But I certainly agree that pro-gunners are almost exclusively right-wing crazies.

The thing is, there are a lot of right-wing crazies in this country. If right-wing crazies had no political clout, not only would we have sensible gun laws, but we'd also have meaningful climate policies, a higher minimum wage, etc. I'm definitely not denying that right-wing idiots are capable of effective political campaigns.

Not at all. But you are... DanTex May 2014 #93

It's always funny when the NRAers complain about Bloomberg's involvement with gun control... DanTex May 2014 #11

Considering most of us have views the NRA opposes hack89 May 2014 #12

Hmm. That's an odd thing to say, considering that you are an NRA member... DanTex May 2014 #13

I vote for gun control Dems. hack89 May 2014 #15

Of course! You're a huge gun control advocate! DanTex May 2014 #17

Like I said, when you want to actually accomplish something let me know hack89 May 2014 #26

I will say all of those are idiots and I do not support them as they are extreme Duckhunter935 May 2014 #16

Yes, the leaders of the gun rights movement are all right-wing nutjobs. DanTex May 2014 #19

Who said I hated Bloomberg? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #21

I did. It's obvious from your posts that you have a single-minded obsession with the man. DanTex May 2014 #22

And you would be wrong again Duckhunter935 May 2014 #24

Bloomberg can do whatever he wants, I do not care Duckhunter935 May 2014 #18

Umm, evidently, yes, you do care. DanTex May 2014 #20

how do the gun manufacturers profit from gun violence? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #23

Umm, the same way that arms manufacturers profit from wars... DanTex May 2014 #25

so no proof Duckhunter935 May 2014 #31

Proof that gun manufactures make money by selling guns? DanTex May 2014 #37

you forgot the gun violence part Duckhunter935 May 2014 #39

So gun violence is not significantly less than it was 20 years ago? hack89 May 2014 #32

Lower than 50 years ago, no. DanTex May 2014 #34

Perhaps we should go back to the gun control laws of the 1960s? hack89 May 2014 #36

Hmm, "down" is an odd choice of words to describe by far the highest rates of gun violence DanTex May 2014 #38

I agree with the ACLU about registration hack89 May 2014 #61

Hmm, I didn't realize the ACLU wanted to dismantle the NFA registry. DanTex May 2014 #63

They opposed gun registration on privacy grounds hack89 May 2014 #72

I must have missed the part where they wanted to dismantle the NFA registry. DanTex May 2014 #74

They don't oppose existing the NFA registry hack89 May 2014 #82

Very bizarre thinking. I didn't realize the ACLU had veered way over to the right on certain issues. DanTex May 2014 #85

I know - personal privacy is such a RW value hack89 May 2014 #86

Privacy is important, but I don't know a single progressive who buys into that prepostersous DanTex May 2014 #87

It is none of the government's business what I own or do in the privacy of my home hack89 May 2014 #89

I guess that's a "no", you can't think of any progressives who buy into it. DanTex May 2014 #90

I know - the ACLU is a bunch of RWrs hack89 May 2014 #96

So that's the second "no" in a row. Still can't name a single progressive that buys into DanTex May 2014 #97

I know the ACLU is antigun hack89 May 2014 #101

Your position on gun registration is clearly right-wing. DanTex May 2014 #103

But their position on the 2A is a progressive one, correct? hack89 May 2014 #107

What are you talking about? DanTex May 2014 #109

I have never thought they agreed with me on the 2A hack89 May 2014 #111

Right, that's my point, sort of. DanTex May 2014 #52

Not really. NutmegYankee May 2014 #54

It comes down to advocating or promoting what a person says. NutmegYankee May 2014 #57

The choice of "in bed" betrays your viewpoint. NutmegYankee May 2014 #62

Yes, the "guilt by Bloomberg association" smear-fest does seem to show up every time. DanTex May 2014 #66

Both sides of the gun debate do it on DU. NutmegYankee May 2014 #69
