Surprise, surprise.  Obama is using schoolkids as props in his big announcement tomorrow.

They have no position on specific gun control initiatives, which has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.

Why the sarcasm?  Kids did die didnt they?  The most recent tragedy is the impetus for this isn't it?

Wasn't it a bunch of murdered schoolkids that started this whole discussion in the first place?  Or are you starting to channel James Yeager now?

Obama's anti-gun agenda has nothing to do with the tragedy.  Whatever he's going to propose tomorrow, I can guarantee it's been in the Dems' back pocket for quite a while.  They were just waiting for a crisis/tragedy to push it.

Nice cop out.

They don't give two shits about the Second Amendment, so I wouldn't give them credit for defending the Bill of Rights.

So you defend that NRA for standing up for civil rights, even though the only rights they care about are the rights to bear arms?
Whereas the ACLU - which defends every single other  individual and civil right in the Constitution - they get a big fat zero on the Spicy Liberty Exam because they don't take any position on gun rights.

Why don't you just fess up and admit the patchouli turns you off.

It's not a cop out - they are very clear that they do not beleive that the Second Amendment raises any civil liberties issues.  Because the ACLU only takes positions on civil liberties issues, they have nothing to say, just like they have nothing to say about monetary policy, or inheritance rights.

Well the NRA is pretty much by definition focused on the 2nd Amendment and gun rights.

I have, actually.  The fact that they are left-leaning is the reason I don't like them.

Right, he waited his entire first administration and all the mass shootings during it to finally spring his "anti-gun agenda" on us.  Man, you've officially drank the La Pierre Kool-Aid.    :lol:

You usually get a pass for your anti-choice fetus love and your "traditional gender roles" bullshit, but congrats, you've officially scored the Ignorant White Trash Hat Trick.  :cheers:

Whether or not it's been a huge priority for Obama himself, his proposals tomorrow will undoubtedly contain items from the Dem anti-gun faction's wish list.  Can we at least agree upon that?  Anyway when he announces his proposals tomorrow they will become his anti-gun agenda.

QuoteMan, you've officially drank the La Pierre Kool-Aid.    :lol:

Really?  That's what put me over the edge in your book?  Okay :D

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

:yawn:  Shouldn't you be mining old threads in hopes of digging up ammo to use against me?
