Lolz what does this prove besides people are dumb and reactionary? Except that some far right folks are ready and eager to get to change the subject and try and score points.

The gun pushers are getting antsy.

Actually they're not. Gun sales have never been higher. Makes the other side nuts as witnessed by their comments. They're both (sides that is) UNBALANCED.

Translation: 3 days after this tragedy, you expect me to have a balanced view about violence? Not going to happen. I'm not going to dilute my disgust with civility.

The knee jerk reactionaries are out in force. When their stance is "use violence to stop violence" they look like fools.

Assuming there is any thruth to this story, how does anyone know who makes these calls or their motivations? Do whack jobs who make death threats identify their political leanings when doing so?

How about the calls into the Newtown church where services were held? Were such threats to finish the job made by conservatives?

Why would anyone paint death threats with a broad political brush?

Honestly...if you want to do something effective to curb gun violence...ban gun sales to registered Democrats. They are not rational enough to be trusted with something where they could hurt themselves or others.

I'm an NRA life member. I'm easy to find since my license plate looks like the one below. If you see me out, feel free to say "hi".

Tweets by anonymous tweeters is not something that is going to elicit a strong emotional response from me. Not defending it, just saying it's not something that is going to move me.

Fee free to hold a candlelight vigil for the NRA, let me know how many people show up.

Are you saying they are closet gun owners?


Hippies of the sixties and seventies, have become the dysfunctional parents, teachers and politicians of today. They feared everything then, and fear everything now. They hate guns because they kill, yet defend murderers on death row. They are outraged that 20 children were murdered, while defending the 50M murders of unborn babies.

If Hypocrisy was a course, they would all have a 4.0 GPA

These are the people who want to stop gun violence; even if they have to kill every gun owner to do it!

DUH to infinity
