20 children get shot in the face and guts and millions of whites lay siege to Walmarts across the country like locusts. I already knew this was a fear based society in this country, but the cowardice of the people is boundless!

One has to wonder if these timid rubes really could pull the trigger against whatever phantom boogeymen that haunt their minds?

There we go. That's a good little libtard.

Now lets get someone to blame this on Bush and the cycle will be complete.

I'm starting to wonder just deep in the grip of fear you "good shoots" are in. Lets suppose the perfect chimera army of african communist nazi were actually in your gun sights...could you take the shot? Or would the smell shit fill your bunker?

I think you have watched too many movies with a bad guy taunting somebody that they don't have the guts to shoot. The large amounts of gun violence tell me it isn't hard to do at all.

Also it doesnt help when democrat politicians are lining up to ban scary black rifles, cosmetic features, and limit magazine sizes.

No, the Dems fall into that stupid hole every time and squander any chance for reasonable reform like background checks.

I could take the shot, but only if they were all wearing masks bearing the likeness of your avatar.

Or Diane Feinstien, I could shoot if they were sporting Feinstein masks.

Expanded background checks are supported by a majority. Too bad the democrats muddied the water with wanting to restrict weapons that represent a small % of gun violence. And wanted to ban cosmetic features that have no bearing on the lethalness of the gun.

Exactly. The dear leader and his minions went far beyond just those checks. They paraded sandy hook parents in font of the TV cameras to peddle changes that would have had no impact on the sandy hook case (ie, exploitation for political gain).

The kind of stuff you're setting in CA, NY, IL is proof that all the "they're coming for your guns" nuts were not really nuts, that they were correct all along. That's why everyone is rushing to buy everything now.

This is good news. obama has done a lot to help the gun industry when he tried to do the opposite, It just shows how stupid he is. This is also a big screw you to the gun control advocates.

The cognitive dissonance of the left is incredible. They claim the right are frightened, but it's the left who are constantly adding more and more regulation because they're afraid of anything that isn't tightly controlled by a bureaucrat.

"We need gun regulation! We need medical regulation! We need banking regulation! We need everything regulated because we're scared of everything!"

Its simple really. Some people like to handle things on their own. Others need government to hold their hand and tell them everything will be OK.

Seems to me the lefties are the ones running around scared of everything that isn't in government control. Especially pieces of metal that are capable of making another piece of metal go forth at high speed, those are definitely to be feared and regulated ;)

I'll give you that excessive gun regulation is a fear reaction. Medical regulation isn't due to fear but because of the ever increasing price of and, until recently, inaccessibility of medical treatment. Also are you seriously going to call the left out for medical regulation and ignore the right's constant attempts to force women's medical decisions to be made for them? And if you don't think banking regulation is a good idea I invite you to read heavily about September and October of 2008 and what happens when we let banks get away with anything. Banking regulation isn't about fear, it's about history.

Aren't you afeard of medical bankruptcy?

Aren't you afeard of being told that your girlfriend can't get free birth control and you might have to pay for it yourself?

Aren't you afeard of economic collapse? So much so that you're willing to let the government do something, anything, even if means the position we're in now is just as bad as it was before, if not worse? The wealth divide has grown further, banks are more consolidated than ever, but dammit we've got Hope and Change!

If you were logical, I'd hear what you're saying. But the rank and file Democrats in this country operate on fear every bit as much as Republicans.

"The Tea Party is going to destroy America!!! Vote for the Democrat even though he's just as big a piece of shit as the Republican!!!!"

You're right. Actual support for those checks was much higher than just the percentage of people living in those states.

It was about as close to a unanimous endorsement for any policy as you will ever see.

Yeah, it's just that people didn't given enough of a shit to vote on it. Except for gun owners.

Opinion is meaningless unless people act on it.

And how the government goes about things. Universal background checks? Ehhh....not in favor of it, but its just a 30 second phone call. Not a huge deal. Then the legislation comes out and its 1200 pages, costs $400 million and somehow illegal immigrants can now get free zucchinis on Thursdays.

And if all the Democrats had done was firmed up the background check system, I don't they'd have gotten the resistance they did. But the idiots started talking about magazine size limits and all manner of stupidity and ensured their own failure.

Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, then sets out to prove it.
