This message was self-deleted by its author G_j Apr 2013 #3
So no link? pipoman Apr 2013 #4
I was trying to be subtle, but forget that, sorry G_j Apr 2013 #5
I can see both sides of the issue.. pipoman Apr 2013 #21
My favorite is the line that we need to offer something in exchange for MattBaggins Apr 2013 #8
"Free murder Tuesdays" Robb Apr 2013 #11
+1 graham4anything Apr 2013 #52
Well, not negotiating pipoman Apr 2013 #25
If we want to tighten laws on speeding MattBaggins Apr 2013 #30
OK pipoman Apr 2013 #33
There are controller/banners who decried getting nothing Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #129
It only resulted in a solid majority voting for the bill. tridim Apr 2013 #151
My understanding is that pipoman Apr 2013 #188
Democrats need 60 votes to pass anything, Republicans only need 51. tridim Apr 2013 #190
Around here "NRA talking point" usually means "disagrees with me on gun control." hack89 Apr 2013 #6
Or perhaps it means "agrees with the NRA." Robb Apr 2013 #12
I hold many positions in opposition to the NRA hack89 Apr 2013 #13
I just think if someone calls you something Robb Apr 2013 #14
I didn't take the OP personally hack89 Apr 2013 #15
And you also hold many of positions in agreement with the NRA. DanTex Apr 2013 #28
Only two that I know of hack89 Apr 2013 #40
And you support Scalia's opinion on the second amendment. DanTex Apr 2013 #41
Lets see here hack89 Apr 2013 #45
NRA talking points are a set of lies that arise from NRA press releases or gun blogs, DanTex Apr 2013 #48
ok. hack89 Apr 2013 #59
add "gun safety" Duckhunter935 Apr 2013 #60
yes, "push polls" they're experts at push polls. Sunlei Apr 2013 #72
thats what to expect from the NRA who rose from hell- hand in hand with their KKK brothers. Sunlei Apr 2013 #67
No, Dan. You are trying to smear people. It's so very obvious Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #130
No it is a way to state a fact Progressive dog Apr 2013 #54
Yes, because it is completely impossible that the NRA is right about anything. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #31
Not impossible, but wholly irrelevant. Robb Apr 2013 #37
Where did I ever say differently? eqfan592 Apr 2013 #44
Nail on the head. nt Skip Intro Apr 2013 #23
It means disagrees with the Democratic Party BainsBane Apr 2013 #113
But there are pro-gun Dems who are not NRA supporters hack89 Apr 2013 #144
It certainly allows one to feel better by believing that... LanternWaste Apr 2013 #154
I know - that's why they use that phrase hack89 Apr 2013 #155
There are protected forums for many reasons. Robb Apr 2013 #163
That particular post I was replying to was spectacularly stupid. hack89 Apr 2013 #164
Why should we suffer for your inability to conduct yourself civilly? Robb Apr 2013 #170
We "suffer" from your incivility in RKBA all the time hack89 Apr 2013 #179
Do you hate all safe haven groups? Robb Apr 2013 #182
No - just bemused at the hypocrisy. That's all. hack89 Apr 2013 #186
A little hypocritical, aren't you? premium Apr 2013 #165
"Pretty supportive." You don't support the SOP of the group. Robb Apr 2013 #167
Really? premium Apr 2013 #168
Oh, good grief. Robb Apr 2013 #169
I'll ask you again, premium Apr 2013 #172
You admit you don't support the SOP. Robb Apr 2013 #173
Wow, you just compared me to a Klansman. premium Apr 2013 #174
Again, if you think you've been treated unfairly Robb Apr 2013 #175
No thanks, premium Apr 2013 #177
Except the point about defeating Obama. aikoaiko Apr 2013 #7
Here's one I've seen many times: Kingofalldems Apr 2013 #9
The funny thing is hack89 Apr 2013 #16
The gun show loophole.... Stretch714 Apr 2013 #17
So why are laws being proposed to close the Kingofalldems Apr 2013 #18
What I am saying is that it is not a loophole... Stretch714 Apr 2013 #19
Looks like semantics to me. Kingofalldems Apr 2013 #20
Yep.. pipoman Apr 2013 #22
"Big gun control"? Robb Apr 2013 #32
Yep.. pipoman Apr 2013 #34
Oh puhleeese. truebluegreen Apr 2013 #46

Oh yeah, all y'all are SO terribly persecuted and misunderstood truebluegreen Apr 2013 #82
See the addition pipoman Apr 2013 #88
Whatever. truebluegreen Apr 2013 #94
that one is a lost cause Skittles Apr 2013 #124
I gathered that... truebluegreen Apr 2013 #171
LOL. And they wonder why we call them "NRA talking points". DanTex Apr 2013 #42
I notice there is no link to a "talking point" amid the snark..hmm pipoman Apr 2013 #89
See above. Mike Bloomberg and his billions are the latest talking point. Ikonoklast Apr 2013 #153
aw, so perplexing is it? Skittles Apr 2013 #105
Such an adult, rational response. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #108
it's a waste of time Skittles Apr 2013 #116
Because EVERY word of post #22 is true.. pipoman Apr 2013 #122
why do you sound EXACTLY like eqfan592? Skittles Apr 2013 #127
LOL...That's what I thought..~snick~ pipoman Apr 2013 #128
HONEST? Skittles Apr 2013 #131
See ya.. pipoman Apr 2013 #133
Your anger & your hatred is probably turning off those "scores of rational" folks. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #135
what part of, anger is entirely warranted G_j Apr 2013 #139
Re-read the comment. No excuse for the kind of Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #140

Steve, with all due respect, please return to AR-15.com where your views fit in quite nicely Electric Monk Apr 2013 #143
You have affixed the Scarket Letter "N." Therefore, have me purged. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #156
And right on cue, Team NRA is here to argue that there actually is no loophole. DanTex Apr 2013 #29
I open this thread for the next most commonly heard morningfog Apr 2013 #87
Right On! G_j Apr 2013 #99
So that is your "purge" strategy? What do the Mods & Administrators think? Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #136
There is no secret strategy. morningfog Apr 2013 #146
How would this "change" look? Who would decide censorship? What are the criteria? Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #161
Lol, the censorship. It would look like enforcement morningfog Apr 2013 #166
So let's see some specific criteria (your other examples were adequate). Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #185
I still see no specifics. Proposed your doctrines to the Administrators. nt Eleanors38 May 2013 #191
Easy. NRA pimps and whores get hidden and/or banned. morningfog May 2013 #192
When it is by design it is not a loophole. aikoaiko Apr 2013 #43
Exactly Captain Stern Apr 2013 #180
It's as much of a loophole as .... oldhippie Apr 2013 #181
I think we agree. (nt) Captain Stern Apr 2013 #183

1/4th of registered Democrats own guns davidn3600 Apr 2013 #10
A few are pissed they can't tell everybody else what to do. Skip Intro Apr 2013 #24
Gun owners and gun nuts are different categories. DanTex Apr 2013 #39
Well said! hrmjustin Apr 2013 #26
Huh?? eqfan592 Apr 2013 #35
Certainly everything they've said or done since the gun manufacturers took over. truebluegreen Apr 2013 #47
That is an equally irrational position to hold. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #49
Have you got a reading comprehension problem? truebluegreen Apr 2013 #50
No reading comprehension problem here. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #53
can't think of a better word G_j Apr 2013 #56
Thank you. truebluegreen Apr 2013 #62
Oh, they have massive blood on their hands? eqfan592 Apr 2013 #64
NRA guns for violent felons sigmasix Apr 2013 #93
Here is the point of my post.... eqfan592 Apr 2013 #100
I never said they are the root cause of violence G_j Apr 2013 #104
"Typical" indeed. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #106
I apologize G_j Apr 2013 #114
The NRA has done too many things to stop meaningful gun control. The NRA is evil. hrmjustin Apr 2013 #84
Find an enemy. Associate others with the enemy. Attack the Others. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #138
eqfan lets us know who is is rational and who isn't Skittles Apr 2013 #117

Yep, those "gunners" are just so horrible here. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #36
they pay people to post this crap, NRA, Tea Party they have minions paid by the post to disrupt. Sunlei Apr 2013 #55
Are you accusing DUers who disagree with you of being paid disrupters? NutmegYankee Apr 2013 #58
People are free to disagree and have different opinions. There are plenty of people in paid media Sunlei Apr 2013 #61
So that's a Yes? NutmegYankee Apr 2013 #69
what now? yes about what exactly? Sunlei Apr 2013 #81
That you are accusing DUers with an opposing position as paid disrupters. NutmegYankee Apr 2013 #91
You're stating this as a fact, premium Apr 2013 #63

What you say may very well be true, premium Apr 2013 #68

I'll haven't been here that long, so I don't know about the person last year, premium Apr 2013 #73

Oh how easy it must make it for you to dismiss those you disagree with. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #66
I don't 'dismiss' people I disagree with. Sunlei Apr 2013 #77
To the contrary, it would appear you just did (nt) eqfan592 Apr 2013 #78
OH - and then call us out for not being RATIONAL Skittles Apr 2013 #118
A lot of the NRA defenders are trolls who won't be here in a few more months. DanTex Apr 2013 #38
Too bad election season isn't 24/7/365 like it is now in the real world when this couldn't happen. graham4anything Apr 2013 #51
So maybe they want all their gun huggers Turbineguy Apr 2013 #57
It's fun to see Wayne LaPeirre spout some nonsense one day & see the same shit pop up on DU the next baldguy Apr 2013 #71
Wayne LaPeirre is wrong about a lot of things. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #79
Yes, everything he says is nonsense. baldguy Apr 2013 #96
Ahhh, the idiocy of absolutism. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #101
And yet you defend & support the absolutist Wayne LaPierre. baldguy Apr 2013 #107
Please point to where I say I support Wayne LaPierre? eqfan592 Apr 2013 #109
And now you claim ignorance. baldguy Apr 2013 #149

Wow, I don't often say this - but that is dumb as hell The Straight Story Apr 2013 #85
The best bit was when you said you think for yourself and don't use talking points. Robb Apr 2013 #92
If that were so, there wouldn't be a problem. baldguy Apr 2013 #97
Projection, gotta love it. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #102

I just love how anybody that says the NRA isn't the root of all evil... eqfan592 Apr 2013 #103
so why not advocate Republican positions here? G_j Apr 2013 #110
This is hardly a "republican vs democrat" only issue. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #111
It certainly is BainsBane Apr 2013 #125
Are you an NRA member? morningfog Apr 2013 #145
They support Republicans BainsBane Apr 2013 #112
Except, of course, for when they've supported democrats. eqfan592 Apr 2013 #115
Then why defend them? G_j Apr 2013 #120
the facts are they support very few Democrats BainsBane Apr 2013 #121
Here are your facts BainsBane Apr 2013 #123
