PELOSI: 'We Want Registration'; HOLDER: 2nd Amendment won't stand in the way'

[Sailor Steve]

There was a thing about this on '60 Minutes' last night. While they interviewed a gun-rights guy my ultra-liberal roommate called him some rude names. I asked him why. He immediately shut up. He likes to voice his opinion, but as soon as I try to talk to him he loses all arguing power. What am I doing wrong? How can I get him to actually debate me on this?

Pull a gun on him?

When cars get registered, why not guns. Debates like this remind me of somebody taking literal the great feeling of wide freedom and wild adventure that comes from using a certain aftershave that seems to promise for some to activate the hunter's genes in male mankind, not to mention greater success with the ladies. "Takes more than combat gear to make a man, takes more than a rifle or a gun, confront your enemies, avoid them if you can, a gentleman will walk but never run..."

I have a whole set of wenches... And swockets too.

Can we trade roommates? Mine won't debate either but I can't get her to shut up long enough to present an argument. Evidently, I am a "machine" because I served in the armed forces, so my opinions don't matter.
For those of you who recall it, she is also the one who caused me to post that bizarre music video a couple of weeks ago for a commercial survey on the premise that it was "fun". The opinions and arguments of people on this board don't matter to her either because we are all militaristic, or "war-lovers" as she puts it.
What a brilliant argument! We all play submarine simulations and other wargames because we love killing people! Why didn't I see it before?

Any side of any issue suffers from these kinds of people. Unfortunately, they tend to be very numerous and very vocal. The worst kind of idiot is one who knows that they are right, no matter what.

Yes! We are all blood thirsty bastards....I just sank a Kongo battleship in Sh4 and now will go and kill some people in Africa in Far Cry2. At least my blood pressure is normal now...

Have to agree with you man. She was a bored housewife in California, so one day she decided she wanted to be in Congress - not kidding.

Pelosi was born in Baltimore, Maryland. The youngest of six children, she was involved with politics from an early age. Her father, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., was a U.S. Congressman from Maryland and a Mayor of Baltimore. Her brother, Thomas D'Alesandro III, also a Democrat, was mayor of Baltimore from 1967 to 1971, when he declined to run for a second term. Pelosi graduated from Institute of Notre Dame, a Catholic all-girls high school in Baltimore, and from Trinity College (now Trinity Washington University) in Washington, D.C. in 1962. Pelosi interned for Senator Daniel Brewster (D-Maryland) alongside future House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.[1] She met Paul Frank Pelosi (b. April 15, 1940 in San Francisco, California)[2] while she was attending Trinity College.[3] They married in a Catholic church on September 7, 1963. After the couple married they moved to New York, and then to San Francisco in 1969, where his brother, Ronald Pelosi was a member of the City and County of San Francisco's Board of Supervisors.[4]
After moving to San Francisco, Pelosi worked her way up in Democratic politics. She was elected as party chairwoman for Northern California on January 30, 1977. She later joined forces with one of the leaders of the California Democratic Party, 5th District Congressman Phillip Burton. And in 1987, after her youngest child became a high school senior, she decided to run for political office.
Pelosi is a board member of the National Organization of Italian American Women.[5]
Pelosi lives in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco.

You're a dope.

I believe that gun control has been on the Democrats agenda since the election. You can bet your bottom dollar they are going to jump on it if and when the opportunity presents itself. I do not want anymore gun control than we already have. However with every police officer worried about having to confront an armed criminal and the media reporting every incident that depicts guns in a bad light, I'll be damned if I can come up with a reasonable argument. My only hope is that the Dems won't try to push it through because the country is just about evenly split half being Republican. I hope all the Republicans who voted for Barak are happy. I have no doubt that he will not stand up to congress for our rights to bear arms.

Dude where where were you in the 30 years before that? The Dems have been rabidly anti-gun since the JFK assassination.

Gun control was barely an issue in the election, it's not come up in any legislation, and the Supreme Court just last year ruled on the 2nd Amendment.
Why should it come up now? The President, at least, has made it clear that it's not a priority for him.
