"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" Captain Renault, Casablanca.

"There's nothing to see here. Move along, move along."

Or maybe the majority was signaling its willingness (desire?) to look at those issues -- that's certainly how Scalia's bit about incorporation and Cruickshank seemed. He was all but saying "Please, please let us look at incorporation." That and issues like "reasonable restriction" and "common...

Wow, it looks like they had all their members -- all eight of them -- show up to hold up signs for that photo op.

False dichotomy. It's not about one or the other. Fact: The Civil War was about the economic policies pushed by the North Fact: The Civil War was about the South wanting to preserve slavery. One fact does not negate the other. Rarely do wars have single causes. It's kind of like...

I'll bite. One of the hardest things for me about being a "true believer" in the RKBA is the realization that there are a whole lot of people out there who are not responsible enough to own or keep guns. We belittle some. We call them sheeple. With others, we talk about Darwin and even...

Ratzinger, Your reply isn't a disagreement with what I wrote. I was commenting on the likely outcome of revolution. You commented on a possible cause. Those are two separate topics.

1) I said communist revolutions, not end-of-communisim revolutions. I agree that the end of communism was a good thing. 2) The violence that accompanied the end of communism in the various *SSRs was not revolution, IMO. Rather, it involved various factions -- some pro-communist, some...

Careful What You Wish For I Most Common: Incident (a riot or stand-off is not a revolution). Less Likely: Failed revolution. Rare: Successful revolution -- but that makes things worse. Near Miraculous: Successful revolution -- and that makes things better. Likelihood decreases down the...

Yep. I'll also note that as is typical of these discussions, we're given pro-regulation examples that are nearly or more than a century old. Yea Grover Cleveland! Hoorah William McKinley! Huzzah Huzzah Teddy Roosevelt! There's the problem. A century ago, the government stepped in...

Minimum wage laws minimize jobs -- meaning the poor can't buy guns. See! It always comes back to gun control! ;)

Note the last paragraph. It aint' just guns and it ain't just the USA (like you didn't know that). from http://www.cctv.com/english/20070430/103358.shtml

Kessler was head of the FDA, not surgeon general, and although he did look at banning cigarettes (as unapproved drug-delivery devices, interestingly enough), it was not the FDA that sued tobacco companies -- or at least not the big-money cases that you're talking about. There was one...

Plenty have -- it was on the news. It doesn't nothing to help us. It does a lot to hurt us. Yes there is. Any parent would take it as a threat -- you KNOW this when you say it -- therefore it is a threat. The grammar doesn't matter.

The difference is the implied violence, and you know it:rolleyes:

See, here's where you revolutionary-wannabees need to learn some logic. Please look up False Dichotomy. No one said anything about being nice, and certainly nothing about being pushovers. We're saying refrain from inflammatory violent rhetoric that does nothing but make it easy for the...

:rolleyes: If you tell someone, "Your daughter should be raped," he will take it as a threat and act accordingly. Everyone knows how it will be recieved. If you make a statement that you know will be received as a threat, you are making a threat. Arguing over the grammar is laughable...

Semantics. Both are threats because any sane speaker would understand that both would be received as threats.

"Your daughter should be raped." "I'm going to rape your daughter." Nope. Smells the same to me. .

I never said we should stop. Rather, I said "I'm in it for the long haul." I said, "there's still a lot of work to do" Why are you purposefully ignoring what I wrote?
