    To the first pic I completely agree.

    Yes the 2nd pic also. He ran unopposed and the GOP does not support him and are intending to fund anyone but him. Is there "I hate the Republican" message you are hoping to send in this choice?

    Because when push comes to shove two things will happen

    1. funding will be cut for mental health services
    2. there will be no restrictions on owning a gun despite what mental evaluations show because you don't want a slippery slope where big government now has ANY reason to decide you can not have a gun. Kind of like now in theory you can be denied a gun but unless you are a total idiot when buying the gun you can have it.

    My opinion is that many gun owners know this and feel they are tricking native people by having this goal post that can always be moved. You are not really interested in any change. You want things to remain as they are. You accept that people will die sometimes but it's OK you know how to use the gun and your right is more important.

    Sure there were, but a gun-hating fanatic said that bringing up such statistics meant that the one bringing them up didn't give a shit about kids being murdered. And who wants to deal with that kind of mentality?

    Balbus, the "gun lobby" keeps repeating the same "crap" because its worth repeating.

    But you cant take your mind off our guns for one second.

    Human trash is people who have killed innocent people - Such as bombers and school shooters and other murderers.

    Human trash is people who harm and exploit children - Such as pedophiles.

    Human trash is people who kidnap and enslave other humans - Such as human traffickers.

    Etc.



    People who express their thoughts and opinions are not human trash.

    LOL – so post a detailed opinion on the subject being addressed, so we can all see if it is valid or not.

    Oh an please don't bring up anything that has already been covered and has outstanding criticisms, some right wingers have complained about things going circular. You know when they bring up stuff that already been covered.

    Fact remains that ladders kill more people than AR15s

    But it also has merit that the gun grabbers refuse to see.

    The subject being addressed was human trash.

    I believe human trash exists.






    Who started the conversation on human trash? Who else participated in that discussion before me?

    You'd have to go back and ask them the origin of that thought.

    Machinist....please. I have already gotten one thread closed before I could get to the point. I'm pretty sure we have heard you loud and clear. On multiple threads. They asked me about things not related to gun control. I'd like to let that take its course.

    Still awaiting a response on my human trash link given as an example. I am trying to keep the exchange focused like I was in the Chicago thread that got closed down. I asked Balbus a direct question. You're going to let him go off track.....AGAIN.

    We are approaching 2000 posts and you think we arw about to get to the point?

    This thread doesnt belong to you solely.

    Why dont you ask Balbus to stop replying to me too if thats your problem.

    LOL

    Ok - I think you need to take a bit of time so you can read the thread and the other one that got closed and then maybe you can give a contribution to the debate that it a bit more informed and has a bit more substance.

    I’ll give you time

    No thanks. My life is quite full without spending in ordinate amounts of time on such threads.

    I don't feel the need for verbal diarrhea and vomiting in attempt to dominate a conversation.

    You repeating that guns aren't the problem is wishful thinking. Yes, its likely other things have to do with people planning mass shootings too (too many people on meds, yes), but its undeniably clear guns and how they're delt with in your society is part of it.
    It's ridicilous to deny that.
