You see, they have created a situation where these atrocities are happening so frequently that they can always howl that its too soon after a massacre to be talking about gun control...

Its quite a clever strategy- what could possibly go wrong?

- Obama was quick to call for gun control. How long will it take for him to say we were attacked by Isis. N/T - RobVG - 12/5/2015 1:54:27 AM
  - Rob, we weren't attacked by ISIS - Robert - 12/5/2015 7:03:29 AM
    - The only thing that scares me is your attitude towards this. There's really no point in elaborating. n/t - RobVG - 12/5/2015 5:29:05 PM
      - Then you're an idiot and I refuse to elaborate further - Robert - 12/5/2015 6:30:10 PM

        So are you backing away from your assertion that it was "domestic terrorism"? n/t - RobVG - 12/5/2015 10:31:00 PM

        I commented to bowser that he was off topic by focusing attention on gun control instead of acknowledging we've suffered a terrorist attack- by Isis. - RobVG - 12/5/2015 4:28:02 AM

        of course it wouldn't work here. - bowser - 12/4/2015 6:41:32 AM
