Right, because smaller government and deregulation lead to slave labor and big government with lots of regulation leads to more freedom. I'd recommend a little education about China. Maybe China 101 to start with. Because we all know that China has a small government, little regulations and freedom is rampant.

I think one of the difficulties here is trying to figure out that this guy was so crazy that he would do something like this. What is a doctor supposed to do? Just because someone says they are having trouble sleeping and even if they are depressed and hearing voices, you can't just lock them up in a mental hospital for observation. There has to be some reason to believe they are a danger to themselves or others.

I guess it is in your world as long as we just sorta overlook the Slave Labor thing. Ah, the necessary evil required so we can all enjoy texting on our IPhones. Too bad you weren't born 200 years ago. Then you could have owned some negroes to pick cotton for you. All in the name of Capitalism.

Yes, great person. One I know left wingers admire. http://www.uproxx.com/technology/2012/01/ny-times-investigation-confirms-that-apples-factories-in-china-are-basically-slave-labor-camps/

It means I would have to ride a bicycle 40,000 plus miles every year with a trailer to haul all my business related items.. The other option would be to go on government assistance and have you pay me to sit home.

What "Facts"? You're just talking out your ass. If there were any facts, Bush and anyone else involved would be on trial.

The truth is that intelligence was manipulated at some level. Many reports put that level at the VPs office. Intelligence that supported the push for war was hyped, contradicting intelligence was downplayed. It's really, truly not in dispute, regardless of agenda. We fucked up. So intel must have been manipulated but you have no idea at what level? Then how can you claim it's not in dispute? So it "must have" been that Cheney, with his shifty eyes, who else could it have been. You are funny.

Ironic that the train of thought I see in most of your posts reminds me of the Jonestown Massacre and it's leader. [\quote] I would strongly suggest you get some professional help if this progresses to hearing voices. You don't own any firearms do you?

It's also being reported he was hearing voices.

As opposed to your hero, who wants to do even more. Who are you referring to?

Sometimes the level of ignorance is astounding.

Half is "nearly" 60%, which in turn is "nearly" 75%. And 75% is nearly more than 85% ... ... ... So nearly 99.99% of rebel fighters are jihadists. Yep, and your Hero is supplying them with guns.

You clearly don't understand anything you read. a. Not left wing. In the countries where I can vote, probably actually described as the opposite. b. Not what i believe at all. However, please continue your ignorance. it gives me a good laugh. That's normally what someone with no response has to say. Thanks for the confirmation. Keep digging Keep confirming.

Easy - because people like YOU oppose making background checks truly effective. MAJOR BULLSHIT!! I have never been opposed to keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. LIP SERVICE ONLY. You oppose tightening the background checks. I support keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. This guy had been known to have mental problems. I hope we can use this as an opportunity to find out how he slipped through the cracks and what needs to be done to correct that failure, not as an opportunity to assign blame as you seem bent on doing.

OK, 5 years, 10 years... Which western nation has had more mass shootings in that time? Oh, now it's a Western Nation.

Well apparently you have selective memory. I have stated recently that the police have no obligation to protect you and you should take steps to protect yourself. It's left wingers like you who believe only law enforcement should be armed. This should be a good example of just how wrong you are, as usual. Normally, I'd say nice try, but in this case your comments are pathetic.

He was illegally in possession of a firearm in DC. I guess we need to pass even more laws to stop this from happening again.

Why are you limiting it to 2 years. Oh, never mind. Just more obfuscation on your part.

I'd like to know how this guy was able to buy a gun. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_NAVY_YARD_SHOOTING_GUNMAN_MENTAL_HEALTH?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2013-09-17-08-03-32

Your justifications keep getting weirder and weirder. You just told us you doubted you would ever find yourself in a situation that would require you to need a gun. Now you are worried about someone on the internet whom you have never met and likely never will. How am I a threat to you? I have no criminal history and I don't care what you and your boyfriend do.

Then why do you want to ban guns? America is a violent ass place, where you are more likely to be killed by a gun than if you lived in Yemen. .. Figure out a way to get criminals to give up their guns and assurances they won't use them to commit a crime and you will see fewer law abiding people who feel a need to protect themselves. Taking away guns from honest people will only encourage criminals.

Absolutely not. I've avoided very many acts of aggression by walking away, been in only one fight and it wasn't directly related to me. I think fighting is stupid and a good way to screw your own life up. Having said that though, running out the back door isn't always an option...there's a good chance that someday you'll have to defend yourself or someone else and cannot run. What then? There is a good chance someday I will be in a life and death fight with someone? You watch too much SpikeTV if you truly believe that. It happens to more than you realize. Running is not always an option. I agree that America is a violent ass place, where you are more likely to be killed by a gun than if you lived in Yemen. But, I still don't believe the majority of Americans are going to face a life and death battle with a random violent predator during their lifetime. I have certainly never seen any statistics or studies to indicate that was likely. Then why do you want to ban guns?

are you expecting to be single forever? Well, if the would be family knows how much (little) you feel for them, sounds like the answer is yes. The minute there are 2 people in the house, this run out the back door plan becomes woefully inadequate. A significant other could run out the door with me, its a normal sized door not a tiny doggy door. Maybe I just under-estimate the time it takes for 2 random burglars to fight 2 80 lb shepherds....but I think I can make it the 25 feet to the back door, could probably get a significant other there as well. Ill leave it to the imagination as to the sex of the significant other, since that seems to have some bearing for Gravitymaster. Not that there's anything wrong with that. To each his own, just make sure you use protection.
