I have some good friends with multiple weapons and while I don't think they are nuts I am concerned after all they are Republicans.

and it shouldnt. the last thing anyone would want is for you to be making any laws. however, you are especially unqualified in making laws regarding guns since you havent even bothered learning the basic facts about guns. i think you should focus your energy on getting those cop killer bullets banned; that seems to be very important to you.

if someone wants an arsenal, then they should be free to spend their money and get an arsenal. oh, how many guns would you consider an arsenal?

In that light, it could be argued that the Federal government has a duty to take action.
im not really sure what exactly is proposed and fought against. people make out the republicans as unwilling to compromise on anything, but i dont really know thats true. but i also think that guns arent thought of the same way as toxic waste. there are so many people throughout the country that think positively about guns and think the best way to stop that violence, isnt registration but more carry permits. so i guess its tough for people to agree when they have such different views on the subject.

I think you've overplayed this hand with EBwick. Your lack of expertise in hurricanes, flooding, structural engineering, etc., did not slow you in your (misguided) Sandy opinions.

I'm responsible for my actions, not my objects. Though the post you responded to had nothing to do with that.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who doesn't post with their full real name on a message board has something to hide, and should be denied the right to speak.

Your name is Nybbler?

So you're concerned about people who love freedom and uphold the Bill of Rights. You sound like a Redcoat.

They love freedom for rich white males, and fetuses. Since I'm a woman, I'm automatically out of the freedom picture. Once those fetuses are born, unless they are born to rich white males, they're pretty much out of luck when it comes to freedom too. Oh, and also minorities, because we can't have no colored folks owning guns.(sarcasm).

I'm kind of thinking that recognizing sarcasm is not your expertise.
