Liberals just can't get over the fact that they are not the sole purveyors of news any longer.
Based on the evidence presented in this thread, it kind of looks like we still are.
By the way, have you checked to see how many of the liberal news outlets George Soros is financing?
Oooo, George Soros!
Aren't you a little old for boogeymen, Coyote?

The people who want to ban "Assault Rifles" don't know the first thing about guns or what makes one more dangerous to another.
Don't you think just by calling it an "assault rifle" you've ceded the argument that we're talking about a firearm designed to kill a bunch of people all at once? And given that's the purpose, what's the argument that private ownership of mass murder weapons should be legitimate?
I think the best arguments against "assault rifle" bans come in that, as a legal term, it's a bit of a cypher, and trying to ban it by description ropes in legitimate hunting weapons and excludes similar dangerous guns (machine pistols, etc.) But just saying "I love my AK, you can't have it" isn't a reasonable position in a nation with a truly stupefying level of gun crime.

Part of the point is that a .22 rifle with a folding stock, front grip, and banana mag would be called an "Assault Rifle" even though it wasn't designed to kill a bunch of people all at once.
Why don't you think it was designed to kill a bunch of people all at once?
Out of curiosity, does that level of gun crime include the breaking of inane laws that shouldn't be there in the first place? Or is it limited to just "violence"? Or what?
Limit it how you please; there will still be an enormous amount of it.

You really don't think conservative republican type people would be heading up atv ban stuff?
Sure, why not? They would have demagogued against those goddamn atheist-Satanic kids and their rock music and drugs, like always.
I'm just not seeing the vast groundswell of support for ATV's among Tea Party types.

Re: people like
For clarity, my way is to at least have a section of forest where people can ride, not the whole forest.
I've never been to a national or state park that didn't have that, already. It's pretty wide-spread especially in the north, where people want wilderness areas to take snowmobiles. Obviously it's part of the same allowance made for powerboats vs. canoes, etc.
So what exactly are you on about?
Here, just in your state:

Is it really hard for you to find the ATV trails, or something?

Jesus, we get it, Theodoric. You want to see some evidence. So do we, but there's no need for four posts in a row about it.

Re: que sera sera
If the thread is about Obama, or criticizing the left the thread is closed within the 1st 15-30 pages, they don't last that long.
Has that even once happened?

Re: All networks biased
For example, their reporter Susan Roethsgen used a fake Tea Party plant to make the movement look bad.
Yeah...
That didn't happen. That's a conservative lie - which is the source, in fact, of most of the claims of "media bias."
Here's the reality of media bias:
The media - even, and especially, the "liberal" mainstream media - privileges conservatives. It's the result of being cowed by two decades of manufactured outrage about nonexistent bias.
