I wasn't aware of the UN report and from what you say I'm more concerned about the world's response to a significant humanitarian issue than the gender of refugees or economic migrants. Ideology has nothing to do with it. So tell us King, who do you think is responsible for this "significant humanitarian issue" which did not exist until the disastrous Obama Foreign Policy decision to leave a massive power vacuum behind in Iraq, and a sissy-like response to "Lines Drawn in the Sand" in Syria? Could this foreign policy failure which has resulted in a Genocidal killing of over 250,000 innocents be the Obama Legacy that puts him in the top third in your feeble mind? Or are you too busy thinking about any long object being a phallus or penis? His comedic projection of swords and snakes as tough masculinity comes off as homophobic and distinctly phallic! We're still wondering what you were trying to say there King Brown... or should we call you Kloset Kween Brown? You still haven't offered a shred of proof of that statement you used to dishonestly attempt to denigrate me. What were you trying to pull there you old fraud? Was that more of your Psychological Projection or blame shifting... trying to project your affinity for queer things to me? "Psychological projection also known as blame shifting is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others."And there is a lot of circumstantial evidence showing your affinity to gays and gay issues... from your attraction to Obama who lit up the White House in rainbow colors to celebrate gay marriage to your frequent references to Pope Francis' "Who am I to judge?" statement pertaining to queers. Also, a lot of you anti-gunners attempt to denigrate gunners by portraying guns as phallic symbols. Why don't you just come out of the closet already?
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

A full week has passed and King still refuses to back-up the filthy lying statement he made about me referenced in the post above. So where is he... gazing lustfully at pictures of the CN Tower? He has also gone on the offensive by making the erroneous and dishonest claim that all I have ever done for the cause of Gun Rights is to hold an NRA Benefactor Life Membership and make donations. Of course, many here will recall that I have explicitly told King what I have and have not done several times when I asked him what he ever did to advance or protect Gun Rights in Canada. He knows he is lying in order to denigrate me, but that's how Mr. Civility operates. And I am not the only one to take notice of King's frequent denigration of our NRA... something he denies whenever craigd mentions it. I really don't think craig or Mike would lie for me just to make King look bad. King, the NRA has been extraordinarily effective in promoting Second Amendment rights. I give them much of the credit for getting the right case in front of SCOTUS that allowed that court to rule that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right. They were able to get the government to eliminate the ban on "assault weapons". The recent and rapid adoption of concealed-carry laws by dozens of states was much facilitated by the NRA. Bloomberg and his allies created organizatons based on the NRA model, hoping to emulate the NRA's methods in their own anti-gun campaign. You tell us the approval rating for the NRA is down, yet the percentage of Americans that think protecting gun rights is important has increased and the Second Amendment supporters are now in the majority. The percentage of those that think gun control is important declined. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/12/us/gun-control-gun-rights-pew-survey.htmlYour antipathy for the NRA must spring from your liberal mindset. It is not based on any objective judgement. The fact is that the NRA is highly effective and very successful in defending gun rights in the USA. Are you a member of the NRA? You should be.

Here we have the anti-gunner-in-denial, King Brown, accusing Christians of abandoning Jesus' teaching in order to defend the right of self defense and the 2nd Amendment: The roots I'm comfortable with are the radical---"to get to the root of"---and that's Jesus's teaching. The shame is how far the Christian community has drifted from it. We act irrationally from fear when the Christian message is to fear not, even death itself.We call ourselves Christian nations and stockpile ammunition, need concealed carry to protect ourselves and a regulated militia without regulations to protect us from our own governments, abandoning Jesus's teaching to defend it. It is always so touching and sincere to see an Atheist like King using the Bible and religion to denigrate gun rights. But Liberal Leftist anti-gunners like King Brown would much rather see free people incrementally disarm themselves and submit to the will of Socialists. Poor little King can't help himself. He flails like a mad man in denial of his anti-gun proclivities... but he can't stop himself from letting the truth out from time to time.

And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. Luke 22:36

It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'sword' is.
(Not my belief! Just what I imagine King might say. I'm a kill 'em all let God sort them out kinda guy.)

Thanks, Ken. Back then Christians were a small persecuted group of Jesus's followers. Perhaps Luke's was a warning to Christians, as Revere's at Concord, the British are coming. It wasn't the indiscriminate fear today of everything: government, immigrants, the environment, those we disagree with to the point of not talking to each other in a country professing to be Christian. That's the fear that produces irrational gun control and arming ourselves against each other. It defies Christian tenets and challenges the First and Second Amendments, all wrapped up in religion, chauvinism, patriotism, jingoism and malicious inaccurate posts exhibited daily here in Misfires.

The composition and culture of those in United States is constantly evolving. Some fear change and economic uncertainty. That is why they support candidates that tell them bedtime stories and possibility of impossible. I predict another ammo shortage coming.

....That's the fear that produces irrational gun control....
....wrapped up in religion, chauvinism, patriotism, jingoism and malicious inaccurate posts exhibited daily here in Misfires. I think if it were just fear, then the policy would be 'gun fear'. No, I think you're pretty familiar and comfortable with the 'control' part of it. Now that upchuck that ended the show, that's irrational. Add in climate change and misogyny to get things back on topic. Where could one get a view of all that equivocating, maybe from an ivory tower. Maybe, the ebony and ivory trump tower?

Fear of guns is part of it. Rural and smaller-centre people gravitating to cities as they are now will only increase irrational fears of guns and accelerate gun control.
