But your preference for gun rights over children's right to life is duly noted.

The Well-Regulated Militia had better shape up or they're gonna wind up with a hell of a lot more regulations per Constitutional mandate.

I never said that, but you are saying it as if I have, that means you are putting words in my mouth.

And I'm sure they are still glad they did.
They seem to think the way to prevent this kind of thing is to arm everyone.
As soon as a someone starts shooting all the teachers pull out their guns and mow the guy down.

What a wonderful world they envision for us just so they can continue to have fun shooting up tin cans with their assault rifles.

You can save yourself a lot of heart ache when you realize what Conservatives value. It's really quite predictable what things they will go after.

So please stop with the fake anger or read a book about the republican brain or just conjure up the direct opposite to what you value most to discover what conservatives are all about.

They've been pro regulation in many cases - where it helps big business against small & mid sized businesses. I don't have a list with me right now, but there were numerous times under Bush where people on DU pointed out that the Team Bush went to bat for Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Agriculture, etc.

for it to make a difference. So she would have to have an automatic weapon with her at all times. How would that work?
