The fear that those killings engender is the rationale that justifies owning guns. There will be no massacre terrible enough to make them unafraid. Fear defines Conservatism.
@12: Not just Australia. A joke I once heard in Canada: How do you know which side of the border you're on when you visit Niagara Falls? If your money is leaving your wallet faster than expected because of high prices, you're on the Canadian side. If your money is leaving your wallet faster than expected because someone is pointing a gun at you, you're on the American side.
@20, do you really not see the difference between owning a gun, and owning a gun that you got your name AND TITLE engraved on, and tweeting a photo of said gun?
Bernie has said he does not own a gun. Don't know about Clinton but I'd guess not. Don't really see either of them posting pictures of a gun online, much less getting their name engraved on it.
On a rare serious note, when I was a youthful scrappy newspaperboy and newspaper subscription sales type, I did well enough to occasionally win trips for the highest record of subscriptions sold.
One of those trips took us (the thirty or so winners) to Miami for the Orange Bowl game, where I chanced to meet a young fellow named Don Trump during a hotel-sponsored dance.
Although limited in time, I would most definitely state that nothing about him suggested a bully, simply a regular guy from a wealthy family, who hung with the best looking girls.
Now since it was Jeb Bush who claims that Donald Trump is a "bully" it is curious how quickly he forgets about his own brother, who got into trouble in his Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity for branding young students during their initiation process.
Now this would indicate the mindset of a bully (and psychopath)!
realistically, this was probably a gift from some dickbag RKBA organization while he was Gov of FL.
the guns are never going away, the killings are never going to stop. because, as Jeb! noted, America. firearms are now a cornerstone of Conservative ideology - 2nd on the list of things they are persecuted for, after Christianity.
@ 34 - John got the name of the song from a hunting magazine that was kicking around the studio...and he wrote it in a year of assassinations, the violent suppression of protest from Chicago to Prague and some of the bloodiest fighting in Vietnam.
Also explains the constant shooting himself in the foot...
Thanks, Jeb for scaring away more tourist dollars.
It's not like we need the money to patch up our kids who get shot.
@2: Thread winner.
Your Party has moved so far away from you sweet little raindrop yet still you can't see it
Poor little raindrop
Lost little raindrop
