Obama was quick to call for gun control. How long will it take for him to say we were attacked by Isis. N/T

Rob, we weren't attacked by ISIS

The only thing that scares me is your attitude towards this. There's really no point in elaborating. n/t

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.

Why choose between "gun violence" and "Islamic terrorism"?

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.

12/4/2015 5:21:02 AM
Where did you get that number?

12/4/2015 5:31:08 AM
Here.

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.

In the meantime, you liberals keep flogging your dolphins blaming it on guns. n/t

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.

Huh. "Comfort zone." I just figured it out.

"the U.S. gun-related murder rate is almost 20 times that of the other 22."

I mindfully refused to name either party. I think it is stoopid to do so.

Its a BUSINESS, Bowz. Its a highly profitable and rapidly growing business.

I agree that's the largest part of it
