Summations Only

I think it might be time for that cup of tea we talked about earlier.

Yah, what's up with them un-american liberals? Every time a new technology comes out they're always looking for government mandated ways to use it to save peoples lives! Remember the scourge of seat belts? Societies and governments are not here to protect the people! There oughta be a law.Edited by AZPaul3, : cuz

Do people still really think HAARP is a weather research facility? Oh, that's a good one.

You too, Sweetie. Joy of the season to you.

I heard this on NPR driving home and my first thought ... OK my second ... OK, my third thought was how could the NRA spin these. I think I have it. "The loss of this devoted mother and these poor children is certainly a heavy burden, but True Americans^TM always stand ready to pay the costs of freedom."I thought I was being facetious but then it hit me. You know there are those buffoons out there thinking exactly that. Poe's Law.

Sleep tight, my love.An example of responsible gun ownership.

I can imagine it went something like this:The biggest biker, the one with arms and legs as thick as saplings, sauntered across the street and said,"Look here. You must desist. This is not the Canadian way."The perpetrator looked up, said,"Oh. OK," dropping his tie iron in a trash bin as he walked away.When the Mounties arrived on horseback singing Ride Forever the bikers joined in, in harmony, and passed around Canadian Bay Breezes in those Mason jars, the ones with the handles on them. Then they all sang a few stanzas from The Lumberjack Song as the Mounties rode off into the snow drifts.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

That's right, Hombre. No body reports how many babies didn't kill themselves or somebody else with a loose-about readily available handgun, rifle, bazooka, hand grenade. So the fact that 100 babies died is of no consequence, no concern. Hell, that number could be 1000 dead babies or 10,000 or 100,000 dead babies and it still wouldn't matter cuz we just don't know how many babies aren't dead, yet.The number of dead babies is of no concern as long as you get to be a gun nut.

You may think so but the rest of society does not. They are called Dram Shop laws (for bars and restaurants) and Social Host Liability laws. At a bar or at your neighbor's home, if they let you get drunk and then you go out and kill someone with your car the bar and the neighbor are held as responsible as you are for your actions. Talk about a nonsense comparison.

An initial serving?And this has nothing to do with what ringo was talking about. You missed that really big dot right up front didn't you.Edited by AZPaul3, : splln

[the bold] Which is exactly what ringo was talking about.See, you knew all along what the discussion was about. So why the smokescreen about some "initial drink" crap?

Having had two very dear friends die in separate motorcycle accidents I would agree with this.Except...the majority of all motorcycle deaths are caused by careless car drivers not watching what they're about to run over, so it might be better to outlaw cars instead. Stats hereWhich means, since we see they are not being used safely even with mandated training and licensing, if we outlaw cars a lot of motorcyclists get to live.By the same token, since we see they are not being used safely, if we outlaw guns a lot of babies get to live.

Apparently the loonies fearing an Obama-military takeover of the country have never been commissioned in the officer corps. They do not understand the power of The Oath. The duty was beat into our heads and branded on our hearts constantly. The Oath was not to our superior officers, or to the Commander-In-Chief, or to the Office of the President or to the people, not even to the nation.In command training the Nuremberg defense was a constant topic of discussion and rejection. To act out the bizarre scenario these fanatical fascists fear would require the elimination of a large part of the civilian leadership in the pentagon, more than few of the Joint Chiefs and their staffs along with thousands of generals, admirals, colonels and captains along every chain of command in the military. If the same discussions I had way back then are still held today among the shavetails then I can assure you the corps of lieutenants and ensigns will not be standing idly by while this treason is committed against the Constitution of the United States.And if you think the officer corps would be hard to get over, you have never met a career E-7.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Christians baking cakes.

You got all the pretty stories for your list. Now add in Chicago with 27 of 30 days of fatal shootings just in June. "... the right of those people who are really stupid, or plenty pissed off, or both, to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
