Here is a 50 yarder on the money... [Hidden Content]

How can one be a centrist when their entire debate/argument is with all the conservatives on this board? The fact is that you should be considered a lefty, which I have no problem with, just don't see the center. Throwing out the phrase "both sides are guilty" every now and then does not a centrist make. You started out well, but when we go to rehashing Zimmerman, Michael Brown, gun control, and I see your stance, it is way off center. Sorry, just my take.

What the educated gun owners are saying is that these murders could not have been prevented if assault rifles were banned. The educated already know the mass murders and the guns used.

I mentioned your comparison of the AR to a semi-auto handgun in an earlier post. It was where I said Dylann Roof used a .45 ACP.

You missed me with the Bin Laden comment. I agree that heroin is making a huge comeback but I believe that the gangs deal crack more than the others. I have no stats to back that up. Not sure there are any.

Back on gun control....it is painfully obvious that gun bans do nothing to deter gun violence. Since Chicago seems to be the best to substantiate this fact and most of the murders are committed by the gang bangers protecting their drug distribution, why isn't there more of a concerted effort against the drug lords? We never hear of any huge drug busts there. Crack cocaine is the scourge of the nation, not guns.

Thank you. It is not a gun problem, it is a societal problem. Elliot Ness was said to have let the herds be thinned. Chicago has always been the gangster capital of the world.

I am still a Romo fan. He looked very sharp today. Do you think he would have the Cowboys at 13-3? I don't.

How about no guns for Chicago? Oh wait, it's already that way. To me, this is the most substantive proof that banning guns does absolutely nothing to curb crime or gun violence. [Hidden Content]

Sanchez is terrible. Weeden and Cassell were better than him. Philly beat a bunch of subs. I guess that can make you happy simply because it was the Cowboys and that's the way it will go down in history. Cowboys....#1 seed in the NFC with a 13-3 record. What an improvement over 4-12. Now I have to go two weeks without getting to see them play. Oh well, such is the price of success.

Dylann Roof used a Glock .45. Also, allowing guns to start being banned could create a "domino effect"...."a foot in the door scenario"....."give them an inch and they will take a mile". This is the bigger fear. tvc had a post a while back about the conceal-ability of a handgun vs. the dreaded AR. It made perfect sense as to mobility, reaload frequency, extra magazine capability. Why lug around an AR when a semi-auto handgun makes more sense? Gun ownership is an expression of freedom as it is guaranteed by the 2nd amendment. There is more to citizens owning guns that simply hunting or home protection.

I see your point and agree. I also think it has a lot to do with military experience since birth. Jews have been persecuted since recorded history began. Thay know a little bit about fighting. They are also not eaten up with the PC attitude. They will live peacfully with their neighbors, but aren't afraid to offend them.

I don't love the Russians. They have the right to have diplomats in our country just as we in theirs. Just pointing out the irony of Obama's deportation reasoning, especially in a "sanctuary" city.

I think Obama's timing is impeccable.

I think the U.S. should tell the U.N. that they need to find another country in which to have their Global Government meetings.

Man, my feeble mind will have a problem keeping up with the likes of you, Englebert, TVC, Nash, Reb, and more. As Englebert stated, it is refreshing to hear someone explain the lefty views without posting an article from Huffington. I'll leave it at that for now. Welcome to Texas. You must have arrived sometime right after Rita. It was a mess too. At the risk of sounding prejudiced, which I am about this state, there is no better place to live.

Sure I did! Still gave up 17. I know......turnovers. Bama too solid.

Bama just too solid in all phases. I haven't seen anything that tells me why Washington is there.

From the article... The utter contempt with which privileged Eastern liberals such as myself discuss red-state, gun-country, working-class America as ridiculous and morons and rubes is largely responsible for the upswell of rage and contempt and desire to pull down the temple that we’re seeing now. I’ve spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America. There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by, and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn, and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good. Nothing nauseates me more than preaching to the converted. The self-congratulatory tone of the privileged left—just repeating and repeating and repeating the outrages of the opposition—this does not win hearts and minds. It doesn’t change anyone’s opinions. It only solidifies them, and makes things worse for all of us. We should be breaking bread with each other, and finding common ground whenever possible. I fear that is not at all what we’ve done.

That's my way of thinking. Heck, let me do it.

Isn't it a conflict of interest to expel Russian diplomats from San Francisco....a sanctuary city, yet allow illegal aliens asylum from deportation....even when they may be criminal? Obama is a two-faced S.O.B.

Good story. Making a shot go in that bucket is like shooting at the hoops at a carnival.

Ags deserve the flack, and I will give them an ear full as soon as I drink the Kansas loss away. Big XII, Big XII, Big XII....lol

Lmao. This is what the left peruses and considers newsworthy? You really have your ducks in a row.
