Why are you more afraid of a few screwballs than the government?

Do you not comprehend that this country fought for independence because the people who immigrated here were fed up with a tyrannical government? You get y0ur panties in a wad because some nut bag shoots up a school and demand something be done. Your only ideas are easily proved to be nothing more than feel good but ineffective means to prevent anything.

People like this cruz asshat are walking the streets and posting their crap on the internet because they have rights. They have the right to say what they want to say and they have a right to appear odd. The only alternative is to throw the constitution away and give the government the almighty power to start arresting everyone who says something someone doesn't like or acts in a manner someone doesn't like. And who is this person who will get to decide what words or behaviours cross the line? Are you willing to let someone else decide what words you're not allowed to say or how you are allowed to act. Suppose you get someone in that position who has no sense of humour and you can't even act silly.

You should have learned by now that freedom comes with a price It isn't free, never has been, never will be. But the beauty of that freedom is that no one is holding you hostage here. You're free to go live somewhere else. somewhere where they don't have the right to own a gun. Somewhere where they don't have a right to speak their mind without fear of arrest because you offended someone with your big bad words. I won't bother moving out of the way because when the rubber meets the road I don't see any one of you leaving.

I'm baffled by the idea that inanimate objects are responsible for the actions of the people who wield them.

@puck61 well, if one of the drones on the left who allows others to pull their strings could articulate a thought maybe they'd tell you how that happens. But I wouldn't hold my breath Puck.
@katielass I knew the media and some politicians would exploit this before the body's got cold though.

@puck61 Oh yeah, very predictable. Same with the Oh how many of these are we going to tolerate before something is done drones. If those people were capable of thinking.....but they've been programmed not to think.
@katielass Have you quietly considered the political affiliation of the mass shooters in the last year? I have. I won't make it an issue of it though. Just a passing thought.

@puck61 Yes, it has not gone unnoticed by me. And I believe we can count Las Vegas in with the others. If it were anything else the media would be breaking their necks to get answers.
@katielass I'm sure you've seen the videos of the leftist violence that has erupted since Trump was elected. It completely eclipses the right. That is the thing that made turn away a long time ago. The complete and utter hypocrisy and double standard. The people screaming about fascism are the biggest fascists I've seen in my lifetime. It literally makes the hairs on my neck stand up when I see it, and hear it. They are the biggest litterers. They say the most horrible things, and they have the blood lust of wild dogs. They are everything they pretend to condemn. ....in spades! That is why I get so animated sometimes. Their behavior makes my skin crawl, and I am definitely not alone feeling this way!

@puck61 No, you are not alone. Many of us who are still thinking for ourselves see it. But we are the last of the thinkers. These brainwashed useful idiots don't know how to think, and that makes them very predictable. And very sickening.
@katielass It's pretty scary. I just hope there is an 'awakening' soon. This place will be North Korea in 50 years if the SJW's actually 'do' take the reigns.

@puck61 Well, they will because we are basically the only thing keeping them from taking over now. And it will be much worse than NK. Think about any country in the middle east only with less brain power.
