That’s odd. The guy issuing death threats has a legally registered gun and a concealed carry permit. I was under the impression that those sorts of people never committed crimes.
Sorry, the DSM-V isn’t scheduled to be released until 2013, but I have it on good authority that voting for a Republican is going to be listed as a symptom in half a dozen diagnoses, including Sociopathic Antisocial Disorder, Cognitive Dissonance, Bipolar Disorder, and clinical depression.
the other two are Narcissistic Dementia and Batshit Crazy Syndrome, but those require that the patient have voted for Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann. 
Are rarely and never the same in your world? For that matter, was this hijack really necessary? Really?
Sorry for hijacking the thread about domestic terrorists with my comments about an accused domestic terrorist. :rolleyes: Or are we not allowed to mention the parts that are embarrassing to gun enthusiasts outside of designated gun threads?
The gun control thing was just unnecessary. Are you happy to have blown down the strawman, though?
What stats we have indicate CCW holders tend to commit serious crimes at or below the average rate. It’s not embarrassing, it just is. It’s not “never”, no one ever said so, so again, big whoop you caught a known bad apple and attacked the veracity of a statement no one on the dope makes. Good job!
Well, I was going to let this thread drop but since it’s been bumped through a 'jack…
Kolga, any thoughts on my post #213? I was answering your direct questions. Shall I assume you’re on board with my answer?
No it wasn’t. It was bumped because another right wing, gun fanatic nutcase was making death threats.
You may not assume so. I appreciate your answers, however.
Oh, good grief. It wasn’t me, Fox made me do it. That will make for one hell of a legal defense :rolleyes:
Well, it IS the Twinkie of all news networks.
Guy threatening Pelosi lives in federally subsidized housing.

Of course.
No problem. My neverending mission, to educate the masses, continues.
Yep, and when he he got to court he started crying like the little beeyotch that he is.
Respectfully,
I don’t think spreading your subjective opinion around constitutes as educating the masses…
Equally respectfully, if you take the time to read post 213, you’ll see it’s backed by fact and data. I understand that some might not be happy when those facts are at a right angle to one’s politics, but there you have it.
He just loves this country, so much.
Like most of your posts on this topic, the aforementioned Post 213 appears to be based on WaPo editorials, which are not facts. In fact, they often seem to make up facts, like:
Let’s see what the CBO actually says about the bill as passed, shall we?
One may then assume that you have no interest in citing your posts on the SDMB that support liberal positions? Posts which, one would assume according to your statement, “In fact I have more liberal positions than conservative ones,” outnumber your posts supporting conservative positions?
RNATB, I shouldn’t have to remind you that the CBO is required the score the bill based on the ‘garbage in-garbage out’ that it’s made of. In other words, it must assume that the preposterous assumptions in there will pan out (DocFix, Medicare Advantage savings, etc.)
I like to quote editorials because they make the point in a more amusing way than the source data, but the data is all sourced.
Which doesn’t even begin to address the unintended consequences I mentioned (there have been more since AT&T’s move in that post), the fact that all the easy deficit control moves have been taken up through this healthcare and us getting our budget back in order is now that much harder, etc. The main point is that the $500b in benefits cuts, even if we believe that they won’t be over-rided by Congress faster than you can say SGR, and the $600b in tax increases, *are now no longer available to reduce the deficit. *
It’s like a family, in debt up to their eyeballs, find $5000 in the street and decide to take a cruise, because, hey, we can pay for that cruise now. (Yes, I know that extending healthcare isn’t the same as a vacation, but you get my drift). Again, I know that the left doesn’t like the inconvienent truth that we simply cannot afford this, but we can’t.
This, and other reasons, I believe, is why much of the public was against this bill. This is why the Democrats will pay for passing it this November. And to some extent, the logrolling and tricks used by the Dems to get it passed over the will of the people has sparked off a lot of the violence and threats on this emotional issue.
