Well gee, those people thank you. And upon what do you base that?

But, it's OK for you to think ground meat with brown gravy on spaghetti like pasta is "CHILI"?

If the only defense you have for their action is that "it's not actually against any laws", then you're tacitly admitting that it's morally indefensible. Which it is.

People with a firearms fetish aren't rational. If you think a rifle does more for your safety than solid access to healthcare, then you have a child's understanding of risk.

What? LMAO...people support the constitution and “restrictions contained within it?”

Make that make sense dude. Because it sounds extremely silly.

The restrictions that chain government, not me
Silly as it may be.

I'm not sure anything illegal was done.

But good thing the Kentucky governor is Caucasian, otherwise who knows some might have screamed 'hate crime.'

With that being said just because it isn't illegal and is protected by the Constitution doesn't mean that you should still do it.

It isn't illegal for me to have relations with my best friend's ex-wife but it still is definitely something that I should not do.

Are you going to argue that people who hang someone in effigy in front of his house, home to his wife and kids, aren't nuts?

The facebook post options don't seem to be working apparently.

It should be clear to everyone (regardless of where you stand on the topic) that the key point is to clarify is if:

• A) gun 'nuts' are a relatively subset of gun 'owners'
  OR
• B) 'gun nuts' == 'gun owners' (i.e. close to identical sets)

Obviously if multiple people engaged in conversation don't have the same definition, then they'll just be speaking around each other.

They're certainly uncouth, I would say.



Then again, there's a famous freshman congresswoman from NY serving in office right now who believes the planet will die in a combination of fire & flood within a decade if the citizenry doesn't surrender its critical faculties and submit to the creation of an authoritarian leftist regime to whom there can be no appeal.
