It's a good thing you're not the arbiter of who is and is not a Democrat. Abq_Sarah Dec 2016 #15
I couldn't have said it better discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #17
If you can't rebut this info., you're saying that you have to be a moron to be a Democrat. pablo_marmol Jan 2017 #34

Well.... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #19
I was trying to put myself in their shoes, yagotme Jan 2017 #20
You were more amusing than they would likely be. discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #21
Thanks! yagotme Jan 2017 #22
Not nearly enough zipplewrath Jan 2017 #26
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #28
Sorta zipplewrath Jan 2017 #44
The problem is that most "gun-control" laws... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #45
They can work zipplewrath Jan 2017 #46
Actually, gun controls laws don't work gejohnston Jan 2017 #47
Oh, yeah, they do zipplewrath Jan 2017 #48
not on the level that we do gejohnston Jan 2017 #60
Not exactly zipplewrath Jan 2017 #63
no it can't gejohnston Jan 2017 #67
"control" discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #49
Yes zipplewrath Jan 2017 #50
One point at a time discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #53
You left out the last line zipplewrath Jan 2017 #54
I think this cultural change will never happen discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #59
Just about everybody zipplewrath Jan 2017 #62
We, as a country, are far too quick to engage in war discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #64

What they really need to get off the street are semi auto pistols Warpy Jan 2017 #27
With the exception of single action revolvers... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2017 #29
I own one wheel gun. All the rest are semi-auto. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #30
I believe the point is, yagotme Jan 2017 #37
That's true, but the semi-auto is more efficient at that process making it more effective, SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #38
Mechanically, yes, yagotme Jan 2017 #39
I suppose, in the very strictest sense, it could be considered a semi-auto. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #40
Some that want to ban/restrict firearms here, yagotme Jan 2017 #41
some semi autos do, gejohnston Jan 2017 #42
Yes. A good example of that would be the Diamond Back DB9. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #43
My general definition of a semi-auto is a weapon that automatically loads the next round. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #72
Your definition, and mine, agree. yagotme Jan 2017 #73
And yet revolvers kill ten or twenty times as many people annually benEzra Jan 2017 #70
A revolver, by its very nature, is more accurate. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #71
The "no surprise" part is, yagotme Jan 2017 #75
Look up the Diamondback DB9 (9mm) and tell what's not very concealable about it. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #76
I believe you've misread my reply. yagotme Jan 2017 #77
Completely agree. I think we are both on the same page. SlimJimmy Jan 2017 #78
Would have to handle it, yagotme Jan 2017 #80
