No SIR.

It isn't, it really isn't.
There has been a huge wave of this PC BS in the last few years, snowballing with this weird new "feminism" wave and now the result is exactly that.

Disagree with what SJW's want?
Hate speech!

Yeah, tolerance is a good thing, but people are being way too extreme about it now, to the point that they're actively sabotaging themselves.

But equally the push back has gone just as extreme...case in point GOP delegate and soon to be leader of the Republican party Donald Trump.

Yeah, the pendulum swings radically the opposite direction. Which is why reasonable people of good will must try to work together, even when it means compromise. And marginalize the radicals, like Trump.

Indeed, and to be honest Neal, as much as I know you like the guy, I think that Cruz is a bit too radical too, let's not forget after all that he was the de facto leader of the 'Tea Party' which has been undermining the GOP for the past decade. Unfortunately the best candidate, well...in my opinion at least, is Kaisch and he's only just starting to get off the starting blocks.

A Kaisch/Sanders battle would have made a refreshingly non-sensational debate and perhaps restored some much needed civility to American politics.

Maybe next time, eh?

Unfortunately when it comes to the thread topic, compromise for the anti-gunners has come to mean that they'll settle for half an infringement for now then be right back at it again next year wanting to compromise for half of what's left and so on and so on. This is why pro-RKBA folks have refused play that game anymore even if it means being labeled radicals.

(CNN)A customer drinking coffee at a Seattle 7-Eleven Sunday morning drew a pistol and shot dead a hatchet-wielding man who went after him and the store clerk, authorities said. Investigators haven't yet identified the suspect, who's believed to be in his 40s and was wearing a mask when he entered the store early Sunday, the King County Sheriff's Office said. "The suspect did not make any statements but swung the hatchet at the customer and then went behind the counter and attacked the clerk," the sheriff's office said. Then, the customer fired back, according to the sheriff's office. Paramedics tried to resuscitate the suspect, authorities said, but he died at the scene. The customer, a 60-year-old man, had a concealed pistol license, according to the sheriff's office. He was not injured. The store's 58-year-old clerk had a minor injury to his stomach from the hatchet attack, the sheriff's office said.

Strange things happen when guns are involved.

Whatever it is a gun, riffle, machine gun etc there is one common thing behind all these weapons

A human-So the problem is not exactly the weapon but the person carrying or holding the weapon.

If there weren't any weapon-those people would have hurt/killed an another person or persons in some way or other.

not really. Most of the time nothing of interest happens when guns are involved.

The possibilities is increasing even in percentage according to surveys.

Bunch of bernie/hillary protesters in Sarasota yesterday holding signs saying they don't want their snot noses playing at someone's house who might not have his firearms properly secured. I really wanted to go make my own sign promoting natural selection. Teach your little gender confused snot noses some firearms safety instead why don't 'cha.

Firearms safety seems to be quite some problem in the US (and probably elsewhere as well) these days.

At some point, it might help to address mental health as well. Mentally unstable people and guns are a bad mix and will never end well for anyone.
