Apparently there is an organization called the National Association for Gun Rights. This organization fights hard for the rights of guns. They make sure that guns can get housing, a decent education, employment and a voice in the legislature. They also make sure that each gun has an owner so that they don’t feel lonely. When a mad, bad human uses a gun to kill lots of other humans, the Association is quick to come to the defense of the gun, blaming the human and encouraging more guns.
It is organizations like the National Association of Gun Rights that makes America truly the greatest nation on Earth. After all, how can a society ever be called developed, sophisticated, civilized or cultured if the rights of guns are not protected?
That being said, how do you stop a bad guy with a gun? Dismantle the industrial military complex that makes them and ban the NRA which promotes them. Then get rid of the second amendment. If you don’t agree with that, pack an AK-47 into your children’s lunch box, drive them to school in an armored Hummer and employ Chuck Norris to give them lessons on the importance of empathy.

I realize that this is sarcasm but I have to take exception to the slur on Chuck Norris.
I have known him personally and he is the absolute most straight arrow person I have ever known. I have never known him to say a negative thing about anyone, not even those who deserved it. I’m talking about people who have cheated him in business dealings, or taken advantage of his friendship. He refuses to say bad things about them, he just dismisses it and moves on.
It’s true, I feel it is wrong on hi9s issues of religion and teaching it in public schools. But his is open and sincere about it and doesn’t try to hide it behind code words and euphemisms. That’s something I respect and what separates him from the herd of religious reich wackos.

Hi James. I don’t think even Chuck would consider this a defaming comment. He has become emblematic of the good guy who wins and takes out the bad guy. He symbolic of the very phrase of truth, justice, and the America way. I personally think he could have done without the facelift, but that’s part of his business. As much as Admire a lot about him, especially hanging out with Christy Brinkley, he and I disagree a great deal politically.

I don’t know about him having had a face lift. I haven’t heard that. I know he did have hip replacement surgery in 2009. Not from a fall but from damage done in years of martial arts exercises. Bill Wallace, one of the legends of full-contact fighting has had both hips replaced for the same reason. Bill did even more extreme things than Norris, so I am not surprised. I have trained with both and know they were either secretly into pain or lacked nerve endings that I had.
As far as a face lift, he would hardly be the first actor to do that bu a long shot, if he did. As he has more or less retired from acting, I can’t see him doing it.
He does have a toupee, though. A pretty good one, too.
I doubt he is still doing the commercials with Christy. I did own a total gym, though and it was as advertised. I even paid extra to get a more rugged model than the one shown on TV. When I moved to Brazil in 2003, I have it to a friend who says he is still using it.

I think the use of Chuck Norris’ name was little more than a euphemism employed to make the point about compassion. Let’s face it James, not a lot of us know Chuck personally, but what we know is his onscreen, not off screen persona. Bill Formby is a big fan by the way

Brilliant my man and allow me to say hear, hear! While a big fan of America, I don’t live in America, and us dedicated Aussies call the States’ gun proliferation the “American disease.”

My gun crazy neighbor takes his Glock to church with him. I guess he figures his gun also has the right to worship. What a fucked up mess this gun thing is….

At first I thought the whole concept of a National Association for Gun Rights was pure satire. Guess not. Good piece. I think now I’ll ask my Remington Pump if she has a response. First amendment and all ya know

Good post. I don’t have any guns but if I had one I would be appreciative of this group speaking out for them.

Ironic that the National Association of Gun Rights acronym (NAGR) would be pronounce “nagger.” Sorta fits.
It’s time to amend the Constitution…to overhaul the 2nd amendment to eliminate all vestiges of the “well organized militia” and the implication that armed citizens should overthrow a “tyrannical” federal government. In the roughly quarter millennium since this language was written, things have changed, and so the Constitution should evolve to keep up.

I say we repeal the Second Amendment but know that’s never going to happen with the gang in the congress and the WH today. I also don’t know what it would take to do so but I know that this single amendment is responsible for killing more people than all our wars combined. Guns. Fucking guns everywhere in a country where, if old enough to drink you’re old enough to own a concealable weapon. How messed up is that dudes?

You libs have no business in the constittution of america. We can have all the guns we want and should becauze Obama is a nigger muslim who wants to make us all like germans. The 2 amenment is what gives us the right to do what we need to do with guns and nobody can fuck with us on that.

I’m not a bit surprised by you lad. Ignorant, uneducated, and clueless. Have a nice day.

I guess we shall see. At one time, racism and slavery were also the law of the land. And guess what? They were ended with a Constitutional amendment. Amendment #13 to be exact. And the rebels who opposed that change with violence? Well, we all know how THAT turned out — that’s right, with an African-American president.

Surprise, we are going to fuck with you on that.
Your post is a troll or else a poe. Either way, it’s a classic exhibition of the ignorance and hate that has brought people like you to defeat so many times in the past.

Where did this fellow come from? Oh I know, probably the south, like Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Lousiana, and etc. Yep. No doubt. Wager anyone?

That was to Tommy Lee, I think I should have put the @ Tommy Lee before it. It is difficult to tell isn’t it? The Reply link only indents once, although that is better than having an increasingly narrow text box as I have see elsewhere.
There’s a programming project for someone. Make the Reply link automatically insert @ in the reply box.
No, I have no ability to even consider doing that. Besides, that’s detail work. I only establish general policy. At least that’s what I tell my other half.
