Anarchy is where the worst of the extreme Right Wing and the Worst of the extreme Left wing meet, at the opposite end of civilization.

Good point. We don't, nor should we, all lose our ability to drive because a few will drive drunk. jmg257 Aug 2016 #68

Agree - AFAIK, no one called for no driving at all. Yes - like no drunk driving, jmg257 Aug 2016 #71
Even one is too many, yeah? procon Aug 2016 #85
Can you provide a cite or link to where I have made "excuses"? Marengo Aug 2016 #89
That's a weak response. procon Aug 2016 #95
You made a claim, now back it up. Where, specifically, have I made excuses? Marengo Aug 2016 #97
That's terrible. procon Aug 2016 #101
Where have I stated that restrictions are unnecessary. Please provide a citation. Marengo Aug 2016 #107
Why do you think that irrelevant semantics are a valid excuse for gun violence? procon Aug 2016 #112
You are claiming I hold a position that I have not articulated. How can this not be considered... Marengo Aug 2016 #117
I'm still waiting on a cite to where I stated restrictions are unnecessary. Or, do we need to open.. Marengo Aug 2016 #125
Yes, daddy. procon Aug 2016 #127

"I am very encouraged that public safety will be restored." Are you talking Texas campuses, or jmg257 Aug 2016 #141
What is your reasoning why one public venue should be different from another? procon Aug 2016 #146
As the practice seems to be a safe one (at least in Texas), where's the problem? friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #149
Where is the human "safety" component? procon Aug 2016 #151
Some people carry/want guns so they can feel safer. Other people don't want jmg257 Aug 2016 #153
Generally I don't. I also think that is the same argument many pro-gunners use. jmg257 Aug 2016 #150
I can't criticise scathingly or otherwise, of a figure who isn't what you say... beevul Aug 2016 #152
Ack... please don't tell me about your penis problems. procon Aug 2016 #154
Ack please dont tell me about your control problems. beevul Aug 2016 #155
Still can't comment on the topic? procon Aug 2016 #157
I was just following your lead. beevul Aug 2016 #159
You may also cite where I have stated I open carry in a public space. Marengo Aug 2016 #158
Well, you've had about an hour. Where's the link or cite I asked for? Marengo Aug 2016 #96

Why not? I like to have as much information as possible before staking out a position... Marengo Aug 2016 #118

And none of them happened where carrying a gun was legal friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #143
What will stop it from happening? Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2016 #2
Well, we could make it more difficult for nutjobs to get their hands on guns... Photographer Aug 2016 #4
At the expense of seeming cynical I can't help but wonder if the statement Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2016 #8

Yawns. Photographer Aug 2016 #26
"Yawns." Beyond some fatuous animosity towards people in the ether, sounds like you don't care. Eleanors38 Aug 2016 #77
I think you should apologize Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #28
too late for that pintobean Aug 2016 #35
Indeed so Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #47

The usual refrains are -- Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2016 #147
There's a one-sentence reply for that: "Donald Trump and his supporters" friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #148
A big part of the issue is that they are not going away. jmg257 Aug 2016 #145
Just needs to happen once. baldguy Aug 2016 #3

Why is it that RWers always try to deflect & distract with non sequiturs baldguy Aug 2016 #103
"deflect & distract with non sequiturs when their argument goes south?" Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2016 #108

Oh. Seems like a silly OP then. linuxman Aug 2016 #11

A couple of questions Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #30
far as I know back then guns were banned on campus rurallib Aug 2016 #43
So you are saying it was a person breaking the law Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #50
most laws are irrelevant if there is no enforcement rurallib Aug 2016 #102
Who wants to put weapons in the hands Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #105
damned if I know. I thought that's what you were arguing for. rurallib Aug 2016 #106
I have NEVER argued or even spoke of that Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #111
back in your first couple of responses rurallib Aug 2016 #113
Of course I accept that apology Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #115

If this is in reference to the decision regarding the Texas Professors, does it really make a Waldorf Aug 2016 #44
No need to make it legal and endorse immoral behavior, which is what NRA and other gunners want. Hoyt Aug 2016 #49
Theres nothing immoral about lawfully and peacably carrying a gun. Nothing. beevul Aug 2016 #86
That's the philosophy of the notorious right wing reactionary, Robert Bork: friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #133
Well "gunz are good" is philosophy of Trump and the white wing yahoos that support him. Hoyt Aug 2016 #137
Disapproval, however strongly felt, is not sufficient reason to ban anything friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #142
No. But being LEGAL means more people are likely to do it. Adrahil Aug 2016 #51
EXACTLY! Just what we need, a gun store or two popping up next to pizza joints and clubs near Hoyt Aug 2016 #56
I imagine you would get a lot more trouble from the bars nearby than a gun store or two Waldorf Aug 2016 #63
Especially if they go from class to the bar with their gun tucked in their pants. Might be illegal, Hoyt Aug 2016 #73
Apparently a felony...let's hope they learn that one when they get their permit. jmg257 Aug 2016 #74
How about the grow up, and act like an adult by leaving the friggin things at home. Hoyt Aug 2016 #75
In Texas?? Not sure "adult" has much to do with it. The adult legislature passed the law after all. jmg257 Aug 2016 #76
Heh. McBride's Guns is on the edge of U.T.'s West Campus Neighborhood, down the street Eleanors38 Aug 2016 #80
They will be glad of extra gun stores if UBC passes. Added convenience for all the private transfers jmg257 Aug 2016 #84
Probably would be convenient. But that store's stuff is high. Eleanors38 Aug 2016 #90
They look more like a true sportsman store, but customer base still lacks diversity. Hoyt Aug 2016 #88
"Personally," I don't remember me describing it at all. Believe me it's a big store... Eleanors38 Aug 2016 #92
What's the issue with "diversity"? Marengo Aug 2016 #94
I believe the vast majority of gunners, gun profiteers, NRA, etc., are white wingers. Hoyt Aug 2016 #99
How often do you go to the range, gun store, or gun show? How many CCW classes have you attended? Marengo Aug 2016 #100
Ypy are free to post photos, start with a Massad Ayoob graduating class Hoyt Aug 2016 #104
Thats not an answer Hoyt. How about some numbers? How many times? Marengo Aug 2016 #109
Search under "gun shows." Post first few photos that show the croud. Do same for NRA meeting. Hoyt Aug 2016 #116
How many times have YOU visited a shooting range, gun show, or cow permit class? I want numbers. Marengo Aug 2016 #119
Many times in my younger years, the gun nut yahoos became disgusting quickly. They were Hoyt Aug 2016 #120

You're slipping. You left out Chuck E Cheeze. beevul Aug 2016 #87
Glad you noticed. Guess that post won't go into your file. Hoyt Aug 2016 #91
