Chatter about slippery slopes and nibbling away at constitutional rights is mewling to the converted. Nowhere have I said I want "American gun control to resemble Canadian gun control." I fought gun control, period.

I've said, plain as pudding, that none of the proposals for gun control will have a gnat's eyelash of effect on gun violence. I've quoted the Harvard study here and reminded McCain of Canadian experience so cut out the nonsense, please.

Integrity of a conversation demands respect, candour and trustworthiness. Imputing motives without evidence and saying what is not true is disrespectful, only making the world safer for fools.

Any time you're taking on the stately edifice and authority of a national government trying to saddle its citizens with unwarranted arbitrary measures, look to help wherever you can get it, not obfuscate and declaim as you're doing.




Ok King, here's my version of pudding. Bush comment...if you have any integrity please note that's my and my alone 'interpretation'.

Didn't your note to the senator state that compromise was inevitable. Didn't you just earlier today answer 'yes and yes' about your advice to the NRA.

No disrespect intended, but I recognize the butting of heads. I believe in the past, I've acknowledged when I've misread you. My opinion is you're not remembering or selectively disregarding some of your comments.

Trustworthy....imputing motive without evidence.....I've admitted I tend to point out the 'flowery adjectives' that you lay down as factual assumptions. If I don't buy them, why can't I point them out. You have some very pointed opinions about my character, some of your assumptions rub me wrong.
