Dang if you didn’t fool me — and I suspect quite a number on folk both side of the current debate.

Dan, I believe the word you are looking for is “deflection”. It is a lot easier to call you an “obsessive” than to admit the idiocy you pointed out in neon is a problem.

BobH,

There are some posters here who absolutely are obsessed with guns. I’m not not one of them.

The only qualification to get a job as a columnist for the RT (non sports) is to be a liberal.

No, I am happy to say I would not qualify.

The obsession with guns drove this columnist to get a CCP when he didn’t even have a gun.

Off the deep end……

Sorry, Frank, Dan’s blog proves there is right-wing idiocy in and immediately around Roanoke. Heck, Ralph Smith was once mayor of Roanoke. Until he “moved” 59 times to get elected.

Sandi,

“is there a place on earth free from right-wing idiocy?”

Yep. Detroit. Chicago. New York. L.A. San Francisco. Washington, D.C. Roanoke. and on, and on, and on, and, so forth.

Kristen:

“The difference between guns and drunk driving is that no one’s out flogging for drunk driving.”

Guns can be carried responsibly or irresponsibly, legally or illegally. Drunk driving is always irresponsible and illegal. Not ever sure how that was supposed to be comparable.

Hey dan,what kind of test do you take to buy booze? The dmv wont give you a permit to drive a car just because you turn 21. and look at all the deaths and lives ruined by booze. whay more than guns ever has. yet you write nothing about it.
