"Now is not the time for a gun debate"

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

263. Thank you for proving my point....

Any attempt to make even the slightest restriction on gun ownership gets met with 100% resistance. And anybody who suggests a compromise must be a "gun grabber" intent on leaving you with no rights at all. For your information, dumbass, I own three rifles and a shotgun and have been a hunter for forty years.

And we'll never be able to do what you suggest becuase you and lunatic friends in the NRA actually OPPOSE prosecuting strawman purchases, because you OPPOSE using background checks and tracing guns from their point of purchase. No ballistic fingerprinting, no gun show restrictions. Any measure that might even slightly restrict the free-for-all arms trade, including restricting exports to other nations, is met with fierce opposition. In other words, when you helpfully suggest that other methods might be used, you're lying through your teeth because you're opposed to those methods, too.

You say that we should work on the "root causes" of crime, but don't want to do anything about firearms. So guns are not the root cause of gun violence? Really? Seriously?

It's because of your kind of bullshit that an over-reaction is going to happen, and then you'll piss and moan about your rights being violated.
