British Expats - 2016 Election

Just goes to show how daft and lying anti-gun politicians become whenever there's a routine mass shooting. The least they could do is tell the truth about the assault weapons used and not exaggerate their deadliness.

I think lying has become so natural to her she could not tell the truth if she wanted to.

The only statistic I care about is that each of the twenty dead six-year-old children had between three and eight bullets in his/her body. That tells me that whatever type of weapon Lanza was using, he was able to fire far too many rounds, far too rapidly.

It's a dumb geek response to an argument -- instead of focusing on the obvious problem that this guy used guns to murder 27 people, they want to focus on "automatic."

Hillary focussed on it, and I am certain it was not accidental.

On a more general comment do you want people having no knowledge of a subject, whatever that subject is, being the ones making policy on it?

Geez. Last time I bought a car I had to prove I had insurance and a license and then I had to register the car with the local government.

Odd, they just wanted my money.

But nobody checked your sobriety?

Odd that there are any guns manufactures and dealers in the US. Reading this thread, you'd have thought they would have all gone out of business long before they were given immunity from liability suits in 2005.

Yep, She also recently said average US gas prices are $1.90 per gallon, but statistics show it's actually $1.88. Clear evidence of a pathological liar, unfit for office. If I could vote, I'd be forced to choose a candidate with integrity, like Trump.
