    More accurately, you mean to say that you don't appreciate people living here illegally, but depending on the circumstances you still can have compassion for them?

    Some may literally feel as strongly as your sentence implied. Just want to see clearly what your position is. Sorry if it seems obtuse of me.

    The public wants an entity or someone to blame. Since a well known government asset with three letters had interviewed him twice, then these particular agents will probably be sacked. The incident could have been prevented. Since 50 plus people died Congress finally needed a filibuster to make assault rifles banned from the public. There are still millions of these weapon types out there and the players know how to get whatever they need. The political reaction can address the common nut jobs who want to acquire assault weapons but those that already have stockpiles are considered a underlying fear factor.

    Yes. As per usual, I worded things poorly.

    I have compassion the illegal people in this country were shot
    I have zero compassion the illegal people in this country have no idea how to pay for the hospital I will now have to help pay for

    Denny, if you want to start a thread about Hillary Clinton (again) or the Clinton Foundation or Vince Foster or space aliens that's your privilege.
    Hillary Clinton did not murder 49 people in my community so take it fucking elsewhere. If you please.

    The first funerals were held yesterday. The lovely people at Westboro Baptist Church are picketing. Where these shitheads get the money to travel constantly spreading hate I don't know.

    In somewhat related news, the high court in Kenya has upheld forced anal exams (and HIV and hepatitis testing) of men suspected of being gay. Being gay is a crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

    The hacker group Anonymous has hacked into every site and social media account associated with ISIS that they could find. They took over the sites and filled them with rainbow flags, gay pride posters, and soft core gay porn. I think I just fell in love.

    Sorry, but if you're going to rant about congress and filibusters, she's fair game. Your rant is in part misdirected.

    All this bullshit about banning assault rifles because they think its going to prohibit terrorists from gaining weapons is fucking stupid. These people already do not abide by laws. The logic is fucking ridiculous.

    Actually makes me want to go buy one just to say fuck off to the establishment. I have no need for it, but at this point its the principal.

    “What we know is that in States that have imposed those reasonable limitations, there are less gun crimes. There are less homicides.”

    –Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), speaking on the Senate floor, June 15

    We removed suicides from the totals and reran the numbers – and in some cases, it made a huge difference. Half of the 10 states with the lowest gun-death rates turn out to be states with less-restrictive gun laws.

    Well I listened yesterday to the CIA director, I doesn't seem like Obama has. They sure tell two different versions of the same story.

    It is important enough that no opportunity should be squandered.

    These guns ruin one of my favorite Archie Bunker quotes. When told of the statistics of handgun deaths by Gloria, he said something like "would it make ya feel any better little girl if they was pushed outta windows?"

    THAT was a perfect comeback for the time. Not today. You'd be hard pressed to push 50 people out of windows at the rate you can kill people with an AR-15.

    I've always hate a rule change at work that happens because ONE person takes advantage of a situation, we all end up punished even though we weren't the problem. These mass shootings while rare in the grand scheme aren't rare enough.

    It might just be time to amend the constitution. It would be a disaster trying to round these guns up, plus they are cool as shit. I went to some gun show with a friend and there was some awesome stuff there.

    Curiouser and curiouser. It was just reported on CNN that the murderer texted his wife "do you see what's going on" while holding people hostage in bathroom and she texted back "I love you". Holy fuck.

    Ted Cruz has said that our community needs to be protected and that only Republicans will do so. Like Ted Cruz, who spoke on platforms alongside preachers calling for killing gays. Or his father who said marriage equality was a plot to destroy society. Or Pat Robertson who suggested gays and Muslims kill each other off. Or Donald Trump who vowed to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn marriage equality and allow businesses to refuse to serve gays. Or the Republican National Committee, who deleted all references to gays in their statement on the Orlando massacre.

    Like they say, with friends like these...

    Now define it again, but this time use the word "metamorphic" in the description, and use a total of exactly 15 words.

    The Pink Pistols is a national gun club for gays and lesbians. It saw its membership soar from about 1,500 members on Saturday to 3,500 on Monday.

    Dozens of new chapters are springing up, including one Smith is creating in Colorado Springs. He said it’s something he feels compelled to do, even though he’s heterosexual.

    “I look at it as a disenfranchised minority that needs someone who’s willing to say I’m a resource who’s here and willing to help,” he said.

    Another chapter also appears to be forming in the Denver area. The Pink Pistols typically meet on a regular basis at firing ranges to practice shooting.
