Highlight:

I think O'Malley and Hillary are just posturing after this recent gun tragedy. [View all] retrowire Oct 2015 OP

Bull! This is an important issue and needs to be addressed. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #1

Whaddya mean bull? Of course it's an important issue and it is being addressed. n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #2

And Hillary and o'Malley are doing the right thing by addressing it. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #4

They're all addressing it though. retrowire Oct 2015 #6

You said they are posturing. I say Hillary and Martin are standing on principle. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #10

Hmmm retrowire Oct 2015 #15

Well you can call it whatever you want but I love her proposal. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #19

Fair enough! Good talk. n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #23

go to the link and read what Ben Carson said. No bullet riddled body is reason roguevalley Oct 2015 #90

He is such a horrible person. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #94

He is repulsive. ronnykmarshall Oct 2015 #98

No, they are both willing to risk political capital by taking a stand! leftofcool Oct 2015 #3

Risking political capital? retrowire Oct 2015 #5

Hillary risks losing some Dems by calling out the NRA leftofcool Oct 2015 #7

They're all calling out the NRA though. retrowire Oct 2015 #11

the BS is so thick in here I need a shovel. Bread and Circus Oct 2015 #29

Yea, gun control is so BS leftofcool Oct 2015 #64

that's not what he's calling BS. n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #101

WOW ... That makes my support for Martin O'Malley all the stronger ... 1StrongBlackMan Oct 2015 #8

Before? n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #9

Yes ... before! ... 1StrongBlackMan Oct 2015 #16

You mean this one? retrowire Oct 2015 #46

Oh. Okay ... I didn't know you were focusing on that piece of the legislation. ... 1StrongBlackMan Oct 2015 #95

i think both are impractical retrowire Oct 2015 #103

Hmmm ... 1StrongBlackMan Oct 2015 #113

They market their product by lobbying congress? retrowire Oct 2015 #116

The gun industry markets to kids LuvLoogie Oct 2015 #131

oh geez... that's terrible! :/ n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #133

THANKS!!! elleng Oct 2015 #111

Yes, they're trying to land blows when the opportunity presents itself. Maedhros Oct 2015 #12

Is the president trying to land blows? hrmjustin Oct 2015 #22

The president isn't a candidate Armstead Oct 2015 #41

The candidates are running for office and are advocating policies. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #45

And they shoukld advicate poilicies. No problem with that Armstead Oct 2015 #52

Sorry but i find it very difficult to believe. If Sanders was out front like this you and the hrmjustin Oct 2015 #55

Saying he's "compromised" is the kind of lie I am referring to Armstead Oct 2015 #70

He voted go protect gun manufacturers and against the brady bill. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #72

If that's your humble opinion you are welcome to it Armstead Oct 2015 #78

It is his record. You guys have no problem criticizing positions Hillary took in the 90's hrmjustin Oct 2015 #80

Would that have changed this? Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #83

Compromised. Good one. Do I even need to start posting HC gun statements? DisgustipatedinCA Oct 2015 #120

Good enjoy your superiority complex. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #121

That was tried once before and failed tularetom Oct 2015 #13

At what point are we allowed to get serious about this issue... DCBob Oct 2015 #14

Totally agree. n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #17

Amazing isn't it? n/t. 1StrongBlackMan Oct 2015 #18

Amazing how many posters on this site have done a 180 on the gun issue because hrmjustin Oct 2015 #27

Indeed. DCBob Oct 2015 #32

The turnaround is just sad and dissappointing. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #33

Oh wait, retrowire Oct 2015 #36

I am saying some posters who were here in during the Newtown Tragedy were very hrmjustin Oct 2015 #39

"They" still are pro gun control, as is Sanders Armstead Oct 2015 #57

Was not talking about you. Plenty of us see what happened here. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #62

How? retrowire Oct 2015 #37

Who says its unproductive?? You, Bernie and the NRA? DCBob Oct 2015 #40

Plenty of changes that could work, yes. retrowire Oct 2015 #42

Those are good... but I think we need even more. DCBob Oct 2015 #47

I agree with all of those great ideas. retrowire Oct 2015 #53

I still think manufacturers bear alot of the responsiblity. DCBob Oct 2015 #54

I don't see how they're responsible for the idiots that use their products. retrowire Oct 2015 #60

Guns are different. They are extremely dangerous devices which only function as weapons. DCBob Oct 2015 #65

We have those laws. retrowire Oct 2015 #68

The laws need to be stiffened. DCBob Oct 2015 #69

Which is what all Democratic candiates are pushing for Armstead Oct 2015 #85

I don't think it will jack_krass Oct 2015 #109

They do Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #86

Hypocracy at it's worst. Dawson Leery Oct 2015 #105

What? retrowire Oct 2015 #107

When it's not used to score political points and misrepresent a candidate who is also.... Armstead Oct 2015 #44

+1 n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #49

^^^^^^ Exactly, both are trying to score political points from the latest tragedy. n/t slipslidingaway Oct 2015 #61

Bernie is welcome to come on board to help the cause. DCBob Oct 2015 #63

He IS on board Armstead Oct 2015 #74

OH, get over it! Gloria Oct 2015 #21

I want to hear both candidates sadoldgirl Oct 2015 #24

I hate to say it, but... 99Forever Oct 2015 #25

Huh? n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #26

Sad response on your point. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #30

Oh please. 99Forever Oct 2015 #43

Wtf are you talking about Obama's shoes for? Is that an attack on him. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #48

What guy doesn't have the courage to do it? retrowire Oct 2015 #50

He does not go as far as Hillary. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #51

Far enough to allow people to sue gun manufacturers? retrowire Oct 2015 #56

I think it is very productive. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #58

How? Please explain how. retrowire Oct 2015 #67

It will make the gun makers want to be a part of the solution. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #71

Don't they already print warning labels saying not to point this gun at someones face? retrowire Oct 2015 #75

Stop making so many guns. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #76

...Ok. retrowire Oct 2015 #81

I don't give two shits if gun makers won't make more money. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #84

well retrowire Oct 2015 #87

We disagree! hrmjustin Oct 2015 #88

That would create a nice black market Armstead Oct 2015 #82

And she doesn't go as far as O'Malley., askew Oct 2015 #89

Good on him. He was a governor and was in a position to do this. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #93

Yes his work as governor was excellent regarding this issue. retrowire Oct 2015 #108

Bernie voted against background checks multiple times in the Senate. askew Oct 2015 #126

UPDATE, no need for a source, I did my own research. retrowire Oct 2015 #127

Because promises on the campaign stump, are forgotten after taking office, that's why. 99Forever Oct 2015 #77

Neo liberal? Go sell that on free republic. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #79

Fuck the "free republic." 99Forever Oct 2015 #132

Oh spare us your fake fucking outrage. NuclearDem Oct 2015 #66

Bernie has a great record on gun control as well. retrowire Oct 2015 #73

That's quite a display of anger. DisgustipatedinCA Oct 2015 #123

Don't bother. 99Forever Oct 2015 #136

LOL! in_cog_ni_to Oct 2015 #135

How would any of that have prevented the shooting in Oregon? n/t PoliticAverse Oct 2015 #28

Well remember the male toxicity thing I mentioned? retrowire Oct 2015 #34

what ideas do you have that would stop mass gun shootings? Evergreen Emerald Oct 2015 #35

Do you think that gun control is totally meaningless? DCBob Oct 2015 #38

Background checks would definitely help. Assault weapon ban would cool down the gun market. Hoyt Oct 2015 #31

Yep you get interesting looking Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #91

But the yahoos want the military and militia flavored ones. Banning them will Hoyt Oct 2015 #99

yep Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #100

I don't care if you have a 6 shooter at home, but other than hunting (animals, not people) Hoyt Oct 2015 #104

of course they are ibegurpard Oct 2015 #59

I haven't seen where they're... one_voice Oct 2015 #92

I'll help you out retrowire Oct 2015 #115

Well...here's the thing... one_voice Oct 2015 #128

thanks for the info! n/t retrowire Oct 2015 #130

Thud! ronnykmarshall Oct 2015 #97

Not this poor little Bernie nonsense again. Dawson Leery Oct 2015 #102

Actually. retrowire Oct 2015 #106

BALONEY! elleng Oct 2015 #110

no no no.... O'Malley is great for gun control, I agree BUT retrowire Oct 2015 #117

Gotcha. We can discuss. elleng Oct 2015 #122

Hmmm retrowire Oct 2015 #124

Doesn't anyone care about the companies? Students and kids are getting killed, not gun companies. FSogol Oct 2015 #142

Except that O'Malley fought the NRA and won in Maryland. He has a record FSogol Oct 2015 #112

That's not what I'm talking about. Read the OP. retrowire Oct 2015 #119

You are cherry picking from a whole slew of proposed changes to reach the conclusion you want. FSogol Oct 2015 #137

I'm not really going out of my way here retrowire Oct 2015 #139

I agree with you about manufacturer liability, BUT... Jim Lane Oct 2015 #114

Here ya go. retrowire Oct 2015 #118

Bernie is correct. delrem Oct 2015 #125

Welcome to the big leagues Bernie! ChimpersMcSmirkers Oct 2015 #129

I really detest that phrase - in_cog_ni_to Oct 2015 #134

and in_cog_ni_to Oct 2015 #140

totally agree again, yeah it's a double edged sword retrowire Oct 2015 #141
