When (not if, *when*) this bill fails to go anywhere in the Republican-held House... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #45
When indeed VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #47
The use of ink has caused untold millions of deaths, GGJohn Nov 2015 #37
Not without the bullets.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #40
GW's war, including bullets, wouldn't have happened if not for the pen GGJohn Nov 2015 #43
Not without the bullets VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #46
Do you honestly believe that the government will go without bullets? friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #49
Again, without the ink, the bullets wouldn't have been used, GGJohn Nov 2015 #50
Notwithouthebullets VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #54

Yes prohibitively... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #70
Maybe you missed the part where I said those aren't protected rights, GGJohn Nov 2015 #71
Firearms yes...bullets no... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #72
Again, GGJohn Nov 2015 #74
This bill has as little chance of becoming law TeddyR Nov 2015 #88
No...you can hve all the guns you want VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #89
I don't yet have all the firearms I want, but I'm working on it, GGJohn Nov 2015 #95

fewer bullets would.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #104
LOL. GGJohn Nov 2015 #107
So what is YOUR solution to those kids dying from their "responsible gun owning" parents guns? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #108
Open carry should be banned except for when hiking in the wildnerness, or hunting. GGJohn Nov 2015 #113
So should they be charged with manslaughter? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #114
If it warrants it, GGJohn Nov 2015 #124
Negligent homicide would be more appropriate. eom. GGJohn Nov 2015 #127
You think the progressive 2Aers have no solutions you should see the banners ideas. ileus Nov 2015 #133
Great new approach. beardown Nov 2015 #135
why stop there....why not a Nuke? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #138
How would you use a nuke to protect your wife coming out of Texas? ileus Nov 2015 #144
By Nuking Oklahoma of course VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #145
We used to only have spoons. ileus Nov 2015 #146
And if spoons were Weapons of Mass Destruction VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #147

Doesn't matter sarisataka Nov 2015 #51
Extinct? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #55
Climate change will take a while sarisataka Nov 2015 #57
"Check!"? No, cheap appeal to emotion- your schtick has been seen here many times before friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #61
Yeah nobody cares about children getting gunned down VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #64
Your approach long ago earned a name: Lovejoying friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #67
Doesn't mske me less right... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #73
It doesn't make you right, it makes you a demagogue friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #78
Children are dying.. VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #80
It's not as easy to gin up a moral panic as you seem to believe friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #148
Fewer every year. Face it, your desired moral panic won't happen anytime soon friendly_iconoclast Nov 2015 #149
The problem with that line of reasoning is that support for gun control has been going down kelly1mm Nov 2015 #137
No, it's not. Waldorf Nov 2015 #136
Planted articles and 'writers' led to Iraqmire beardown Nov 2015 #131
