I'm not the hugging type. I dont classify you because you dont agree with me..... lot of people here dont agree with me and i dont label them liberals. I certainly do not claim to be the "conservative voice" on this forum... especially since i do not even claim to be a conservative.Originally Posted by simontibbett
Well not that I care to be called a liberal I just think its funny you always point someone out as a liberal if they see things a tad different. I think gun opinions are the big thing on if you determine someone as a liberal.
No hugs? You gay.
if you're anti gun..... at all.... you're on my shit list.
Typical of a liberal to not understand that stance.
I'll try to explain it to you in a way that you might be more likely to understand.......
If the government said they wanted to ban ordering a cosmo at a heterosexual bar, i would also stand up against that ban. Even though banning cosmos would have zero effect on my life because i dont drink them, i still understand that the government is taking something from someone who enjoys it without justification for doing so. If they think they can take your freedom, they will think they can take my freedom. "an attack on anyone's freedom is an attack on everyone's freedom" The 2nd amendment being attacked is extra significant, because in essence, it is the amendment to defend all amendments. Once it falls, you're a pet.
So when you say to me "i support an assault weapons ban" what i hear is "i support the government banning something without justification as long as its not something that has an effect on my life"
and when you think that.....
i think you're a bitch.
One of these is the american people and one is the government. Which one you think you are is a pretty clear way to find out if you're a liberal.

The key here is "without justification". You may not agree with the justification, but it doesn't mean there is none. On this particular subject, I happen to be closer to your side but I can still understand why others feel differently.
This assumes a false dichotomy. Not everyone sees the American Government and the American people as two distinctly different entities.
Assault rifles are less than a 1/2 of a percent of criminal activity in america. If that .5% is all the justification the government needs..... then god help us all.
NEWS FLASH: I DON'T SUPPORT AN ASSAULT WEAPON BAN NOR DO I SUPPORT ANY GUN BANS.Typical of a liberal to not understand that stance.
