I have both democratic views and republican. I am what you would call a fence sitter.

 

And no I do not support Obama, or the Obamacare or Obama administration.

 

I support my right to have my 2 AR-15s. I will willing give up (if asked) my ARs when Obama or any other president rids their children's body guards of having concealed full auto SMGs in a HIGHSCHOOL.

 

I support a flat 15-17% tax and ridding the US of the IRS. That way EVERYONE pays taxes, regardless of wealth, race or gender. I also believe the US should cut off funding to war torn nations and focus that money more into domestic issues. 

 

Welfare - either get rid of it or enforce mandatory drug screening. I shouldn't have to pay for 40's, gold teeth, chrome bumpers, drugs or tattoos just because some people "can't find a job"

 

Disband the "law" that allows children of senate and representatives to have college essentially for free.

 

Make gay marriage legal. If they want to be together and have the same fights/rights as straight marriage, let em. 

 

Remove forces from that sandy hell of the middle east. Let them destroy each other. We have enough oil reserves to survive until they finish their "holy fight" and a single collective of people are left.

 

Strike first and napalm N. Korea. That way we wont have to worry about them NUKING 2 of the largest economies in the world in their "blaze of glory" way out. Japan has been through that already, not that great of a thing to survive.

 

 Lastly. deportation of illegals isnt enough. Deport, revoke citizenship of the employers that hire said illegals back to their country with their employees.

 

Holy shit.You must be related to me in some way. I disagree with your stance on the death penalty and abortion though. I'm not religious, but I still think it's murder. And you have things like the morning after pill and birth control. But, I have to agree with you on one thing. If a woman is irresponsible enough to get pregnant when she doesn't want a child, she's clearly not responsible enough to be a mother. And also, I don't think it should be "woman's choice". I think the man should also get a say in whether they have a kid. It's her body, but their child. And I disagree with you on the death penalty. If they're proven, then lock 'em up forever. None of that "Minimum 20 Years" crap. I'd much rather die than be locked up forever.

Give this man a medal. He understands the second amendment, and the reasoning behind it.

He completely forgot: people will always have guns, even if it's banned by law. Why not arm the good people, too? Take, for example, James Holmes. As far as I know, his guns were legal. And I'm SURE that he wouldn't go out and buy an illegal weapon, because THAT'S BREAKING THE LAW, and he's shown that he's clearly a law abiding citizen that would NEVER do ANYTHING to break the law.

Very true. The bad guys will always have guns. If you ban guns, you will only disarm the law-abiding citizens. Some people just don't understand this. Take a look at this video: 

 

The guy gives a great speech on why gun control is not the right option. Still not sure how to embed videos...

Death penalty: All for it. Scientifically proven rapists and child molesters: slowly tortured to death castration and cauterization included. No mercy for those fucks. Murderers: killed the same way as they killed. Eye for an eye.

 

This is pretty much what I've always believed.

Yep, time to institute it into law.

 

If you kill someone (not in self-defense)-->You're killed.

If you rape someone-->You get castrated.

If you steal something-->You lose your arms.

 

Or just pull a communist approach, you break the law (no matter what law)-->you get sent off to some work camp in upper-fuckitscoldistan.

But if guns are banned then all crime will disappear. (I actually love this fucking argument....do people just forget that most drugs are illegal, stealing is illegal, killing is illegal...)

 

As for welfare, i say take a more socialist approach...you want to be on welfare? then you do whatever job the governement needs done... (The only issue is this leads to the rise of the socialist party, but mehhh we're heading there anyway).

 

Guns don't need to be banned.  We should, however, require that guns like the ar-15 be in a locker at your local indoor range.  In adition to that we should also limit magazine sizes, ban silencer sales and other miliary grade equiptment.

How long before someone figures this out and takes down a bunch of people in a crowded shopping area at night.  Hard to even know whats going on or where to hide.

Statistically, if u die by being shot it is more likely that it will be your own gun and not another.  Just sayin

Link to this statistic? I don't doubt it. But I don't think it's a very valid argument. Are you talking about suicide? Domestic violence? Just saying. If I wife wants to kill her husband, and she uses his gun, it's not really a problem with gun control. She could have:

 

1. Stabbed him

2. Poisoned him

3. Bought an illegal weapon (which, is it really that hard to do?)

And many more. Point is, if you want to kill someone, using a gun is not the only option. It's the easiest option.

Yes, the number includes suicides and spouses but it is true. It also includes home invasions. There are a remarkable number of homicides where the thief was able to obtain the homeowners gun and shot the honeowner. Along with that, the stollen gun can then be used in crimes. Another componant not discussed.

The ease is important to note. Suicides could be prevented if were more dificult. Survivors of attempted suicide mostly regret the attempt and don't try again. Guns are the most effective means of suicide by far.

The story today of a five year old killing his 2 year old I'd a result of how careless the gun culture is.
