VanillaGorilla, I don't remember Jodie Foster being locked away when John Hinkley Jr. was inspired by her to shoot Reagan.

If the next killer is inspired by the Cookie Monster will we bomb sesame street?

You know.... I don't know the answer to that question but if it were not for PC pressure, the San Bernardino wife would not have been able to get a visa and Mateen would have been detained.



What the hell...... "BET"

Wait, let me take your viewpoint.

All bad guys are just "misunderstood" individuals and if we can grow a federal government that's big enough and give enough money....all will be perfect. It's all really my fault. Those poor misunderstood individuals will be happy and we'll all get along if us dirty conservatives just go away....

You'll be a lucky guy if someone tries to take your life and a scum bag, gun toting conservative dick head like me with a valid CCP is around to save you.



I apologize in advance.

Vanilla, that's not what I'm saying at all... what I'm saying is that if the sole connection between this guy and ISIS is that he gave a shout out to ISIS on his 911 call, well, that's pretty shaky evidence and not much different from Hinkley's Jodie Foster shout out.

Now if it turns out that ISIS really did do something to plant this guy here, then that's a different story. But just being like "I identify with ISIS" and then going berzerk doesn't mean that ISIS had anything to do with it any more than the guy who shot up planned parenthood in CO and was "doing it for the babies" was a right to life plant.

As far as mass shootings during the obama admin go, 4 for 16. A significant minority to be sure. But Gabby Giffords, Aurora, Sandy Hook, Roseburg and Charleston were all white guys.

C'mon man, (a) are we limiting this to Obama's reign of terror, or are we really going back to 1972? and (b) really, now Nation of Islam is the threat?

That's a silly list, be cause the counterfactual list would include stuff like Rodney King (4 Christian Cops Beat Down Unarmed Man for Being Black) etc. It just ends up getting ridiculous.

But I guess I get it. You find the mere existence of Islam to be a threat to you. Trump is your guy, for sure.

No, I'm not supporting a religion that has no tolerance, that's Islam, not Christianity. I'm just a well armed, we'll trained patriot. Thank GOD for the second ammendment and our beautiful, wonderful FREE nation!

I guess my message is, "Don't give it away. There is a ton of blood that paid for your rights".

Yes we agree. Very very lucky indeed. Infact, an enormous amount of luck will be required because the statistics show you are far more likely to shoot me by accident than save me during a terrorist event.

Really? What's your source for the "statistics"? The last FBI data posted (2014) shows 277 justifiable homicides by civilians in that year alone. Also a note... almost double the homicide rate by blunt objects than all rifles. That includes those "horrible weapons of war, the AR15". Better put out a knife ban also, Sporks FTW!

I posted the link earlier. Sorry to shatter your dirty Harry fantasy wet dream. So from the earlier 100 or so "Muslim shootings" you posted, how many were overted by a handy conservative with fire arm? Zero.

To my knowledge there hasn't been any act of terrorism thwarted by a civilian with a gun to date. Where did the data you clamp come from then? I call BS.

No Dirty Harry fantasy here but if my home is broken into at night, my family will be protected by me. You can choose to dial 911 and wait. I can care less.

Wow, I knew you guys were off when I simply stated the fact that Obama's deficits were twice what Bush #2's wereally and you blindly argued that he had "reduced" the deficit. But wow... you flipped your wig.
Uh... Jeremy?... ^^^ahem... See line #1. Lol. I took a few days off from this thead because it was boring me. I think making bets to leave a forum are stupid. We actually need people like wake77 to remind us of how empty headed the left's arguments are so please stay, Jeremy. Even if Trump wins.

Accident rate in 2014 0.18 per 100,000 = 1.8 per million ×320 = 576 people

So yes twice as many people killed by accident as killed justifiably and as you agree, zero of those justifiable deaths were thwarting terrorist events. So BS call unjustified. Repent.

Jokes aside, killing someone in your home even if they deserve it would be a horrible event which would effect you for the rest of your life. I think I would rather they take everything and i just claim insurance.

But going back Trump and gun control, 2 years ago he was pro gun control now he is supporting the NRA. Clearly he doesn't really care either way.

Seriously? You are quoting all accidental shootings. Some idiot could drop a gun and shoot himself in the foot and it would count in your "statistics". Although I will say I would expect it from a gun hater like you.

You said, and I quote, "the statistics show you are far more likely to shoot me by accident than save me during a terrorist event". You haven't provided any data to support your claim.

If someone broke into my home I promise you, I won't lose a minute of sleep over protecting my family. You might, not me.

As far as Trump and gun control... I think it's pretty much the same way he is with most things... a crap shoot.

Hilary and Obama are both busting at the gut to make us unarmed citizens. They, like many people don't understand that our nation was founded by civilians that fought off a tyrannical government. This is why we are a free nation. This is also why there is a Second Amendment. If you don't want a gun, great, don't buy one. Don't try to take mine. Look how well it's working in Chicago. Very tough, strict gun laws there and the worst homicide rate in the entire US. Do you think the criminals who commit these murders purchased their weapons legally? By changing the laws to restrict gun ownership, you will only restrict law abiding citizens.

The stats show that 570 people per year were shot and killed by accident and we both agreed that 0 terrorists have been shot during terrorist event by civilians. Ever. Can't be a lot clearer than that.

That's sad. Many cops who are trained and desensitized by seeing horrible stuff all day every day need counseling after killing someone. If you don't, that says something about you, I would hope never to be so dead inside.

The weapons in most criminals hands we bought legally by civilians and have subsequently found there way into the black market.

My personal preference is for every time a weapon kills somebody the manufacturer should be sued. It has worked for cigarettes and the logic is just as tenuous IMO.

You failed to show any statistics that back your specific claim. There is no data. You also state that fact.

As far as suing the gun manufacturer, that's already been tried in the San Bernardino attack. The guy that tried was ruled against and was made to pay all court costs resulting in he himself being bankrupted. Justice for a frivolous suit. How many people are killed by cars every year? Do you also want to sue GM for a hit and run?

If you don't like guns you could always consider moving somewhere "safe" where they are illegal to own like....um maybe Mexico?

Never thought I'd be defending a post form the VaG. But I'm on his side with this one. I would have no problem shooting a home invader if I felt that self defense was necessary for myself or my family. I find that hard to characterize as dead inside. In fact I find it hard to believe that anyone would disagree with his statement.

That way, some humor might squeak out of you. C'mon, man! You need to lighten up as well. You're such an easy target because you make yourself one by only parroting the left's thoughts and party lines with a bunch of hate and vitriol. Maybe consider an unbiased news source or something? Your coconspirators (sarcasm) in this thread do that occasionally and it's somewhat refreshing or challenging enough to finish reading what they have to say. I don't know how else to advise you.....

You have democrats going fascist at every trump rally. You have one who is by definition a illegal immigrant who drop across the country, rented a gun, and then tried to wrestle a cops gun out of his holster to kill Trump. When are you going to wake up.

The democrat party is turning into 1933 Germany. IT IS GOING TO GET UGLY. I bet a dollar that someone is going to finally go a retaliate if it gets any worse. It is not going to be pretty. Lord help us all if that happens because it is going to be a game changer.

I mean I guess you can say that for years but doesn't make it true. Go take a look at that survey I linked. Trump actually leads among voters making 50k or more.

So if "college grad" and "richest of the rich" were synonymous that would play perfectly for Trump because there are way more "poorest of the poor" than there are "richest of the rich."

What the survey really shows is that Trump's core support is among uneducated working class whites. He's soft with those making under $50k, he's soft with minorities, he's soft with college educated voters, and he's soft (but not quite as soft) with college educated whites.

Look at the voting map of America. They major democrat voting areas are around the large cities. The republican areas are what is considered rural America.

You just posted that Clinton has a 27 point lead among college educated voters. Guess where most of those type go to for jobs? The city. There is a wage gap among college educated and non college educated. Besides I don't think most republicans answer those polls. I know I got called twice so far and I blew them off.

Republicans are always soft with minorities. Even though Republicans championed pretty much every major civil rights act in this countries history, they have not championed special rights and benefits. That was part LBJ's racist claim to keep blacks voting democrat for the next 200 years by pushing for special status and benefits.

He has support among working class whites? That is the middle class. That is exactly what I said.

Richest of the rich is the top 1% and to be honest most of the college educated is the top 12% easily.

The SA in 1933 Germany would use suppression through violence. If you showed up to support your candidate, there would be a mob of brown shirts there to beat you up. How many times have Trump supporters been at a democrat rally trying to keep a democrat from speaking? Almost every time Trump speaks, the crowd is infiltrated by democrats who try and suppress his speech. Rush the stage. Beat up supporters who are trying to make it back to their cars to leave.

And now have tried to steal a cops gun to murder Trump.

Delta, if you're talking about the Civil Rights Act of 64 then you should go look at why the Republicans outvoted the dems on that bill. The dems created the bill and a dem president passed it, yet there is a very very specific reason why more Republicans voted for it than dems. Go read.

You realize the SA was one of the main reasons Hitler came to power and before 1933 it was the complete opposite of what you're talking about. The SA were the ones using violence to get Hitler's message out. Once Hitler rose to power and saw the SA as an opponent this switched around the time you're talking about. But for the love of god do some studying before you post stuff like that. The SA is the exact opposite of what you're talking about in this current state. They made it virtually impossible to speak against Hitler at a rally when he was rising to power.

Does this look like Trump with Dem supporters? LOL

Actually I saw it on facebook sources first a few days ago. Fox finally picked it up then I finally seen it on CNN as a side bar the day after Fox had it. Then I finally seen it in democraticundergound after that.

Trust me. No one is wanting to talk about it. Heck I brought it up here and it is barely getting any run.

This guy actually was caught at one of his rallies, inside the building, drove across the country, trained for it, and then tried to do it. Democrats and their supporters are coming unhinged.

You basically just said everything I did. Did you just join this month to come up with that?

Hitler only "switched" because he did not need them anymore. He finally legitimized his standing in the elections. Much of that was his basis that the only reason the German economy was doing well was due to the US banks propping up the economy post WW1. After the US economy collapsed, the German people started to listen to Hitlers ideas and his party started to win seats in government.

His propaganda arm became less useful as they could easily turn on him. Thus the night of the long knives.


At the end of the day, you can try and argument 1933, 1934, 1944. The point of the whole discussion is what tactics are being used by who. I stand that democrats are trying to use violence to suppress support and quiet those with opposition voice. Care to address that? (and posting a picture of old white nazi's is not a counter argument)

Uh..... Who do you think started the Klan? Of course they had ties to the confederacy.

And before you go to your next card that the parties switched, that is a lie too. The democrats continued to elect the same racists as they did before all the way up until the 2000's when they finally died.

Got ya. I guess you could say that in that context. Considering 1/3 of california prisons alone are filled with violent offenders that crossed the mexican boarder and there are hundreds of thousands of gang members that have come across the boarder of Mexico, I can get behind that point. That is also not the whole quote.

I would absolutely put a muslim ban in place until we figure out as to why we are putting a priority on bringing in muslims of fighting age from the 10 countries that have the death penalty for being gay.

I'm paraphrasing Trump. There are many things he says that are inflammatory. Like... "I think Islam hates us". And that the religion is partly defined by tremendous hatred.

It's not a issue of whether you believe it to be true or not. It's simply not appropriate for the leader of the US to use language like that. The violence that Trump is experiencing is a testament to that claim. And banning people entering the country based on their religion is against the law of the land.

It's not a issue of whether you believe it to be true or not. It's simply not appropriate for the leader of the US to use language like that. The violence that Trump is experiencing is a testament to that claim. And banning people entering the country based on their religion is against the law of the land.
I agree. He should choose his words better.

On the side of that, I find it a little disturbing that anyone can excuse people and their violence. That is like saying the girl should have known what she was wearing would get her jumped. Shining a light on the roaches is not the flashlight holders problem for the roaches.
