The politicians are doing what they were elected to do. |
that is typical of the NRA and other pro-gun supporters. They do not care about other people, only their incorrectly interpreted rights to arm a militia. A flame thrower, yes, it is our right. A machine gun, yes it is our right. The founders that had muskets had the foresight to legislate that all weapons should be legal and available to arm militias. Their lunatic leader is against background checks, you see the felons and mentally ill deserve handguns too!!! The halting testimony of former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, gravely injured in a mass shooting two years ago, may have provided the most gripping moments of the Senate's first gun control hearing this session. But the star witness on Capitol Hill on Wednesday was Wayne LaPierre, the National Rifle Association's top lobbyist. LaPierre, who has spent 35 years with the NRA, sparred with congressional opponents pushing for new gun control measures, and warned darkly that enacting a universal background check on all weapons purchases would be a "nightmare" come to life for law-abiding gun owners. http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2013/01/30/170679024/lapierre-fights-to-stop-the-nightmare-of-background-checks |
IF the gun shop owner decides to move (and I hope he doesn't), he should give up the space to someone who will turn it into a day laborer center. Certainly this would be endorsed by Foust, McAuliffe, Strauss, etc? |
Such a center is the most brilliant idea yet, on this entire thread. Location is ideal. Moms of McLean can bake the cookies. Where do I sign up? |
Always fun to watch people jump the shark and start babbling incoherently. |
Where's your suggestion? |
Sorry you don't like my idea, Vicky, but your nine bathrooms aren't going to build themselves, you know! |
Lol! This is getting fun. |
it is. the percentage of paranoid losers is rapidly decreasing. The share of American households with guns has declined over the past four decades, a national survey shows, with some of the most surprising drops in the South and the Western mountain states, where guns are deeply embedded in the culture. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/us/rate-of-gun-ownership-is-down-survey-shows.html?_r=0 |
The petition has about 1400 signatures now. Should we call everyone supporting the gun merchant "Rachel" just because the store's bookkeeper started her own petition? |
Different poster here, but I think admin will probably allow you to call people (almost) anything you like. Just my observation that Vicky sticks out like a sore thumb. Her hate is vile. No one else comes close. |
This would concern me a lot more than some dude buying .22 ammunition for his range pistol. |
Those statistics undermine your "paranoid loser" hypothesis, you know. Gun ownership is declining because hunting as a sport is declining. Gun owners aren't the paranoid losers that you portray. They are hunters and hobbyists. |
We could offer ESOL instruction at FS. |
I have no idea what you are talking about or which posts you are referring to, but you're living up to the "paranoid loser" label with lines like "her hate is vile." She's literally like one of hundreds of parents in the area who don't want a gun store near a school. Why do you find her so threatening? |
