Apparently some of our RKBA friends do, or they wouldn't be calling actors hypocrites for doing what actors do for a living.

Now who's deflecting Lurks Often Aug 2014 #16
Who are you referring to when you say "You"? Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #19
"I already give you the following. RKA. That's a helluva lot." Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #24
First of all, I don't have a "side" Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #30
OK, so you have no side Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #33
Good grief. So many falsehoods in what you posted. beevul Aug 2014 #43
Of course, only those with a "chip" on their shoulder. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #46
Yeah. beevul Aug 2014 #49
No. Just no. beevul Aug 2014 #25
odd way of bargaining Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #26
Thats how the "pro-control" folks have been doing business since... beevul Aug 2014 #27
Yep clffrdjk Aug 2014 #34
That's how bargaining works Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #32
we have already given over the last century of laws Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #35
I think your best idea is 50 state Reciprocity Kalidurga Sep 2014 #76

National Firearms Act Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #78
AZ is now constitutioal carry steelsmith Sep 2014 #154
You are just so full of it. beevul Aug 2014 #39
Except I didn't say outlaw anything. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #42
Address what I wrote first. beevul Aug 2014 #44
You can think I'm "pro-control" if that makes you feel better, but you are wrong. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #47
You just can't address it can you. beevul Aug 2014 #51
I did not say you should give up lawful carry Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #55
Bullshit clffrdjk Aug 2014 #57
Those goalposts get heavy Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #59
Lets get down to brass tacks. beevul Aug 2014 #60
Rights cannot be given up. They exist in in the absence of written law. nt Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2014 #125
Depends what rights we're talking about. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #126
Absolutely wrong. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2014 #127
I'm sorry Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #129
But you're OK when people defending their inherent rights are compared to ISIS and the Taliban. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2014 #130
I steer away from extremists of all kinds. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #131
"I steer away from extremists of all kinds." Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2014 #132
I was referring to his link with my "common sense approach" remark Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #134
seriously? gejohnston Sep 2014 #136
Yep seriously! He didn't lose any credibility. His link was good. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #137
not far from the mark? gejohnston Sep 2014 #140
You've been given suggestions, but you didn't like them, and/or ignored them. N/T beevul Sep 2014 #143
"I was not responding to the "ISIS" or "Redneck Taliban" comments." Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2014 #142
"The NRA and white privilege helps ensure you keep those penitentiaries well stocked." beevul Sep 2014 #144
And many who aren't extremists. beevul Sep 2014 #133
If you think I am a "gun control activist" then you have some serious problems ahead Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #135
I think you're someone who claims to want a discussion, then dodges inconvenient questions. beevul Sep 2014 #138
You got it. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #139
The bad guys are not going to stop carrying gejohnston Sep 2014 #141
See, heres the problem. (edited) beevul Sep 2014 #145
I'm not interested in compromising Lurks Often Aug 2014 #38
You have a nice day now! Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #40
Time will tell Lurks Often Aug 2014 #41
Oh, well you must be right. I wish you well. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #45
I don't believe so gejohnston Aug 2014 #61
Sorry, no deal. Straw Man Sep 2014 #64
I like the line Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #11
All good. Amazing what we can talk about when there is a will. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #36
Dialog is tried every once in a while sarisataka Aug 2014 #29
you are starting off with a false dichotomy gejohnston Aug 2014 #58
You claim you want a civil dialogue but then you immediately applaud a guy who calls others Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2014 #124
My plan would be to get a SCOTUS that would upaloopa Aug 2014 #9
LMAO Lurks Often Aug 2014 #14
I think you are definitely right on 2A needing an updated interpretation. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #15
No most gun owners would not Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #18
I don't speak for all. I give my opinion, that's all. Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #20
OK, fair enough Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #21
The NRA would love your insurance idea hack89 Aug 2014 #22
I find it interesting that your plan Jenoch Aug 2014 #31
or one of these Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #37
Where to begin? Straw Man Sep 2014 #66
I don't care about any of that gunner shit upaloopa Sep 2014 #72
Cannot debate the facts. blueridge3210 Sep 2014 #73
"we don't need no stinking facts" Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #74
I am not in a debate upaloopa Sep 2014 #90
You're on a discussion board blueridge3210 Sep 2014 #91
Look you do your thinking for yourself upaloopa Sep 2014 #146
Well, that was certainly clever. (nt) blueridge3210 Sep 2014 #147
You are a last word freak so reply to this and we can call it quits upaloopa Sep 2014 #148
Okay. (nt) blueridge3210 Sep 2014 #150
Of course you don't. Straw Man Sep 2014 #79
This is DEMOCRATIC underground. nt Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2014 #149
This is a re-run, here. What you will see is a response Eleanors38 Aug 2014 #7
Screw them. It takes having more money spent than upaloopa Aug 2014 #10
Can't make sense of most of your post. To be clear: Eleanors38 Aug 2014 #17
Another novel idea discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2014 #23
"Lift 'er up!!! Git er done!!!!" Having nothing to do with your reply or the OP.... NYC_SKP Aug 2014 #50
Good one Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #52
Satire this is not, I wanted subtitles. NYC_SKP Aug 2014 #53
Safety first Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #54
Brilliant! Starboard Tack Aug 2014 #56
lol discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2014 #63
High tech redneck. LOL! Eleanors38 Sep 2014 #82
"No More Lists"!!! K/R thank you so much for this!!!! NYC_SKP Aug 2014 #48
Here's a novel, and more productive idea: pablo_marmol Sep 2014 #65
Charming! I can tell you really want to find a solution. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #67
seems to me I see a lot of demands Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #75
Demand no new gun store... beevul Sep 2014 #80
Yes, you are right Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #81
Some are suggestions, some perhaps demands. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #86
"meet halfway" beevul Sep 2014 #94
Seems to me it's been moving completely the opposite way to what you describe. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #96
Yes, it is, because of decades of "meeting halfway"... beevul Sep 2014 #99
I see, you want it both ways. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #103
Most states simply went and adopted objective criteria and implemented the ONLY legal way for shedevil69taz Sep 2014 #105
Thank you. You make an excellent point. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #110
wrong gejohnston Sep 2014 #111
All very interesting, but you miss my point completely. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #114
no gejohnston Sep 2014 #116
OK 'nuff said Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #118
How about suggestions that are actually related to the problem? gejohnston Sep 2014 #119
You make no sense here at all. beevul Sep 2014 #106
Obviously, I am confused Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #108
Indeed. Allow me to rewrite that post so you can better understand it. beevul Sep 2014 #120
I am very surprised steelsmith Sep 2014 #155
Those who demand nothing?! pablo_marmol Sep 2014 #84
What am I demanding? Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #87
"What dishonesty?" pablo_marmol Sep 2014 #156
Methinks you came to the wrong party, my friend. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #157
Jeremy Renner is a hypocrite for appearing in this advertisement. Jenoch Sep 2014 #83
Ah, yes, the old meme that movies cause people to shoot each other. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #85
it isn't that movies cause anyone to do anything gejohnston Sep 2014 #88
I'm very familiar with product placement having worked in that industry for several years. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #89
then you know the effect gejohnston Sep 2014 #100
Sounds like you're going Tipper to me. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #102
No. gejohnston Sep 2014 #104
Good, because I never thought movies or games were the cause of violence Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #107
they portray characters that trivialize violence gejohnston Sep 2014 #109
Yeah, well there's that little thing called the First Amendment. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #112
who said anything about government control? gejohnston Sep 2014 #113
Must've been the way you used the word "should" Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #115
the actors themselves should gejohnston Sep 2014 #117
It's not about actors using guns in films Jenoch Sep 2014 #121
I guess by that standard, every actor must be evil in some way Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #122
Are you attempting to be obtuse on puroose? Jenoch Sep 2014 #123
I did not write nor did I imply that Renner's movies would cause people to Jenoch Sep 2014 #92
Many actors talk out of both sides of their mouths when it come to gun violence friendly_iconoclast Sep 2014 #93
I'm not familiar with the film or Renner Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #95
Renner was nominated for an Oscar for his role as a bank robber. Jenoch Sep 2014 #97
OK, now I remember. Great movie. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #98
Try Renner's "Bourne Legacy" for glorification of guns and violence friendly_iconoclast Sep 2014 #101
