1) And round, and round, and round, in circles. People who think guns should be legal seem to believe that without guns, we would all be hacked to pieces in our homes or shot by those that still have them. A lot of people don't have them, and they're fine. But for the most part when murders are comitted in this country they are comitted with guns. It's easy. A lot of them are heat of the moment things that, it has been shown time and again, would probably not have happened if guns were outlawed. Suburban family shootings. At the TOP of the list of non-drug-related killings.
2) It AMAZES me that in a time when we're illegally invading people, when the rich are getting richer and the rest are working harder and longer than ever, and when our government is lying to us more than ever... that we are the MOST inspired to stand up and fight, the MOST passionate, and the MOST stirred by...... guns. No wonder there's fucking 50 gun magazines on the shelves of Wegmans which tells me I can't sell my CD there cause there are girls in bikinis inside. No wonder. There is a strange microchip in the computerized brain of this country that seems to think that the people should be free to live any way they wish and choose their laws and government EXCEPT if the people decide they want guns outlawed. Then suddenly it's cough cough, lets dust off the 300 year old papers.
3) WTF? How is it that THIS topic sparks more debate than, say, our illegal invasions and our modern day imperialism? It baffles me.
4)Oh. My. God. Fox News should hire you as their #1 preacher.
My god. What world do you live in. How many undocumented immigrants do you know? Those people support our way of life. They are shit on by all of us and for the most part not a whimper from them. Just trying to make that half-of-minimum-wage under the table paycheck to send back to Guadalajara for their impoverished family. They are used by the system. They are the backbone of America. Poverty leads to crime. Not immigration. Those people come to the richest country in the world to try and help the ones they love and end up being our slave labourers. Two dollars an hour in the desert heat. I will never understand where the human capacity has disappeared to, in Americans that cannot empathise with the plight of illegal immigrants. I think the years and years of Fox News have just indoctrinated half the land.
5) Absolutely fucking right. Anyone who thinks guns are untouchable should look up the meaning of democracy. Anti-gun lobbies aren't interested in silencing you or ruling over you with an iron fist. They are only interested in eliminating the #1 method for murder, which has been proven time and again, to be a CAUSE for murder. i.e. a lot of killings just would not LOGISTICALLY be able to occur, especially heat of the moment arguments and drive bys... if guns were effectively outlawed. It would take 50 years to get rid of them all. But in the richest country in the world, it could be done. And it should be up to the people of America to vote as to whether they want that or not. If it doesn't go well - the people can notice that and then, someday, vote to bring guns back. I'm damn sure once they noticed how much safer they were and how murder rates were plummeting... they'd be glad they finally woke up and smelled the
civilization.
