Anti-gunners should continue going after the banks---they're so fearful of bad publicity. Much easier to defeat the feckle banks than it is to repeal the Second Amendment.

SMH....I have no words...

Every big bank here in SD does.

Most manufacturers that make "military style" firearms are multinational corporations with their main business being the production of real military firearms for the global arms trade. US civilian sales are a drop in the bucket.

You're not the only one who confuses libertarians for republicans...
Where they differ from Republicans, they may not agree with you, but they'll defend your right to express the opinion you hold.

I know. It sounds confusing...
They can be hated by both the left, and the right... most times, they are...

Liberals and Conservatives use them in a game of tug of war all of the time.
A libertarian has it rough.
They can be called far left by the right, and far right by the left...

The problem isn't with them, or their beliefs.
They've got it mostly right.

Individual liberty above all else.
Government intervention kept at a minimal.
Private property rights above all else.
The individual supercedes the collective.
Non aggression principals but don't you dare try to break and enter into their home or carjack them or assault them.
They're firm in self defense.
They aren't victims.

Thats where they're very similar to Republicans/Conservatives.
Where they are similar to your side of the political spectrum

Don't like abortion? DON'T GET ONE! Don't tell someone else they can't do it.
Don't like what someone is saying? They have a right to say it. DON'T LISTEN OR WATCH!
Basically they don't believe others, especially the government have a say in your private life, what you do with your time, your money, your property. So long as you aren't on the offensive and aggressive/oppressive.

I agree with this 1000%


Pretty much sums me up to a tee. I don't care what a person does as long as they are not trying to come after me or my family. Paint yourself blue, howl at the moon, recite religious scripture, I don't care. The moment you want to harm me or my family, that is when I fight back.




And most likely 1 more to add to that same list from NY_refugee87; I want the laws upheld the same for everyone. I hate preferred treatment; because someone is famous or rich or both.

Lol, yet have no issue with handguns, which cause the most deaths by firearms?

Yet more of the "it looks scary" logic, lol.

When are you going after cars and truck which kill LOTS more then guns being "stopping killings" is your main objective?
