It’s reasonable to beat the crap out of a leftist who is trying to take away your reputation gut to defend yourself in any method you choose.

OK, well, there is a difference between baiting libs for chits and giggles and seriously discussing a subject.

DEMOCRAT REGISTRATION SAFETY BILL

Saul Alinsky - Make your opponent live by his rules.

- Democrats want gun control.
- Republicans not Democrats have been shot & attacked, overwhelmingly 500 here, a dozen there.

Who could be against a predominant assault group registering their weapons??
Both sides have concensus, in the interest of fairness, Democrats should all register declaring whether they keep a gun or not.
It is only temporary. Democrats want to disarm you, register them.

The “codependent mindset” which exists alongside the drug, alcohol, sexual, financial drunkenness that is widespread naturally looks to controlling people.

Its doesn’t see the “insanity factor” or the “spiritual condition” underlying those who choose to kill large numbers of people.

Our Constitution envisioned the carrying of firearms as a natural thing not encumbered by any rules, regulations or permits like we have today.

The Republicans and their political machine with the NRA have a lot of grassroots sheeple locked into notions like “concealed carry” or every “open carry” with permits.

Its not want the Founders envisioned.

No reasonable middle ground. None.

We have given up too much and as we predicted every time, more laws do NOTHING. NOTHING.

Nothing except turn regular citizens into targets.

The NRA fronts for the GOP Establishment and they were out front for Luther Strange over Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate runoff.

Ads were run down there claiming Moore was “soft on guns”.

Judge Moore produced a pistol during a campaign rally to refute the smear.

Commie Speak:

They always advance to the extreme left while calling it middle ground.

They always speak of reasonable regulation as though they have nor already gotten an unreasonable amount of legislation passed.

It will probably get to the loint where the NRA needs to have a background check for membership... to prevent a nutcase from becoming a member and living out his nutcase nirvana...

When you start saying I am protected by the NRA, there is nothing reasonable in the conversation since the NRA is an extension of my speech while the other groups are often Stare subsidized in violation of church state separation

On Monday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Today,” Tom Brokaw argued that it’s impossible to have a conversation on what kind of firearms can be purchased because it becomes emotionally-charged between gun owners “who are protected by the NRA, and other people who are saying, ‘There ought to be a more reasonable middle ground.'”

Our restrictive gun laws are already way beyond any reasonable middle ground. But if they want a conversation, here's my ideas: (1) Repeal all restrictions on silencers/suppressors. (2) Repeal all restrictions on magazine size. (3) Repeal all restrictions on cosmetic features (such as bayonet lugs, threaded barrels, grenade launchers, stock/grip shapes). (4) Repeal all restrictions on concealed carry. (5) Repeal all state and local restrictions on firearms. (6) Repeal all restrictions on barrel length.

Nope. I didn't think the totalitarian thugs on the left were interested in a real conversation. All they want is to leverage these deaths into even one more incremental restriction on our God-given and constitutionally-protected individual right to keep and bear arms. No, thank you.

Ummmmm - we are protected by the Constitution - facts mean nothing to these people --- or the NFL....;-) they're all going down because they are too stupid to understand that the more they dig in, the more folks run from them....

Brokaw stated there should be a national conversation on the amount of mass shootings in the US.

Yea! Let's talk about illegal guns pouring across our southern border, Let's talk about MS-13 murdering innocent people, let's talk about Barrack Obama releasing thousands of felons and a traitor onto an innocent public Let's talk about Bill Clinton praying on innocent interns and raping one of his own supporters.....yea...let's talk.

Not that I want to get hit with either, but if I had to take a shot, I’d rather get hit by the black barbie gun below rather than the 30.06 above.

I love that “reasonable middle ground” argument.

A good comparison to it is to cite the slavery issue before the US Civil War. That is, what if the Union abolitionists had been willing to meet the southern slave holders request for a “reasonable middle ground”, just freeing *half* the slaves? Why, the US could have avoided the Civil War!

Just being “reasonable” with civil rights and all.

Leftist, anti-constitutional media mouths are the real threat, to all Americans.

They are enemies within, truly, and must be dealt with as such. Soon.

Someone committed a crime, so lets disarm the law abiding.
That is pretty much sums up the Democrat stance on gun control.
