The NRA has now built it's reputation as being a terrorist group, advocating for more violence. He looks a lot like Hitler's nephew, the leader of the outlaw gang. Imagine all the people without weapons, this could be paradise.
We need our guns to protect us from our government! They are out to get us.
What? Me paranoid? You trying to get me locked up?
yep any and all who are looking forward to fighting the us military are stupid and should never have any guns
Ron Paul will regale us with his ignorance two minutes at a time? I guess he knew that any longer and even the clueless would awaken to his stupidity.
It amazes me how so many people scream for attention today. As if idiots on you tube risking life and limb because they need to be the center of the universe ain't bad enough we now have Rubio studio!
Thanks for sharing that story of the Oregon couple - that's a good way to start my Friday
I'm curious, is this "meteorite" really the asteroid that was predicted to pass by Earth today? If so why the change of terms? This really looks like a well-orchestrated CYA because our much vaunted science community got it wrong.
Or were we lied to for our own peace of mind? Does anyone have the real story here?
A meteorite is any object that has entered the atmosphere of another object and survived to impact the surface

Different one.
Re: #4
I am curious...do you ever just Google when you have a question, or do you just launch into wild speculation?
I found this information on EarthSky.com:
Note: I found other links that disputed any connection between 2012DA14 and the meteorite that hit Russia
Here's another link for you - foxnews.com. Even they aren't asking the questions you just did.
Sorry, I thought shooter was confused on the terms. I guess my own assumption that he is not so bright got the better of me,this time.
The meteorite is not connected to the asteroid [2012 DA14] scheduled to pass by us today. Meteors are pieces of asteroids or comet or other, they become meteoroids when they collide with earth's atmosphere, they become meteorites if they strike the earth itself, rather than just burning up.
It's largely semantics. Putting it simply, meteors are astroids that enter a planets atmosphere. I suppose that it's possible that this meteor broke of of the astroid you refer to, but the meteor is estimated to be significantly smaller that the astroid. Google is your friend.
Of course, that's only if you believe anyone about anything. If it weren't for those "Much vaunted scientists", you'd still be sitting in your mom's basement, but it would be dark and cold and there wouldn't be any internets. Make sure you have your gun handy. Everyone, including the scientists, are out to get you.
What makes you so sure he's not sitting in his mom's basement now? Maybe the tin foil hat doesn't work so well underground?
Dang, Shooter, if you can imply a conspiracy from a meteorite, it makes me wonder how you can ever leave the bunker(mom's basement). It also makes me doubt anything you ever post.
Hooter (because you're only one boob)
Please get a 6th grade science book and read it.

And more proof of just how gullible the MSLSD neophytes really are.....
Face the facts, if you are a white republican male, well then ralph maddow is here to beat you down with lies, falsehoods and just pure bull$hit.
enlighten us oh ho-lee one, show us the lies, falsehoods and just pure bull@!$%#.
If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, flies like a duck,.........
Ralph good God she is Racheal Maddow at least learn you enemys name before attacking
Oh i'm sorry, Racheal Maddcow... There you go... All better now?
There would have been fewer injuries from the Russian meteorite if they had more guns.
hahaha- Exactly.... whip em out and start shooting at the meteor!!
Read that Olympic Arms is holding NY police hostage refusing to sell to them unless New York's gun laws are overturned. How insane is that?
I found articles that talked about this.
Just confirms my suspicion that the people who yell the loudest about gun control are nuts and shouldn't have guns.
Am looking for evidence to convince me otherwise.
I could here it now, Oh, no the Russians are doing nuclear testing, they have a stockpile of meteors in their back pocket.
I am concerned about the nonstop campaiigning and litle work being done in DC by the President. He can just as easily make many of these arguments online using social media. We have the SEO market locked up as Dems...it is what got him elected in many ways. That said, this President needs to make JOBS and nothing else the prority. There are people starving and frankly, talking about guns all the time, raising taxes all the time and investments all the time are starting to scare even Dems. With jobs, linking wages to corporate profits and equal taxation for corporations, ALL THIS GOES AWAY! Nobody in office has the balls anymore...so they look busy getting very little done that the existing market isnt taking care of by itself over time. I think he doesnt talk about jobs because he knows just how screwed Americans really are and knows it would be meaningless to even talk about it...and be forced to admit that American corporations simply arent hiring American labor anymore unless it comes with enough of an incentive to cover the money used to employ us. This is a VERY BAD time in America's short and complex history. The reason Europe and Asia is going to kick our asses isnt because of them...its because of US! They have 2500 years of mistakes made that we are, in fact, just starting to realize ourselves. They corrected their crap...and are all either completely corrupt or socialist economies. Their people wont tolerate the @!$%# we do!!! THAT was the point of the 2nd Amendment Obama is going around talking about...it was implemented to ensure that when too many rich people are running the show, citizens could form a militia and overthrow the tyrannical powers. And believe me, Dems also see the tyranny. Difference is, we dont blame Obama - not yet, but he isnt that much different than what we have been trending towards for a half century. This means, the "board of directors" is the problem! THAT is what we should be keying in on, shining light on and changing social perceptions about! THERE is the "Pen is mightier than the sword" idea, in effect!
Do anyone of them really know what a hard days' night is? Have they ever worked so hard that they thought they were realing dying? They always look pretty well rested to me.
as his oppoints are in lock down mode his best chance of doing his job is to point out to the general public just how little congress is doing while accepting a huge salary
Gerald,
Only Congress passes the laws in this country. The President and his party put forth ideas and it is up to Congress to bring the legislation to the floor and vote. Boehner won't bring anything to a vote. That was the President's whole point in the SOTU in calling for a vote on gun control. If Obama or any president were to make the laws he would be seen as a dictator. That's why there are 3 branches of government. Congress is broken, the minority party in the Senate fillabusters every idea brought forward. The House of Reps is being overrun by the tea party lunatics. The Congress hasn't figured out that they might have the financial backing in politics, but the President has the people behind him in mass. After all the money poured into the elections by the super PAC's, they still didn't produce the results they wanted. Republicans can dig their heels in for 2 more years and they will no longer have the power in the House. People are sick of the bulls%^& . We want action!
