9. I have a mental illness and I hope this comes to pass. 

 I don't have and don't want a gun. I don't care if anyone else has a gun for legal means and are mentally stable but I want to be kept safe from myself. I do have sound judgment 99.9% of the time but when I get into a suicidal state (from severe depression) I don't want access to things that could kill me. I want safety. One thing less - it would help me.

So whats his point?

Well, studies do show that conservative republicans are a heck of a lot happier than liberal democrats, who seem depressed most of the time.  So this might explain why democrats don't want access to guns...to lower their chances of committing suicide.

In that case, guns for all, they should be issued with your SS#

These loons freaking vote!

Ever watch Family Guy?  The dog, Brian, is a liberal democrat.  He keeps a bottle of hard liquor and a gun in his bank lock box for the day he decides to off himself.

it's pretty easy to find extremist wackjob statements from people on all message boards.

I heard on getbigger today claim Obama was born in Hawaii.  What a sucker.  People believe anything.

When I stop and think about it, most of the liberals I know are always on meds for depression, and complaining about everything.  And the conservatives that I know are relatively happy and easy going. Never thought of that until just now, then spent ten minutes or so comparing the 2.

[Brixtonbulldog]

what about the pot-smoking libs.. they seem pretty happy.

they're dumb as a post and unable to run a lemonade stand, but happy nontheless.

Rush did a memorable piece on how conservative republicans are more depressed and overweight than their lib counterparts.  He blamed in it upon stress from actually giving a shit, and worrying about the future of the country - wearing it as a badge of pride.

Now, conservapedia suger coats everything and claims Repubs aren't overweight like libs...

i dunno... They also claim republicans are "not complaining, and instead taking practical action to improve one's situation"... and no offence, but libs (whiny bitches in their own right) tend to be outshined by the whole "i'm a victim" mentality from the GOP in the last 2 years.  how many times can a person be offended by a word from a pvt conversation?

I've never understood the whole liberal opposition to owning a gun. Yes, I think there should be thorough background checks and possibly even a psychological profile of some sort. But what exactly does a liberal expect someone to do if their home is invaded by thugs ? Say something like this ?...."Hi fellas, you appear to be from the inner city and I can certainly empathize with your plight since society has been so unjust to your people. Please feel free to take all my stuff..you can even rape and sodomize my wife if you'd like. I don't own a gun, of course because like all ridiculous liberals I believe one should simply let themselves be robbed and murdered. God knows.. me being a white man, I certainly owe you and your friends for all the years of abusing your civil rights. Anyone who tries to defend themselves is only being a racist." Of course, the Bro's would shoot him anyways.

I've yet to see one person - lib or otherwise - who has experienced a violent crime who is still against personal ownership of firearms.

anyone who's lived in the Valley his/her whole life, enjoyed a gated community and a private high school... and who is against gun ownership... Move your ass to Detroit and live there for a year in a shitty neighborhood, and tell us you still don't wanna carry a gun.

Ask TA - he has some brilliant thoughts on this.   I think lat time he said he would use a lamp or some shit to defend himself.

I remember that thread. He said he would gladly give the robber his money..I guess if that didn't work he'd strap on that Anti-gravity suit he claims to have invented and float away to safety.

I'm not going to read much into one loony who things about offing himself.  That's not much of a valid case for banning guns lol...  Dude wants to do it, there are several hundred ways he could go about it.  He's just using his issues to attack the 2nd...  There is no weight behind that.

I thought I was funny reading it and hoping it wasnt Blacken TBH.   He has been awfully silent lately.

Last week, when I went to do the class for my concealed weapons permit, there were several thuggish looking guys there with Do rags and underwear sticking out of the pants.. who could barely string an intelligable sentence together. So...it is kind of scary to see some of the types that will be legally allowed to carry a weapon. I heard one of these guys on their cell phone afterward saying, "Yo, yo..guess what sucka..I'se gonna be strapped  and I'se gonna be legit."
