Would it be true to suggest that most NRA-ers believe that gun violence is NOT a problem? At least not a big enough problem for society to do anything about? If so, OK...but then I wish they'd just say that.

In other words like yourself for saying such a thing. Personally I take comments like that a little more serious than others, been married to my wife who although is not MR, since early childhood she's been wheelchair bound diagnosed with CP (cerebral palsy) normally wouldn't say anything just, but not today.

The NRA formula is to beat high school alcoholism by providing free beer.

Where the hell were they in the ‘70’s?

When I was growing up, the drinking age was 21. Yet I can tell you that on any given weekend, at least a quarter of my high school class was out getting hammered.

And this was well before the "brew your own" fad.

So...uh...the opposite response didn't work either.

Next suggestion?

Victor is an ass.


He's our ass and he's like genital warts he never goes away so we just learn to scratch him when he flares up.

Hell you can find a thread in which I specifically state that the cost of all this whining/handwringing/lawwriting/soulsearching is WAAAYYYY more than the value of the handful kids lives.

Americans are idiots sometimes. When it comes to BIG SPLASHY EVENTS!!! we lose all sense of scale.

We do it with random mass murders (total deaths due to mass murders isn't even worth thinking about on a large scale)
We do it with acts of terrorism (total deaths from 9/11 in no way match the amount of money spent on trying to avoid it happening again).

But because they're so exciting and splashy, we can't help getting wound up, we sacrifice everything to try to avoid having it happen again... blah blah blah....

And this would be your proof of theorem?

Why do you keep putting the word gun in front of the word violence...?

Wait – are you against the NRA or teen drinking?
Because if you are against the NRA drinking you really have a long row to hoe . . . .

I'd say "your average american is an idiot" ... but I'm sure pottsie would want me to divide the average by the population....
