Letterman Throws Down on Guns: 'For the Love of Christ! When Are We Gonna Do Something?'

[beevul]

70. Its still a bullshit claim.

"My point was Jenoch shared a right wing talking point."

That, is still a bullshit claim. Pointing out potential hypocrisy is neither left nor right wing.

"Such an argument has been used for guns, and also to attack people like Michael Moore and Warren Buffet. "He criticizes the wealthy...isn't he wealthy? What a hypocrite hurr durr."

Again, that is still a bullshit claim. Pointing out potential hypocrisy is neither left nor right wing.

Some of us make no special "allowances" or believe in using discretion when it comes to people on our side.

Get over it.

Moving on, if you're going to use the word "potential" then explain how Letterman could "potentially" be a hypocrite...because right now all you have is a baseless accusation.

I never accused the man of anything, baseless or otherwise.

"So, because gun control failed to stop the recent shooting in CA we should consider if gun control works at all? Look even if gun control advocates achieved everything they wanted, eliminating gun violence entirely would be impossible. What we can do is work at making those instances of gun-violence as rare as possible. That's what gun-control is about."

In CA, they pretty much DO have everything they want. And, so many of the hard pushing "gun violence prevention" types see it as a road that runs through the rights of people who don't and wont commit acts of gun violence.

"That the law-abiding gun owner might be inconvenienced is just par for the course. Would I like to avoid going to the DMV every few years to get my license renewed? Of course I would, but I understand that the system makes the road safer for everyone. Gun control regulations are the same way."

Your license applies only to use of motor vehicles in public. Not to ownership or use on private property.

You folks want licenses for ownership.

With that said, why should we put the Hughes Amendment back on the table? Why should citizens have access to fully automatic firearms? As for concealed and carry, I'm happy with leaving that up to the individual state to decide.

As I suspected.

You see no reason to discuss what many on the other side see as greivances.

Why then, should you be surprised when nobody wants to compromise anymore?
