“asked him for license and registration. He told him that it was in his wallet, but he had a pistol on him because he’s licensed to carry. The officer said don’t move. As he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in the arm four or five times.”
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
But what if non-white people have guns? When was the last time NRA and associates defended their right to guns?EDIT: The statistics in this article are thought provoking.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36732908?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook

Life for the sake of life means nothing.

And the average age has dropped to around 40 - 45 and is comprised of 23% Democrats.I can provide a link if requested, but I found these numbers on Ammoland.com and that site is so right wing it makes my skin crawl. These numbers seem to be gathered by Friends of NRA.

NRA is big on open carry and concealed carry but when was the last time they defended a gun owner that had been shot (or otherwise bothered) by police for carrying a gun BUT also happened to be black?
Quote from: dpareja on July 07, 2016, 07:57:35 pmAt this point, I don't think there's any amount of money someone could give me to get me to go to the US. The police are out of control and even though I'm the palest guy I know, I'd be afraid for my life if I even thought I saw a cop.With hate crime skyrocketing, fascist parties gaining popularity, austerity measures, and anti-labour bills I'm be afraid Europe is gonna start looking like the US pretty soon.

I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.
