    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/06/12/Iraq-Civil-War-Is-Exactly-What-Democrats-Wanted Troops have been gone since December 2011...so almost two and a half years. How long should the US have kept troops in Iraq to keep you happy Marc? And how do you reconcile that with your wish to curb spending? Oh, and what would the Democrats have to gain by a civil war in Iraq? You really read an aricle like that and have an "aha" moment?

    Do you consider yourself close to centre?
  3. SkyDekker
    You have any stats for this? Occurence per 100,000 people etc?

    Freethefly posted the only useful fact in this thread - that stolen guns are a tiny portion of those used to commit crimes. And it hardly surprises me that you nor Kallend stayed well clear of it, preferring instead to state gems like 'ok, maybe it wasn't legal in the US, but it must be legal somewhere else, some other time.' Lol...here you go twisting again. Did you mean stolen in the US or stolen in general? Unless you want to claim that the majority of gun crimes relate to legally owned firearms.....but that doesn't help your position much.

    I agree. So, who did he save? They had the opportunity to kill unarmed people...and they chose not to. Then he showed up with a gun and got himself killed. Who exactly did he save? Getting yourself killed saving no one is not being a hero....it is being stupid.

    Most cocaine and heroin is manufactured illegally. Are you contending a sizeable group of guns in circulation were manufactured illegally? No hes saying gun control is so stupid it should be illagal. Other than ome light chuckling at the irony..... It would seem that people in countries with stricter gun control tend to have a lower tendency to go on homocidal rages.

    it's a pointless distinction to make. If the claim is that legal gun owners are arming criminals, but in reality the crooks are getting the bulk of their weapons via illegal purchase methods or from foreign lands, then summarizing it all as legal guns is simply deceitful. Which is exactly how to describe kallend's point. lol, It doesn't help your position to try and twist and turn out of statements which are simply true. Most guns are manufactured legally and then find their way to the illegal market. Most cocaine and heroin is manufactured illegally and stays on the illegal market. Trying to argue out of that simple fact just weakens the rest of your arguments. (so please keep doing it )

    So, who enabeled the Gabby Gifford shooter? You know, the left wing nut who shot her? Your short sighted comment is sad at best It's interesting that one of the best arguments I've heard in favor of concealed weapons is from this very story, yet I've heard nobody, including you, mention it. The civilian killed in the Wallmart had pulled out his own weapon and was approaching the male shooter when the shooters wife shot and killed him. This distraction may have been enough to save lives. This is from eyewitness accounts, one of them being the friend of the deceased who was there. I really hate having to help you argue your case. Yes He did not know there were two of them and she came up behind him the police there are calling this guy a hero Had they not had a chance to kill other bystanders yet? Sounds like this guy got himself killed because he was had a gun, others without a gun didn't get killed.

    Most cocaine and heroin is manufactured illegally. Are you contending a sizeable group of guns in circulation were manufactured illegally? guns that are smuggled in with drug shipments from outside US borders were never "legal." Maybe not legal in the US, but from your statement you can't conclude the gun wasn't legallly manufactured in the first place.

    Prison time coming up?
  12. SkyDekker
    In that case pretty much all guns were legal at one point, and it is the legal gun market that is feeding the illegal gun market.
  13. SkyDekker
    And labelling the news source that coincides with your political slant as "most trusted" says more about the person than the news source. Ohhh, look, that is exactly what I said in my first post on the subject.
  14. SkyDekker
    Yes to pretty much all of the above. Most if not all guns start as legally purchased guns, which then through a multitude of ways end up as "illegal". That us unless you are willing to entertain the idea that gun manufacturers are selling guns knowing they will end up on the illegal market. There is precedent for this with the tobacco manufacturers.

    To me this poll says more about Americans than it does Fox News. YMMV

    Lol, yes a resounding devastating blow!!! That is some clear evidence. I love how you are always claiming that the science behind Climate Change is not strong. Then this is what you post as a rebuttal? This is what you call science that delivers a devastating blow?
  17. SkyDekker
    Sure, for those who think more guns is always the better answer...absolutely.

    Some one took him down during a re-load. Seems to give some legitimacy to limiting magazine size.

    Trying to think of what would motivate me to take up arms. For me, a group coming in and killing half my family would motivate me more than a prisoner exchange.

    I read somewhere that he had left base like this before, but returned. If that is true, that certainly raises some other questions. Would also make deserting harder to prove, since that would include the intentention to not return. There are just so many unknowns at this point. What is known is that DOD hasn't always been that truthful about "facts", which makes this even harder to assess.
  22. SkyDekker
    I agree....the story certainly doesn't appear to be straight forward, but hard to know what is truth and what is fiction at this point.
  23. SkyDekker
    Didn't army fact finding initially say Tillman was killed by enemy fire? Then the army found some other facts.
  24. SkyDekker
    Right here on dropzone.com dude! Independent research by marc, newsmax and blazetv all say this is the truthiness....the kind you can feel in your belly.

    Marc, thought I would post some more from the study for you: I know, hard to believe some right wing nut-job website would completely misrepresent the study.
