It's the Leftys who live in big cities that go around shooting each other. You know...gangs, illegals, drug dealers, ...

Jared Lee Loughner, Omar Thornton and Seung-Hui Cho, for example? In case those names are unfamiliar, they are, respectively: the Tucscon/Giffords shooter, the Hartford Distributors shooter and the Virginia Tech shooter. Oh, care to guess what all three had in common other than the fact that they murdered a number of people with a handgun? Each had a documented history of mental health issues yet each one easily and legally purchased a handgun. Yep, by God it's those lefties out there again and God (whoever that is) forbid we do something about their ability to get their hands on the instrument of death.
And to be clear, I'm nobody's lefty.

He's the same God as ours, DJ (to the extent that one even exists at all).

No guns - no army - salute the British crown
When Revere shouted 'The British are coming!' you know what they were coming for?

With all due respect, Pete, the last time I checked my calendar it was 2012 not 1776.

Not sure about the others but in Loughner's case the State was delinquent in updating the database so when the store checked the database they found nothing amiss. Since we cannot count on people doing their job a total ban seems more usefol. As for the second everyone seems to omit the qualifying clause.

Assume you mean the Second Amendment? Where they mention that troublesome phrase 'well-regulated militia'? That one? The one that the majority of the Supremes so conveniently danced around? That?

Seems to me this type of set up would not have been put together by a kind and benevolent God.
If there is a God he is more likely to be one that values pain and suffering and I have no intention of worshiping a God like that if nothing is immediately compelling me to.

First, I never said that I believed in RELIGION !
Second, God is not going out ordering his followers to do these acts of violence, his supposed surrogates do, supposed ! God seems to me to be doing a fine job as I see it. He watches us decide what is correct behavior and incorrect behavior, and waits to see which path we choose to take. Some call it Free Will, others, Personal Choices ? So who is really to blame.
Third, He still has a few openings, and HE believes in YOU !

Which explains your grotesque narcissism with worship of idols that launch .230 grain FMJ at 950 fps.
Were you a twenty year E-4?
I'm betting yes.

Butch, the militia consisted of every single able bodied man. As a matter of fact with the health care thing lately the left has brought up that Congress then required every man to have a gun and ammo among other things.
