It is politicians like Ed Markey and S.2068 that are provoking an anti-smart gun backlash hack89 May 2014 #25

That reminds me, I need to make a donation to Markey XRubicon May 2014 #33

Have you also sent money to Bloomberg? Nt hack89 May 2014 #35

No he doesn't need money. XRubicon May 2014 #36

Besides, Bloomberg intends to go after incumbent Dems. Nt hack89 May 2014 #37

I'm sure that will make your side smile XRubicon May 2014 #38

Why? I support Dems pro- gun or not hack89 May 2014 #40

If there is no threat from the Democratic party then why do you react like XRubicon May 2014 #44

Good points.....I hate the NRA and they are mostly GOP idiots..... Logical May 2014 #43

I know some of their instructors and they are excellent. (n/t) spin May 2014 #46

To address your point... aikoaiko May 2014 #5

No proof it is because of more people carrying guns. But it is proof.... Logical May 2014 #6

Culture warriors seem to savor the possibility of violence. Eleanors38 May 2014 #48

Correct. The NRA is perfectly happy with our sky-high homicide rates, and does not want us to get DanTex May 2014 #19

Our homicade rate is at a 4 decade low. Travis_0004 May 2014 #23

We are about 3-4 times higher than other advanced democracies. DanTex May 2014 #26

I see RWers where there are RWers. DanTex May 2014 #51

What "RW positions" do you support? Eleanors38 May 2014 #60

The fear of being the victims of a culture war is what is driving gun sales... krispos42 May 2014 #50

Funny, I only see right-wingers talking about "culture war" when it comes to guns. DanTex May 2014 #52

Oh, so it was some other Hillary Clinton that spoke four days ago? krispos42 May 2014 #95

Hmm, doesn't seem to be anything about a "culture war". DanTex May 2014 #97

Golly---you mean all of this is the gun control side's fault? Imagine my lack of surprise. Paladin May 2014 #54

Don't you mean "our record low homicide rates make the NRA sad"? (nt) Recursion May 2014 #91

Larry Pratt has nothing to do with the NRA, he has his own rival organization. 951-Riverside May 2014 #22

Actually you would be surprised. dilby May 2014 #31

Most women toters are not as callous, bigoted and into guns as men. Hoyt May 2014 #32

I guess, but if I was raped twice and stabbed 17 times I probably would carry like her too. dilby May 2014 #56

Sounds like you carry now and haven't had anything like that happen to you. Women have more reason Hoyt May 2014 #57

Actually I don't carry at all, never felt the need for it. dilby May 2014 #59

Why do you assume none of these men vote Democrat oneofthe99 May 2014 #61

Pretty obvious to me. Why do you assume - now that Dixiecrats have folded - that bigoted gun lovers Hoyt May 2014 #62

There's a huge difference between "pro-hunting" and "pro-gun." Paladin May 2014 #81

There are a lot of distinctions that have to be made. NutmegYankee May 2014 #82

No, I'm definitely not part of that crowd. NutmegYankee May 2014 #86

LOL! Cognitive Dissonance NutmegYankee May 2014 #77

Nope, thinking one needs a gun in their pants while walking around is right wing IMO. Hoyt May 2014 #78

Gun ownership does not equal walking around with a gun in the pants. NutmegYankee May 2014 #79
