Very droll.

Its quite good really, just unfortunate that everyone except its target audience will read it.

Who is the target audience? (And I object to the term "target" in this instance.) ((just kidding!)).

I find it funny that the book is supposed to "provoke rational discussion" yet all the proceeds go to the largest anti-2A lobby in America.

Yeah, ok.

"Provoke rational discussion" is liberalspeak for "we want to take away your right to own guns a incrementally".

Order they'll be taken:

Assault Weapons (semi-autos)
Saturday night specials (handguns)
Sniper Rifles (anything that can mount a scope)
Trench Sweepers (shotguns)

I myself think that assault rifles should be banned, but not hunting rifles, handguns or shotguns.

They were banned in 1986. What you have been programmed to call an "assault weapon" is really just a civilian semi-automatic rifle of medium caliber that bears a resemblance to an assault weapon.

When it's the turn of hunting rifles, handguns and shotguns, and it will be you can bet on it, they won't be called that. They'll be called scary names like "High Powered Sniper Rifles and "Saturday Night Special" to scare uninformed people such as yourself into supporting their power grab.

Make no mistake. The politicians pushing for these bans don't give a hoot about protecting school children. This is all about power over the people.

To them I have one thing to say:

They might actually care, but they could just be doing it the wrong way out of fear or plain ignorance.

I personally think that gun control is a good thing, but the American people should decide what happens to them.

So what is assasult rifle- browning 0.5?
so called Civilian guns are exactly same with little iwork around.

What's really ironic about all of his is that the pro-gun and anti-gun people all want the same thing: No more school shootings. They're all arguing about the way to stop that from happening.

Life is cruel.

Dodge, duck and weave all you want. The bottom line is this: You troll people, you get banned. Period.

Deal with what was written not with what you want to think was written.

Yes it is, and yes it does. At least he put a little effort into it. He also doesn't make a habit of mocking people the way you do.

So more words is not neccasarily good.
I "mock" what was written not the person and a picture paints a thosuand words
So which is better to write? "that is silly notion" is it not as good as "that is a really really silly notion that even at a stretch makes no sense"?

No, and it doesn't matter.

Of course it matters. and the answer is arguably "yes".

You're diverting the discussion away from your bad behaviour, and it won't work. If you want to discuss, discuss, don't troll.

No, the discussion is exactly where it was, it is you who is trying to divert it because you don't think "" means what it means.

So come along Steve cut to the chase. Go to the bottom line or reverse it and go beyond the top line as far as you want.
If the basis of the arguement make no sense either at the top or at the bottom then the whole arguement makes no sense and is a moment.
Feel free to chose your own top line as far up the weapons chain as you like.

No, it's not better. Those are also not honest debate. You put up arguments and you justify them. You don't just talk about how something is silly.

Of course it matters. and the answer is arguably "yes".

Then debate the subject or not, but don't post insults just to do it.

If you can't debate the subject honestly, then don't comment at all. The bottom line here is that you are closer to the edge than you have ever been.

You have been warned.

Some liberalwrite I can pretty much agree with: Why liberals should love the Second Amendment
It's all in the comma.
Like said before, I wish Team conservative would fight with the same energy for the rest of the Bill Of Rights than they do for the 2nd Amendment.

'Rage' is a school massacre guide in the same way like 'It' is a guide to become a killer clown...

That is a great article! Thanks for the link.

Boths sides have agendas, and it's all politics, with a lot of emotionalism and sensationalism added in.
