The Gun Control Thread

[jhale667]

Obama is the FUCKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Of course his kids have armed bodyguards. They're called the Secret Service. Jenna and Tonic Bush had them too. And their guards had to follow them around on their drunken exploits, which had to be a real drag for those guys.... hanging out with drunk chicks and not being able to fuck them.

The NRA always says some sick outrageous bullshit, but they really went overboard with this one. Now just like Sarah Palin's website with the targets was taken as an open invitation by that sick fuck Laughner, some other psychopath will probably take this ad as an invitation to target Sasha & Malia.

Agree that's an epic fail on the NRA's part... but again, false equivalency arguments are conservatard's stock in trade, so not completely shocking.

Bad NRA Ad indeed. A cheap political campaign ad that doesn't address the actual issue(s)

Yes, I do.

Ditto. Otherwise it's a little TOO fucking ironic.

[Seshmeister]

No it's not...

Go on a SSRI forum and read how people describe getting urges to kill or harm for no apparent reason...

Yes but only after you started posting there...

[Seshmeister]

The SSRI issue ??

I totally agree...

Your SSRI, sorry Alex Jones SSRI nonsense was completely debunked a few pages back.

I guess we are just to pretend that never happened?

Just curious, over the course of these 41 pages has anyone discussed that The Republican Messiah, Ronald Reagan, supported gun control....

You Know Who Else Supported Gun Control?
by David Frum Jan 15, 2013 11:00 AM EST

Ronald Fricking Reagan supported gun control, as Brett Josephe reminds us in an op-ed for the Hartford Courant.

While still president in 1986, Reagan signed into law the Firearm Owners Protection Act, which was hailed by gun rights advocates because it included numerous protections for gun owners. However, it also banned ownership of any fully automatic rifles that were not already registered on the day the law was signed.

Then, in 1991, four years after the controversial Brady Bill was introduced in Congress and with passage again in doubt, Reagan penned an op-ed in The New York Times titled "Why I'm for the Brady Bill." In it, he expressed support for a seven-day waiting period before a purchaser could take possession of a handgun, an even more stringent restriction than the five day cooling-off period that was included in the final legislation, and less stringent than the 15-day cooling-off period he signed into law as governor of California. Reagan stated that prohibitions on sales to felons, drug addicts and the mentally ill had "no enforcement mechanism" and that "a uniform standard across the country" was necessary.

Regarding handguns, Reagan stated, "This level of violence must be stopped … If the passage of the Brady bill were to result in a reduction of only 10 or 15 percent of those numbers (and it could be a good deal greater), it would be well worth making it the law of the land."

Finally, in 1994, Reagan successfully threw his support behind the Assault Weapons Ban in a joint letter to the Boston Globe, saying, "As a longtime gun owner and supporter of the right to bear arms … I am convinced that the limitations imposed in this bill are absolutely necessary."

The last paragraph, particularly, says it all.

Unless...

"Suppose everyone was unarmed and you own property, maybe a ranch, that you paid for, taxes and all and hold the deed...

Then a corrupt leader sends thugs to confiscate your land because the state wants to sell it to some corporation..."

Plot to future bad Kevin Costner film, compliments of Elvis.

Most of you people live in la la land...

I've had worse things said about me. I'm all for agreeing to disagree here.

Ronald Reagan had dementia.
