At The Atlanta Journal Constitution in Gingrey’s home state, writer
Jay Bookman takes issue with the increasing trend of Americans
coming
to public meeting with deadly force in-tow. “It is attempted
intimidation,” he wrote. “It is an acknowledgment
that, lacking the intellectual firepower and ammunition to carry
the
day, the person in question is prepared to try to settle the issue
using the kind of firepower and ammunition that any idiot can
purchase
at a local gunshop.”

Bookman continues: “It also reflects a growing mindset among some
that
the government just isn’t listening and thus must be made to
listen,
one way or the other. There’s a fundamental childishness to that
attitude, a notion that equates listening to agreement. The person
in
question is not prepared to accept the idea that having listened to
him, a majority of his fellow Americans might decide that he is
wrong.
So he reserves the right to try to impose his view at the point of
a
gun.”
Sooner rather than later, one of the gun-toting right-wing
nincompoops is going to open fire or "have an accident" or get into
a brawl with law enforcement.

When these armed idiots show up at public meetings at which the
president is going to appear, it increases the workload of the
secret service and local police forces.
Some kind of federal law restricting weapons within a couple thousand
feet of anywhere the President of member of congress may be is in
order
This is something you couldn't trust the individual states to
pass/enforce.
I've been practicing so I can handle the impending invasion of the
Loogy/JustHate Zombies...

First five shot group at 100 yards from the new ZombieKiller Rifle. I
was plopped on a ground cloth and using the rifle's built-in sights.
Took a couple of shots first to sight in for elevation...there wasn't
any wind.

Tomorrow I'm going to try some shots with the new scope I just
attached. Once I get used to it, I should be able to put five between
the eyes of your typical zombie at 100 yards.

I have an old semi-auto 22 cal rifle with a 6x scope that I haven't
fired in 25 years or so.
I should get it out and do some practice myself.... just in case those
'zombies' make it across the border. ;-)


Whatever you do - don't clean the barrel! The first shot will do that
for you.

What an idiot! He thinks zombies are real.


I deal with you, the freak and a motley assortment of your fellow
irregulars everyday.
Why wouldn't I believe in 'merican zombies?

The zombies in N O ignored the warnings for Katrina.
Bill will be knocking on your door Sunday.
Will we be calling you a zombie on Monday morning?


You're going to be sorley disappointed when we ride out a good blow.
Maybe I'll get the Princecraft out for some wave surfing.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Unlike your BFF Harry, I do not

Bill Clinton was in front of that stampede. Did you watch the signing?
He was telling us this was the best thing since sliced bread.


of course he did. many of us bought the free market kool aid and

I never said that
I am saying you can't trust the democrats to save you either.

In fact it was the democrats who killed H.R.4161 in 2005 that would
have regulated Fannie/Freddie and would have tempered this housing
crisis. That was Dodd and Frank.


the GOP controlled congress in 2005. it was not until 2006 that the
democrats were a majority


The GOP did not have a filibuster proof senate.-


which, of course, is irrelevant to your point. the fact is the GOP
deregulated markets allowing CDO's to balloon to sixty two trillion
dollars.

anyone older than 5 years old would have known that was unsustainable.
but the free market fundamentalists in the GOP steam rollered the
political machinery to make regulation impossible.

All your posts are filled with homosexual references. Have you tried to

they manage to hide it. You do not. Your constant references to

At least you are being honest now. How do you think that would work
out? Is the government going buy them all or are you repealing the 5th
amendment too.


you use the daniel patrick moynahan *method. guns would be illegal.
you shut down gunsmiths, make the sale of ammo illegal, etc. over time
guns, being a mechanical object, would start to disappear as parts
became unavailable, no now guns entered the system, etc.


you destroy the gun culture along with the guns.


You would just drive the ammo market underground. That has been so
successful in the drug war hasn't it?


when people inject ammo into their veins you be sure and let me know.
when ammo becomes a psychoactive chemical, drop me a note.

In real life the people who use the most ammo are not the ones who
cause the problem.-


risk/benefit calculation. value of guns: zero

cost to society of their use: billions.

they should be banned.

People don't inject marijuana into their veins but a lot of people die

You only have to look at "prohibition" to see the problem with banning
anything.

I could say the same thing about golf, recreational boats or

Again, name me one thing that became unavailable because it was
banned? Just one.
All "banning" does is create a criminal enterprise to provide
something.


You're wrestling with a pig here.

You continue to ignore the fact that Clinton did that, in the same way
Bush did all the things we say he did. It happened on his watch and he
could have vetoed the bill. He did exactly the opposite and championed
it while it was flowing through congress with significant democratic
support.

I agree they all drank the Kool aid but "all" is the operative word.
To call this a GOP problem is not intellectually honest.
Bear in mind this was the same time that we were applauding Enron,
Worldcom, Adelphia and a host of other frauds as being "prosperity".
Greenspan was really the only one who was warning us that this might
just be an illusion but even he was half hearted about it.
It is very similar to the way we were relishing the housing market in
2006. I have to say, I knew enough to dump my home builder stocks the
day I heard Centex had stopped building "inventory" houses.
The signs were there. You just had to look.


And it was Rubin's, Clintons Sec of Treasury who pushed Glass-Steagall
dumping. Before he went to CitiBank and made it Citigroup. A pox on both
parties.

IOW you're agreeing with my point: the free market has failed. we gave
the rich EVERYTHING they asked for and what it resulted in was a
wholesale plunder of the middle class

thanks. i already knew that.

hey genius...guess who controlled congress when he signed the bill

the G....O.....P


I agree they all drank the Kool aid but "all" is the operative word.
To call this a GOP problem is not intellectually honest.


what's intellectually honest is to admit the free market has failed.
regulated, controlled markets, not free market capitalism, are the way
to ensure that this mess doesn't happen again.

that includes state sponsored health insurance
