Debbie Dingell who has lived with domestic violence as a child and some Republican who kept trying to turn the conversation back to battling terrorism and how the President is doing such a bad job because he won't use the right scary words.<br /><br />What infuriated me was that he had the balls to imply that radical Islamic terrorism is the only problem when he's on the same program as a woman who almost lost her life to a deranged father with a gun. NONE of them will address the problems of gun deaths related to domestic violence, gang wars, accidental shootings (with far too many of those resulting in the deaths of children) and suicide.<br /><br />As scary as Islamic terrorism is, it causes a tiny fraction of the deaths that occur EVERY DAY from those other causes!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-41320536375834631362016-06-23T17:36:57.830-08:002016-06-23T17:36:57.830-08:00I would take that report of ONE store selling 30,0...I would take that report of ONE store selling 30,000 AR-15s in a few days with a chunk of salt. Come on, that's enough for two Infantry Divisions.<br /><br />Here's another reason: Back when I was an inkstained wretch, I knew some guys who ran a gun store and shooting range. When the 1992 Los Angeles riots broke out, one of the guys called me at the paper and claimed that he was suddenly selling guns and ammunition like crazy. This, in a small city in....Florida? I called a few other gun stores and they all told me there was no such surge in sales, which was what I figured, and I ignored the matter.

If you can get CSPAN on your TV you should go over there and hear all the counter arguments to what we hear. I could only take about 10 minutes of it but there are many citizens out there who don't even want a discussion on guns. And one caller said it was insane to call it gun violence because we don't call it drug violence etc. I guess the one positive about CSPAN is the "moderator" (wow! what a boring job and it seems like they hire the most vanilla person to moderate) just sits there, takes the call, lets the caller make his/her point and then calls on the next person to deposit their pov.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-85958660321564215192016-06-23T10:26:22.978-08:002016-06-23T10:26:22.978-08:00What does an AR-15 cost?
