So then I guess the FBI and DOJ must be heavily biased in favor of gun rights as well?

Once again, when there is no logical defense to be made yall head straight for the emotional appeal. I'm stupid, but you have absolutely no data to back up your argument. Right. Sound perfectly reasonable.

You're jumping the gun here (pun intended! badum-tshh!)

Just because there's a higher violent crime rate doesn't mean it correlates to gun ownership. The only crime you can positively and distinctly tie together with gun ownership and the availability of guns (not hard to get a gun in Mexico even though they're outlawed) is crime involving guns.

Unless I'm mistaken, you're essentially stating that the more guns you have in a given society the less violent crimes there are. That's a retarded-ass statement. There's a much higher inverse correlation between education and economic prosperity and crime of any sort. Giving stupid poor people guns doesn't decrease crime but giving smart rich people guns might. Thus, you can argue all you want about guns and violent crime but unless you address the poor and stupid issue first you're not getting anywhere. Guns or no guns, crime is always higher with the poor and stupid.

Not conservative...Fred Flintstone was a union member...

(remember, he worked as an "equipment operator" in a rock quarry)

Unions suck democrat or republican cock as it best suits them. And unions by themselves arent necessarily a liberal or conservative ideal.

"Fact: Washington D.C. has essentially banned gun ownership since 1976 and has a murder rate of 56.9 per 100,000. Across the river in Arlington, Virginia, gun ownership is less restricted. There, the murder rate is just 1.6 per 100,000, less than three percent of the Washington, D.C. rate."

Yes, because the only differences between DC and Arlington are in their gun laws. Wow, what an insane comparison.

Hey, let me try: In South Korea, electric fans have timers on them, and in North Korea they don't. However, South Korea's per-capita energy consumption is much higher than North Korea. Therefore, putting timers on fans leads to an increase in energy consumption!

Mitt Romney, accepting the nomination for president of the United States, addressed the crowd that had gathered in Tampa, Fla., for this occasion, and he made a little joke in his speech.

“President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans,” Romney said, and paused for effect.

The crowd laughed.

“And to heal the planet,” Romney continued.

The crowd laughed again.

“My promise is to help you and your family,” he finished, to a roaring standing ovation from the audience.

In other words, “healing the planet” has little to do with helping American families.

LOL

That Romney! Always such a practical jokester. :thumbsup: You can't make comedy gold like that up. It also strikes to an important point; having water come out of your faucet not so contaminated that you can't set it on fire is little consolation when corporations desperate to pump money into your economy have liberal laws tying their hands from fracking and shit. If not for Liberals trying to regulate everything businesses do, America could be as much of a job paradise as China where the government knows not to let the people push around well meaning business when it comes time to get rid of their waste.

And what is with all the lies about global warming? The whole idea of things getting hotter has just been propaganda from farmers trying to overcharge Walmart for their food. The lengths to wish they try to make their crops look bone dry to sell their speal is just ridiculous.

Damn it, Jim! Don't be so hard on Mittens, he was the best the 'Pubs could do, as this fond look back at the Repub primary clearly shows:
