That's probably because not all gun owners are like that jackass Yeager.

But the top brass of the NRA and the GOP politicians in thier pocket are, unfortunately.
And thats what sad - At first the NRA was about protecting the rights of the people but it has now put serving the intrests of big money, instead of the interests of the people.

I missed it. What did she say?Just another powerful lobbyist group is all. Made up of gun manufacturers, suppliers, etc. So naturally they espouse what will benefit them monetarily.
In happier news, Hilary eviscerated Rand Paul at the Benghazi hearings. 2016 is coming, Mr. Paul, and Hilary is currently our most popular elected official, by a wide margin. History should have told the GOP that picking on a Clinton is not a smart idea.
A Nevada Republican arrested for voter fraud in the 2012 election, after claiming she was trying to test the system's integrity, pled guilty and accepted a plea deal Thursday, forcing her to pay almost $2,500 and promise to stay out of trouble.
Roxanne Rubin, 56, a casino worker on the Las Vegas Strip, was arrested on Nov. 3, 2012 after trying to vote twice, once at her poling site in Henderson and then at a second site in Las Vegas. The poll workers at the second site said that she had already voted, but Rubin said that she hadn't and insisted on casting a ballot, which the poll workers refused to allow her to do.
Rubin said that she was trying to show how easy it would be to commit voter fraud with just a signature. "This has always been an issue with me. I just feel the system is flawed," she told the AP Thursday. "If we're showing ID for everything else, why wouldn't we show our ID in order to vote?"
Rubin, like many Republicans, claim that the threat from voter fraud -- which is close to non-existent -- is why voter ID laws need to be in place. But Nevada has no voter ID law -- other than for first-time voters who didn't show ID when they registered to vote -- and she was caught anyway.
The prosecutor in the case said he knew of no other voters in Nevada or elsewhere arrested for voter fraud.
Democratic Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller, who has called for a photo ID law, slammed Rubin in a statement. "If Ms. Rubin was trying to demonstrate how easy it is to commit voter fraud, she clearly failed and proved just the opposite," he said.
Rubin's deal requires her to pay $2,481 to the state in restitution, complete 100 hours of community service, stay out of trouble and complete an impulse control course.
Looks like they're just trying to cover all the bases in case their gerrymandering attempts fail. The party has pretty much admitted that they can't win an election fair and square. After all, more people voted for Democrats than Republicans in 2012 for the Presidency, Senate and House (by a slim margin), and it's only because of gerrymandered districts that the House is Republican controlled.Republican sets out to show how easy it is to commit voter fraud, hoping that it will get support for Voter ID laws - instead shows that it's not as easy as some politicians say it is.
I don't know if you're entirely serious, but this kind of proposal would just create gridlock. At least that's how it seems to me.True - All the politicians care about is keeping their jobs, not making a better nation.
We really need a minimum approval rating or term limits for all.
Under the approval ratings, their pay would be linked to their ratings - the higher percentage their rating is, the more pay they get. If their rating is 80%, then they get 80% of their pay. Also, to this, should the ratings fall below... lets say, 40%, the their state would be allowed to automatically recall their represenatives and replace them with someone else.
Term limits, yes.True - All the politicians care about is keeping their jobs, not making a better nation.

Or for term limits, add term limits to congress and the senate like the presdiental seat has. To this, the limits would 4 and the presidental seat raised to that. However, they would count with each other - You serve three terms in congress/senate and one term as president and you can no longer run for either of those offices. Or one term congress/senate, three terms president. After that you can't run again. Additionally, in order to run for president, you'd have to have served at least one term in the congress/senate.
Or even better - use both plan.
He's quite the idiot. Also, a tea partier so... probably really bad with math.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/12/joe-walsh-child-support-unemployed_n_2665240.html
Irony - A conservative, touting fiscal and personal responsibility, can't pay his child support and is now asking for it to be reduced.
Essentially, he wants to not be held to his fiscal and personal responsibilities.
Even better - He says his job was terminated through no voluntary act of his own. This isn't the case - He wasn't reelected because he was going a ****** job - Essentially, he was fired. And he refuses to take responsibility, instead saying that he had nothing to do with getting fired.'
Even worse by the fact that he has condemned a lot of people because they couldn't pay the bills unless they got money from the government. Funny that now he is no longer getting money from the government, he can no longer pay his bills.
tl:dr, conservative who refuses to practice what he preached.
Okay okay I'll be the first one to post it:
I remember I also got my mouth completely dry during my job interview, but man, if you are a Senator and you still fall for this... XD
