    Have all the anti-gun-rights twits finished starting new threads?

    James Holmes made an apartment filled with pipebombs and bragged about it. It got defused without issue. I stand by my original point. The reason we don't have constant explosions is that people who can do it don't try and people who try get caught by police. Occasionally we have problems (see...

    Law enforcement is a continuous effort. UK has a constant influx of immigrants and people coming and going internationally. UK police got a little complacent.

    Have all the anti-gun-rights twits finished starting new threads?

    I am saying that those who do fear the consequences for their lives if they try to and bad guys that attempt to get stopped by the FBI/ATF/Secret Service/local law enforcement. Lucrum thinks it is scandalous that in SOME parts of UK cops have to be armed while US has cops with guns and...

    That is why we have explosions every day... Trust me the reason we don't is not because in a country of 300 million there is nobody that wants to.

    On top of what? Not the standard of living, average life expectancy, infant mortality rate, etc. US does have the largest economy and spends most on the military but in many meaningful categories US is not near the top.

    Neither Australia nor UK want to go back their pre gun control eras. That tells you everything you need to know. More interestingly, school/mass shootings dont occur there as frequently as here. When people talk about civilized world they usually mean western nations plus selected countries...

    Most of the civilized world has much harsher gun control than USA. You can cut the crap here.

    Let's try a mental experiment: What if I hold a king cobra on a pike not far from you, would you feel uncomfortable? An entity that can kill you in minutes being not far from you will unnerve just about anyone. Now try having an entity that can kill DOZENS in a matter of SECONDS, i.e a...

    Mitt Never Wanted to be President Anyway

    There is elasticity in taxes/fees as well. Mr smartypants do you know how Mitt Romney balanced the budget in Massachusetts? He raised fees like hell. He said he did not raise taxes but the fees take money out of the private economy just as taxes do except fees target different folks and...

    Mitt Never Wanted to be President Anyway

    Pro tip: Bush economy was a fraud based on the real estate bubble. The worth of that economy was decisively proven in 2008 i.e nothing. Stores bring in more revenue depending on the product they sell and the elasticity of the product. You can raise prices and make more money (both revenue AND...

    Mitt Never Wanted to be President Anyway

    You have to be REALLY stupid to believe tax cuts are a magical wealth creation machine. There was no way Romney, Obama, or any human being on the planet could create a robust economy out of what we had in 2008 in 4 years. Not humanely possible.

    Mitt Never Wanted to be President Anyway

    Yep, he did not want to be President even though he constructed his whole life to run for President. He would have been in the public sector a lot earlier if he had beaten Ted Kennedy. You don't spend millions of dollars of your own money, time, go through endless debates and criticism if you...

    How does Lawrence O'Donnell have his own show?

    Olbermann was not pleasant to work with and you need a body in that slot.

    NRA calls for armed police officer in every school

    It is much easier and cheaper to simply not sell guns to certain people than hire thousands of cops. NRA was so full of shit in that press release it was not even funny. They even tried to blame Hollywood and video games. Newsflash: Hollywood shows people only want they want. You can watch...

    How To Stop Mass Killings

    That is a devastating takedown of pspr. But then again, all the ditto heads running here are not blessed with high analytical ability.

    Piers Morgan Blows Up on Larry Pratt Over Gun Rights

    I used to be a regular here around Obama's first election but I have never been anything else. IShopAtPublix traces back to 2006. My political views have been very consistent.

    Time selects Obama as 2012 Person of the Year

    I don't like that photo, it makes Obama look like a mob boss.

    Gun control is about Urban vs Rural areas

    The US Constitution is showing its age. The fiscal cliff nonsense is a vivid illustration of why the presidential system is defective. I personally prefer the Westminster System of Government. The majority party writes the budget and the idiocy we have now would never happen. If you cant get...

    Gun control is about Urban vs Rural areas

    NYC has a balance sheet that makes it possible to hire more cops. NYPD is the largest police department in the country if I remember right. Not every city is as fortunate. The thrust of my argument was that if you implement gun control nationwide the whole country would be safer. NYC while safer...

    Concealed carry I miswrote. Does not matter, concealed carry does not do squat in Florida.
