In reply to the discussion: If you buy guns and ammo you're harming America by funding the NRA: volume 109 [View all]MarvinGardens
(781 posts)40. You are correct, you have made them repeatedly.
        And you have also repeatedly refused to offer an opinion on my alcohol proposal.  Yea or nay?  And if not why not?
A beneficial aspect of your plan, however, is that the police will be limited to carrying single shot long guns, since everything else will be completely banned.  We can't have the police carrying domestic terror weapons, right?  The police don't go around carrying nerve gas or surface-to-air missiles either, and a domestic terror weapon has no legitimate use in peacetime.  As a result, your proposal will result in fewer police killings of civilians.  I applaud the result even as I recognize some difficulties in implementing the policy.

        You are not much different from those waving fetus photos in front of abortion clinics...

        If you want to save more lives, what do you have against my alcohol proposal?

        Pious frauds regard truth as something that can be skipped when 'necessary'

        More pious fraud on your part-there is no "existing ban on hand grenades"

        Your schtick is far from original, and was recognized at DU as far back as 2013:

        The children who died at Sandy Hook-- you helped the NRA support their deaths.
