#1 It is a fundamental responsibility of any government to provide security in one's person, one's family, and one's property. When government demonstrates it no longer is willing or able to do so, it is no longer legitimate no matter what rituals it performs to justify its existence.

#2 Don't despair Josh, Obama has been good for gun sales. A bright spot in Obozo's otherwise dreary economy.

#4 There's a Hebrew expression that, roughly, translates as "I don't know if you're crazy, or just pretending---and I don't care.".

#5 I'm thinking they are not pretending in the WH. It is akin to laying your head on the chopping block and being happy about it.

#6 It is akin to laying your head on the chopping block and being happy about it.

The heads they lay on the chopping block are not their own.

#7 This was so well stated that it needs repeating.

"It is a fundamental responsibility of any government to provide security in one's person, one's family, and one's property. When government demonstrates it no longer is willing or able to do so, it is no longer legitimate no matter what rituals it performs to justify its existence. "

Jefferson himself couldn't have been clearer.

#8 Guns sales are a reflection of the public trust in GIVERnment. The folks in charge want to take away the 2nd amendment rights of innocent American people because of a few mental cases. Yet at the same time want to give non constitutional rights to immigrate to non-Americans while ignoring the behavior of the few terrorist immigrants. A little consistency would go a long way in building trust.

#10 If we each are focused on some local, fragmented social issue like this or the education bill,...we are distracted from the US open border policy, the collapse of the US economy and shift of world order. Don't be manipulated.

#11 Don't overthink it, Josh. It's really very simple. You don't trust us. We don't trust you.

#12 Really, we haven't ended WW2, The area we call Syria was the source of most of the NAZIS torturers.

The name's changed, but the actors haven't.

#13 The actual tragic irony is, every time one of Obie's policies fails, they ask him what went wrong.
If he knew that, it wouldn't have failed.
