As Richard said to Tommy Boy: "are you talking"?  Does anyone really listen to this guy?

did i catch a niner in there?

[arch stanton]

I don't care what photo you get posted. You cannot have my gun. 

[Jason]

Does anyone really need to know what a bullet does? I guess he wants the NRA to be on the same level he is at.

[Ordos]

Were you calling from a walkie-talkie?

[happybat4]

The article is just manipulating his words. Moore believes in gun rights and has been an NRA member for most of his life. He just believes there needs to be more gun restrictions. I still think Bowling for Columbine is one of the best documentaries on gun violence ever.

What I find particularly disturbing is how obsessed so many Americans are with their guns. I mean, really? Why do we need so many goddamn guns? Why do we need any? The 2nd Amendment was written in the 18th century just after the Revolutionary War - a very different context. The point of it was so American citizens could defend themselves in case of a tyrannical government, like the British Empire. This is a very unlikely scenario in today's world. WE DON'T NEED A MILITIA!

People who support the second amendment - well, let me rephrase that because I support the second amendment - the avid second amendment people, as in the "cold dead hands" type, seem to ignore the words "well regulated" in said amendment.  

[Count Orlok]

He's like one of those anti-abortion people who thinks he's making a point with pictures of abortions.

And then there's the rest of you who choose to ignore  "rights of the people" and "shall not be infringed". 

 

Can anyone anywhere tell me how taking the guns away from people who have not shot anyone makes you safer?

[HeavenlyHalos]

They aren't taking away guns, they are proposing to take away the sales of certain types of guns.

LOL.  Is that a real argument?

Uh oh, the Montana Militia has arrived.

Don't you think that "well-regulated" and "shall not be infringed" at least somewhat contradict each other?  And as I said, I support the second amendment.  I don't think it's going anywhere.  Have any of your guns been taken away?  

[mtangelsfan]

thanks for reminding me why I don't post here as much.

I think "shall not be infringed" trumps all and I'm always very suspicious of anyone who advocates bans or restrictions on peaceful, law abiding people.

Who is taking your precious guns away?

 

Jesus H. Christ, you gun nuts are paranoid these days.

Classy.  

 

We aren't banning alcohol, you just can't buy it anymore.  We aren't taking cigarettes away, they just can't make them anymore.  Great logic.

[tdawg87]

A gun doesn't disappear when you use it.

Nor does it last forever.  Nor is alcohol or cigarettes protected by the constitution.

What the f*ck are you talking about?

 

Stay on topic.

Moore and Penn are to the left what Morrissey is to vegans.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to Michael Moore. I haven't seen any of his movies or read anything in its entirety that he has written. From what I know of his viewpoints I share several of them, but some of the arguments he uses seem a bit skewed, which kills his credibility.

[HeavenlyHalos]

No, it's a factual statement.
