    No kidding.

    I have crossed the border (to Canada) over 20 times (in the last 12 months), I just showed my ID (and proof of citizenship), and I was never stopped (searched, or even asked to exit my car/open my trunk, etc.) even one time.

    Yes. How dare this traumatized child not get it perfect the day after her friends were killed in cold blood

    Just common sense if we're going to have a licensing system to make guns radioactive for bad guys. We bring about a modest amount of protection for all of us from damn stupidity.

    This is another one of those "alternate universe" situations; abundant coverage on media of gun use, statistics showing everyone has a gun, hundreds of millions of powerful firearms all over the place, but I've never personally even seen someone holding a firearm (since military service).

    I wonder whether my fellow posters here have ever seen someone using a gun (not on TV or the movies).

    Easily?
    Try sticking a gun up your arse.

    The UK gun ban has been extremely effective. Not a single school shooting since.
    Aim achieved 100%.

    They're corporate types making money as much and as fast as they can, no different, better or worse, than other businesses. As with all businesses, if we don't like what they're doing, we can either leave it alone on an individual basis or regulate it on a societal level. There are decent people in Hollywood, but there are bad actors (pun intended) like Harvey Weinstein and people who make gratuitously violent films.

    Hey. No excuses. If the MSM wants to flaunt her words as important and bash the potus, then those words have to be criticized for being ****ing ignorant. We wouldn’t even hear anyone calling Obama what she called Trump. Because she’s be deemed a racist, redneck, white supremacist.

    Great audition for Last Comic Standing.

    I would give it a Charitable D+.

    You can't possibly actually believe that RW BS? Could you?

    Wow. The RW gets more laughable by the day.

    Thanks for keeping the RW Comic Relief going at PF.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    Carry on. :salute:

    I'm not sure I agree on some of the details, but we definitely have a poor people problem that I think is getting worse. It's pretty obvious that American business is focused on international profits regardless of the consequence for Americans.

    Aside from the silly ad hominem nonsense. Is it supposed to be harder to smuggle guns than tons of illegal drugs, por millions of illegal aliens? Not yet. If it ever becomes difficult to smuggle guns over the border they can be easily manufactured by anyone with a work bench and access to a hardware store.

    Gun Bans increase gun crime - for obvious reasons.

    “The ban on handguns after the Dunblane
    massacre has failed to halt either the
    rise in armed crime or to undermine the
    British appetite for shooting sports. To
    the dismay of campaigners, who hoped the
    tragedy would instill a lasting sense of
    public revulsion over firearms, guns are
    again fashionable in Britain.” Ian Burrell,
    Home Affairs Correspondent, “
    THE INDEPENDENT, After five years, Dunblane remembers,” “Tragedy has
    done little to quash appetite for gunplay,” By Ian Burrell, Home Affairs Correspondent, 3/13/2001.

    Yep, another close shave. It's amazing how lucky we've been.

    They might be potentially receptive, but Trump is driving them away.

    Tanks, guns, planes......

    Carson? Why the would anyone support that jerkwad? I will not even get into the idiocy of anyone with sense and patriotism supporting the birther-in-chief.

    If someone offered 5 million dollars to a Chinese company they'd probably illegally make one for you. Might not work as good as the normal ones.

    Probably the only reason they're not on the black market is the price to benefit ratio wouldn't be worth it, if we're going to take an honest economic look at this.

    Great fortunes and family dynasties were built on smuggling contraband.

    Absolutely.

    Going to Canada is one of the only times that I can't freely travel with my Dearborn girls.

    It is way too easy to get profiled (crossing at Detroit/Windsor) when traveling with an Arab Princess.
