Wayne LaPierre looks like Alan Colmes' older brother

[Stinky The Clown]

He is an obscene man.

"All good people now have the right to protect themselves from the bad people."

[slackmaster]

1. Good people protecting themselves against bad people is a bad thing?

:shrug:

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Who defines 'bad'?

[slackmaster]

5. YOU do, subject to verification by the criminal justice system

:hi:

One rule taught in firearms self-defense classes is that if you have any doubt about whether you are in a shoot or a no-shoot situation, you don't shoot.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. So lemme get that straight .......

.... I shoot and kill you.

The police come and investigate.

They take it to a prosecutor.

He decides I am right or wrong. We both know the Either/Or that follows.

So I get away with it or not depending on a third party making a decision on my actions.

In the meantime, you're still dead.

Is that about it?

[slackmaster]

9. If I was attacking you, threatening you with death or bodily injury

Then you should get away with it.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. "Get outta here before I kick your ass" ............. then ...........

Pretty extreme for a pretty mild threat, no?

Where's the line?

[Kool Kitty]

3. What if I've had a really bad night and I wake up

nasty. I don't like the way you look. I think you are scary. I think you are one of the bad people and shoot you. Is this all right? Who gets to decide which are the good or bad people?

[slackmaster]

6. If you have days that bad, you probably shouldn't have a gun

I respect your right to not have one.

[Stinky The Clown]

Yeah .... but Nino and the gang said he **could** have a gun

Isn't this fun?

[slackmaster]

13. You're citing a parody of a fictional TV series to support your position?

I'll stick with reality, thank you.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. What? The actual point is lost on you?

You're not that stupid. I know it. You know it.

[slackmaster]

15. The actual point, as I see it, is that DC had laws that prohibited good people from owning handguns

And keeping them in their own homes for any lawful purpose.

That restriction has been struck down as unconstitutional.

It doesn't make any difference to criminals (other than a very slightly increased risk of getting shot during a break-in).

I'm still at work and don't have the luxury of joining you in watching TV at the moment. Keep us posted.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. I have the luxury of a teevee in my office at work

[slackmaster]

21. Crap, now I'm envious

The best I can do is surf the Web when I am goofing off. I am expected to be at a pooter all the time, but no streaming video.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. I don't have a gun in here, though

:hi:

(sorry, I just couldn't resist)

[slackmaster]

26. I don't have one either - against company policy

Someone got fired from here once upon a time for keeping a handgun in his desk drawer.

I do keep a round of World War II vintage .30-'06 ammo on my desk as a toy.

[Kool Kitty]

16. Yes, but now I can have one.

(My days and nights are just fine, by the way.) I'm not anti-gun, I just worry that there are too many guns in the hands of some scary folks.

[slackmaster]

18. Scary folks have rights too

People who have proved that they are untrustworthy, e.g. convicted felons, are still prohibited from owning guns of any kind.

[Kool Kitty]

23. I'm so glad this right was upheld.

Now how do we get our right to privacy back? That's the really important one.

[spanone]

4. wayne lapierre good people??? pffft

[Junkdrawer]

7. That's St. LaPierre to you, pal....

And if you don't refer to him as such, you can kiss any chance of regaining the White House goodbye.

What are you thinking?

[spanone]

10. if he's a saint i'm the pope

[Junkdrawer]

11. Look, we HAVE to give the NRA everything it wants...

then, maybe, they won't hate us.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Best comment in the thread

:applause:

[spanone]

20. then maybe they won't shoot us....

[Mojambo]

22. I do find it amusing that all the good ol 'Murikan gun boys are led by a Frenchie sounding guy. n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Ha

I wonder if he ever bought into the Freedom Fries mania?

[spanone]

27. you know he did. he probably hates himself
