From my cold, dead. hands! Except in Detroit and Chicago - Page 201 - Politics and Economics

Note that Pratt is probably not a shill. He's a mark. His resume is pretty much exactly what'd you expect from someone Tsao respects:

He's also a big English-only guy and funds anti-abortion types. So, Tsao, that's your boyfriend. He's not remarkably worse than the usual scum you admire, but he's also not any better.

standard. he's wrong because of stuff completely unrelated to him being right.

makes sense!

also lol @ him being someone i admire, i'd never heard of him until i posted that video, and only remember his name because it's pratt and morgan is a pratt.

whatever he is, morgan (and all those who share his viewpoint) got thoroughly owned in that video and looked like an idiot.

So, this isnt true, then?

No, it's true. It happened. I don't know how often, because googling it reveals a lot of pages of white supremacists getting excited about how the Koreans got to shoot black people.

What dog whistle means is that mentioning it has a different meaning to different audiences.

the fact that your side will fail at banning guns doesn't change the fact that it wants to succeed.

Not confiscating guns is EXACTLY what a group of people who wanted to confiscate guns would do. God, Tsao, you should become a detective.

Dunno about USA, but in Europe in case of a RIOT , the government compensates the financial loses to the victims.

This has some interesting data, but unfortunately very little in the way of analysis as to what the op-ed author makes of it. I think it should make relatively clear that a higher number of guns doesn't necessarily translate to a higher rate of murder, even though the United States leads in both categories among high-income developed nations.

Carolyn McCarthy and Michael Bloomberg are spokespeople for those who support gun control. Piers Morgan is a clown with a TV show.

the gov't takes this money and uses it to (1) run the training courses / psycho test for new gun applicants, (2) expand the medical health capabilities in the U.S., and (3) buy back any guns now deemed illegal in the upcoming new legislation.

is this something NRA members and gun lovers could get behind? this gives the gun lovers a chance to be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem.

Still no response to either of these. And regarding the smart guns:

Quote:

The NRA has also insisted that smart gun technology would infringe upon the second amendment.

It's just ridiculous that the NRA's stance, or any gun nut's stance, is that the solution is more guns on the streets. I'm sure there are many responsible gun owners who carry, who train and practice shooting, and take great care to safeguard their weapons. But I think that these gun owners are in the minority of everyone who owns a gun. I have a feeling the majority of CCW holders have done the bare minimum requirements to get their permit.

For an armed populace to be effective, all permit holders would have to train regularly. Otherwise it would be like an army just handing out rifles, shooting a few practice rounds, and telling the soldiers to go take that hill.

I would think that the if the NRA was serious about responsible gun ownership, they would be at the forefront demanding tighter regulations on who was allowed to carry in public. Right now it just looks like they are lobbyists for the gun manufacturers.

****ing Obama is really pissing me off. Delegating to Biden, refusing to call out the NRA. Memo to Barry: you won twice. You don't have to run ever again. You can call these mother****ers out dude.
