The bill in question would mean that I could be compelled to release my user credentials to a prospective employer for my online account. Who here thinks this is either a good or acceptable idea? Anyone? Bueller?
Joe wants people to be held accountable for the laws they push. This includes sponsoring a law. If you cannot be bothered to spend the time reading a bill, you should not be sponsoring it. Even more than that, you should be held accountable for what’s written in it. Ignorance of what is hidden within isn’t an excuse and you should be held accountable no matter what.

Yes, that AR-15 is so unwieldy according to Joe Biden that it should be banned yet all those features allow that wonderful little girl* to experience the same fun as the rest of us.
I will say it is stories like Kelly’s that builds an unbelievable fire in my belly to the point of wanting to just fight this battle with a scorched earth policy. The thought of Mr. Biden or any other person telling that little girl that she has no reason for that rifle does nothing by make my blood boil.
While I like Kelly’s version, I think I like mine better because it emphasizes my feelings on the subject without any question as to my meaning.
Why yes, that is a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy holding an AR15. Because that’s just how we roll down here in Bitter Clingervillefuck you that’s why!
I suppose since this is Kelly’s daughter he was trying to avoid a 4 letter expletive, frankly the though of people trying to take away her tools and what she’s accomplished pisses me right the hell off. Not only does it piss me off, but there is no “why” necessary when teaching someone a skill and watching them excel at it, especially when it provides them enjoyment.
*Given Kelly has many of the same online friends as well as knows some of the same people from Meat Space as myself, as well as reading his accounts of Katy Beth, I can only assume she is as awesome as she looks in the picture. -B]

If I had known this would come from those mags, I would have purchased them for that sole purpose.
John Klein – IM Conversation

[The magazines in question can be seen here. Screen shot is below, though it’s worth clicking over just to read the whole debate it started (I will include the best part).
You can probably already guess who the problem child was in that threat of comments. Read through them the debate was interesting even if honestly it fits the script I’ve seen 100 times. Seriously I don’t know how they do it but I swear every “debate” goes through the exact same evolution. The kicker though is during that evolution they always do the same thing at one particular point.
And that folks, ended the debate. Seriously, he stayed quite after that. Though there is one other comment that frankly had me laughing my ass off.
I think Matthew’s final observation there nails it. I gave plenty of counter anecdotal evidence along with information he could independently verify. Instead he alluded to the idea that John and I are compensating for something. Yup, that’s the sign of the winning argument there. –B]

[And as Kevin points out, that’s not how it is supposed to be. I find this a much more applicable description.
I should not be fearful that someone is calling the state because I took a picture of my child with a firearm. I should not be afraid that the state is going to come kick down my door because someone provides some false information for the “war on drugs”. We are living in a police state.
I have an idea for a post but I’m just not sure how to write it or string the thought out completely. The premise though is the meaning of the law is becoming worthless. More and more laws are being created, laws the creators admit are unenforceable. This leaves two different options:
The law no longer really matters and is nothing more than an empty symbol.
The law now exists as a tool to manipulate, scare, and intimidate those they deem undesirable.
But that’s their goal, scare and intimidate law-abiding people into giving up their rights. Cause them to have to be unsafe to adhere to the asinine laws. I’m of the opinion if the law has degenerated to the point that it is criminalizing the free exercise of a right, that it’s sole action is to criminalize the innocent, I might as well just accept the fact they want to treat me as a criminal. If that’s the case and I’m going to be punished for owning something or doing something that doesn’t affect anyone else, maybe I should actually do something worthy of being called a criminal. If I’m going to be given a penalty anyway, why not actually do something to earn it?*
The law is loosing its worth and these people are rejoicing at it’s destruction. They don’t seem to understand it’s perversion is being done in such a way so the state can consume them just the same as it consumes us. –B]

I will not step over the line into Crazyland just to make someone else’s politics easier, or to assuage their guilt. No, Young Grasshopper; there is just the one word that matters, the one that encompasses everything, and you’re either for it or against it – liberty.
[First I recommend reading that post as it provides a solid reason why there is no difference between the two.
Second I find that line can be representative of more than just the difference in the primary referenced subjects. It easily applies to any and all civil rights, including the right to keep and bear arms.

Hmm, interesting, why wasn’t this covered in the 5 o’clock evening news? Why didn’t the media out all these folks who are obviously racist for their views of the NRA?
Could it be that people are using the racist label to shame those with opinions of which they differ? Could it be the racist flag is being thrown when someone doesn’t like the argument of the other and see it as an easy out? Or could it be that those people are honestly racist and think that anyone else must always be racist in their motives?
Plus, the NRA has thought of a cynical new way to make angry white guys more afraid of Black people with guns by encouraging people of color to arm themselves.
*blink* Seriously, I’m the racist here because I don’t have a problem with anyone being armed, yet Joan isn’t racist and is upset at the though of black people carrying weapons because it upsets her and her racist friends.
Look at the reaction by anti-gunners because Colion Noir decided to join with the NRA. Heck, look at the media in general (just google Colion Noir NRA and you’ll find pages of this type of garbage), their focus wasn’t on Colion’s message, or that he had been doing videos on his own for a long time, it was, “How dare the NRA have a black man come into it’s ranks, especially as any type of spokesman!?”
Seriously, who’s acting racist in this debate? Because the NRA doesn’t have any other members who are black, much less any black members of the board of directors? Could it be you cannot argue with facts and logic and you are upset that the NRA represents 4 million people of whom you wish to deprive them of their inalienable as well as constitutionally protected rights?
You all keep using that word in that way and honestly it’s going to be the same as every other abused adjective, devoid of meaning. You’ve labeled so many people terrorists no one really cares anymore. When we see a real terrorist you call us racist if they aren’t Christian or have a slightly darker skin color. Doesn’t matter he just tried to kill a bunch of people, we’re being racist if we label him a terrorist.
I’m seriously sick of this bullshit and hypocrisy. When I see a man, I see exactly that, a man, nothing more. He has his own ideas and character and if I call into question either of those things and his skin is a different color than my own I suddenly become racist?
And lets not forget about being called women haters and otherwise being disparaging towards women either; yet those who want to disarm women get a free pass when they say things like the following:
Not to mention the commentary by Joseph Salazar and the recommendation that women should just piss themselves to fend off attackers by the University of Colorado.
Seriously, WTF!? How am I the racist misogynist pig in this debate? How am I the person who hates women or those of a different race? How is it that my desire to have equal access to arms is a racist or misogynistic tendency? Someone explain to me how treating every individual as being an equal is treating them as being unequal. I don’t freaking see it and frankly I’m getting down right pissed at those telling me I am while claiming women should just lie back and think of England.
Because evidently it’s a misogynistic to prefer a woman standing over the cooling body of her attacker in an alley instead of lying brutally beaten and raped with her rapist running away to possibly never be caught.
Because evidently it’s racist to want minorities to have the same rights as everyone else. It’s racist to want those to have arms to defend themselves from the same threats any of us may face.
Why didn’t anyone tell me I was back in 3rd grade and it is opposite day?
