Really? Then you must have one heck of a rifle as your one and only firearm which you no doubt use to hunt - since living "simply" doesn't jive with picking up ground beef already processed and wrapped at the supermarket.

Or are you a vegetarian?

Kinda like how you need photo ID to function in society, but somehow asking for photo ID at the polls is racist and unfounded

great, lets start taxing the crap out of a person right to free speech, a persons right to vote and a persons right to associate.

Go on right-wingers! Go on and keep buying up them guns to fend off the SCARY SOCIALIST PIGS THAT THE DEMS ARE! I'll be taking your idiocy all the way to the bank! Yeehaw!

In fact that was one of the best moves I made in a long time, not since I bought F at $1.50 a share. I knew Obama would win in 2007. So I bought gun stocks knowing that the fascists ... er, "Republicans" ... would drive up the stock. And I was right.

And even if Romney had won, gun stocks would soar due to his "softer" stance on gun control. LOL! Money in the bank ... money in the bank.

One thing you can count on R's ... they're easy to read, like a book.

calling republicans fascists is like calling democrats communist. if you believe one, then you must also believe the other end of the spectrum.

unlike R's with abortion, D's have learned their lesson regarding gun control and will not touch it.

I dont think it is racist, but it is unfounded.

And if you're attempting to be clever and say that us liberals will be collecting dividends on a bunch of ***** with guns coming after them, HAH! Yeah, right. Keep dreaming. I'll be collecting my real dividends.

And many conservatives think liberals don't own guns ... they'd be sorely mistaken.

I know plenty of democrats that own firearms, I just dont know many liberals that do. there is a difference.
