20. Rhode Island is a very small state.

Because I am active in the state Democratic party organization, I meet my Senators and Representatives several times a year. I told them to support gun control legislation with the exception of an AWB and registration.

Morning Joke ongoing false equivalency BS on mass shootings [View all] Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 OP

"Morning Joke!" That, is the best description I've heard of this morning charade that poses as RKP5637 Jun 2014 #1

Not mine, I picked that up over on Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #2

I watched this morning just to see him groveling and lying about what happened to mfcorey1 Jun 2014 #3

It gives him the chance to talk even MORE about his time spent in Congress, even though CTyankee Jun 2014 #6

A back bencher who acts like he was a lead-off man Mike Daniels Jun 2014 #38

Yup. A legend in his own mind... CTyankee Jun 2014 #50

It was Senate Dems that killed post Sandy Hook gun control hack89 Jun 2014 #4

That would be a better argument if it's actually what Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #7

UBCs are possible if the president gags Diane Feinstein hack89 Jun 2014 #8

The gungeoneers make the same idiotic argument here all the time. DanTex Jun 2014 #5

It is a little more nuanced than that hack89 Jun 2014 #9

So in other words, tosh Jun 2014 #10

There is widespread support for UBCs in the RKBA forum hack89 Jun 2014 #12

I think that a great many of us "controllers" tosh Jun 2014 #16

I vote for Dems that vote for gun control. hack89 Jun 2014 #17

Do you contact your congress critters tosh Jun 2014 #18

Rhode Island is a very small state. hack89 Jun 2014 #20

Tosh, you need to stop pulling people's cards because gunz. Eleanors38 Jun 2014 #28

Not pulling cards here... tosh Jun 2014 #45

Okay. Some of us get accused of not doing anything Eleanors38 Jun 2014 #54

Because the gun nuts don't actually want gun control laws. DanTex Jun 2014 #13

But when you smear potential allies as "gun humpers" hack89 Jun 2014 #15

I wonder what percentage of your DU posts are spent defending Republicans. DanTex Jun 2014 #19

Thanks for making my point hack89 Jun 2014 #21

And thanks for making mine, by consistently defending Republicans and attacking Democrats. DanTex Jun 2014 #22

Senate Dems killed gun control post Sandy Hook. I am supposed to attack them? nt hack89 Jun 2014 #25

Actually, it was the GOP. But keep attacking the Dems. You're making my point over and over. DanTex Jun 2014 #27

So why did the Democratic controlled Senate fail to pass a single gun control law? hack89 Jun 2014 #29

The same reason they didn't pass immigration reform, public option, and a hundred other things. DanTex Jun 2014 #32

Because it was a political miscalculation of monumental proportions hack89 Jun 2014 #34

Just make sure you don't blame the actual people who voted against it. DanTex Jun 2014 #35

They wouldn't have needed a single Repuke vote to pass gun control in the Senate hack89 Jun 2014 #39

20% of Dems and 100% of Reps. Sure, conservative Dems are part of the problem. DanTex Jun 2014 #40

It is a given that Repukes vote against gun control hack89 Jun 2014 #42

Trying to reason with Republicans hasn't worked well on any issue. Gun control is no different. DanTex Jun 2014 #46

Right now you don't even have all the Dems on your side hack89 Jun 2014 #48

The AWB failed 40-60 . Can't blame that on the Repukes hack89 Jun 2014 #30

Umm, every single Republican voted against it. Most Dems were in favor. DanTex Jun 2014 #31

I am blaming the political leaders that botch their strategy hack89 Jun 2014 #33

Whatever twisted logic you can come up with to avoid blaming the Republicans, I guess. DanTex Jun 2014 #36

So the Senate Leader is blameless? The guy who controlled the entire process and fucked it up? hack89 Jun 2014 #37

The people who voted against it are obviously the ones who are most to blame. DanTex Jun 2014 #41

I agree - both Dems and repukes. hack89 Jun 2014 #43

Republicans and *conservative* Dems. DanTex Jun 2014 #44

Democrats none the less hack89 Jun 2014 #47

Conservative Dems are a problem, yes. On many issues. The party has drifted to the right. DanTex Jun 2014 #49

I am liberal as they come on social issues hack89 Jun 2014 #51

Maybe. You really only seem to care about guns. DanTex Jun 2014 #52

ok nt hack89 Jun 2014 #53

Yes, we all know that you agree with Joe Scarborough. That was my point. DanTex Jun 2014 #14

No - we sometimes disagree with you hack89 Jun 2014 #23

Who's "we"? You and Joe Scarborough? DanTex Jun 2014 #24

ok. nt hack89 Jun 2014 #26

Its the same false equivalency bullshit again... butterfly77 Jun 2014 #11
