Gun control feeds on emotions and unsubstantiated opinion. nt hack89 Dec 2011 #22
Like irrational emotions/fears don't affect those who carry one or two guns in public. Hoyt Dec 2011 #29
They represent no threat to you yet you fear them. That's not rational. nt hack89 Dec 2011 #30
40,000 TPartiers carrying guns for intimidation is a threat to you and everyone else. Hoyt Dec 2011 #32
And how many liberals have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Tea Party? hack89 Dec 2011 #33
You're right, bigoted TPartiers would never use their guns to intimidate minorities, etc. Ha. Hoyt Dec 2011 #34
Good thing minorities have the right to own guns. Protecting oneself from evil is a good thing. hack89 Dec 2011 #35

Is zero deaths your goal? A single death justifies a total ban? nt hack89 Dec 2011 #31
it makes some people feel tougher more "manly" JI7 Dec 2011 #37
