Sadly, it's not about censoring freedom of speech. It's about those in power having the sense of responsibility to not inflame the public with rhetoric which encourages violence for their own political purposes. They won't, so it's a uselss call for them to do otherwise. Things have changed in this country, and I don't know if we can go backwards and reclaim our sense of decency and responsibility, especially as we have acts like this over and over, and politicians haven't learned a damn thing from them. But then, of course, they don't WANT to learn; those who most advocate violence are the ones who will be least targeted, I'll bet on it.
There haven't been any cries that I'm aware of for violence coming from the left--not by public figures anyway, and they're the ones who affect people. All the "Second Amendment remedies", "shoot 'em down" and target symbols have come from the right; the left needs to get their act together, too, unquestionably, but it's the right who've been pushing violence.

And there you have it.
Unsurprising to see our resident piece of shit siding with murder. Fuck you, Rappy.

That's not politics, I'm just sayin'. The vast majority of them die by guns.
Not calling you a liar, but I'd kind of like some evidence on that statement. Sometimes these phrases like "more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason" seem true, but actually aren't, not by a long shot. I'll admit the gun statement sounds plausible though. Violence with guns is probably more likely to result in death than violence sans guns.
I agree with Frem on this issue. A gun is a tool, just like a knife, or even big muscles and martial arts. A gun is a dangerous equalizer, and something I will probably never own, but I have a hard time believing we'd all be safer if they took them away. We'd probably just see more people getting stabbed, or harmed/killed by other means.

I don't see that in his post at all. If he wrote choose or perish, maybe. But, you'll see what you want...afterall you are an asshole.

"Seriously, how did you respond so fast? And don't say you got a notification, I do not think that feature has been working in quite some time."
I'm a fast reader b/c I don't need to sound out the letters. Difficult as that is for you to imagine b/c it's SO different from your personal experience, I know. It took me maybe 15 minutes to read down the entire thread - skipping PN's posts of course b/c they aren't worth the time.
"No problem, it was the least I could do for someone hanging on my every typed word."
I saw your precious little love note that out of the blue mentioned ME, BY NAME. If you hadn't done that - and frankly been so hilariously wrong so that I actually laughed out loud at you - I wouldn't even have responded.
So, what's this attraction you have for me ? After all these months you're still thinking of me ? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... wow, I must have made a far bigger impression on you than you ever did on me.

Knowing how you feel about 'libruls', and women, and guns - let me point out some inconvenient facts - it was an older inoffensive woman, a democrat, sans gun - who stopped the slaughter when she grabbed the clip as Loughner was reloading. Some unarmed democrat little old lady was the quick-thinking, courageous hero of the day.
If you can get your neurons working at all - think on that a spell.
Oh, and just b/c I can't resist pointing out what a turd you are: as I recall you were all ready to start the shooting when a black president gave a rather putrid form of health care to the 'undeserving' (your word) 'them' (your word). You are ALWAYS ready to call on guns as your solution of choice for every problem and ill. And NOW you are calling for reason and restraint ? Are you a coward ? All mouth about revolution but ready to shit yourself when actual shots are fired ?

Said by the person who just admitted earlier in the thread that they had never posted anything intelligent or worthwhile.
What makes you think anyone gives a shit what you have to say?
