Both of which will be ignored by the one they are directed towards, because they do not fit in with his assumptions.

Isn't that the typical liberal response?

I've been hunting all my life, had  guns as long as I can remember. Never has anyone tried to take my guns away or even implied it.   I  think the states you mentioned should let the states majority decide on how it's gun control laws are implemented

  I personally don't see a problem with background checks, or tighter gun control laws.   The US is the leader in gun related crimes and deaths for a reason.   Is it wrong that we should be responsible for ourselves and our  kids.

   The problem you guys have is you see everything in the extreme.  There is a good balance between too little and too much that is just right.

Tell that to the citizens in D. C. that are suing to have the right to keep handguns in thier home for defense. I think they would tell you what they think about tighter gun laws.

Yes, President Bush should get the blame for the New Orleans disaster!




He is the one who sent the Hurricane there after all.

Have you compared those numbers with vehicular deaths or cancer deaths or heart disease?

Obviously we should have tighter control on vehicles, cancer and hearts.

I'm sure it depends on who you ask there.   They have every right to sue and if they find it unconstitutional then it should be overturned.  It is power to the people right.

hahahaha :rofl

You need to read a bit further down the thread and see office of the presidency, not the man Bush, was the point of the opening comments.

No.  The problem here is that liberals hate that we know history and that we pay attention.  Every single smaller gun restriction in other countries has led to full out gun bans not too long after.

My biggest memory from Katrina, and one that will allways represent that disaster in my mind, is an interview at the dome of a fat woman who was complaining about the lack of food.  She had an MRE in her hand and threw in on the ground screaming "this cheese aint even warm".

I will never forget that having eating many MANY MREs.

So, since Tigress failed to mention anyone else that falls within the liability she excludes them from it? Or it somehow excludes President Bush for her having made such an omission?

Explain how the U.S., which has had gun restrictions of one kind or another since long before you were born, has avoided it? How's your 101 history coming along?

MREs beat C-rats by a mile. Some people are just stupid. No matter.

She must not have been very hungry. I've eaten many MREs too and liked most of 'em.
