Thank you!
But in all seriousness, I am really starting to wonder about all these stories lately about mic's being left on, being recorded on camera, ect. Maybe it's been going on for a while and I've just been paying more attention lately, I don't know. But it sure seems we would be having a lot of "staffer's or technical people getting fired for this type of thing.

I believe the rabbit hole goes deeper. Never can I remember such a push to grab guns, you must ask yourself why? Do you really think they care about people? I don't think it is possible for them to care when they are lining their pockets with our money. So why the push to take honest people's guns? Something bad is coming down the pike and they know about it and are not telling us. "Being in the know" and lying to everyone now puts them in a position of being fearful of us.

The american defintion of right vs left is NO DIFFERENT than the right vs left definition of any other country. The world does not revolve around america and its deranged government along with its hugely misinformed voting base.

In my humble Opinion You are right! I believe it will be economic and the elite want as many guns out of our hands as possible! This way when the masses are starving because they can't afford to eat, pay the rent, buy gas and make a decent salary they boys on the hill wont have to worry about patriots armed with guns marching into DC! They know that torches and pitchforks are easy to defend against! God help us if we give in to their posturing!

I just wish more leftest would be honest about how they feel towards firearms. At least then we would know who the fascists were.
Interesting point... So why do you think they aren't being honest about it? Because they are afraid of the political backlash from their constituents? If that's the case, don't you think that is part of the reason Americans are so jaded about their government these days?
I can't speak for you, but I'm bone tired of politicians who say one thing to get voted into office and then do the complete opposite when it's time to ante up.... And that goes for BOTH sides of the house - Republican OR Democrat. Whatever happened to standing up for what you believed in and sticking to it?

Other then your little troll bait dig at conservatives, perhaps you should actually take a second and click the link and listen to the audio.
The culture is the most important part of gun control. And it goes far beyond the criminal aspect, or the legal aspect. It has to do with many other parts of society.
Both sides have an argument when it comes to gun control, it's as simple as that. What you have to ask yourselves is, do we have the culture that can own guns responsibly?

i totally agreee, and what i would say happened to sticking up for what you beleive in would be that i think people often enter politics with good intentions (some people anyway) but the system is set up so that the power corrupts, they will say anything to get eleceted, and once elected they will say and do anything to stay in power, that why there are so many broken promises. Also, think about any country like the US or Aus that basically has a two major party system, for some reason it seems almost like the country is split down the middle, and when the votes are counted its always fairly close, you know like at most a 40/60% split, so your pretty much going to have at the very least 40% of your constituents that didnt want you there in the first place, now you have to try to keep them happy to stay in power, while also trying to keep happy the say 60% that did elect you, and want the opposite of the 40% who didnt elect you.
what a spastic system

What is right for America is right for America. If you find America too bright, and the world too dim, why not try to increase the brightens of the world instead of trying to dim America?
Contrary to the globalist perspective, America isn't the cause of all the world's ills. America has just had the misfortune of rising to power right when the shock-wave from four centuries of European imperialism hit the world, as the cold war merely delayed it's blunt blow.
The only reason Europe bounced back so quickly, was because America was untouched by the war. This enabled America to rebuild western Europe quickly, after the war ended. Granted there was many political and economic reasons, but America has a long track record of doing business that is beneficial all around.
Granted since Nixon and Kissinger's "realpolitics", things have gone down the drain faster than Tysons boxing career...........
