Might as well post it here because it will just get canned anywhere other than the Gungeon...

3. Derf was a regular

in the Houston Press until they decided to drift right. Actually, when they stopped carrying Tom Tomorrow, I stopped picking up their 'free' copies. (AND, the last several pages are ads for sex games and hook ups, which strikes me as ironic...)

[Plucketeer]

5. I like it!

The "terrists" are waging war on the US - IN the US - on a daily basis. And yet, we have to field armies to foreign soil to try to find some of the baddies.

Free guns would level the playing field here - but what we really need is federal laws requiring us to carry. That way it wouldn't be taxpayer money that would provide the arms! We'd be forced to buy from US gun makers so's to create jobs locally.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, if we required everyone to pack a US-made gun, this would eventually take care of the joblessness. As production rose to meet the demand - and murders (stand your ground incidents if you prefer) eliminated more and more of our populace - there'd be a meeting point of declining demand for jobs and increased employment. A sort of "balancing out", if you will! Mitt! Oh MITT!!!! I have a theme for you to win with - or at least one that'll get your party in line behind you.

8. Where's my constitutional right to keep and bear -->

F-16s?!?

[AtheistCrusader]

12. Entirely possible. There are certainly F-4 Phantom's in private ownership.

Flown in US airspace.

MiG-15's, MiG-21's, MiG-29M, all sorts of rotorwing aircraft, F-100's, Harriers, F-4b, F-86's, T-33's.. Let's see, there's a civilian MiG-23UB.

It's not that you aren't allowed to purchase them, more that no one will sell you one. That's why most of the civilian military-surplus aircraft in the US are from Russia, as they ARE for sale, even with radar and other military bits and bobs intact, and aside from cash up front, the only hurdle is the US FAA and import license. The FAA has to rate the aircraft as being airworthy at all, which means it needs to meet certain criteria for transponder, radio, etc.

You won't get a surplus F-16, because the US Military isn't selling them at any price. Nor is the manufacturer. Now, you might be able to buy an 'export' version of the F-16, if any nation that ever purchased any F-16A/B's are willing to sell one. Bringing it back into the US would probably be slightly easier than a MiG, but you'll still have to get FAA buyoff, because military aircraft don't meet various FAA requirements anyway.


This is a civvy F-100 taking off.

[GreenStormCloud]

16. Not taking off. He is in a very low altitude fly-by.

Notice that the speed brake is deployed. You don't do that on take-off.

[AtheistCrusader]

17. Likely correct.

That was the caption as posted by the person who claimed to have taken the photo. I hesitate to alter it, even though the landing gear isn't deployed.

[GreenStormCloud]

23. You did right not to change it.

It may have been a take-off. It was almost certainly at an air show. For the crowd to see him well he may have wanted to keep his speed down as he roared down the runway after getting his gear up, therefore the speed brake out. That would convert the take-off to a low altitude fly-by.

[PavePusher]

20. You can keep one all you want.

If you can bear one, you're a better wo/man than I, Gunga Din.

[AtheistCrusader]

10. I'm just going to assume this is a sarcastic take on Helmke's grasp on reality.

[DonP]

11. Why is it always gun control people that want to do away with restrictions?

It's always the gun control people claiming that guns should be available on every corner for everybody, background checks are useless (after they demanded all this in the first place).

Then we get the "bazookas and nukes for everybody" crap from them too. This strip is typical of gun grabber "logic".

Make insane statements, that bear no resemblance to reality, then infer or outright claim it's the gun owners that are crazy.

The good news is nobody but a shrinking handful of "true believer zealots" are even listening to them anymore.

Also still waiting for somebody to point out an actual candidate running for a national, or even a state office, with gun control as a major part of their 2012 platform.

Anybody? Anywhere? Let's hear about them. I'm sure some of our gun control fans here can point with pride to the campaigns they are working with and have donated to, that support stricter gun control measures. Come on, Maine, Florida, Georgia, Texas all hotbeds of the gun control movement, right?

I mean, if it's such a winner and "everybody supports it" (as we've been oft reassured) it should be a major part of every honest Dem candidate's platform, right? Or is this another one where we'll hear all about how the evil "Elders of the NRA" in a conspiracy with ALEC and the the Knights of Malta are outspending the morally pure gun control candidates to silence them?

Funny how the NRA magically keeps anyone from donating to the Brady bunch, ain't it?

[bongbong]

13. Give - no, force - fetuses to carry guns

Abortion will become a thing of the past!

[SGMRTDARMY]

15. I bet you think your funny

when in reality, your really not.

[bongbong]

18. Funny?

I don't think I'm funny at all, but your teabagger spelling errors make me laugh.

[PavePusher]

21. "teabagger spelling error"?

There are apparently a LOT of "teabaggers" on DU then, as I see similar typo's by serious liberals here all the time.

You are not serious. You're not even amusing.

Take your accusations, write them on a piece of paper, fold them into sharp cornors, and return them to the bodily orifice you pulled them from, at a high velocity.

[SGMRTDARMY]

22. Teabagger spelling errors?

That the best you got?
You have just confirmed my suspicions about what you really are.
Have a nice day.

[GreenStormCloud]

14. The reality is that shootings are down except for justiable homicide.

In states with SYG laws the number for justifialbe homicides are up. All other shootings are down.

[AtheistCrusader]

19. Which suggests to me

that at least some of those shootings that fall under SYG were previously classified in such a manner as to put the shooter in legal jeopardy, when it was not warranted.
