We've all heard Fisher's tripe before abou how "it's the person, not the gun". Bulls**t. And the rest of your comment is flat out stupid (faith, smoking dope, gov't agency, the lottery, casinos).
Listening to the President's remarks gives me hope that he has finally seen the light. Just like everything else which has a political bend to it in America, liberals have to take the lead and leave you and your failed conservative ideas in the past.
Yes, I see this as political. Because it is. Which party is in bed with the NRA and fights tooth-and-nail against progressive firearm policies? It's the GOP. Today MUST be a turning point in the national discussion.— wokmaster
If people kill people, not weapons, then what's the point of worrying if Iran builds a nuke? Obviously the answer is to make nukes available to everyone.
well one good thing today is watching wok come unhinged— rysagr- "Amazing coincidence how these massacres are an exclusively modern phenomenon whereas we have been a gun culture throughout our history" . . . . . Actually, we have not been a "gun culture" throughout our history, if what you mean is a senseless infatuation with them, especially if you don't need them for feeding your family or protecting your livestock. And we certainly didn't always have access to the firepower available today.
- Glad you could find "one good thing today", imbecile, because the vast majority of us are heartbroken.
MSL - I'm astounded by the disconnect of conservatives on this thread. How many times have they railed about the debt that their children and grandchildren will inherit someday. "What about our children?", they often say. Yet, today we have an issue which directly impacted - and took - the lives of our children and grandchildren. What do we hear from many of these conservatives? Crickets. It's all about protecting an archaic "right".
Hypocrites.— wokmaster - Ah, they're just dupes who can't think for themselves, nervously awaiting now their wanker talking points. Perhaps the shooter voted for Obama or something. Avidly read Karl Marx or Will Bunch. Anything. It's a pathetic little corner they're painted in, behind their paranoid dislike of humanity.
- I dunno, I read conservatives putting things in proper perspective, expressing horror at the murders, and outrage at the murderer, but also expressing the determination to maintain the strength of their faith and family. I see you Leftists worried about being murdered and clamoring for the federal government to come and protect you. Kinda pathetic, you are. — Mr. Smith
- "I see you Leftists worried about being murdered and clamoring for the federal government to come and protect you. Kinda pathetic, you are."
Coming from the guy who saw Mitt becoming our 45th President, in the face of every credible poll stating otherwise. It's been nice reading your posts again, since you came out of hiding for a few weeks after the election. And as usual, you completely missed my point about one right superceding another. What else is new...— wokmaster - Don't worry Smith, I won't think you're less of a man because you might speak out against nuts able to get guns and kill defenseless kids. I do bet that you're too insecure to do so. Pathetic you.
- Ah, I get it, Smith. You accept these mass murders as part of your God's plan, inevitable, and all you can do is hug your family closer and pray to your invisible God that the next hail of bullets don't hit you and yours. You place faith in your "faith" but not in the power of democracy to affect meaningful change. The basic foundation of our social contract is we the people create a common government to protect our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That you sneer at this concept sounds pathetic, delusional, and utterly defeatist to me. You're a man (or woman) of inaction. An island unto yourself. And a fairly lousy citizen. I hope your deity saves you in times of need, because I--and I imagine tens of millions of your fellow citizens--would be hard pressed to ever want to sacrifice a millisecond of time or a penny of aid for smug, arrogant, and delusional morons who think like you. And yet if tragedy struck you and yours, we probably would be there for a jerk like you, because, in the end, we are good citizens and would gladly exercise our best civic duties, even for repugnant creeps like you who barely deserve even our worst thoughts.
— Mr_Cool - "It is your family and faith which make your strong." . . . Well that's a relief, Fisher. Some folks sadly think it's the latest in high tech weaponry. In my faith, the savior never packed heat.
- wok=unhinged lol— rysagr
- Mentally ill people should not have guns.
Families of mentally ill people should have more recourse in getting their loved ones committed, medicated, or counseled.
All people should be closer to their parents and to their children. If all Americans did that, many of our societal ills would be ameliorated.
And Wok, I don't quite understand your point about you having a right to not be afraid, and that superseding a constitutional right that you want Barack Obama to contravene by making a law that you would like..
Unhinged indeed.— Mr. Smith - Gun worship is a form of mental illness.
