You are not advised to judge all gun owners. You are advised to judge a gun as a weapon,created for the sole purpose of ending the life of a living creature.
Like abortion? Except the main reason fora gun is self protection.

Conservatives are fiscally conservative. Republicans are not.
1) We are advised to not judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun-owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
2) Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare running out of money? What's interesting is the first group worked for their money, but the second didn't.
Funny how that works.
1) I am a gun owner, so maybe not the best liberal to ask about that.
2) Social Security is welfare. And no, it's not as simple as the people worked for their money. Boomers are really the first generation that did that/will do that. Previous generations spent a lot of years paying for a much less comprehensive (and much cheaper) program than they're currently benefiting from. For example, when my grandma entered the workforce the total FICA tax rate was 2% rather than the 15.3/16.2% rate it is today. Even ignoring the fact that benefits will need to be cut by 23% before I retire, people in my grandma's generation got better benefits than Boomers or my generation would even ignoring the 23% cut while paying much lower taxes for the greater benefits. Even among Boomers who are the first generation who spent the majority of their working life paying in, it's not that simple as the benefits aren't straight line based on income.
Someone making $10,000/yr gets $506/mo in benefits.
Someone making $100,000/yr does not get $5,060 in benefits.
The person who paid taxes on $100,000/yr gets less than they paid for so that the person who made $10,000/yr can get much more in benefits than they paid for. Collectively, the program is supposed to be paid for by payroll taxes but it's regressive as is. When the 23% cuts/taxes increases get made, they won't really touch the welfare benefits for those that paid in on $10,000/yr incomes. The cuts will come from the other end.
#1 is flawed because I don't accept the premise that the 'Islamic' terrorists are indeed Muslims.
Sure they talk the talk but do they walk the walk?
Didn't the 9/11 hijackers debauch themselves in bars and strip clubs? A jihadist who can't overcome his own sin is a fraud and perhaps they protest too much through their extreme actions.

1. Sole purpose of a firearm is to propel a projectile at high velocities.
2. Liberals like people on the dole as it makes them subservient to them.
Thanks for posting this again. This time I got to bookmark before the eventual deletion of this thread because the truth is deemed offensive here...it seems.
Well except for the part where she is a christian, not a Muslim. And a extremely rabid Christian at that.
She used to be a muslim.
Also of note, re-posting a deleted thread can result in mod action. I'm not going to report it as I dont see why it was deleted, but you should keep that in mind.

I chose a poor title. It was a red flag. But the video is more about Jihad and what it means, and Sharia Law.

She was raised a Muslim. I must have missed the part where she said she was a Christian, and a "rabid Christian at that." What is a "rabid Christian?"
