    On Gun Control and Socialism . . .

    Zaac -- please explain the Revolutionary War from the viewpoint you give here. Are you saying that Americans, at that time, didn't repent enough, and/or weren't obedient enough, and/or didn't preach enough? Should they have not spoken out against the British government, or encouraged others to...

    Food For Thought

    Robert -- if you actually have counterpoints to the post, then make them. Lately, you've posted nothing but personal attacks. What gives?

    Gun Control

    I disagree. Hypothetically speaking, my goal is to kill as many people as I can. I don't choose a police station; why not? Talk about making the news: "Attacked a police station." I think about a mall; but I also think about how many security guards carry guns. I consider a movie theater; I...

    Asinine as can be.

    Actually, Aaron, I think most liberals are simply emotionally-based. I can't speak for liberal politicians; but most liberal-minded people seem to respond to the logical fallacy of "appeal to emotion". They seem to believe in--or at least hope for--man's inherent goodness.

    Stopping the spread of deadly assault weapons

    Had to look those up myself. The "characteristic" thing means that a semi-automatic weapon accepts a detachable magazine and two or more "cosmetic" alterations, such as a pistol grip, flash suppressor, or a bayonet mount (there's a list). The "bullet button" was a device that attaches to an...

    If I'm understanding your problem correctly--you can log onto the router, but you haven't figured out how to set up wireless security. If that's correct, try this: www.fixya.com/support/t4518162-router_not_secured_when_tried_make If my summary isn't correct, then I need a step-by-step of...

    Guns Rights Zealots--Shoot Down this Idea

    Jack, for your bar analogy to work, then the bartender would also be liable for whenever a woman gets drunk, loses her inhibitions, and as a result, gets pregnant. I mean, let's face it: if the bartender hadn't sold her just one more drink, she might not have ended up saying yes. So technically...

    Guns Rights Zealots--Shoot Down this Idea

    Jack--just went through this with InTheLight. What you're saying is, a gun dealer does his/her part; they run the background check, they enforce the waiting period in those states that require it, they do all the paperwork--and the person they just sold the gun to, after following all the legal...

    Guns Rights Zealots--Shoot Down this Idea

    I'm all for mandatory gun education courses for everyone, whether you own or plan to own, or plan to never own a gun of any type. No registration required; just make it a one- or two-day required course in all schools, workplaces, etc. But no, Blackbird, I don't see what you're saying...

    Are you putting forth that those laws are okay, even though you admit they're not fair?

    Guns Rights Zealots--Shoot Down this Idea

    But--I left them secured in my house. The doors were locked, the windows barred. Am I still culpable if someone breaks into my house, searches through the closets, and finds where I hid the weapons?

    The Myth of Technological Progress

    Wow. The author of that article missed the point entirely. One only has to look at why there was technological progress in the time frames mentioned. For example, the author identified 1909-1959 as a 50-year period that showed much technological advancements. And what were the major societal...

    Guns Rights Zealots--Shoot Down this Idea

    ITL - here's where I have a problem with your opening post: impose harsher penalties on those whose guns are used.... NO. Please re-think that. I don't want someone stealing my car because I left it running; using to rob a convenience store and/or maybe even murder someone (not with the car...

    We need to have a national conversation about a ban on hammers.

    Ronald Reagen was shot with a revolver. John Lennon and Harvey Milk were each killed with a revolver. JFK was assassinated with a bolt-action rifle. The sidearm of the American military--those not lucky enough to be issued a Colt 1911 .45--was the .38 revolver. Banning semi-auto weapons won't...

    Gun violence since last Friday

    How do any of those articles equate to "pro death"? Supporting the right to keep and bear arms is "pro death"?

    We need to have a national conversation about a ban on hammers.

    That's funny, because of how strict gun control in Illinois already is. For example, if you possess a gun, you are required to possess an Illinois Firearms Owner ID (FOID). If you wish to purchase firearms or ammunition in Illinois, you must present your FOID; no FOID, no purchase. If police...

    Gun Control

    As Mr. Cassidy just pointed out: Those that are for banning "assault weapons," please be specific and identify those weapons. Because if you don't, anything can be defined--or re-defined--as an "assault weapon." So don't just tell us you support banning assault weapons, or military-type...

    shooting

    Please allow me to make a personal observation: I take a slightly different viewpoint about the Second Amendment. Owning a gun is not like driving; we all agree about the difference between a right and a privilege. But if you look at the wording of the Second Amendment, and think about the...
