Wow

I get dislikes for that............ WOW, well I guess you approve of someone wishing someone else bad things..............

[Stokdgs]

That`s kind of a defeatist attitude, isn`t it? We can`t fix anything, so why even try? Makes you wonder why people get chemotherapy, lots of people still die anyway.

Not really a defeatist attitude at all.. No one - especially - Ronkh and I for starters are EVER going to give up on whatever we set out to do...

How you turned this into "we cant fix anything, so why even try?" is unbelieveable...

And that last bit of tripe you wrote -- shame on you...

@Setec Astronomy, Given the circumstances of which you are aware, this post is completely out of line. Utter nonsense. Show a little class or sell it somewhere else. At the very least, you owe Ron an apology.

Well I`m lost. Analogies are off limits? I personally have no clue about Ron`s situation and I can`t speak for Setec, but I think his analogy was meant to draw a comparison that was easily relatable (to all of us) to illustrate that we shouldn`t just accept the way things are. We all know someone with cancer... my dad died of cancer and I don`t find his analogy offensive at all....

No, it was out of line, considering Ron`s situation. I`m sorry Ron, it was uncalled for.

THe fact is I am dying of cancer, and I am offended at his comment.

There`s lots of other appropriate analogies that could have been used. I`ve only been on this forum for a few weeks, and I understand the situation. The reason I get on this forum pretty much everyday, is because of how classy everyone seems too be on here.

At what point does discussing gun control become a liberal agenda....waiting periods, background checks, banning a particular weapon? It is not binary. There is a broad range of opinions witjhthe extremes driving the discussion.

My definition of hypocrisy is promoting claims like "Hilliary is lying" as if they are exposing the truth and then turns around and never mentions all Trump`s lies. Chronic hypocrites just cannot viewed as credible since most everything said has an agenda. You cannot have an honest discussion with them. But sympathetic people like to hear what they want to hear.

Bunky,

Typically my use of "liberal agenda" means the liberal left, mainly far left (sadly the democratic party has been taken over by more of the far left anti-American, socialist crowd) and how that group seems to be very offended at just about anything and everything America was founded on and what America is.

The young kids in high school, marching and holding town halls, want to eradicate the 2nd Amendment. To them and many others it is old, archaic and not meant for modern times. What they are too ignorant to grasp is that the First and Second Amendments go hand in hand. If we remove the 2A how then can we protect the First?

Hillary is a liar. Full blown in your face lying snake. Trump is, I am sure, just as full of it but in Hillary`s case, that women boils my blood. Her troop of faithful butt kissers are liars also. Huma Abedin and Susan Rice are just as corrupt and it would make me jump for joy seeing them all doing a perp walk in cuffs! BUT sadly that will NEVER happen because they are too big to go down. If Trump is guilty of anything criminal then get his butt tossed out also.

Hey Ron, you`re not dying of cancer, you`re living with cancer. There`s a difference. You could get hit by a truck, die from falling space debris or a host of other things that can kill you long before cancer.

I`m praying for you.

People wanting to get rid of guns are not hypocrites. They are just not realistic and trying to get attention to the issue but this is how the political process always works. This is the strategy of by all parties for some extreme agenda to stir up a group. The fact that Rubio and Scott have relented on a couple points means they have accomplished some aspect of their agenda.

I am not for banning guns but believe reasonable restrictions should be adopted.

If you dislike Hilliary for lying, you should equally dislike Trump. If not, then it was not lying that was the basis of the opinion. It is a false rationalization.

What you consider "reasonable" others may not.

Lame attack on the media. If 10 to 17 people in Chicago were shot in the same incident, I`m pretty sure that every new organization would cover it. You can`t cover every single death that happens in the country.

So are you saying that there should be no line drawn anywhere on what type of guns the general public should have access too?

Rofl, the MSM doesn`t seem to care much when that many people get killed in Chicago every weekend

No wonder the Sheriff was so defensive.

Seems to be a compelling case for not solely relying on law enforcement for protection
