Hey Newt and Sarah - 10,000 people are killed by guns each year in US-I bet lots of their survivors

[Empowerer]

are offended by the presence of guns.

How do you feel about letting those victims tell their neighbors who want to own guns that gun ownership is insensitive to their pain and then force them to get rid of the guns or move somewhere else?

[mzteris]

1. or people killed in car wrecks.

Or slip in the shower. Or die from eating FAST FOOD - NO MORE FAST FOOD JOINTS EVER BUILT ANYWHERE!! (Hey, I could actually support that one! ;) )

[Hansel]

14. Or beaten to death by their husbands or boyfriends.

I'm offended by men's clubs! Gorbachev, tear down that pole!

15. you can have my quarter pounder...

when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers :)

[cartach]

25. You wouldn't be referring to

your penis would you?

[katandmoon]

2. K&R great analogy

[xchrom]

3. Recommend

[MadHound]

4. You want my neighbors to have the power to tell me to get rid of my guns?

I don't think so.

What context is this in, and why should my neighbor be able to force me to get rid of my guns?

[Control-Z]

5. It's an analogy.

[MadHound]

8. OK, it's a contextual thing, cool.

[Empowerer]

7. I'm making an analogy - and your response helps make my point

Indeed - why SHOULD your neighbor be able to force you to get rid of your guns?

And, by the same token, why should the residents of the area surrounding Ground Zero be able to force their Muslim neighbors to move the Islamic cultural center somewhere else?

[seattleblue]

16. Poor analogy

There is no cultural center there to move. The neighbors already have their guns. See the difference?

[Empowerer]

17. Actually, it's an excellent analogy. But nice try . . .

[seattleblue]

18. I did try to get someone who doesn't understand logic to understand

A fool's errand.

[derby378]

6. Ouch, baby...

That smarts. But good point. Build the freakin' mosque and be done with it.

[jimmyflint]

9. OMG, are they building a gun store on the columbine or VT campus?

Maybe I don't understand the analogy.

[Empowerer]

10. Apparently, you don't . . .

[Empowerer]

11. self-kicked

[great white snark]

12. K&R - I'm offended by the presence of Newt and Sarah,

But they have the right to spew their crap whenever and wherever they want.

[polmaven]

13. Nice!

:thumbsup:

[old mark]

19. How about you move to China where they have gun control you would like...

I bet NO ONE gets killed over there, and everyone has the right to turn their neighbors over to the government...

[Empowerer]

20. Whoosh!

(the sound of the entire point whizzing right past you)

[old mark]

21. Woosh! Indeed- I didn't realize you had a point to make....

just more assholishness from the guncontrol lobby...


mark

[Scout]

22. look who's talking about assholishness and no point to make!!!

:rofl:

priceless, absolutely priceless.

[ladywnch]

23. to anyone who has attended a Palin rally: do they show up with guns

at her rallies too or only Obama's? I just wonder what her handlers would do if her followers started showing up wiht handguns and rifles.....

[cowman]

24. They do show

up with guns and her handlers have no problems with it. Not eveyone goes into a tizzy fit when they see a gun on someones side. It's funnier than hell to listen to the anti 2nd Amend groups like the Brady Bunch and the VPC.
I do get the OP's point, no one has the right to ban something just because it offends them

[Sheepshank]

26. Thinking of the tens of thousands of innocent lives lost and maimed

due to drunk drivers. Surely there is a bigger, more widespread, more immediate need to take care of that a building. Do you know how many time families of victims have to hear about yet another victim? They get to relive the horror over and over and scant little is done to reverse the trend...and yet another bar is opened. Another child is given access to the alcohol. I think the original analogy holds firm.
