This argument has got to stop. Its does little. All it does is let people who are anti abortion yell it and try to insert it into every argument. The Supreme court has settled the issue, you can make law as to when it can be done but if you keep beating that drum nothing will be done but to marginalize your and our arguments.

This is just one of thousands of left wing attacks on "white supremacist groups going strong.' it was not a one of, loan wolf it was LOOK LOOK the crazy white people are at it again. You do not see this in this attack. Its this is a one of, nothing to do with Islam. Keep walking nothing to see here.
I told you the reaction after the Sihk temple attack was nothing like what you decribe. Why is that?

Sounds like you are a supporter of white supremacist groups. They are as bad and cowardly as any other hate group, including the radical islamists (yes, they are a hate group too). I don't see why you would want to defend either group.

No it doesnt. The Supreme Court settled the issue until laws change. The gun argument clearly demonstrates that laws can be changed.

If you dont understand how our legal system works, dont run around embarassing yourself by telling others their argument is marginalized.

I suppose we can always follow the Obamacare strategy and put a "tax" on abortions, charing $1,000,000 tax, to have one..

Oh come one. You know better than that.
It brings up a whole 'nother argument about what constitutes life and is therefore not even close to a good anaolgy at all.

But it only takes one person buying lots of guns.

I'd say that the background checks work most of the time. I think we should document every worker in this country, I think we should have a background check for each of them, and background checks for every gun sale.

They do work, most of the time. An old saying comes to mind. Don't let the perfect get in the way of the good. You can spend your life looking for a perfect apple and starve, or eat a few with a blemish, and have a full belly
Good post.....good information.....good advice.

No, three million Muslims in our country. 300 million Americans roughly

The left uses the same argument against guns, but not against immigrants. If a gun ban will save just one life, if a magazine ban will save just one life, then ban them. Well if by banning immigration it saves one life then why not stop it?
You could say that, but it would be a stupid thing to say.
