These are the same idiots who claim that if only the Jews in Nazi germany (less than 2% of the German population) had hand guns Hitler would have been stopped in his tracks.

It is not about that at all, too bad you do not get it. It is about people's rights.

I don't think Weight Watchers, could help that big fat head of his.

Get rid of every gosh dang criminal, murderer, rapist, burglar, thug, gang member, can't guarantee this, then people have a right to protect their home and family, don't like it, you can use your finger, if someone breaks into your home.

Criminals and ass hol- thugs and gang members, will always have access to guns, and most people with any brains in the head, already know this.

No, I guess we're just the idiots who think they would have at least had the opportunity to fight with dignity, instead of being helplessly exterminated by their fascist government.

Thanks for walking into that one, genius.

So what is the difference between a "Keyboard Commando" and a "Keyboard Passive-Aggressive" exactly?

He's right, this nation is full of paranoid fools, and many of them have guns and these paranoid fools are best to put their guns away before they hurt themselves or someone else.
Same with the 2nd amendment. Don't like it, too bad.

Btw, what evidence do you or Moore have that shows that a single gun owner is paranoid? As this is a clinical diagnosis I would think that this would require psychoanalysis by a trained professional. Are you or Moore psychiatrists?

Actually, I would argue somewhat of the opposite with Michael Moore. There are some unresolved race issues. However, those issues are part of the roots for strict gun control. If you look back to some very old gun restriction laws, Blacks were targeted, and particularly slaves. Yes, alot of Americans buy guns. However, if you want to look at unresolved racial issues, look at some of the roots of gun control laws. There were laws set up so that White Americans could have guns, but Black Americans could be restricted from having guns. The idea was to control Black people. In the slave days, the master could do what he wanted to his slaves. The idea of "gun control" was really "keep Blacks in line by denying them the right to self-defense". After the Civil War, certain states tried gun control laws against Blacks. Mississippi, what we think of as a conservative state, this laws was enacted in 1865:

"Section 1. Be it enacted that no freedman, free negro or mulatto, not in the military service of the United States government, and not licensed so to do by the board of police of his or her county, shall keep or carry firearms of any kind, or any ammunition, dirk or bowie-knife, and upon conviction thereof in the county court shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten dollars, and pay the costs of such proceedings, and all such arms and ammunition shall be forfeited to the informer; and it shall be the duty of every civil and military officer to arrest any freedman, negro or mulatto found with any such arms or ammunition, and cause him or her to be committed to trial in default of bail."

It wasn't limited to guns, but to anything that could be a weapon. The idea was to prevent Blacks from defending themselves as a means of controlling the Black population. Of course, when Reconstruction came to Mississippi, Blacks could have guns. However, when Reconstruction ended, more terrorism against Blacks. During the Jim Crow days in the South, certain southern states were enacting laws regarding gun permits. A Florida judge during the Jim Crow era admitted that the laws were meant to disarm Black laborers and weren't meant to disarm Whites. The state of Georgia enacted a law making it illegal to possess a firearm in a church. Why? The KKK was into burning Black churches, and by disarming churchgoers, Black churchgoers couldn't defend themselves against any attacks from the KKK. In Minnesota, however, a state that is considered quite liberal, it was never illegal to possess a gun in church. You can still carry a gun in church today in Minnesota. In Georgia, however, there is still a statute against possessing a firearm in church.

tell you what, when the poor can afford private security you can say that until then MM is a fat fool talking out the side of his mouth.

ban, register, confiscate, all are ideas of the rich, elitists pigs, socialists, communists, facist, liberals, democrats and even some republicans, except when it involves them giving up their firearms.

do as i say not as i do.
