Liberal ban on magazine size.

Quote from LORD KAL-EL:

It's misleading to use switzerland as an example
"The Swiss army has long been a militia trained and structured to rapidly respond against foreign aggression. Swiss males grow up expecting to undergo basic military training, usually at age 20 in the Rekrutenschule (German for "recruit school"), the initial boot camp, after which Swiss men remain part of the "militia" in reserve capacity until age 30 (age 34 for officers). Each such individual is required to keep his army-issued personal weapon (the 5.56x45mm Sig 550 rifle for enlisted personnel and/or the 9mm SIG-Sauer P220 semi-automatic pistol for officers, medical and postal personnel) at home with a specified personal retention quantity of government-issued personal ammunition (50 rounds 5.56 mm / 48 rounds 9mm), which is sealed and inspected regularly to ensure that no unauthorized use takes place.[3] The ammunition are intended for use while traveling to the army barracks in case of invasion.

When their period of service has ended, militiamen have the choice of keeping their personal weapon and other selected items of their equipment. In this case of retention, the rifle is sent to the weapons factory where the fully automatic function is removed; the rifle is then returned to the discharged owner. The rifle is then a semi-automatic or self-loading rifle."

How is it misleading? Ever heard of Timothy McVeigh? A wonderful young chap, decorated soldier with all the proper training. He would never use his skills for evil no? Well, except for the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, he was a pretty upstanding citizen.

It's misleading to count a country whose armed forces consist of all males of a certain age be in the militia and keep their weapons in their homes as being the equivalent to citizens arming themselves with hand guns in the US or Canada.

IOW Michele Moore once again massaged the evidence to make a point.

Criminals BY DEFINITION break the law. So whatever you outlaw, only outlaws will have. What part of that don't you libturds understand?

If you want stricter gun laws, why don't you just move to Mexico?

You know, Nazi Germany took away all the guns from the people. Very strict gun control there. Not much gun violence there to speak of huh? LOL. Very peaceful time.

Quote from Hello:

I want to start this post by saying that i have never owned, or fired a gun, and have no intention of firing a gun.

Liberals want to ban high capacity magazines.

Lets say we do that, what is stopping a potential shooter from loading 6 glocks and holstering them all fully loaded, as opposed to having one thirty bullet clip in the pocket. What happens then? Seems like another version of liberal stupidity in my eyes.

If a guy is fully content on killing he isnt going to let magazine laws slow him down, hed just buy 5 more glocks fully loaded and when one clip runs out of the gun he is shooting he would grab the next fully loaded gun in his pocket and start firing. :It doesnt seem like rocket science to me, even though i have never shot a gun..... what would slow a psychopath down in this scenario?? Certainly it wouldnt be magaine laws..... unless they limited him to 1 bullet per clip

I think that liberals should just pass a law saying that nobody is allowed to kill unarmed civilians.. oh wait...

Certainly not very peaceful for Jews... maybe libturds want stricter gun laws because they hate Jews!

Maybe the existing law would be more effective if libturds made it stricter so violators would be put on mandatory double secret probation.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

This is an interesting observation. You assume however that the government can actually decide to "do something" about poverty and make it so. Nearly 50 years of failed anti-poverty programs and trillions of dollars down the drain would counsel caution on that score.

Research has proved that the factors that will get you out and keep you out of poverty have little to do with government policy. Things like don't have children out of wedlock, stay married, finish school, don't do drugs and stay out of jail. Unfortunately, these tend to be things that are largely chosen behavior and hence reflective of character and culture.

What the government can do is twofold. One, provide a healthy economy so people doing the right things can find decent jobs. Two, don't adopt policies that reward dysfunctional behavior and thus undermine the traits that keep one out of poverty.

Excellent reply, AAA.

This argument Lawrence O'Donnell makes is retarded. What if it was raining that day and they canceled the event, then what? I always hate when the right or the left tries to engage in revisionist history and play what if's for political points.

This is precisely why you are a failed trader, you have no idea what you are talking about but keep pretending like you do.

Try this link and find out where exactly you went wrong.
