however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?
if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.
(1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.
Please, everyone, can we stop with the personal attacks and petty vendettas. My patience with some people is wearing very, very thin.
These are interesting topics and it's a shame to see people wanting to score point against Cofty personally because they can't score points on the arguments themselves constantly derailing them.
THANK YOU.
i knew i had a couple of firearms around the house, and one in the car.
however, i didn't realize i had seven, yes, seven of them, when i proceeded to count them.
the reason for that is that i haven't gone to the shooting range in years.
Just working on that fighter jet now hey WC
That's the problem with people that don't know guns.
The majority of WC's guns are .22LR...a glorified pellet rifle... Pellet rifles can kill, and so can .22LR's...but a .22LR would never be used as a military round or self defense round. It's main purpose is small game hunting (squirrel, rabbit, etc) and plinking.

Excuse me, can I stick my oar in here? Thanks that feels better now.
Just the tip.

I really enjoy my guns. (OMG a Bernie supporter that likes guns!? Yeah...don't you realize you don't have to agree on everything your candidate supports?)
I have a Savage Axis .270 with a 4-16x44 scope. I want to get into long range shooting, but the Axis doesn't lend itself well to that. It's really a solid hunting rifle, not a range rifle. When the barrel heats up a lot after about 40 rounds or so, the accuracy is thrown off a bit.
I used to own a couple of handguns, however decided I more badly wanted a Kayak to fish the bays with than handguns I only used a few times a year when I went to the range.
I ended up selling all my guns except my Savage. Doesn't mean I don't have a wish list a mile long!
loaded gun under her car seat was picked up off the floor and the kid shot her in the back...the day before on facebook she boasted about his shooting skills.
what is wrong with this picture?
The purpose was to establish a well-regulated militia, emphasis on well-regulated.
Really? Is "well-regulated" bolded or underlined on the document?

That's interesting. Usually the pro-gun lobby aren't approving of drug legalization.
Might be an inconsistency there.
How is that inconsistent? That's like saying a Mexican that doesn't like beans is being inconsistent.
Stop pigeonholing people.

@juandefiero glad to hear you say this but to be honest that's not at all how you acted with me a month or so ago. A bit of pot and kettle.
I'm pretty sure I've toned down my rhetoric since then. Keep on keepin on.

D4G: All of you pro-NRA/gun folks need a class or two in probability theory. Oh wait, you need to understand basic math first, never mind.
Do you want to change someone's point of view, or just insult them and be condescending? Don't you think that it is more effective to try to win someone over than to further divide the two sides?
Aggressive, divisive rhetoric like yours, Simon's and others is why the NRA still has the power they do.
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Sure would be nice if I could express my opinion on this thread and didn't have to walk on eggshells around here.
The only thing I guess I feel safe to say is: "What a horrible tragedy." Hopefully people can take some lessons away from this.
crowd looking like they're doing the heil hitler salute to trump when he asks for a pledge and swear their support while calling for broadening torture laws.
trump asks backers to swear their support, vows to broaden torture laws.

Found this bit of satire I read this evening amusing considering this thread:
If you're into self-dramatization, Donald Trump’s candidacy is perfect for you.
Half of the Washington political class is vowing to vote for Hillary -- even Stalin! -- over Trump; psychologists (and massage therapists) report they are treating patients for "Trump anxiety"; lengthy thought-pieces on Trump have no room to mention his signature issue, immigration, but get prolix on George Wallace, Mussolini and Hitler. (Never Mao, Stalin or Lenin, curiously.)
You're going to have to act quickly if you hope to be among the first 200 princesses to feel the pea under 15 layers of mattresses.
To save you time, I will provide the prototype. Do not be surprised if the following turns up, word for word, under the byline of David Brooks, Stephen Hayes, Cokie Roberts, every single writer for Salon, Gawker, National Review, Commentary and The Huffington Post. And then, of course, Fareed Zakaria will steal it.

"J'accuse Donald Trump”
Watching the candidacy of Donald Trump, I am continually struck by his resemblance to a man who came to power in a far-off land nearly 85 years ago, a historical epic that I had naively hoped was well buried in the past.
Consider the following:
-- Adolf Hitler held gigantic rallies, where he inspired millions with rousing speeches. Donald Trump holds gigantic rallies, where he inspires millions with rousing speeches.
-- Adolf Hitler talked about making his country great again. Donald Trump talks about making his country great again.
-- Adolf Hitler promised military victories. Donald Trump promises military victories.
-- Adolf Hitler had a loyal and overweight henchman, Hermann Goering. Donald Trump has a loyal and overweight henchman, Chris Christie.
-- Adolf Hitler blamed a specific group of immigrants for all the nation's problems (Ed: Jews weren't immigrants -- Close enough!). Donald Trump blames a specific group of immigrants for all the nation's problems.
-- Adolf Hitler vowed to build a wall (Ed: Wait a minute -- when did Hitler talk about a wall? Shhhh! Nevermind!) Donald Trump vows to build a wall.
-- Adolf Hitler was a teetotaler. Donald Trump is a teetotaler.
-- Adolf Hitler had a hobby that he enjoyed very much (painting). Donald Trump has a hobby that he enjoys very much (golf).
-- Adolf Hitler had an opulent home in the city as well as a country home, "The Berghof" in Berchtesgaden. Donald Trump has an opulent home in the city as well as a country home, "Mar-a-Lago" in Palm Beach.
-- Adolf Hitler was involved with a woman from Central Europe, Eva Braun. Donald Trump is married to a woman from Central Europe, Melania Knauss.
-- Adolf Hitler had a pact with the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1941; Donald Trump said nice things about Russian president Vladimir Putin.
-- Adolf Hitler required all non-Jewish, German civilians to greet one another with a rigid right-arm salute, while exclaiming "Heil!" or "Heil Hitler!" Donald Trump has asked audiences to promise to vote for him by raising their hands, which is the PRECISELY same thing.
-- Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian; Donald Trump has never smoked.
-- Adolf Hitler forcibly annexed Czechoslovakia. Donald Trump tried to merge two casinos in Atlantic City.
-- Adolf Hitler invested hundreds of millions of dollars on German aviation to upgrade the Luftwaffe. Donald Trump has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in private jets.
-- Adolf Hitler never had any children, but if he had, they would probably have been blond. Both of Donald Trump's daughters are blond.
-- Adolf Hitler's favorite food was liver dumplings, a dish very similar to meatloaf. (Ed.: They're not remotely similar. No one knows that.) Donald Trump's favorite food is meatloaf.
-- Adolf Hitler had light hair and a moustache. Donald Trump has light hair and a moustache. (This has not been definitively established, but some who knew Trump in the 1970s recall that he had a moustache, albeit a fuller, longer one.)
-- One of Adolf Hitler's idols was World War I fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as "the Red Baron." Donald Trump's son is named Barron. (It's spelled differently, but sounds the same.)
-- Adolf Hitler liked Eva Braun because she was very attractive; Donald Trump's wife, Melania, is very attractive.
-- Adolf Hitler vowed to exterminate entire races; Donald Trump has vowed to exterminate ALL Mexicans and Central Americans. (Mr. Trump has yet to call for this, but if he had, it would be an amazing parallel and speak very ill of his character.)
-- One of Adolf Hitler's favorite desserts, not his No. 1 favorite, but one he enjoyed several times a year, was chocolate ice cream. Donald Trump has talked about formerly liking Oreos. (Recently, he vowed never to eat Oreos again because Nabisco moved its factories to Mexico. This does not negate his previous position on the cookie.)
-- Adolf Hitler was known for erecting concentration camps – surrounded by walls to keep people out, particularly Mexicans. (Ed: That's not true.) Donald Trump wants to build a wall.
-- Allowing Adolf Hitler to come to power was a horrible mistake for an entire nation; allowing Donald Trump to come to power will be a horrible mistake for an entire nation.
In conclusion, [dramatic music plays] I have covered American politics for 30 years. For the first time in my life I am afraid for my country. Very afraid. Very, very afraid. Very, very, very afraid.
