He's one of those men.
We've been here before, but we're also talking about a nation of "gunowners" now. There are MORE of US than of the ANTI'S... granted they own the mouth piece, and the long-legged liar in chief. However, WE provide an example.
My mother said this weekend when she heard them talking about "Arsenals, and Ammo", "...you've got more ammuntion than that, and own more weapons than he did... and you haven't done anything stupid like this..."
EXACTLY! WE are the shining example!

Now you've gone and done it. You've given me an idea. By now you should know how dangerous a proposition THAT is.
Anyway, here's the idea:
The forum owner should use his massive influence in the internet webmasters' world (or in a pinch, some smaller outfit like the NRA might could manage this) to get a nationwide internet poll started. Respondents would have to be legitimized in some manner to exclude trolls and anti-gunners trying to screw up the survey, so NRA and other sporting and gun-rights organization membership might be a good list to go by, but their answers should be totally anonymous. I suggest FOUR questions:
(1) DO YOU OWN MORE GUNS THAN THE AURORA, CO. THEATER MASSACRE SHOOTER (4, WASN'T IT)?
(2) DO YOU OWN MORE THAN 100 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION?
(3) DO YOU OWN ANY HIGH-CAPACITY (MORE THAN 8 ROUNDS) MAGAZINES (NRA MEMBERS WILL KNOW THEY ARE NOT CLIPS)?
(4) DO YOU OR HAVE YOU EVER FELT THE URGE TO MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE?
Idea is to get a number for just part of the people whose rights and priviledges would be stomped upon by a law abridging our Second Amendment rights just in case some nutjob dedcides to pull another one-in-ten-million debacle.
"The Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference." -Thomas Jefferson
Gun-crazy? Me? I'd say the gun-crazy ones are the ones that don’t HAVE one.
