Re: Gun Control
The problem is that ammo reloads cannot keep up
with the robust firepower of the power elite.
The shrews learned to escape the trampling dinosaurs by staying
warm in small hobbit like homes.
When the snows of Narnia melted (and they did)!
those wee fellas went to work repopulating an earth probably scarred by large meteors
and such.
The native intelligence of Lemurs is interesting because they are at the backbone of primate evolution.
They have large eyes.Last edited by lensperson; March 14, 2013, 10:46 PM.

Re: Gun Control
I had a right wing talk show on the car radio last night, wow, how insane. I see where these truly strange opinions come from, they guy was saying our Marxist president wants to take away your guns, real emotional. And of course nothing to balance the incendiary opinions, no grounding in reality. I would like to think I support free speech. But all you get on radio: ALL you get, is right wing delusional BS like this. Where does it lead? In Germany it led to Hitler, in Russia to Stalin. Free speech seems, to me at least, to imply a balance. All opinion in one direction is not free speech. Its propaganda, just like Goebbels ran for Hitler. If this is all thats broadcast to millions of radio listeners no wonder people go nuts and bomb federal buildings, like Timothy McVeigh did. I think its wrong that the radio monopoly gets to make filthy lucre putting out such destructive BS. Granted they know their audience, they know what sells, but so what? The poison that drug dealers put out is illegal and that only harms the users, the poison that the radio monopoly puts out produced the OKC bombing, it put GW Bush in office (it sure helped)(the election was so close that without campaigning by the radio monopoly he couldn't have won) and that produced 9-11, 2 needless wars, national bankruptcy, etc. Screw the radio monopoly, the owners are every bit as evil as the nut cases they have given the public airwaves to.

But, Kalalau, like so many love to profuse, "all you gotta do is turn the channel". Problem solved... NOT.

I can probably dredge up the article (along with others) and you'll probably trash it further as you have with your errant 'preponderance of evidence'. You like to catagorize me as a gun nut and such, which is completly ludicris, so here's how we can get rid of all the guns... start by getting/keeping all of them out of illegal-minded hands. Once you manage that impossible task then we'll be more attuned to your message. Until then, you'll just be getting a sore finger.

Talk radio is notorious for hate speech. Putting up with it is the price we pay for living here, where we are rather unusual in the world for prizing free speech. The Skokie case illustrates this very well: http://www.aclu.org/free-speech/aclu...-speech-skokie:
In 1978, the ACLU took a controversial stand for free speech by defending a neo-Nazi group that wanted to march through the Chicago suburb of Skokie , where many Holocaust survivors lived. The notoriety of the case caused some ACLU members to resign, but to many others the case has come to represent the ACLU's unwavering commitment to principle. In fact, many of the laws the ACLU cited to defend the group's right to free speech and assembly were the same laws it had invoked during the Civil Rights era, when Southern cities tried to shut down civil rights marches with similar claims about the violence and disruption the protests would cause.Greg

Re: Gun Control
Radio worked just fine with the Fairness Doctrine. In fact it functioned better. Not just in terms of providing listeners with reasonable opinions and alternatives, not just in terms of not stoking the flames of insanity, but in being inclusive. The right wing kukae on the air now is repellent, it drives listeners away. Begin by alienating the 35 % who consider themselves Democrats plus a big chunk of independents and moderate Republicans. Why is the Republican Party in so much trouble today? The radio industry is always pushing ridiculous candidates on the party, not reasonable people like Eisenhower but fools like that evil little maggot from Missouri with his nauseating concept of legitimate rape. My GOD what insanity. Radio is putting itself out of business. Good riddance. Romney's Bain Capital finances Clear Channel. Some Saudi prince finances Fox. Rev. Sun Myung Moon & The Moonies owned the Washington Times. These right wing people are pushing an agenda and you see the results in these mass shootings.

Re: Gun Control
tonight on TV, the news says that gun purchases are up significantly, but gun crimes are WAY down.
Short-term statistics, but it reflects what pro-gun-sensible-people have been saying for YEARS!

Re: Gun Control
Here's a real sad one. Seriously. From Georgia. A woman walking home with her 10 month old baby is accosted by kids with a gun, kids estimated to be between only 10 to 15 years old, the kids want to rob the mom, who has no money, they shoot the baby in the head, killing him. You will probably see it on the news, the mom is totally broken up as you'd expect. Part of the heavy price Americans pay for indulging the NRA its delusions and political might.

Re: Gun Control
That story is so bad I don't want to believe its true. Maybe it isn't. No witnesses. Hmmm. The only thing that would make it worse was if the mother killed the kid herself. It does happen. In any event it shows the problem of having all those guns out there. Its hard, maybe impossible, to get them back once they're out there. And once they are out there just by statistics some are going to get into the hands of evil people or crazy people or normal people who go crazy or who get drunk or fly into an uncontrollable rage. Plus the inevitable accidents and kids playing. Etc. Is life really that tyrannical, that miserable & oppressed in Canada or Japan or Denmark, etc, without so many guns out there?
