61. Again, it's not terrorism. Anymore than OWS refusing to vacate property after being ordered was.

If you're so gosh-golly-darned convinced it really-truly-honest-to-goodness TERR'ISM!!! then how do you feel about Obama abdicating his oath? People act like Bundy fired on Fort Sumpter but then seem to what would be analogous to Lincoln declining to respond with barely more than a boilerplate statement.

It's real easy for the blowhard chickenhawks to stomp around a forum thumping their chests but at the end of the day their puffery doesn't stand the test of reality.

Woman's life threatened by gun 'enthusiasts' after developing a safer firearm. [View all] RandySF Apr 2014 OP

These "enthusiasts" are nothing but bullying, violent thugs villager Apr 2014 #1

they are COWARDS Skittles Apr 2014 #2

They're terrorists. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #4

SAME THING Skittles Apr 2014 #6

No, they're not. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #19

IOKIYAR. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #21

Is that a new brand of Greek yogurt or something? I love that stuff! Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #22

It's OK If You Are Republican CrispyQ Apr 2014 #33

meh -- I like Greek yogurt better Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #38

LOL. "both sides" DanTex Apr 2014 #47

Yes, as proven by the blowhard posts about "terr'ism!!!" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #51

Oh yeah, I forgot, you were the one comparing Cliven Bundy to Rosa Parks. DanTex Apr 2014 #56

Again, it's not terrorism. Anymore than OWS refusing to vacate property after being ordered was. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #61

Please proceed, governer... DanTex Apr 2014 #63

You forget to post the picture of your goons aiming sniper rifles long before that picture was taken Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #71

And, obviously, the solution is guns for everyone! Cliven Bundy, the hero! DanTex Apr 2014 #75

As opposed to the idea that the goons should have a monopoly on guns? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #85

Actually, yes, the state has a monopoly on the use of force. That's part of what makes it the state. DanTex Apr 2014 #87

The state is lawful and benevolent, until it isn't. Throd Apr 2014 #90

Very profound. DanTex Apr 2014 #92

Your goons ARE the warlords. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #93

Of course the police serve the law. As do the courts. DanTex Apr 2014 #98

The police serve the law? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #108

The police serve the police. Throd Apr 2014 #114

Very profound again. DanTex Apr 2014 #120

Not true. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #139

Of course they serve the law. "Law Enforcement Officers". DanTex Apr 2014 #119

Just because the job description reads "Law enforcement officer" doesn't make it true. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #137

Yes, it is true. And the fact that occasionally they do bad things doesn't change that. DanTex Apr 2014 #140

I'm sure you are very proud of your unflinching obedience to The State. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #143

"I imagine that you prefer the company of murderers and rapists" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #149

Ah yes, the fantasy of women defending themselves from rapists with AR-15s. DanTex Apr 2014 #152

Since you asked -- Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #157

Umm, I don't see anything about an AR-15. And also, that was a robbery attempt, not a rape. DanTex Apr 2014 #158

"I don't see anything about an AR-15." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #159

Lordy. Here come the phony/cherry picked statistics from a right-wing website. Shocker! DanTex Apr 2014 #161

How does any of your cited article conflict with anything I posted? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #163

Wow, you read the article pretty quickly! LOL. DanTex Apr 2014 #166

"Wow, you read the article pretty quickly! LOL." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #167

Assault with a deadly weapon is nothing to you? Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #97

You mean like when the BLM goons were pointing sniper rifles at people? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #110

LOL!!! Thry THAT one before the judge! Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #175

You mean the people who are part of the system defend the system? GOLLY! Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #176

That's what you are doing, in case you hadn't noticed. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #177

take things literally, do ya? Skittles Apr 2014 #170

Why not go to those making the posts calling for drines strikes, etc. and ask them? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #171

I'll have to look into DRINES Skittles Apr 2014 #173

Of course they are. Iggo Apr 2014 #15

YOu do realize this woman is selling guns, right? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #20

"These 'enthusiasts'..."; "They are COWARDS..."; "Of course they are..." Iggo Apr 2014 #32

you're failing to distinguish between gun owners and gun humpers Skittles Apr 2014 #165

I imagine some of them traffic guns. Skidmore Apr 2014 #5

Ding ding we have a winner malaise Apr 2014 #12

Yeah but what about the so-called "free market" Proud Liberal Dem Apr 2014 #53

What free market malaise Apr 2014 #70

Exactly Proud Liberal Dem Apr 2014 #132

You are both right. The NRA doesn't really care about gun owners, they care about gun manufacturers, GoneFishin Apr 2014 #94

Like Leland Yee? Bazinga Apr 2014 #24

If the holster fits... Skidmore Apr 2014 #25

And I little sympathy for patent hypocrisy. Bazinga Apr 2014 #26

Meaning what? Skidmore Apr 2014 #27

Not you, Leland Yee. Bazinga Apr 2014 #30

No problem. Skidmore Apr 2014 #31

Really? You sure you want to play the "bedfellows" card? DanTex Apr 2014 #46

I'll consider that if you can show me "Cozying up" to anybody, much less Ted Nugent or Sarah Palin. Bazinga Apr 2014 #67

Supporting the NRA means supporting the Ted Nugents and Sarah Palins. DanTex Apr 2014 #72

Perhaps you have the receipt for my NRA dues on file. Bazinga Apr 2014 #84

OK, googled. An obscure state senator is the best you've got? Really? DanTex Apr 2014 #86

Again, hypocrisy should be condemned, no matter what letter is next to the name. Bazinga Apr 2014 #148

Sure, but you're highlighting the hypocrisy of some state senator that nobody cares about. DanTex Apr 2014 #150

A gun-controller doesn't know about Yee? Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #123

I don't think many people outside the NRA bubble know who that guy is. DanTex Apr 2014 #124

Yee's fellow CA controllers knew him quite well. Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #130

Not sure about that. Only the gun fanatics seem to know him. DanTex Apr 2014 #134

Ha! Such a "movement." We keep up with your guys better than y'all do. Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #155

True, right-wingers often obsess over obscure Democrats much more than Democrats do. DanTex Apr 2014 #156

Really not much point Turbineguy Apr 2014 #3

the true face of american gun culture... KG Apr 2014 #9

Half of her problem is she's a woman. Brickbat Apr 2014 #10

The other half is that she's Latina. KamaAina Apr 2014 #172

So you think making guns safer is not a political act? nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #111

Agree, disagree. I'm talking OPs in GD... Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #118

So you are telling me it is not a political act nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #121

So you agree that OPs about any gun news are Okay? Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #128

Why the uproar? If you don't want a gun with such a feature, don't buy one. Throd Apr 2014 #35

That's correct. But I can reason based on other technologies that exist, DanTex Apr 2014 #122

Your reasoning is faulty clffrdjk Apr 2014 #129
