Congratulations to DSL. I am sure Art Modell is looking down from heaven and smiling...

That would be looking up from Hell.

"That's probably true. Especially if the R's nominate another moderate, charisma-challenged, plutocrat-approved candidate like the last five."

That pretty much describes most republican presidential candidates ever...

"But,evidently, people don't mind their cars being registered, but their guns they do so them da rules."

That's true, but rules can be changed...

Except Goldwater

The gun fail video and the story about all the accidental shootings at gun shows yesterday might not be compelling evidence that we further restrict gun ownership.

However, it does call into question the "wisdom" of the gun strokers that call for an armed civilian populace everywhere. The wisdom that says lives would undoubtedly been saved if only a few people had stood up in that movie theater and started firing back at where they thought the shots were coming from. The wisdom that says it's a good idea to encourage people to allow guns in bars. The wisdom that says that all teachers should carry loaded weapons around with them at all times.

To get a CC permit you have to undergo a certain level of training defined by the state you are getting the permit in. In Ohio its 12 hours (10 hours of instruction and 2 hours of shooting experience). Here is the link if you are gonna get one: http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Ohio ... 62e9d6.pdf

BTW tin the video he guy who shoots himself in the foot in the class room is a Miami cop.

Not sure why I would need an automatic weapon though. Its not gonna take more than two shots to take down Bambis mom. Why would I need 20?

Automatics have been illegal since the '30's. I don't know of any movement to legalize them.

You have to have a class III permit to possess any automatic weapons. This involves a lot of money, time, and significant background checks by ATF/FBI including being fingerprinted etc.

Don't really have a concern or any historical evidence that the govt would/will use car registrations to find the cars and confiscate them.

Not so with firearms. Registration leads to confiscation everywhere it has been implemented.

IMPOSSIBLE.... we have courts here.

You can still sell one in a parking lot though. No questions asked.

[bluetick]

STFU

[bluetick]

Stop Le Run

And there were no wmds and NOBODY but a few neocons ever claimed otherwise.

[Jungle Rat]

I wonder when Wizzie last worked. Probably an old fart collecting a pension. No wonder he's a ref. Its his escape from the wife.

[bluetick]

Fast food minimum wagers spit in his food. A lot.

[Jungle Rat]

So you're saying Wizzie likes to be McRibbed?

[bluetick]

McSpit or McJizz on his McGriddle.

[Jungle Rat]

That makes no sense

[Jungle Rat]

I wonder from which Yacht Mitt is watching this all from?

[Dr. Strangelove]

And look how that turned out...

It resulted in the election of the most liberal Congress in US history and one of history's biggest landslides. I say, let them keep thinking that a more extreme candidate is the only way they can win.
