"Hey, some guy on the net is upset because you are exercising your rights, albeit in a kind of dumb way"

"Oh, well in that case, I will stop. Guessing then folks will stop trying to take my guns, adding more and more laws to make themselves feel all better, and stop treating all gun owners like they are crazy maniacs."

"nope, now this here feller believes that if we don't all a come down on you then their ain't a decent gun owner out there (except those who work for the government, them's all good folk and only folks like cheyney should be allowed to own guns) - so he done gonna tar and feather fifty million folks if we all don't act at the same time on this"

"but merle, we all act good every day and don't up and hurt no one any hows!"

"I know son, but some of them fellers out there only understand bias and bigotry when it is something or someone they like, they just up and hate us cause someone wronged them or someone they know so we all have to be blamed"

let's get this straight: Police can stop & frisk anyone they want in NYC but OR police can't get ID TeamPooka Sep 2013 #133

Actually, NYPD can't just stop and frisk anymore, furious Sep 2013 #134
