Unintended comedy alert. The American public came to its senses, seeing you couldn't ban something LittleBlue Oct 2015 #2

At least the "unintended comedy alert" part of your reply was correct. villager Oct 2015 #3

People are neither physically dependent on guns, nor can they manufacture them in a bathtub frizzled Oct 2015 #19

Guns can be homemade fairly easily, as any Australian bikie or Afghan peasant can tell you friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #23

Ah yes, we forgot about those "homemade mass killings" that have happened in Australia villager Oct 2015 #25

What do you propose to do about the 300 million extant guns in the US? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #29

Damn, LittleBlue, you know how to spoil a party. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #12

So to be clear, E38 -- you support the NRA, and think they should continue to thrive? villager Oct 2015 #15

Glad to see that you're standing watch for Communi... err, NRA sympathizers here friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #24

Since "NRA Sympathizer" means you, and since there's no moral difference between them villager Oct 2015 #26

"Since "NRA Sympathizer" means you..." A lie- and you are not the first to promulgate it friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #34

Or possibly preventing the NRA from denying the CDC relevant health related studies again LanternWaste Oct 2015 #46

Really? The CDC did one a couple of years ago. Here's an excerpt: friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #67

Around the same time you quit answering direct questions on DU? villager Oct 2015 #41

I don't respond to vacuous inquisitions ("are you now, or have you ever been...") Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #49

No, what you're doing is dodging the fact you support the NRA. villager Oct 2015 #50

Actually, you have told a lie. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #51

Defeating the NRA doesn't mean banning guns though. Bucky Oct 2015 #37

Rifles of any kind aren't the problem, per the FBI: friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #38

What's really appalling -- and unsurprising -- is that they are here *defending the NRA* villager Oct 2015 #8

I think any DUer who supports the NRA should be banned. Right wing nuts! Nt Logical Oct 2015 #10

I agree. We don't allow racists to post here. Why do we allow NRA defenders? villager Oct 2015 #14

True! Or RNC members or KKK members. Nt Logical Oct 2015 #16

Exactly. And there is zero daylight between NRA defending, and anything else on that list villager Oct 2015 #17

You support the NRA? Really? Nt Logical Oct 2015 #11

How does my statement IN ANY WAY demonstrate support for the NRA? pablo_marmol Oct 2015 #21

Don't you know that chanting "NRA!" is a sovereign remedy? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #27

The people asking the question I posted? Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #28

Really, that is funny to you? Calling DU member right wing nuts? nt Logical Oct 2015 #33

Eleanors38 isn't the one that's been claiming that other DU members are NRA sympathizers friendly_iconoclast Oct 2015 #36

They are the Poo Fighters! Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #48

Please show me where the NRA has used racial rhetoric? Kang Colby Oct 2015 #55

WP: "Most gun owners don’t belong to the NRA — and they don’t agree with it either" villager Oct 2015 #56

I don't really care. Kang Colby Oct 2015 #59

By definition, you "don't care!" "You're the NRA!" villager Oct 2015 #60

That's right. I don't care for gun control. n/t Kang Colby Oct 2015 #62

And I don't care to have NRA errand-runners off the "ignore list!" villager Oct 2015 #63

What were they expecting? Kang Colby Oct 2015 #61

I'm guessing juror #3 needs to bone up on the Democratic Party platform... cherokeeprogressive Oct 2015 #68

My precise thought! Lizzie Poppet Oct 2015 #69

Exactly. Plus I tend to resist "If you believe ____, you're not one of us!" kind of thinking. cherokeeprogressive Oct 2015 #70
