It actually is Edge from U2, as someone pointed out.

The quote itself, it is something of an over-generalization, sort of like this picture...

 

... sort of.

It's a shame you feel the need to completely avoid the fact that it's the NRA that put the background check into the Brady bill of 1994. As it stood, the Brady bill was just a waiting period and the NRA pushed for it to include a background check. That's only one of a multitude of items the NRA has done to assist in keeping guns out of the hands of those who are prohibited. Your entire premise is wrong.

 

That should say no mental health doctor ever

-eh- dunno. I tell you what, I do NOT envy mental health doctors with this issue. HIPAA be damned, having to balance someone's rights against probability to do harm. Being wrong either way would SUCK.

I don't think it is. It's his trademark watch cap, but the beard is different. The guy in the picture has a thick neck, while Edge has the thin, wussy pencil-neck that is common among outspokenly liberal hippie rock musicians.

Oh great, now we're going to let facts cloud the argument.

It was actually yesterday, but I met with a newly hired school district security director regarding how he would/would not work with our department on new school security measures.  He has a strong military base security background........which I think could be a really good thing in the case of a rocket attack....or not.

Over the weekend I built my SGWorks bullpup from my SKS and yesterday I got the update that my 2, UTS-15s are 4 weeks out.  I also found that I could get an SMR1216 but the wait is anywhere from 5-8 months!

Isn't that "The Edge" from U2?

I'm a music illiterate but the other half said yes it is.

I saw this on FaceBook and thought it worth sharing.

True enough except for one is pretty accurate and the other is pretty much BS.

Interesting. I wonder what was originally in the section of the photo that seems to have been redacted on the lower right. I guess you have no idea about that either? It's just a weird picture, IMO.

Just a logo from a conservative blog called Liberty News.

It's truly scary the level of ignorance (or should I say stupidity) that some lawmakers have.  If you're going to sponsor a bill to ban something it would really help your cause to at least understand what it is you're trying to ban is.  /facepalm

Unfortunately, it's not limited to guns.

These politicians are human with human greed and "look our for me" attitude.  They are trying to keep their jobs and keep getting paid.  Doing something about guns is the "popular" thing to do.  It's patronizing at it's best.  That, or special interest groups are giving them fat perks to vote they way the want them to.

I have little faith in most politicians.  I will give them that sometimes they DO have the public interests at heart (as long as it jives with theirs), but most are looking out for themselves and will attach their wagon to what's popular to get reelected or keep those kickbacks coming.

I think most don't really stand for anything except what's good for them and probably vote from their wallet, rather than head or heart.

Just my cynical government views...  sigh

A picture's worth a thousand words, right? Whoever put that image together didn't select that photo arbitrarily, and I think it's weird. I'd like to know what was behind the choice to use that image. Is he how gun owners see themselves? Or is he supposed to symbolize a generic criminal that we're supposed to be afraid of?

I don't think it could be more obvious that he's just a random dude picture to symbolize a criminal.  The masterful photoshop on the bottom certainly proves that there was a tremendous amount of effort put into the picture.

I would say this picture is worth 19 words and a little punctuation.

I guess if you want to read something else into it, that's your prerogative.

Seems like lately you've only been able to come up with two possibilities, both of which for the most part have been to the extreme,,,,,,, possibly it's something in between?!?

But while I have your attention, possibly you give me your thought on the positive benefits of "gun free zones"?

Have you seen one of her spokespeople trying to come back from that quote?

http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2013/04/03/as-lead-sponsor-in-h...
DeGette’s spokeswoman Juliet Johnson issued a statement Wednesday, saying the congresswoman mispoke.

“The Congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years, and has been deeply involved in the issue; she simply misspoke in referring to ‘magazines’ when she should have referred to ‘clips,’ which cannot be reused because they don’t have a feeding mechanism,” Johnson said. “Quite frankly, this is just another example of opponents of common-sense gun violence prevention trying to manipulate the facts to distract from the critical issue of keeping our children safe and keeping killing machines out of the hands of disturbed individuals. It’s more political gamesmanship that stands in the way of responsible solutions.”


Rule one when you find yourself in a hole of your own making: Quit digging.

This one's at least as bad as "the should thing that goes up"
