individuals and to legal actions involving these.”
Sounds good doesn’t it?
Now let’s take a look at the definition of HUMAN RIGHTS:
“As the right to organize politically, worship freely, (and to own a gun). Thought of as belonging inherently to each human being and not to be taken away or interfered with by arbitrary or repressive government action.” In other words, your right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”! Rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights!
