The next time someone advocates for "common sense" gun laws...

[friendly_iconoclast]

...ask them if their "common sense" would be the same "common sense" as Tim Huelskamps "common sense":

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/apr/1/the-war-on-marriage-and-motherhood/

In defiance of biology, nature and common sense, the administration argues that children need neither a father nor a mother and that having two fathers or two mothers or more is just as good as having one of each.

ANYONE that appeals to 'common sense' is bullshitting you...

1. Huh?!!!!!

Your question doesn't make any sense...... "common" or otherwise.

[villager]

2. Part of the "I got nothin'" way the proliferationists have of arguing for more guns

They have rhetorical flourishes -- you can set a timer for the word "Manichean" to appear in this thread shortly -- but in the wake of the strewn bodies, and the vast public support for common sense gun safety laws, that's really all they have.

3. You lot and the homophobes should get together for a sit-down.

Make the agenda something along the lines of:

"Why we're oppressed by others doing things we don't like. Also, "Why do they stubbornly refuse to be
guilt-tripped by us?"

8. Really! Can you imagine?! There are actually people out there who don't

like seeing gunfuckers use their guns to mow down other people by the dozens!

Crazy, right?

What a bunch of non-sensical freaks!

[friendly_iconoclast]

11. You moralists sure have a lot of anger just under the surface.

I'd imagine Tim Huelskamp says similar things when he thinks the 'wrong' people aren't
listening...

[friendly_iconoclast]

14. "My" boy? Not really- loud proclamations of what society "needs" combined combined with...

...inflexible moral certitude are really more the two of you, not me.

In any event, gun prohibitionists and anti-equality types seem to share a somewhat older mindset:

15. You sure seem to be awful familiar with his work...Might want to give Gandhi a try instead.

"Gandhi sought to practice non-violence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same"

You might want to try a little of that sometime!

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. Gandhi?

Oh, right...the guy who said, "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest."

[Eleanors38]

19. Gandhi had something to say about "despatching lunatics." Look it up.

4. How is your "common sense" different from Huelskamp's "common sense"?

[ZombieHorde]

5. I agree. Common sense is meaningless. nt

[ileus]

6. I'll believe in common sense gun laws when someone with

Common sense about the 2A and firearms writes a law worth a shit.

7. OP deserves to be locked, imo

ask them if their "common sense" would be the same "common sense" as Tim Huelskamps "common sense":

Whoever takes care of this, please lock this nonsense, has nowt to do with guns or gun control.

9. I disagree

While your arguments are often well expressed (despite being rather wordy), there are many who will not address pro-gun arguments but prefer to dismiss them. They call these measures " common sense reforms" so that they can cast off disagreement as nonsense without being bothered to show why. Until there can be some admission by both sides that we ALL want to see crime rates go down and we ALL want kids to be safe at school, there won't be any progress on this issue.

[friendly_iconoclast]

10. Wrong group- this isn't the gun control echo chamber.

[Eleanors38]

20. Routine censorship/hiding is in the other group. Confused?

[Starboard Tack]

13. Truly disgusting OP. You've sunk to a new low.

Your quoting the Washington Times kinda says it all.

[friendly_iconoclast]

16. Why? Because I showed that all those appeals to "common sense" boil down to "Do it my way"?

And your attempt to use the genetic fallacy, is weak at best- I doubt you'll express any
quibbles about sources to Alternet, whose link to Huelskamp's idiocy:

http://www.alternet.org/dumbest-gop-op-ed-year-so-far

got me started on this. Or the other DUer who quoted him:

http://sync.democraticunderground.com/1052342

"A Kansas congressman (Tim Huelskamp) writes the dumbest anti-gay marriage op-ed ever"

Primary sources, for fair or foul.

17. unlocked & loaded

friendly iconoclast: Wrong group- this isn't the gun control echo chamber.

Huh? this group is 'Gun Control & RKBA', so guncontrol is as much the subject as RKBA, but your OP has nothing to do with either, that is my complaint which I lodge again.
You post an unrelated OP & link which have nothing whatsoever to do with guns or guncontrol, & try to make it appear there's some special relationship between common sense & guncontrol or rkba & marriage & motherhood.
If I were to start a thread comparing spring gardening with RKBA it would be similar stretched reasoning.

Your OP: The next time someone advocates for "common sense" gun laws. ...ask them if their "common sense" would be the same "common sense" as Tim Huelskamps "common sense.

Not a word I saw about guns, firearms, or rkba.

Edit: Oh fer cripes, what's the point with the crusades? (as I just saw the picture & tracks after replying). Are you into irrelevancy of a sudden?

[Serve The Servants]

21. Is this what they consider common sense now?...

Hold on to your hat...
