  1. You're just repeating yourself without pointing to anything that the NRA actually does. The NRA advocates that mentally ill people should have guns, as should criminals and whatever a violent bully is that is somehow different than a criminal, and that straw purchases should be legal? Where are you getting this from?
  2. Okay I obviously don't get the vibe of this place, or at least this thread. I got neg rep from somebody for saying the parties call each other liars all the time. Somebody else wants me to prove that (even though it's obvious and there's examples of it happening every day). So let's agree she's a nutbag and I'm out.
  3. fair observation look she's obviously a dipshit
  4. I respectfully disagree. I think both parties are constantly calling the other side insane liars.
  5. Actually Parkland and Sutherland Springs probably could have been stopped by simple application of existing laws. Who would have red flagged the Sandy Hook shooter? The psycho POS mom who bought her kid guns and got murdered for it?
  6. Yes she sucks but having 400 dem staffers complain about anything a republican does is not a heavy lift. How would you feel about 400 republican staffers complaining about Eric Swalwell? If your response would be anything other than "who cares?" then something is wrong with you.
  7. What is it that the NRA works against that you and most gun owners want? Please explain.
  8. I'm all for people buying whatever they want to defend themselves and I'm sorry dumb laws prevent that in some situations. I keep all my guns unlocked in a safe because I have kids and live in a nice neighborhood (few if any recent Jussie Smollet sightings) so the cost/benefit analysis works that way for me. But if people feel the need or desire to be fully armed, that's cool with me.
  9. I was already in Delta II Carry Pattern Alpha or whatever the gun weirdos say these days.
  10. Agreed. I was relatively careful about ear protection growing up and I still have considerable damage.
  11. Yes I agree. And suppressors are good for people who don't want to damage their hearing and for hunting. And sawed off shotguns may very well be good for self defense. I'm not arguing that these laws are correct, just that I don't care all that much.
  12. I think it's a dumb law but it does not bother me because it has no real impact on the core right embodied in the Second Amendment, which is the right to keep and bear arms that are commonly possessed for lawful purposes. I think use of suppressors should be legal and should be encouraged, and that the law (which was rational when it was passed because at that point only bad guys were using them) should be reevaluated. But I don't really care one way or the other. There are plenty of dumb laws that don't accomplish anything and I'm not trying to be a dogmatic libertarian.
  13. This whole attack on abortion will have disastrous collateral consequences.
  14. You've jumped to all sorts of conclusions about what I do and do not think, made accusations of bad faith against me, and apparently have not even read my posts critically. So, I mean, do what you want. My only point was that the pro-gun side currently has little reason to compromise for two reasons. The first is that historically the compromise position has become the new baseline. The second is because they are currently winning the culture war. But I completely understand the counterposition that failure to compromise ultimately tails to destruction.
  15. I couldn't care less if you put me on your ignore list or not. What a childish thing to even say in the context of somebody who disagrees with your opinion but is not trolling or being inflammatory. Anyway, I've already said I'd be open to red flag laws if proper procedural safeguards were implemented. And, not that you asked, but other gun control laws I am fine with, or would be fine with, are restrictions on machine guns, SBRs, suppressors, anything not commonly kept for lawful purposes (brass knuckles, sawed off shotguns, etc) and requiring NICS checks for any non-gift transaction, especially a sale.
  16. I don't know if I understand your point. SB8 is a great example of a shitty law that is forced down the throats of a legislative minority.
  17. that's how you do it good job please listen to me and have a beer lunch at Cafe Mozart
  18. Just to clear the air, I thought the first Reacher movie completely blew ass
  19. All I'm saying is that a petition from staff on any partisan issue would not be that difficult to put together, but thanks for the hissy fit about it.
  20. In fairness, a parade float of a handgun is the most progressive thing Oxford has ever done.
  21. These things were achieved through compromise?
