Hard to take the rest of your post seriously after this BS.
The most devout Christians I know are my Uncle Jim and the minister that my cousin married. They do not 'approve' of gay people (and we have had my arguments about the topic) but they are both incapable of hate. It just isn't something that they can process. Maybe they are the exception to the rule but if everyone could have the mindset that they have this world would be so much better.
I must have missed the part of my post where I excused Trump for his comments. And I must have missed where conservative right wingers opened fire on gay folks.
You want to debate my comment fine let's go. You want to go off on tangents and pretend I said things I never said nor inferred then STFU.
Yea and if Isreal just gives the Arabs land for a country they will leave Isreal alone too huh. Oh wait
We have a pond on each side of us though that is a little different than over there.
Do not know who is worst. The idiot poster who said such a terrible thing or the idiot who liked the post. Just a pure despicable thing to say.
This is such a false equivalency. The vast majority of the 10K number that you quote are targeted homicides. That is, criminal knows victim and wants to kill them. While tragic, the gun isn't really the problem, it's the person.
In the case of these mass shootings, the person is obviously still the main issue, but an assault rifle allows them to compound the number of victims. If the Orlando shooter uses a typical handgun, maybe he's not able to kill as many people. Maybe more people escape.
The stupidity comes in that some people are so sure that they're right that they aren't even willing to discuss the issues at hand. That's true stupidity. It's a gray issue and people on both sides of the aisle see only black and white. This thread is proof positive.
which side's leadership uses these events as political footballs before the bodies are even room temperature?
People should have the right to defend themselves. By any means necessary.
All of them. Both sides. Your team and the other. Every. Single. Time.
I'm all for the right to bear arms, but I don't think that the average citizen needs an AR-15.
I'd say you're full of ish but since you're a ul fan, that would be redundant.
I would also be supportive of background checks that check to see if you are a wingnut or terrorist
I'm a registered Republican who typically votes that way, so if you're implying that I'm some kind of Democrat, well, you're a big part of the problem.
Hilarious that people still think "their" side doesn't do the exact same thing as the other when it comes to politics.
:cool2: that will show 'em

Good one. Way to take a real life tragedy and tie it into a sports rivalry. Really great stuff.
I do not care for Trump. On this issue he is 100 percent spot on. You do not let people into your country that are coming to destroy you.
I hope he hangs this around Hillary's neck.
BTW, Trump is a lefty to me.

This person went through a background check. I guess he didn't say "yes" to the "do you want to commit jihad" question.
Again, false. And the Sypher affair humbled Rick too, right?
There is no comparison. I have seen hundreds of gun law tweets from writers and pols today and nothing similar from Reps.
Is your car capable of going faster than the posted speed limit? If so, you don't need it; therefore it should be banned. Wanna talk about how many more fatalities are a result of motor vehicle accidents stemming from excess speed than gun violence?
oh, the POTUS using it for his agenda and fundraising is cool but random catpaw poster tying it to a rivalry joke is off limits?
It pains me to say it, I own guns, have used them most of my life, but maybe it is time to rethink selling guns like the AR 15.
I know 99.9% of the people that own them will never use them for more than plinking, but we can't dispute that they make it easier for someone to fire many rounds without reloading.
It's a slippery slope, because technically they aren't fully automatic, they're essentially a semi automatic hunting rifle made to look like a military weapon, which they aren't. However, they do have clips that hold many rounds.
They woukdnt be my first choice for home protection, I'm going for effectiveness and practicality, that's my shotgun.
I'm torn on the issue, because I know that it won't stop someone hellbent on killing people, and the Antigun crowd won't stop with AR 15's.

The terrorist is American. He was born here. Is Trump going to ban him from being born?
Go ahead have a hunting rifle and a handgun stashed under your mattress in case of a burglar. If you want an AR15 join the Marines.
I'm not even in support of an assault rifle ban to be honest, but the fact that a person who was twice investigated by the FBI for suspected terrorist ties can just walk into a gun store and buy essentially the same weapon that the military uses in combat is insane.
Utterly insane.
Utterly insane.
Allowing thousands to maybe millions of people in that will produce thousands more of him is the point. Try harder.
And, as always, I hope they bury this guy in a hog gut. Except this time I hope they throw in an mp3 player with the longest available battery life set to repeat of Liberace and trance music and turn the volume up to 11.
“Facts don’t seem to matter to this administration, in this matter,” James Woolsey, who served as director of the CIA under President Bill Clinton, told Fox News after Obama’s statement. “This reluctance is doing real damage. You can’t effectively fight something if you can’t discuss it.”
Too busy discussing gun control and being as dramatic as humanly possible.

But you think the average criminal does? If someone has the potential to attack my home with an AR 15, why shouldn't I be allowed to have one to fight back with? It doesn't matter if I have an automatic weapon, what matters is that I don't shoot innocent people with it that pose no threat to my life.
There are already laws against average citizens owning fully automatic weapons as well as laws against shooting people. More laws won't change anything. Taking guns away from people that do not intend to do harm only empowers the criminal element, including our "government".
