Obama who? thought he was killed in Pakistan? all these dang terrorists are getting me confused.

Lol

Funny how libs always find loop holes in our constitution to "protect our children"

Definitely sounds like he is trying to take our guns away!!

The very idea that any president could simply ban guns is ridiculous, and people need to sit the fluff down and listen for once. Obama can't just take your damn guns, even if he wanted to. Settle down!

Execute Executive Order 66

what are we supposed to be listening to?
people telling us that they're going to punish the majority of Americans because their socialist agenda is driving a minority of the population stark raving mad? maybe they should quit bossing people around and restore freedom to the US.

Facts don't lie, bad people can get anything via blk market, banning the rest of us from getting high power weapons only strengthens the bad guy(s)

YOU CANNOT DISPUTE THAT ^

How does it strengthen the bad guys? Because it means you can't accidentally shoot someone who 'invades' your home? Because your children can't find your gun and kill themselves? Because you can't continue to be irresponsible about what it means to own a gun?

K, bad guys win, you're right.

Hahahaha gun safe telleron

your emotional hypothetical arguments need some more work tellarion. they just don't pluck my heart strings with enough force. or maybe I've just developed a callousness because so many people have been using the same old lines to justify their oppression of other people's rights.

Soooo, in your logic (tellerion) you are in favor of defending yourself with a 6 round pistol vs an AK-47 is what you are saying? LOL, wow, WOW!

???? by his logic he's in favor of you giving away your weapon because you're retarded and are much more likely to hurt someone you're not supposed to hurt than to use your gun for a legitimately useful self-defensive purpose (funny sentence, that)

suck it you gun toting, bible thumping, republicans :)

can't. the pot smoking face-eating liberal democrat zomies are in the way. :-P not sure if they'll even leave me something to suck on once they get the munchies.

you want my guns? come get them.

let's think of the children, shall we?

I am a Republican and have no problem with these executive orders nor the proposed assault weapons ban/high capacity magazine ban.

do you OWN any of the weapons that are being banned? if not then the legislation does not effect you. it might be a little different if you did, and the government is basically telling you you arnt responsible enough to own them anymore. i rake offense to that.

was the government that trained me on how they should be operated properly. pretty sure that they felt that some people in this world just might need to be shot. course, it could just be a government conspiracy... don't think i was wearing my tinfoil hat at the time. would've been disciplined for being out of uniform. you get tired of scrubbing the bathroom with a toothbrush after doing it a few times.

Sure you can. It works fine elsewhere. You also have to keep in mind that not every "bad" person knows where to get the guns you speak of. But hey... YOU CANT DISPUTE MY OPINION.

people that keep saying it works fine in other countries are funny. no country on the planet has had gun proliferation that the U has. you can not compare other countries with the US. this is new territory and banning weapons here will not go the same as it did in say, Australia. i doubt Australia had 220 MILLION guns.

By the same token, locket, takes 1 bad guy to open fire on an innocent crowd, how about personal responsibility rather than mass ban?, CAN'T DISPUTE THAT EITHER!

Then again the left has been at war with our 2nd amendment rights for decades now!

you know what i hate more than the people that want my guns?

people that talk about left vs right, dem vs rep. this is america, and it would be better if people like you got the fluff out so we could all work together to find a rational solution to everything.

kicking people out being the rational solution to the left/right quarrels?

That's laughable, libs don't "work together" with anyone with an opposing ideal, you should know by now...

i didnt say kicking out, i said "got the fluff out"

reading comprehension is key when wishing to attack someones post. try it some time.

when did locket learn how to troll? probably just a talent he was born with. remember to avoid direct exposure to the sun. and don't let them keep you yapping until dawn.

have to remember that we used to handle it with assassination. kicking them out is a step up.

as Spock touched McCoy and uttered the word "Remember". if you're actually worried about assault weapons being the thing that damages the children, then you're probably raving pot smoking face-eating zombies who really do need to be shot.

i wasn't even close to attacking, ford. now who struggles with their reading comprehension? oh but you're an engineer, so all is forgiven. (this being the second of the two jokes)

dibs: i always enjoy a quality assasination- wet work will set you free, was it?

Why is stating an opinion trolling these days?

Also you guys could just send all the people who wont get along to Australia... it worked once didn't it? :P

i have a bigger fluff than you, and you are an idiot. i cant hear you over the sound of how awesome i am.

death is the only thing that will set you free from your mortal existence.

you might be a bigger fluff than i am, but that's about it.

idiot? yea, i'll own that. but everybody else needs to realize they too are idiots.

you are pretty fluffing awesome, though.

anytime a non american gives their opinion on guns its trolling. mostly because you guys have no clue.

until i do actually die, i'm not entirely convinced on the "mortal" part

if i can't dispute your opinion, then all you are doing is trolling.

+1000

i have a movie about Australia that stars Thomas Magnum, err, Selleck. some fiction about a land owner hiring a long range marksman to shoot the aboriginals before they could get within cursing distance. leaves the question of how much of Australia would still be aboriginal if y'all didn't go out shooting them with guns. well, least ya didn't use assault rifles and massacre them.

"Quigley Down Under"? probably just a work of fiction, should i go look up and see what they say about how the outback was won by a bunch of exiled English criminals?

A lot of sheriff's aren't going to enforce those laws, or executive orders and the federal government will have to learn that the power actually belongs to the people.

This is going to be very interesting. I think that our potential future overlords have hit a snag in their quest to disarm the population.

That part of the post was simply in reply to the guy I replied to ;) I fully realize there are different opinions out there and I don't even mind the ones that are articulate and provide something that I can at least see some logic in.

That is a good point. But they aren't taking existing guns (which I would of course strongly oppose), just banning the purchase of more.

ok. i acknowledge that you were only trolling one person on this thread.

no. they would be banning the future sale of weapons to people who would've been able to legally purchase them. there is no legitimate reason for the weapons to be banned without a complete disarmament of the US military and Police force. otherwise the nation just plain ain't safe enough to walk around without an armed guard.

just out of curiosity.... why do the police need guns at all if they'll be arriving to the crime scene two minutes too late?

Mind you Obamas children are guarded by 11 armed guards and the CIA. Guns are ok to protect him and his family but not yours.

Also, "Most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight," said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

I agree, which is why I am irritated that children where used at the press conference.

it's pretty simple to me. Osama tells me that i can't trust anybody with assault weapons, so i should just shoot everybody to be on the safe side. unfortunately, i wasn't born a dumb ignorant elitist asshole. y'all get to live another day.

You will all end just killing yourselves.. not exactly the worst thing to happen to the world.

let's just ban Obama instead.
