the gun grabbers can't even manage that.

We'll just do it the way we do things in Canada.
Paper ballots, counted by hand. Amazingly, we manage to have 'em all counted, in a national election, within little more than an hour of the polls closing. I'll be doing it again in a mere couple of weeks, provincially ... and waiting with all digits crossed to see whether I will be liberated from the provincial Tories for 4 or 5 years, or hell, 3 would do; minority governments are good things, even if not long lived.
Anyhow. You just type out your options, and we'll type out our choices. And then you can just go through and add 'em up. No fancy gimmicky machines needed. No anonymity, but I won't insist on hiding behind the keyboard!
Of course, this way there is always room for write-ins, too.
The possibilities seem endless.

I'm an equal opportunity soft drink-spitter.
Good one, MrB. </sarcasm>

3. Everyone bookmark this.... |
|
this is another classis anti RKBA moment...kinda like the one where some anti gun politician wanted to show how easy it is to take off a trigger lock, and then in front of the media, couldn't do it.
This is the Anti RKBA crowd in action.

it certainly shows that criminals should be able to buy guns without background checks and assault rifles, because I screwed up this poll.
Everyone in the RKBA crowd do bookmark this....because you sure as hell don't have any real issues.

7. I like having ALL OF MY INALIENABLE RIGHTS |
|
Not some, ALL OF THEM!!!
I'm for gun rights for the same reasons that I am against the Patriot Act...BECAUSE I LIKE HAVING ALL OF MY RIGHTS!!!
I see gun control the same way that I see the Patriot Act. It's the asking of an inch so that later on they can take a mile and everything else.

9. lcordero you are right on the money |

The Patriot Act is the most euphanistically named piece of legislation to come around the pike. What patriot would support secret searches sealed by a secret court? How am I supposed to face my accuser if the infomants are anonymous and the court is a secret. Give an inch, they'll take a mile.
Mandatory seat belt laws were sold as being seconday offenses. It was promised that no one would ever be pulled over for not wearing a seat belt. Now a lack of seat belt is permission to go fishing. Also, RICO and civil forfeiture statues were designed to combat crime leaders like Capone and Gotti, but now they're used against anybody from small timers to political orgainzations. If anti-abortion groups can have the RICO applied to them, what political or protest organization is safe? The answer: none.

It is the corrupt gun industry that forces people to break existing laws just so they can make a buck. It is the people that go to the range and shoot paper while in the back of thier mind they are at the mall hosing down the parking lot with a dreaded assult weapon.
Its the brady buch that just want to make sure with as little problem as possible that law abiding citizens can purchase and carry a pistol if they want.
Got to go an peddle my RKBA Arse to the skeet range

Well, if we can break from the main thread for a second, allow me to express my admiration and gratitude for the humor.

21. The biggest NRA lie is that |
|
the NRA is something other than a branch of the Republican party. They don't give a rats ass about the constitution. They want to help elect Republicans who will cut taxes for their rich friends. The gun issue is just one of their tools for inspiring marginally sane individuals to follow their lead.
