In that case, enroll yourself in alternative education now or learn how to make a noose. If that's too hard for you to learn (which I wouldn't doubt), find the nearest bridge and make use of it.

oh god, i honestly feel sorry for you.


obama's support of "microstamping ammunition" sounds like it would help solve crime.  instead its sneaky and would raise the cost of ammunition by an estimated 500%.  effectively making it too expensive to purchase ammunition.

obama supported a ban to close all gun stores within 5 miles of a park or school....sounds like it would protect children.  instead its sneaky and effectively closes 90+% of gun stores in america.  take a map of your city and draw a 5 mile perimeter around ALL parks and schools, then tell me how much land is left.  (in the same state senate session he DID NOT support a ban to close all porn stores within 5 miles of a park or school)

im sure you also noticed how crime decreased during clinton's AWB and increased after the bill sunsetted.  oh wait, so-called "assault weapons" are used in less than 1% of crime according to the FBI.  and the AWB focused on cosmetic features.  once again, sounded all fancy, did absofuckinglutely nothing.

a 50-caliber rifle has NEVER ONCE been used in a crime in the United States.  sound don't give me bullshit about bigbore ammunition either.

if you're not aware wordsofwizdom is one of the most unintelligent and awfully spoken people to ever grace the face of this earth, let alone NS.  the kid is a joke; actually might be an alias.

if you're going to rub it in fine but please don't scapegoat a moron.  if you want to hear the response of a republican scan back a page kid.

Link to sources of ACTUAL bills and legislation?

I'm trying to dig more on this, but the ONLY sources I'm getting are gun shops with EXTREMELY high bias.

so i'm watching all of this, and i'm pretty much telling my homework to fuck off. i'm not being a whiney college student, but this is a lot more important to me and historical than the fact that i'm going to fail my biology test tomorrow.
i'm nooooot saying that the world has to stop over this, but i don't get why i can't get a little lee-way.

when i'm 80 i'm gonna tell my grandkids about this, i won't tell them that i sucked in all my classes, but i saw something that had never been done before.

anyways, i'm ranting and bitching and i think my only hw assignment should be to watch this. word.

outright ban on handguns

reinstate clinton's AWB

five miles of park or school


here's a bunch more.  it's on a site by the NRA-ILA, so you obviously know their bias.  but before anyone gets all hissy about that, realize this page is providing links to actual voting records, interviews, etc.

Chris Rock: Everybody is talking about gun control. Got to control the guns. Fuck, that, I like guns. If you've got a gun, you don't need to work out! Cause, I ain't working out. I ain't jogging. No, I think we need some bullet control. I think every bullet should cost five thousand dollars. Five thousand dollars for a bullet. Know why? Cos if a bullet cost five thousand dollars, there'd be no more innocent by-standers. That'd be it. Some guy'd be shot you'd be all 'Damn, he must've done something, he's got fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his ass!' And people'd think before they shot someone 'Man I will blow your fucking head off, if I could afford it.

what kind of secret information does CNN possess?

for wisconsin, it says obama over mccain 51% to 48%, and so gives the state to obama.  but only 11% of precincts reporting?

and for west virgina, it says mccain over obama 55% to 44%, and so gives the state to mccain.  but only 44% of precincts reporting.  this is a little more believable, but how do they know the other 56% of precincts won't all go obama, and sway those electoral votes over to obama?  i swear they're making shit up.

I think this is the third time I've had to explain this in this thread. It's not how much of the vote is in... it's where the vote that's in is from. If you have Obama winning by a small margin areas that McCain should be winning by 6-7 points, you know that Obama is going to win the state, because when pro-democratic areas come in they're going to go heavily for him. It's precincts plus exit polls that allow these guys to call races. For example, Miami Dade is currently 60-40 Obama. It was 55-45 for Gore and Kerry over Bush. That extra 5% is enough to flip the state, and combined with all the other info they're getting out of that state regionally, they should be able to call it pretty soon.

Well you got me there. Your party did a VERY shitty job though, especially by discrediting all their sites by making them as reputable looking as a 3rd grader's.

Either way though, we are the only "developed" nation with low gun control standards, and countries with more control aren't falling apart.

Gun control is a non-issue in my opinion. It's highly publicized and debated, but means little to the majority.

mccain has always put his country first, Im not sure that obama has done the same. Obama is obviously going to win. Congratulations to him and I hope that he can actually bring the change he has talked about.

i told you not to get your panties in a wad over who made the site.  but you did.  you asked for links to the articles, and that i provided.  i asked you to simply to look at where it linked you.  it made a statement, and pointed you to reputable sites such as "www.senate.gov" to back up the statement.  the fact that you were distracted by the graphics....shows a lot about yourself.
