Obama Signs Executive Orders on Gun Control

[Moon Knight]

Either this is a joke, or you're one of THOSE people. Which is it?

My bet, a bad joke.

 

[Moon Knight]

Do I look like I'm joking?

A comedian, I see.

 

[The Butcher]

A comedian, I see.

A doctor, actually. I'm a regular Patch Adams.

And yes, the overuse, abuse, and expansion of executive authority is frightening, especially considering that Americans can still be detained indefinitely without standing trial. Why Barry O renewed that one was a head scratcher.

...............You remind me of someone.

 

[Slyfox696]

Not really.

You did, whether you meant to or not. You responded to a joke with a response about abuse of power.

Maybe it was unintentional, but it was there.

No, you look like an alt.

Not uncommon to respond to a joke with explaining common complaints with the orders. I never had any myself, not sure why executive orders no matter the scope never bothered me much.

No, you look like an alt.

I was actually thinking that, I was going to ask whose alt he was.

Well, I can assure you both that I'm a WZ noob. This just isn't my first forum. I've drifted in and out of the IWC for years. So, if either of you had previous memberships on one of those inferior boards, you could recognize what passes for my sense of humor from there.

Today, something unimagineable happened.

Today, my mother, grandmother, father and myself all agreed that what Obama had to say this morning was in fact, a good thing. My mother and grandmother come from an extremely long line of pastors and right-wing religious crazy people. My father has a conservative CHristmas mother, and all his siblings are big democrats with hard-ons for Obama. I general fall independent, as I don't hate Obama, starting like like Biden, but would vote for a republican if he was the best candidate for the job.

THis has never happened before.

Seems like some more useless laws that will just cause more needless government spending to me.

 

[Slyfox696]

Yeah...except they are not laws at all...

 

[Natural Selection]

Seems like some more useless laws that will just cause more needless government spending to me.

And will solve nothing.

 

[Slyfox696]

And will solve nothing.

Solve nothing? Perhaps. Reduce something? Very possible.

I still don't understand the "all or nothing" mindset of Americans. It's like if one measure doesn't solve everything, it's not worth doing.

24. "Sneak into gun owners homes at night, take their guns, send guns to Mexico as part of a sting mission; call it 'Operation Slow and Careful.'"

Personally, I'd call it Operation Let's Do Something Already.

It's not that "guns kill people". It's a mentality of handing a knife to a child.

 

[Slyfox696]

Could it be somehow related to the fact that over 30,00 Americans are killed every year with a gun?

 

[Moon Knight]

Then what did kill those people? Waterballons?

 

[Slyfox696]

Then what did kill those people? Waterballons?

Smoke inhalation from the discharged firearm. Must be it.

 

[Natural Selection]

People killed those people.

With a gun, not by a gun.

 

[Slyfox696]

With a gun, not by a gun.

Allow me to rephrase...

"Could it be somehow related to the fact that over 30,00 Americans are killed every year from being shot?"


Better?

 

[Natural Selection]

Better?

No.

England has zero guns and the highest violent crime rate in the world. I can't imagine why.

 

[Moon Knight]

People killed those people.

With a gun. People killed them with a gun.

 

[Slyfox696]

No.

Sorry, it's true.

England has zero guns and the highest violent crime rate in the world. I can't imagine why.

They also had a grand total of roughly 100 gun deaths in the last two years. As opposed to the 25,000 homicides in America.

I can't imagine why. But really, that's a great argument. Being vandalized is TOTALLY the same as being shot repeatedly in the head.

Better?

Incredibly skewed numbers. Most of those deaths are criminal on criminal violence associated with illegal activity.
