    Yeah I agree.

    They won't leave it alone until all guns are banned

    And I was just pointing out that Hogg did the same - so I saw no more hypocrisy in his actions than the NRA's. Got a problem with that?

    You said you don't believe something. We can hold that over for a factual debate.
    Are you really arguing against this on a "federal budget is too high" argument? I guarantee you that a public referendum subsidizing the cost would pass overwhelmingly.

    okay let me change that I dismiss the claims you made, they were made without evidence they can be dismissed without evidence.

    no not really my argument is what you propose does not correct the problem you mentioned. I can sell a gun illegally and report it stolen just like I can now? My argument is that making laws and distracting FBI and for this stupidity that will do nothing is pointless.

    Well fantastic but it's still pointless.

    Welding apocracy is suggesting that people shouldn't be allowed to have guns while hiding behind men with guns.

    Don't get me wrong I understand why he does that men with guns can protect you from crazy people with guns but just as true as that is for David hogg or anybody else in that position it is for any school.

    Understanding that people with guns protect you from bad people with guns undermines the entire argument he has spent months making

    This does not apply to any of my guns.
    So, you'll leave me alone now - right?

    What "black market"? Guns are legal to buy, own and sell in all 50 states,
    Federal law has covered this for, literally, 50 years.

    You made this up.
    Ther's no demonstrable need for this, no way to enforce it, and criminals won't bother with it.

    Wow! Tone and content has really changed. I guess somebody figured out that you have to sell a bad thing incrementally, a little bit at a time, or it won't sell at all.

    Liberals don't believe that though. They believe you can create law with your pen and a napkin, Like Obama did for 8 yrs.

    It's kinda hard to find places to hold NRA conventions that allow people to be armed. it's not the NRA but the convention holder.

    Little Shitler seems to be fading:

    Are you a Democrat, a Republican or a Southerner?

    The answer can be found by posing the following question:

    You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.

    Suddenly, a terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams "Allah ho akhbar!", raises the knife, and charges at you...

    You are carrying a Kimber 1911 .45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
    You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
    What do you do?

    THINK CAREFULLY AND
    THEN SCROLL DOWN:


    Democrat's Answer:

    Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

    What is a Kimber 1911.45 ACP?

    Does the man look poor or oppressed?

    Is he really a terrorist? Am I guilty of profiling?

    Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

    Could we run away?

    What does my wife think?

    What about the kids?

    Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

    What does the law say about this situation?

    Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?

    Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

    Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

    Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

    If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

    Should I call 9-1-1?

    Why is this street so deserted?

    We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day.

    Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

    I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

    This is all so confusing!

    ............ .......... ........ ..... ......... ....... ........ ........ .

    Republican's Answer:

    BANG!


    ............ ....... ...... ........ ......... ........ .......... ....

    Southerner's Answer:

    BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
    BANG ! BANG! BANG! BANG!
    Click..... (Sounds of reloading)

    BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!BANG!BANG!
    Click

    Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy!'
    'Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?!

    Son: 'Can I shoot the next one?!'

    Wife: You are not taking that to the Taxidermist!

    Hogg comes from a gun-owning family and has never argued for the removal of all guns.

    Hoggs dad is retired FBI

    But David Hogg is on record as not respecting his parents

    so it proves nothing about the son
