why not....I want you to have few of them! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #102

This is getting funnier and funnier, GGJohn Nov 2015 #105

It beats the shit out of ANY ideas you all have come up with to address the problem which is VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #106

i dont even care any more Travis_0004 Nov 2015 #34

Good give up... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #39

When (not if, *when*) this bill fails to go anywhere in the Republican-held House... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #45

When indeed VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #47

The use of ink has caused untold millions of deaths, GGJohn Nov 2015 #37

Not without the bullets.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #40

GW's war, including bullets, wouldn't have happened if not for the pen GGJohn Nov 2015 #43

Not without the bullets VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #46

Do you honestly believe that the government will go without bullets? friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #49

Again, without the ink, the bullets wouldn't have been used, GGJohn Nov 2015 #50

Notwithouthebullets VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #54

If it gets you away from the fantasy that this has a hope in hell in the GOP-controlled House... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #42

Yes prohibitively... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #70

Maybe you missed the part where I said those aren't protected rights, GGJohn Nov 2015 #71

Firearms yes...bullets no... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #72

Again, GGJohn Nov 2015 #74

This bill has as little chance of becoming law TeddyR Nov 2015 #88

fewer bullets would.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #104

LOL. GGJohn Nov 2015 #107

So what is YOUR solution to those kids dying from their "responsible gun owning" parents guns? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #108

Open carry should be banned except for when hiking in the wildnerness, or hunting. GGJohn Nov 2015 #113

So should they be charged with manslaughter? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #114

If it warrants it, GGJohn Nov 2015 #124

Negligent homicide would be more appropriate. eom. GGJohn Nov 2015 #127

You think the progressive 2Aers have no solutions you should see the banners ideas. ileus Nov 2015 #133

Great new approach. beardown Nov 2015 #135

why stop there....why not a Nuke? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #138

How would you use a nuke to protect your wife coming out of Texas? ileus Nov 2015 #144

By Nuking Oklahoma of course VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #145

We used to only have spoons. ileus Nov 2015 #146

And if spoons were Weapons of Mass Destruction VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #147

Doesn't matter sarisataka Nov 2015 #51

Extinct? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #55

Climate change will take a while sarisataka Nov 2015 #57

"Check!"? No, cheap appeal to emotion- your schtick has been seen here many times before friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #61

Your approach long ago earned a name: Lovejoying friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #67

Doesn't mske me less right... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #73

It doesn't make you right, it makes you a demagogue friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #78

Children are dying.. VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #80

It's not as easy to gin up a moral panic as you seem to believe friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #148

Fewer every year. Face it, your desired moral panic won't happen anytime soon friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #149

The problem with that line of reasoning is that support for gun control has been going down kelly1mm Nov 2015 #137

No, it's not. Waldorf Nov 2015 #136

Planted articles and 'writers' led to Iraqmire beardown Nov 2015 #131
