I hate guns but I heard this quote and it made me reconsider:  "Guns are like parachutes ... If you need one and don't have one, you'll likely never need one again." 

Great quote. I can understand why a squirrel would hate guns.

Oh, somebody had a report of the meth trade within ISIS. 

My plan, to weed out the ISIS wipes coming to America, is to sell meth tainted with rat poison. 

Come on, that's a more practical approach.  Who needs the US Government?

Might accidentally leak over into honest god fear drug smugglers who are keeping this sham of an economy afloat. Not a good idea.

But I am all for shooting meth addicts on the spot.

Nite all.  Brain tumor causing more pain.

Why don't you STFU . . . ?

Well, if you put it that that way... You got pwned!

[JamesMcDonald]

You're absolutely right about that. But in my opinion funding some guy to go whack the people he hates at his holiday party isn't a good investment. I have no doubt this guy was a wacky Muslim but were hardcore ISIS boogeymen involved? Outside of this guy maybe watching some ISIS video in between tentacle porn, I don't think so.

ISIS works in mysterious ways.

By the way, reports are that the Joint terrorism task force is now investigating.

Terrorism has been here, Art!

The OKC bombing. Health clinics torched and health care workers murdered. It's been here for a long time.

Telling that you ignore the UW bombing, the SLA stuff, the Islamic Center in DC, 911, the first attempt on the WTC, the Cubans (on both sides) the environmentalist terrorism, etc etc. Interesting, when I made the point that terrorism is nothing new here I mentioned ALL of it- not just "the white folks!" Funny.

Cool call. China is a weird and interesting place.

AK74s
    It’s already pretty hard to get one’s hands on one of these things. If Obama keeps beating the “too easy to get weapons” drum, he’s an idiot. Chances are, these came from overseas, illegally, and were imported by the terrorists.
    It pretty much shows that the terrorists were foreign. There are better guns- more accurate, more easy to get ammo, and easier to get in the US- than this one.
    The [San Bernadino attackers] must have trained on these, so even if they did get them here (not impossible), they did so because of their training abroad. (For example, the AR-10 is more accurate, has a longer range, and is about the same price).

Brought this point up hours ago in the shooting thread.

[trostol]

why do so many people want bear arms...is there something special about them? are they stronger? furrier?

It has to be said. Armed squirrels are a frightening idea.

Dude we don't even like slingshots.

still on the line

[zeebo]

No worries, we prefer to battle with our wits.  A nice game of chess or such.

[QuantumMystics]

The fucking idiots at CNN were speculating for hours that the shooters would be white, male, right wing extremists... because they didn't blow themselves up.  LOL

Here's CNN....

[JamesMcDonald]

Cool call. China is a weird and interesting place.

I liked it.  But the air sucks.  Like this dude says, the traffic is disgusting.  They drive like drunken crackheads.

And the air??  What air!  Apparently one day of breathing the air in Beijing is equivalent to smoking 40 cigarettes.  Bad news.

[WanagoBleu]

We need to get a massive supply of arctic chaaga out to the world asap.  And a few "hu's" wouldn't hurt.

+1

[albrecht]

Dude we don't even like slingshots.

I hope your lot will forgive me for my youth. I never was a good shot, at least, but, specifically, my tin-foil wrapped bbs in the sling-shot might have caused you some harm!

[zeebo]

Nite all.  Brain tumor causing more pain.   

Jeez man, take care bro.

for fucks sake....lol...this guy is on! LOL

Guns vs. no guns...gets kind of boring after awhile.  I'm in training with an Akido stick.  If the first bullet doesn't drop me then your left knee is powder.  So take that! LOL

werd!

[Bradsmith313]

Yeah I found a guy who's a Century 21 real estate agent, and he's also a member of a right-wing neo-Nazi biker gang who's leader and other members were arrested on weapons and explosives charges by the FBI. They planned on poisoning water supplies, blowing up buildings, and robbing banks. I reported it to Century 21 and they don't give a flying fuck. Nice huh? I also forwarded the info to the Poverty Law Center and some Gov't organizations.

I have those guys practically in my backyard . . . .

[JamesMcDonald]

I have no doubt this guy was a wacky Muslim but were hardcore ISIS boogeymen involved? Outside of this guy maybe watching some ISIS video in between tentacle porn, I don't think so.

Reports coming out that the suspects were reportedly wearing GoPro cameras.

Uh, yeah dude, you might be wrong.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

These callers are an example of why I place my economic investments and bets on the demise of the United States.

[zeebo]

Cool call. China is a weird and interesting place.

The "China loves Obama" line cracked me up (note: I say that with complete neutrality politically).

[North_Star]

"Bear arms"? I thought it was "bare arms" as in "Hey, look at those guns!"

[21st Century Man]

So this caller thinks we should focus on the arts rather than defend our country.  He's got his head in the sand.  Idiot.

[Coffeeman]

I'd say two pack is about right. A couple of years ago all that smog from China got swept up with a massive dis storm and hit Tokyo. It looked and smelt like a giant wet fart for two days.
