In reply to the discussion: "Let's ban AR-15s" [View all]discntnt_irny_srcsm
(18,606 posts)39. Here's a thought:
Can we just leave all that ban something, tax it to death, end castle doctrine, hunt down Zimmerman and have him drawn and quartered talk out of this election season? As much as I'd like to, we don't have to put on the curb like an old lawn chair but can we just leave it in the shed like the old lawn chair? Or maybe in the renovated attic along with the in-laws great aunt who thinks the garden gnomes are alive and speak French?
Let's just see how it goes if the whole topic spends some time getting acquainted my leisure suit and 1970's velvet tux.
I know there's folks who have a sad if we don't demand a ban at every turn for any excuse or none at all, but can they restrain themselves until the votes are counted?

They have so many "great" ideas ... and no ambition to ever do anything about them

Substitute the word 'dishonest' for the word 'whiny' and this T-shirt would be MUCH improved.
