Liberal Crap...but that's redundant.
And I'm not conservative either.
Don't blame me, I voted libertarian.

You'd have a lot in common with Rankin Fitch.

Deb,
I'm in favor of the government recognizing gay marriage and gays serving openly in the military.
I'm in favor of legalizing ALL drugs for adults.
I'm in favor of ending both Bush's and Obama's wars.
I'm in favor of pulling just about every troop we have overseas anywhere home.
I'm in favor of you being able to burn the flag in public.
Does that sound right-wing to you?
You can be right wing and be in favor of all of these positions.
sharei laugh at people who are supposedly libertarian while simultaniously being not conservative.
it's like being gay in denial.
I laugh at people, like you, who have no intelligence. Well, actually it was funny when those kind of people weren't in power. Now I cry that those people are running and destroying our country.

nice bit of substance-free rhetoric there....you should consider a career as an AM talk radio host. share
You're laughing at your own ignorance then - liberals have more in common with conservatives than libertarians do. Liberals and conservatives are both busy-bodies that want to use the government to force their beliefs and values on other people.
Libertarians want all of the freedoms of the constitution protected while liberals and conservatives each chose to ignore the ones they don't like.
that's exactly right. Libertarians are fiscally conservative but socially liberal - in other words, we want people to take responsibility for themselves, and we don't want anyone interfering in our lives as long as noone is getting hurt. No libertarian cares whether people are gay or straight, for example. But we do NOT want to fund other people's irresponsibility in defaulting on a house they never could afford, with the lame excuse of not having read the contract.
Liberals want to control everyone and every thing. Conservatives want to foist their religious beliefs on everyone.
I'm not really hungry, but I would like to have reservations somewhere.
liberals want to control your behavior. conservatives want to control your MIND.

And Libertarians simply want to control the government.
Crazy wackos*.

Oh my God, you people really need at least 1 more political party instead of having just 2. Then maybe you'd start being a little less absolute in your political tendencies. Many countries have more than just a left and right.

Liberal crap? Are you serious?
I thought this movie was an excellent essay on the fact that gunmakers should not be allowed to sell guns to private citizens. What if someone gets hurt? That would be really bad, wouldn't it? Duh.
Obviously, only the government should have guns. They have lots of training and uniforms and stuff. This system works fine in China and Sudan. Why not here?????
haha, I just spent about 10 mins writing a well thought out yet somewhat harsh reply to your post and just before I hit 'post' I suddenly realized that you were being sarcastic. I just found that humorous.
"Talking is overrated as a means of resolving disputes."
Most anit-gun fanatics live in large cities which offer shorter distances between crime scene and the local constabulatory. While this may give said urban residents the illusion of safety (after all, help is just a 911 away), the fact of the matter is that police arrive at 99.99% of crime scenes long after all the damage has been done. Hence, the "need" for average citizens to have the right to protect themselves. If even one member of the Columbine faculty had been armed and able to fight back there would have been the potential of saving lives. Anti-gunners also conveniently forget that half the country's population lives in rural areas and are usually one-half to a full hour away from any help arriving.

Works excellently in the Europe too. Obviously things can't be changed in the USA easily but surely Europe has much more lower crime rate, especially the fire-arm related homicides.

I'm sure all the Jews who lived in Poland in the early 40's were happy they didn't have guns.
"Atlas Shrugged- Part 2"- Coming in 2012! --The saga continues!
It isn't forties anymore + I guess the gun ownership control was way more relaxed back then also in the Europe.

The decade is irrelevant. A human being has a right to use tools to defend himself against oppression and aggression. I have yet to hear a good argument against that fact.
Boy, if this wasn't where I put my signature, I'd really let you have it!
Always gotta be some moron who makes a political comment. Why can't you stick to the movie.
shareI think he did stick to the movie. Holding gun manufacturers instead of criminals liable for gun violence is a liberal wet dream come true. The criminals are seen as the downtrodden, the victims of society while the manufacturers are seen as the evil capitalist who rakes in millions at the expense of others.

I think it did bring up a fair point. They sold anti-print guns which target criminals. I have no problem with a law being made that passes on some responsibility on to sellers and manufacturers. We do that with things that are not particularly dangerous with mortgages and alchohol.
I could see the temptation to exact justice in that court room but it should be done in the legislature, although i can't see it being that successful given the influence of money in politics, not without a huge public movement.
People in the movie talked about civic responsibility, how about some from the gun manufacturers. Not saying they should be super arduous but they and the sellers should be doing something to check out buyers, especially in that example in the movie.
So yes they bear a little responsibility whilst ultimately personal responsibility is where it should be.
I didn't agree with the amount of damages the plaintiffs got awarded but i thought it would have made sense to offer the plaintiff the 10mill that was going to be used to swing the jury and work out a deal (although in this case i think she might not have gone for it). share
Guns I love them and I got alot :)

Is this just a common association these days- that when someone mentions gun ownership the liberal's response is to put their manhood, penis size or virility into question? I seem to hear/read these kinds of remarks so often that I have to wonder if it's standard procedure these days. What does gun ownership have to do with penis size or virility?
And frankly, i find it a bit insulting to denigrate our police and military in this fashion.
