Celebrity hive mind outraged by gun control vote

They are the mythical 90%! Bette Midler added a percentage point so I'm assuming we'll see 91% repeated soon.

Are they really unaware that we already have background checks? If we spammed them form 4473 on twitter all day long, would they get it then?

i would like to smack Rand Paul dead in his mouth.

I don't know who that broad is, but what did he do? He didn't get to filibuster it. Was it his accurate props crack?

C'mon, this is ridiculous anymore.

There are two Amerikas now, totally divided, with no common ground or "compromise" possible.

Separate...let the "left" go and congregate in the one party ruled states, let us "freedom folks" go our way as well.

Leave them free to pursue their safety society or whatever the hell it is they want to do.

Leftists claim gun owners are violent. They are just scared because the leftists themselves are violent. They're always the ones joking about killing somebody or whatever. They're the fucking dangerous ones, which is more of a reason to have a gun, so when they turn into a full-out commiezombie, well you know the rest..

This is why having the STATES enact these stupid laws is good. It will help divide the country physically as well as politically. It is hard to break off a geographic area when the population is so mixed up. We need some interstate migration.

Savor the sweetness of their tears. Savor their angry bitterness about your ability to defend yourself against their proxies with lethal force. And remember that because they will never stop being afraid, the rabbits will never stop trying to defang the wolves.

The sweetness of their tears
http://voxday.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-sweetness-of-their-tears.html


Savor the angry tears shed by the forcible disarmament fetishists at the New York Times. Not even their constant waving of the false and bloody flag of Newton was enough to sway the American people into volunteering another step towards giving government a monopoly on gun violence.
[...]
Their impotent rage oozes from every sentence in the article. It was one thing for Americans to ignore Hispanic drug dealers and black youths killing each other in their ethnic enclaves, and to spare no sympathy for white, middle-aged men shooting themselves in despair over their unemployment and divorces, but this involved cute little children, kindergarteners no less, and white ones at that! About the only way to tug more effectively at America's heartstrings would have been to advertise slaughtered puppies, kittens, and bunnies.

And America shed a few tears, collectively wiped at their eyes, then stood up and said: "Fuck you, we're still not letting you take our guns, you totalitarian bastards."

No wonder they're upset. Americans aren't falling for the emotional pornography anymore. Now they'll have no choice but to go for the brute force option and they know they aren't assured of winning that way. After all, there are a lot more of us than there are of them.

Molon labe.

[Spikender]

Perhaps these "90%" and up statistics are true; after all, I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of Americans each of these clowns knows supports this stupid crap.

As for us in the real world... I somehow think that number is a might lower.

Why isn't it terrorism when we indiscriminately bomb and "liberate" other countries but it is when some Granny quotes the Constitution?

Why is it okay for a couple of cops to go crazy and shoot at a vehicle because they THINK a criminal is in it but if I shoot a single warning shot into the ground to scare a criminal off of my property I get my guns taken away from me?

Well, that part I agree with. Though, we already know where an attempt at separation will ultimately lead. Because of that, it will never be more than mental masturbation for bombastic patriots such as yourself.

[enjerth]

Are there Hollywood exceptions in the gun bill?

Like, have any of these celebs, who may star in an action flick, suffered from any mental illness which would disqualify them from possessing a firearm on screen?

Is Hollywood going to be prohibited from obtaining >N round magazines for firefight sequences where they display the massive firepower of an endless magazine anyways?

Or do we allow the depiction of illegal firearms and illegal magazines in films and let them have a pass because they NEED it?

If I don't need it, I don't think Hollywood needs it, either. I don't think there should be any exceptions if they're clamoring for gun control.

And what about the stinkers coming out of Hollywood these days? Is there anything worth watching? Shouldn't there be laws to keep stupid crap out of theaters? We don't NEED your stinking entertainment.

He didn't say anything about war. And why don't you stop issuing directives all the time? You're always telling people what to think and say and do and what is and what isn't. What a nag!

It's irreconcilable and inevitable anyway. Better a peaceful, amicable divorce now than to go all War of the Roses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Roses_%28film%29) on each other later.

But I'm afraid I'll still be faced with a false f'n choice between economic statism and social statism (with police statism everywhere). Like AF always says...people don't want to be free. And they don't want to leave other people alone either. Americans are mostly bossy and nagging and controlling...like KN!

AZ was never even considered because the population is so large and there are so few liberty activists in the US.Considering how few movers there have been to the 2 projects, around 1100 in NH and maybe a 100 in WY, excluding AZ from the choices was 100% the right thing to do. It is also very good that WY lost to NH since it gets what looks like less than 1 mover for every 10 movers NH gets.

I would agree with not choosing Arizona. Although it has some libertarian leanings (super gun laws AND moving in the right direction on pot, for example) it does have a large population. It also has some border issues that would complicate any secession movement.

But I think Idaho has NH beat.

I see some good things about ID. I think it lost for a lot of reasons. It is to a large extent, owned by the federal government. It has a very large religious fanatic population. More than any other state, it has a reputation of white supremacist movers (something some FSPers wanted to stay far away from), the state is dry, it doesn't have any major cities and it only arguably near 1 major city. The lack of jobs. For example, with NH and DE, their are tons of jobs available in areas that are easy to commute to. Not so with ID. Also, people preferred the other 2 Mountain West states much more. I guess the other major downside is that it has both the largest populations of the 10 states that were considered, and the fastest growing population of the 10 states that were considered.

Looking back at it, obviously, pretty much everyone thought (at least up until this point) it was a bad choice. An organization started (by folks that split from the FSP after the which state vote) to encourage people to move to WY, MT and ID. It was called the Free West Alliance. Of the 3 state branches, the ID branch, if you could call it that, was the least active. In fact, I'd love to see evidence that even a single liberty activist moved to ID as part of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_West_Alliance

On the other hand, around 100 moved to WY (though, many of them aren't activists or even liberty folks as neither of those is a requirement for the WY project) as part of the project there and around 1100 moved to NH as part of the FSP. So clearly, up until this point, if you judge by just liberty activists moving, the FWA ID was a complete failure and ID isn't popular at all as a destination for liberty activists.

I know a guy in NH that says he knows of white supremacists that like some aspects of liberty that are moving to northern ID, so I guess ID has that going for it. The top expert that I know of in the Strategic Relocation business claims parts of ID are the best area in the US to move to as for as Strategic Relocation (nothing related to liberty) goes. Though, the same guy says that the Northern NH area and the parts of ME and VT that border it, are the best location in the Northeast for Strategic Relocation so NH does very well (though not as well as ID) in that area, also.
