What passes for liberalism today is something like watered down British nanny-statism.
huh? How do liberals INSIST on gun ownership? Please explain.

D'OH.

There are a lot of liberals who own guns. I think the argument lies in imposing certain kinds of gun control measures so guns don't fall into the wrong hands, which is a reasonable thing to want. Conservatives don't believe any kind of gun control, and that is a shame. I don't know anyone who thinks we should completely get rid of all guns, and that no one should be allowed to have one.

Obviously started a debated about gun control and liberals, who in todays world are the most anti-gun group next to Democrats.

They insist on the RIGHT to gun ownership, to be precise.

That 2d amendment didn't write itself. A couple of hippies named Madison and Jefferson made it happen. Ben "flowerchild" Franklin approved of it, and so did some lefty pervert named John Jay.

Define "wrong hands"?

I mean, I pretty much hate everyone I know, and I have managed not to kill any of my neighbors so far, right?

The way the amendment is worded, unless you have had your rights stripped by a felony conviction by a jury of your peers, you should be able to walk down the street with a flamethrower, if that's what you want to do.

DOIN IT WRONG.

Today's "liberals", I mean. By the classic (and dictionary) definition, a liberal is interested in continually increasing individual liberties, not finding ways to limit them.

But now "liberal" means some hippie-ass PETA crap in which you cannot say badwrong things or eat some red meat or shoot inanimate things on your own property, just for the hell of it. No, today's "liberals" are not really any different than the Jesus & Fear crowd on the right. Together, they are the No Fun crowd, and in a CIVILIZED society, they'd be laughed out into the wasteland, and they would breed no more.

But I'm not in a civilized society, I'm in America, and I am told I have to choose between Sean Hannity and Air Fucking America, and the very thought of this false dichotomy makes me want to exhume William Jennings Bryan and shit in his festering ribcage.

Oh, goddammit.

So you seem to find the idea of shitting on dead people pretty enticing.

Have you spoken to your therapist about that?
