In my much younger days, during a desert survival training segment, the instructor posed a question to the students. "We're lost in the desert. We have a pistol and a canteen of water. Which do you want?" A student quickly replied, "The canteen, of course." The instructor rolled his eyes and answered, "No. I want the pistol. Then I'll have the pistol and the canteen." :doh

yeah i was discussing SHTF scenarios with a peacenik

he said he was storing up food and water

I said I was storing up arms and ammunition

he said he would eat and unless I was a good hunter I would starve

he then figured out if the SHTF, people with arms will also be the ones eating

Well, since the 1 honest man in the world may not be in America this month, your point is esoteric.....................

Don't be silly. The fact that 90% of the people want this will have no impact on Congress. Congress only cares what the execrable NRA wants.

silly psychobabble but thanks for proving many lefties hate the NRA more than criminals
criminals usually vote for liberals when they vote, the NRA does not

That's exactly the position they take. You have to be willing to sacrifice a few dozen kids here and there so that Joe Bob can have his semi-automatic rifle.

moronic choice

in reality you lefties hope for more massacres so you can take joe bob's gun away because joe bob often opposes your beloved issues like tax hikes and gay marriage

You will now be told why the peasants ought not be able to be armed comparably to their wise overlords.

its strange for those who used to scream power to the people think the ultimate sovereign should be disarmed by their servants

you misread what I wrote

there are plenty of liberals who are not anti gun. Your Star for example. Redress is another (I am using them because they have been here a long time). The point is not that All liberals hate guns but rather every major league gun hater on this board identifies with the left

Modern progressives are anti-freedom. Armed people are free. Figure it out.

"Look: this is a very simple thing. There are people who want to take your guns away because they're planning to do other things to you that you won't let them do if you still have your guns. That's all there is to it, that's all there ever was, that's all there ever will be." - L. Neil Smith

Liberalism is a stolen term. Those who use it today have no understanding of the origin. I refer to them as progs and many happily claiming that mantle...

that is moronic; me owning a gun has no impact on kids lives unless some scum bag tries to hurt my child

its like saying me having a car impacts kids lives. we get the fact that the anti gun extremists want to try to end our rights by claiming our rights hurt kids. that is a lie and you know it

All these "honest" people is a chimera..............
 
A person must be armed to be free inside their cranium.
Since a progressive is not armed, he is not free and is against the freedom of others.

Demolition Man reminds me of the laughable fears of gunbies.

There's nothing liberal about modern American liberals. They are just another flavor of authoritarian control-freak.

what motivates your silly hatred of gun owners

are you someone that engages in behavior that might get you shot

are you legally unable to own a gun

this sort of hysterical hate usually has a strong reason for it
 
and there's nothing conservative about modern conservatives
