The seating was basicly land-owners, clergy, and nobles on the right with merchants, workers, and others on the left.

just to make sure we should create a public registry that details everything about it... because guns are often used as compensatory props for tiny dick syndrome

Men are the problem.

Their fathers did an awful job of man training.
Men + guns is off the charts bad.

Oct 3, 2017 - No, Gloria Steinem Did Not Say That Quote About Abortion and Gun Control ... a quote comparing access to guns and access to abortion has been making the rounds online.

women are stupid little children who must be told what to do by republicans. Men can do whatever they want with anything they want. especially if women disagree with them.

Absolutely should be this way. Unfortunately, most of the laws today are made by macho men. A different set of rules for guys than for gals. I pray this changes before more lives are lost.

Exactly. If only our guns were controlled as much as our vaginas. I mean, if you kill or enslave in prisons all the vaginas, you might have difficulty procuring sex. OH NO, stop, backup, “literally.”

and organization(s) to actually carry this out. Write legislation and lobby lawmakers in all states to enact many of these things. Organize protesters in front of gun shows and gun stores. Copy the tactics of the so-called right to life movement.
