But he loves me and I love you

It will be just like your online interweb persona where your fecal deposits pile almost as high as the Milky Way. awww I must have hurt your feelings at some point.

So if I support murder but don't do it, does that make me a liberal? And if I oppose it, I'm a republican? Did you ever herp so hard that it made you derp?

I'm going to start ringing my property with poo. My neighbor and I can chat near the border.

You can tell this is a serious piece of journalism. LOL the whole article reads like a bad facebook post. Written by Fox's token "liberal" -- you know, to make it balanced. Fuck knuckles

Voluntary.....for now maybe. Do you even own any guns?

Have any of you even SEEN the milky way? Your data is no better than mine.

My career is going to suffer this week, for sure. :cough cough: Not feeling so well.....

America doesn't even have a gun problem. I have FBI data! NRA 4Evr!

BUT I HAVE FBI DATA!!!!

I could use a warm baguette right now

hahahaha.....and you make fun of me for not believing our government about 9/11. Nutjob baby. Kevbone hates science

forgetting the rope. Oops

Please explain.

another example of guns making us safe

Properly made springs will last for a really, really, really long time (basically until corroded or damaged) -- also, I think even regular use within the tolerance of the spring should not really "wear it out" I wasn't a mechanical engineer major or anything but I remember reading about this very topic regarding springs in gun magazines (the context was regarding if it hurts the springs to keep the magazine loaded indefinitely -- it doesn't, though many gun manufacturers want you to think so.) someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also I suppose it matters what type of metal we are talking about? Anyway, can't a good ski shop test their release for you and make sure the DIN is accurate, etc.? A friend of mine just mounted a pair and he said they did that

I'd ski em.

They actually only scrapped registration of long-guns, and it was scrapped after the conservative party gained a majority. Sound familiar? Do you actually know anything about their gun registry? I do. The wikipedia article on it is pretty good, if you're interested in studying this stuff. It's also interesting to note that Toronto police estimated nearly half of the (unregistered) handguns used in crimes came from -- can you guess?? -- the United States. We're totally awesome neighbors. BTW, if you would like some info on countries that have successfully registered guns and how they did it, I would love to share that info with you. Canada's was pretty half-ass, as will ours be, I'm sure. But, don't forget that Canada's gun homicide rate is quite a bit lower than ours, so obviously their gun control is not completely ineffective.

There are lots of things we have successfully prevented felons from doing. Buying guns, unfortunately, isn't one of them. Thanks, NRA!

So what is your suggestion to curb our gun violence? Arm everyone? BTW, I couldn't care less about banning assault rifles or not, I'm way more interested in my registry idea. I won't cry if they ban assault rifles but I will cry if they ban assault rifles and do nothing else. If you cannot even acknowledge that it is TOO EASY for criminals to get their hands on guns, then you're clearly disingenuous, or ignorant. Both? Hope not. What is your plan to make it harder for criminals to get guns? Sounds good to me. Everyone should be like you (unfortunately, they're not). Nobody wants to take away your guns. They just want you to register them. (or, at least, I do.) Registering = proving you are one of the good guys. (BTW, I grew up with guns, currently own guns and was previously an NRA member. I'm selling them, though, want them? My pre-ban mini-14 with the folding stock already sold, though. Sorry! It was pretty sweet) a laughable comparison. This is what makes me give you the blah-blah-blah statements. Does voting kill tens of thousands of americans a year? Are you also against car registration databases and driver licenses???? lolz. you get a "blah blah blah" for that statement, for sure. I know, that's why I said MOSTLY illegal. The regulations around class III firearms are, imo, mostly a success and proof that gun regulation and restrictions CAN work. You're making my point for me, thanks!

of course, after making the new laws basically impossible to enforce by limiting the ability of the federal government to actually enforce them, the NRA will then complain that existing laws aren't being enforced and that's why we don't need new ones. what a bunch of fuck knuckles.

You can not be serious right? No really? In the other post I posted up the FBI crime FACTS showing that since the sunset of the '94 AWB violent crime rates, homicide rates and gun crime rates have gone down. If anyone's opinions are based on emotions, ideology and not reason, it is the anti-guns crowd begging for a ban on scary lookin' black gunz. In case you missed the other post: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8 Note that "assault weapons" IE: AR-15 style firearms are considered rifles. If ya'll were serious about saving people you would be going after handguns. blah blah blah. I think if anyone was serious about saving people, they'd devise a way to track and enforce (all) gun sales properly. If you want to pigeon-hole on this assault rifle thing, be my guest, but I find that conversation less interesting than discussing real ways to track gun sales. Banning assault rifles and not instituting a proper ownership and title-transfer system for guns will be much less effective since, as you say, most people are killed by handguns. Does that mean, though, that just because most people are killed by handguns that we should let ANY type of gun be legal? Very few people are killed by M60's, and they should still be illegal. Very few people are killed by hand-grenades, but they should still be legal. Why not assault rifles? Of course, the point of outlawing assault rifles isn't to reduce handgun deaths. The point of outlawing assault rifles is simply to outlaw assault rifles, on account of their potential for mayhem (the same reason M60's are mostly illegal btw). The real change will come with a proper gun registry, outlined as I described. But you sure are attached heavily to this assault rifle thing, aren't you? Like a dog with a bone. (BTW I doubt a proper gun register outlined as I described will happen anytime soon. I'm sure the NRA will find a way to make it ineffective, as they have done for the last few decades)

neat I just downloaded his essay, I can't wait to get home to my reading chair with a glass of Stranahan's to digest it.
