From my cold, dead. hands! Except in Detroit and Chicago - Page 16 - Politics and Economics

So we can treat it like a DL, perhaps? Instead of the usual 125+ dollar course, you can thumb thru a free manual, take a small written test, then every now and then prove you can hit targets marginally accurately and you're good for 5-10 years or so all for the cost of about twenty to thirty bucks?

Ok but you know that's not how it's gonna go. Plus that it not real competence.

The next time a bullied teen drives around in his school running kids over in class and the cafeteria and when nutters run over unarmed teens walking home with skittles or other nutters run over a couple of unarmed burglars running one's head over when they survive the first hit then there will be strong car control advocate calls I am sure.

Victory will be when they're carrying concealed legally in NYC, Chicago and LA, and it's career suicide for the Mayor of Chicago to so much as suggest restrictive gun legislation.

So you're winning (aka more people can get and carry guns wherever they want) but somehow at the same time there are all these nefarious plots coming to fruition to take the guns away from the poor? Seems contradictory.

Well it's important to remind liberals that their plantation mentality hurts the poor and minorities most.

Guess who the top non-Presidential recipient was of NRA spending this last 2012 cycle.

Spoiler:

Oh, but maybe he was running against a gun control advocate?

Far right southerners schooling people on 'plantation mentality' is a great time indeed.

Yes rjoe, there's simply no way to remove someone's right to bear arms when they are convicted of a crime.

Fly, can you give a quick summation of the position of most of the gun rights advocates ITF regarding the NRA?

Edit: They also spent heavily against Claire McCaskill, who was running against the OTHER rape guy. I always thought the "R" stood for "Rifle" but I may have been mistaken

And NO you haven't. You've created a revenue seeking licensing system that in no way demonstrates competence. A system whereby your ability to work, be free etc are completely related to a license. Armys of police on every street looking for any infraction that can generate a fine, ever infraction threatens your right to drive, but for a fee you can keep it.... So yeah **** that.

You are aware (probably not, few gun control zealots have much working knowledge of actual gun law) that convicted felons (as well as misdemeanor family violence offenders) are forbidden by law from "purchasing, possessing, transporting or attempting to purchase" firearms or ammunition, correct?

I am somewhat amused he believes he lost his credibility with me over an issue I don't care about and a candidate I've never supported.

I do not sir.

And frankly being lectured on equality be someone who works fulltime on keeping the sharecroppers placated is sickening. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

No. As a matter of fact I'd say anyone is pretty ****ing racist who stereotypes committing felony crimes as a "minority issue".

DBL likes to switch being for or against something depending on whichever point he thinks he's making. Just like him posting that picture while in other threads posting pictures and then being like 'lol i don't believe in that stuff' or whatever he claims after people tell him it's dumb propaganda.

ETA: And the use of 'racist'. He really hates it when he's called on it but won't hesitate to try and attach it to anyone he can irrelevant of what they actually said.

I think the pervasive issue contributing to the continuation of these gun control arguments is the fact that people lose the fear of their government. Trusting and loving your government is pretty ****ing stupid and trusting and believing in yourself (and therefore other individuals) should be expected imo.
