Congrats obama

[nando]

billary isn't stupid. maybe she doesn't like guns or something, but she must realize that confiscation would send shit flying. that would be Waco, Texas on a national scale.

I think this whole discussion says way more about the modern republican party than anyone on the left. They've got you guys so scared, so paranoid, that hours after Obama won the election ammo prices jumped, everyone is freaking out about their guns, stockpiling and hiding in a bunker somewhere. The only people seriously talking about taking away guns are on the right. They've got the gun owners paranoid and afraid, right where they'd like them. It's almost like the republicans have investments in weapons manufacturers..

Do you REALLY think is it a giant conspiracy for one person to shove under a rug an effort to stop dictators slaughtering people for his best interests and it also being an underhanded strategy to prevent you from buying cool foreign guns and tracking you, even if the draft makes NO MENTION OF IT? No.

The best part of the conspiracies surrounding this subject is that they all rely on super secrecy--except the UN reveals its "real" hand in a sudden, dramatic fashion one day after the election. :rofl:

I would vote for Chuck.

Bad idea. Ol' Chuck has become a religious fundamentalist. And history shows the further away from public office their ilk are kept, the better.

one of the better and more true statements ITT. don't they make you kiddies take GOV/ECON to graduate HS anymore?

Yes. As I remind people on a near daily basis, the President makes NO law. Even Executive Orders cannot run afoul of established law.

I've already dispatched letters to Boehner and McConnell reminding them that their avowed mission to make Obama a one-term President at all costs has failed, and that it's time to go to work for the rest of us.

Maybe get that 10% approval rating up a few points?

Let's just put it this way. You may think you have it tough. But based on the couple of posts you have here, you have no fucking idea what tough times are. Keep warm and comfy in your parents place while getting help from the government and driving a very nice car compared to what many people have for transportation. You even have a $1k project car sitting there you could potentially sell. Let me know when you're eating pancakes for dinner and putting three pieces of Budding cold slices on your sandwiches for lunch. While walking two miles each way to work because you can't afford the bus tickets. Try that kind of shit on for size and tell me how it feels.

Brother, you keep acting like you know me in the slightest bit. Two miles isn't shit. Try walking 22 miles round trip in 115° Tucson weather every other day to help pay for food for your sick friend. How many nights have you had to sleep in the streets? How many guns have you had in your face? How many times have you lost everything you own? My life now is a cakewalk compared to what I've been through, and the life I've been through is a cakewalk compared to what people in this world go through every day.

I truly hope you have a wonderful life Josh, and I hope you never have to depend on the government for help.

Cheers

Don't feed the troll.

He's the first to whine when anybody "judges" him but clearly has no problem over-analyzing and assuming a ton of details about your life based on one or two internet posts.

THe US suffers from battered wife syndrome.

10% approval rating, yet how many were re-elected?

And it's funny because Obama has actually signed legislation expanding gun carry laws.

It's Neo-Conservatism that has people paranoid. People like to be afraid and feel threatened, it tends to unite them against a common enemy whether real or imagined, and politicians have used this to their advantage throughout history. One of my favorite documentaries, "The Power of Nightmares" does a great job of exploring Neo-Conservative ideology, radical Islam, and their roots. I can't recommend it enough.

that entire "article" is based on a rumor. lol

I don’t have the minutes of the meeting (yet), but sources tell me California Senator and longtime gun-hater Dianne Feinstein’s legal staff held meetings on Friday with FTB/ATF legal staff to discuss a new “Assault Weapons Ban” Madame Feinstein would be looking to push through Congress if President Obama wins reelection.

It's conspiracy theory bullshit because the 2nd Amendment prohibits it and law enforcement and the national guard won't enforce an all out ban.

LaPierre and crew must get down on their knees and thank god every single day that Obama is president, and even more so that he got re-elected. Seriously, he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to their organization. He's the big black boogeyman that's got every paranoid chuckle-fuck out on BFE scared to death, and making the gun & ammo manufactureres money hand over fist.

Paranoia is business, and business is good.

I went to that site, saw the ads. This is seriously hilarious. Tinfoilhatsville or what.

[ColdAccord]
