Obama has become a moderate in the past 4 years. Romney is as well.

and you believe him...

[Ridge]

If Obama has supporters here. I'm not one of them.

I misread his post and felt it was a slight at me.

[hollohas]

I misread it as you saying he has clear supporters HERE. I apologize.

No biggie, I suspected you may have thought I said HERE. I would never insult someone here by saying they support Obama.

[sniper7]

I'll vote for whoever I think is the better candidate. You go ahead and vote on down that party line.

Ridge is turning liberal. read it here. headline news. next up, rucker and Ridge seen at Bronie party

I think the confirmable number of deaths by legally owned NFA weapons, by the owner (as in, not stolen) is 2. No, I don't have the source.

According to Wikipedia (who knew?)


While NFA weapons as a whole are perceived by the American public as dangerous[citation needed], their use in crime is exceedingly rare. Legally-owned (ie, NFA-registered) machine guns have been used in only two murders since 1934, one of which was committed by a police officer.[9] A previous director of the ATF testified before Congress[citation needed] that fewer than ten registered machine guns (out of over 240,000 in the nation) have ever been used in any type of crime (including nonviolent offenses such as failing to notify ATF of address changes, etc.). The criminal use of other legally-owned NFA weapons is similarly rare. The Title II weapons used in prominent crimes, such the AK-47s used in the North Hollywood shootout of 1997, have universally been illegally-owned or illegally-converted weapons.

Just because Ridge can see through the bullshit of the Republican party, that everyone else here loves to ignore, doesn't mean he is turning, or is, liberal.

very interesting.


so now...if that because they are sooo hard to get? might be best to keep this info quiet or the antis will use it as a premise to use NFA regulations for all firearms....you know...to keep the guns out of the hands of the bad people.

I will agree.
