  - "The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again" by RobVG 2012-12-19 10:19:31
    - The best contribution the NRA could make is to quit contributing to political candidates. by ER 2012-12-19 13:29:25

      - Well, somebody is going to have to speak for the gun owners. by MaryAnne 2012-12-19 16:03:10
        
        As a gun owner myself... by ER 2012-12-19 21:23:31
        
        I was going to get into game theory as it applies to politics, but you know... by MaryAnne 2012-12-19 22:13:18
        
        I agree Mary Anne. by Jody 2012-12-20 06:06:15
        
        OK. by MaryAnne 2012-12-19 22:05:07
        
        Do we really have a problem with gun-owners not sharing their opinions? by alcaray 2012-12-19 19:58:08
        
        Do we really want to get into a situation where they believe they have no input? by MaryAnne 2012-12-19 20:13:12
        
        I can't imagine this country without a gun lobby. It will never happen. by alcaray 2012-12-19 20:51:47
        
        There are very few decisions being made in this country now except emotional ones. by TB 2012-12-19 19:21:29

- CurrentVents?? Outstanding play on words Sir Robert. by Jody 2012-12-20 18:36:36
So, is it still always like this, or is this a special party because I came back? by MaryAnne 2012-12-20 17:16:07

    - Calling someone a liar has nothing to do with what the callee knows. by alcaray 2012-12-21 13:00:43

        Presenting conflicting evidence is the right way to do it. by alcaray 2012-12-21 13:04:24
        
        At some point, "conflicting evidence" has to be sorted out to eliminate the conflict. by TB 2012-12-21 13:15:18
        
        Well sure. But the discussion is really about something else. by alcaray 2012-12-21 14:57:46
        
        Probably different bodies of knowledge, tempered by different life experiences. by MaryAnne 2012-12-21 11:13:32
