    Gotta love the other videos on that website:

    "Antichrist Illuminati Obama New World Order Agenda"

    "We Want America Back" (who is "we", and from whom?)

    "For My Christian Friends"

    Yes, I do have the 21. I was thinking about getting a 30 as well, but I thought it might be overkill....as it were.

    We only had the luger at the time of the robbery, now my wife has that in a bed safe, and I have the glock in one.

    We live in one of the safest neighborhoods in the country, but you never know when some idiot is gonna think your stuff should be his.

    lol. So are they really planning on barbecuing her?

    As a guy who's built a number of websites and thousands of ads over the past 15 years, I get it. I also get that its got a pretty blatant apocalyptic undertone to it. (Honestly, I was kind of surprised how amateurish the animation is. Low-res photo of her, bad line art of her lower body in the second image, flames don't really match anything. Looked like it'd be more at home in a 1999 geocities page.)

    I like how the GOP logo switches to different faces every time you hit refresh. Pretty cool effect. (Incidentally, I got 4 white women, one black woman, a black guy, and then a white guy. 10 more refreshes and I got another white guy. Yup, that's pretty much the GOP.)

    SCOTUS: DC Gun Law

    In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court today overturned a 32-year-old District of Columbia law limiting private gun ownership, for the first time expressly extending the Constitution's Second Amendment to private citizens.

    That ruling is also a split decision with respect to where the public stands on these issues.

    In a recent Washington Post poll, 72 percent of all Americans said they believe individuals have gun rights under the Second Amendment, that such protections are not limited to "militias." Twenty percent thought the constitutional guarantee covers "only the rights of the states to maintain militias."

    Many politicians, groups, and "lower courts for hire" have advocated "repealing" the 2nd Amendment by attempting to re-define it to mean government military members only.

    There are literally hundreds of well-organized groups proposing new restrictions on guns.

    Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of law-abiding citizens have already had their guns taken away, including every non-government employee who lives in Washington DC.

    1. Nearly as many Dems as Reps own guns and ALL who cherish America's "government of, by, and for the people" concept support the 2nd Amendment. Can't have either without the other.

    Only a tiny minority of gun owners take part in demonstrating, or joining support/lobbying groups, but a large majority would be willing to kill anyone who tries to take their guns away. I figure we're about 10-15 years away from the day citizens start defending their homes and families from government-conducted home invasions designed to dis-arm the populace.

    2. Gun rights have little to do with mandating small government and nothing at all to do with outlawing abortion.

    3. Many Dems agree with the Reps that Pelosi is indeed Satan's Mistress and would love to see her go away permanently. She represents to me everything wrong with the Democratic Party. I voted for Obama for President, not Pelosi. She never got the memo.

    First time in my life I've seen 72% pro/20% anti referred to as a split decision. :crazy:

    Overwhelming majority seems a more accurate phrase.

    The very same folks who brought you this anti-American "law" immediately cranked out this racist substitute for citizen control before the ink had even dried on the SCOTUS ruling:

    The most controversial new program designed to deter crime is a system of police checkpoints in neighborhoods particularly affected by violence. The checkpoints, introduced in June 2008, have only been used thus far in the Trinidad neighborhood of Northeast Washington. The program operates by stopping cars entering a police-designated area; officers then turn away those individuals who do not live or have business in the neighborhood. Despite protests by residents, the MPD claims the checkpoints to be a successful tool in preventing violent crime.[21] In October 2008, a federal court judge found that the checkpoints do not violate residents' constitutional rights and refused to order a stop to the program.

    I'll give you this one, since it's open to interpretation

    I just did a quick google search and couldn't find any bills being proposed to restrict guns. Maybe you know of one?

    I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Denny's post contradicts it.

    Not the first time a 5-4 supreme court decision has been called a "split decision."

    A fair post. Also, #3 is funny.

    While I'm a gun rights person, I fail to see the need for people to own semi automatic weapons and others with virtual arsenals.

    I'm in the same boat.

    I also don't get the "open carry" guys who get off on taking their firearms into restaurants and creeping people out. I mean, my dad carries a pistol sidearm when he goes out on hikes (pop at the odd rattlesnake or whatever). But to a Dairy Queen? WTF?

    I may have a constitutional right to anal masturbation, but that doesn't mean I have to stuff a 12 inch lubed purple dildo in my back pocket before heading out to Starbucks.

    The whole idea seems counter-productive. You don't get undecided people to sympathize with gun rights by going into crowded public places with firearms. It just pisses them off/scares them.

    Although to clarify: semi-automatic shotguns are incredibly commonplace and really aren't any more of a threat than pump shotguns. I don't have a problem with semi-automatic .22's either (I own one). Those things are fun as hell to shoot, but aren't exactly the weapon of choice for anybody looking to go on a rampage.

    Higher caliber semi-auto rifles I just don't get. I've shot them and they are kind of fun, but that small payoff isn't really worth the societal risk in my mind.

    I just spent 20 minutes pouring over the U.S.S. Constitution and I couldn't find this referenced anywhere. Could you provide a link?:ghoti:
