We saw how well that worked out in the movie. All it took was for someone who wished to abuse it gaining the power necessary to do so, you know?majorspark;1393227 wrote:

Was trying to by ammo today. I had to call 15 different places in the Akron-Canton area in order to find the very common .22 cal ammunition. Love that a few psycho's have to make life a pain in the ass for a law abiding citizens such as me.
Anyways, if the opportunity comes up, I recommend giving your business to this guy near Canton: http://www.yellowpages.com/canton-oh/mip/freedom-gun-shop-470850166
Even with the extreme demand, he charged me a fair price. -

It's somewhat interesting that pro athletes don't share the same sense of grossly inflated self-importance. Maybe it's a result of not having as much free time, until they retire when nobody much cares about them any more. -

It just doesn't make sense to me. I mean if his (Carrey) claims were rooted in reality I could support his right to an opinion but you can just hear in his posts how out of touch he is and that he thinks he is smarter than everyone. What doesn't make sense to me is the fact that he is losing fans and movie goers to push an ideal that isn't rooted in reality. I personally don't boycott musicians/actors/directors/producers/writers work because I would rarely go to the movies or listen to music but I've read A LOT of tweets telling him they won't go see his movies or buy the dvds from now on.

I always think it's funny that people give a shit what entertainers think about anything. They are famous for entertaining, not being smart. And I do think it's kinda funny when the entertainers don't understand their audience at all and fuck up their golden ticket.

Yes, I concur with all of this. It's part of why I don't think Twitter is as good as others do. I don't care what celebrities think what so ever. I followed Jim Carrey in hopes that he would be Jim Carrey not a political pundit. The Dixie Chicks are great a example of the second part of your post. They disappeared quick.FatHobbit;1414658 wrote:I always think it's funny that people give a shit what entertainers think about anything. They are famous for entertaining, not being smart.

Michael Moore bringing the comedy: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/27/michael-moore-guns-what-are-white-people-afraid-of/
He refers to Japan as a country who always turns "to violence to solve their problems."
Japan has been used recently as one of the nations that demonstrates an example of a peaceful nation with stricter gun laws, Mike.
Also, he claims that "90% of all weapons in the nation are owned by whites who live in rural areas."
If that's true, then it's quite remarkable that the rural areas aren't just oozing with the highest crime rates and gun violence rates in the nation, provided we believe that the presence of guns causes the violence.
Dear lord, please tell me this is some sort of satirical article. It can't be serious. -

http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/134843.html#more-134843"We're working on a project to document the nationwide impact of gun violence, and we need your help," explained the Huffington Post editorial collective in an e-mail to their "readers in Idaho." "If you or someone you know has ever been affected by gun violence, we want to hear your story."
Eagerly accepting their invitation, I sent them the following account of gun violence, which they will almost certainly decline to use.
Dear Huffington Post:
My name is William Grigg, and I’m a resident of Payette, Idaho. I wish to share with you an infuriating story illustrating the impact of gun violence on two people who are quite close to me. What is particularly infuriating is the fact that the perpetrators and their whereabouts are known to authorities, but nothing has been done to punish them.
Michael Gibbons, known as “Bear,” and his wife Marcella Cruz are organic farmers who live in a tiny village called Letha, Idaho. Last August 16 Marcella was dragged out of her home by an armed stranger who left the small, slender woman covered in bruises. Bear was treated in much the same way, suffering a severe back injury that left him unable to harvest their fall crop. While the two were held at gunpoint, several armed men invaded their home in the hope of stealing their property. They eventually lost tens of thousands of dollars as a result of that armed invasion of their property, which was carried out by the Gem County Sheriff’s Office.
The August 16 attack on Bear and Marcella was triggered by a malicious false report of “domestic violence” by an antagonistic neighbor. A few days earlier, the same sheriff’s office had responded to a legitimate domestic violence call in the same neighborhood involving an armed, drunken husband. In that case, they sent a single deputy and a social worker, and allowed the husband to leave without being handcuffed or otherwise humiliated. In the case of Bear and Marcella, however, the Sheriff staged a SWAT-style raid in which the supposed victim was assaulted by a Deputy (Detective Rich Perecz, who has a previous violent offense in his criminal record), Bear was handcuffed, and an illegal search of the home was made in the hope of finding narcotics evidence that could be used as an excuse to forfeit (that is, steal) the property.
Why were Bear and Marcella singled out for such abusive treatment? According to recorded radio traffic among the deputies, the paramilitary raid was carried out because Bear had been politically profiled as a “Constitutionalist” – which meant that in the interests of “officer safety,” SWAT tactics would be employed. Although the illegal search didn’t turn up a molecule of evidence that either Bear or Marcella was growing or trafficking marijuana, Bear was eventually cited for possession of drug “
araphernalia” – an old coffee can.
By any rational definition of the expression, this criminal assault was an example of “gun violence” of a kind that advocates of civilian disarmament rarely, if ever, protest. By one estimate, as many as 80,000 SWAT raids take place in the United States every year --or about 220 a day. Almost all of them are carried out against non-violent offenders, many of whom are terrified, innocent people like Bear and Marcella. And those atrocities are committed by the people to whom the Huffington Post editorial collective, and like-minded civilian disarmament advocates, would give a monopoly on firearms ownership.

He had to be extra frustrated over the fact that he lost Democratic votes. Secretly he probably views that on par with treason.
