Bad time to talk about restricting guns. Really bad. (n/t) - bowser - 12/3/2015 4:52:34 AM
- Bowser, it's "too soon"... - RL - 12/6/2015 6:08:06 AM
- 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
        
        Just what do you think Isis "is"? n/t - RobVG - 12/5/2015 7:53:11 PM
        
        A wannabe "Caliphate" - Robert - 12/5/2015 9:13:17 PM
        
        So are you backing away from your assertion that it was "domestic terrorism"? n/t - RobVG - 12/5/2015 10:31:00 PM
        
        No Indication San Bernardino Attackers Were Part Of Larger Terror Group - RL - 12/6/2015 6:04:28 AM

        Look where you just arrived. You sure you want to be there? - TB - 12/6/2015 8:00:41 PM
        
        Where did I arrive, Tom? - Robert - 12/7/2015 12:01:45 AM
        
        They just want to hate with a clear conscience. - ER - 12/7/2015 12:17:01 AM
        
        Not sure that's where Tom thinks I ended up - Robert - 12/7/2015 1:14:26 AM

        No, I'm highlighting the ambiguity - Robert - 12/6/2015 12:28:23 AM
        
        So what if it IS ISIS Terrorism? - ER - 12/6/2015 12:17:07 AM
        
        No. It's not Rob. - TB - 12/5/2015 7:39:46 PM
  - Why does that matter more to you... - RL - 12/5/2015 2:35:22 AM
    - same comment to you as I made to browser - RobVG - 12/5/2015 3:08:02 AM
      - You mean impotent rage? - RL - 12/5/2015 4:06:26 AM
        
        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
- Why choose between "gun violence" and "Islamic terrorism"? - Robert - 12/4/2015 7:50:47 PM
  - The RWA mentality needs to fear and loathe somebody; - ER - 12/4/2015 8:47:24 PM
- Yemen has less than half the rate of gun violence as does the US. There has to be a way to work together to lessen it. - bowser - 12/4/2015 5:21:02 AM
  - Where did you get that number? - TB - 12/4/2015 5:31:08 AM
    - Here. - bowser - 12/4/2015 5:39:57 AM
      - Ah. That's for gun ownership. - TB - 12/4/2015 5:52:35 AM
        
        of course it wouldn't work here. - bowser - 12/4/2015 6:41:32 AM
- It was radical fucking Islamic terrorism. I so "wanted to see that". You ass...I - RobVG - 12/4/2015 2:14:25 AM

      - In the meantime, you liberals keep flogging your dolphins blaming it on guns. n/t - RobVG - 12/4/2015 4:03:14 AM
        
        Another outburst like that... - ER - 12/4/2015 4:20:27 AM

    - Another outburst like that and... - ER - 12/4/2015 4:21:56 AM
- Conservatives would rather see recent events as "Islamic Terror" rather than "Gun Violence." - ER - 12/3/2015 10:51:48 PM
  - And liberals would much rather this be about guns than the shooters. - TB - 12/4/2015 4:46:00 AM
    - Liberals hate guns more than they hate Muslims. Yes, it really is that simple. - ER - 12/4/2015 1:48:40 PM
      - Well there you have it. - Jody - 12/4/2015 3:02:25 PM

        Everything has always seemed to be going into the crapper. - ER - 12/3/2015 6:34:00 PM
        
        I mindfully refused to name either party. I think it is stoopid to do so. - Jody - 12/3/2015 8:01:40 PM
        
        It's stupid not to, Jody. - bowser - 12/4/2015 6:44:39 AM
