[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are we talking about?  People who don't personally want a handgun, and think that owning one is a bad idea?  Or people who want to legally ban handguns?

Because the former seems to me a perfectly legitimate position.  The latter seems to exist only in the minds of paranoid gun-nuts.  And, yes, while not everyone who owns a handgun is a nutjob, there are many, many nutjobs who own guns.  Most belong to the NRA, and think--irrationally-- that Obama has worked tirelessly to take your toys away from them.[/quote]

So in your mind most of the people who want to own handguns are nutjobs but the people rallying at pro choice rallies and spamming my moms inbox about conservative lawmakers that want to take away her rights to even use birth control are perfectly rational and sane. [/quote]

You'll probably want to go back and re-read what I wrote if you're confused:

[quote]while not everyone who owns a handgun is a nutjob, there are many, many nutjobs who own guns[/quote]

And if you're rallying to prevent the black Islamofascist black guy in the White House from taking away your guns, then yes, you're a nutjob.  And furthermore a rube.

I think the main reason people are worried about conservative lawmakers that want to eliminate the right to use birth control is that one of the two frontrunners in the GOP primary is a batshit Christianist who has gone on record as saying that Americans have no right to use birth control.

[quote]Here is an actual Rick Santorum quote: “One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country.”[/quote]  Furthermore, he has explicitly attacked our Constitutional "right to privacy" that access to birth control, among other things obviously, rests on.

Think about that for a second.  If Obama gave an interview and said that about guns.  You guys would never stop shitting your pants in indignation.[/quote]

This is where you sound like the nuts you so describe.[/quote]

A compelling line of argument.

[quote]The original question was simple. How can a group of people who support people doing what they want to their own bodies be so against an individual's right to protect themselves. Most people who own guns aren't out toting around M16s and AK-47s. Most people have them for protection. You immediately jumped to the "all gun owners are anti Obama. This has nothing to do with Obama. You sound really unhinged.[/quote]

Who is "against an individual's right to protect themselves?"  A link?  Hell, a name even?  [/quote]
