No one should have to work in a hostile environment.
Support anti-gun laws and help keep these hard working people safe.

Thankfully though, these hard working people (note I do not call them citizens because many are just foriegn workers visiting America trying to make a living themselves) are well represented by politicians and celebrities. Congressional leaders such as Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, and Nancy Pelosi for example work tirelessly to try to make life easier and safer for these hard workers.
 
It's kind of clever, but doesn't seem to bring anything new to the party. Well, another opportunity to try and associate democrats with criminals... but other than that. :)
 
Well, technically, associating the actual people with their anti-gun policies. The video is simply a funny way to get the point that criminals have guns, will always use guns and anti-gun policies just keep decent people from protecting themselves. Note, I did not specifically bring in the anti-gun democrats by name. Someone else, who I will not name, did.

Naw, that's too easy. Just look at the Senate's rap sheet. :D

Bob, from you?

Don't try to steal billi's thunder!
 
You're missing my sarcasm. It's of course aimed at the 'lets get rid of guns, so only criminals have them' crowd. :)
 
Being able to hit your target. That's it that's all.
The rest is people control or non control depending on what side of the fence you stand.

Granfire and Billi

to be clear: 12th century, in what would come to be France, the Crusade, not against Muslims, but heretical Christians known as Catharists. Later, the Albiginsian Crusade, more slaughter, more cruelty, more hideous and profligate death.

And this hideous quote lives on, celebrated by those who perhaps approve of these sentiments and wish to appropriate cleverness in the service of evil and the satisfaction of the desire for vengance. With this, you seem willing to be associated.

  • ^ According to the Cistercian writer Caesar of Heisterbach, one of the leaders of the Crusader army, the Papal legate Arnaud-Amaury, when asked by a Crusader how to distinguish the Cathars from the Catholics, answered: "Caedite eos! Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius" – "Kill them [all]! Surely the Lord discerns which [ones] are his". On the other hand, the legate's own statement, in a letter to the Pope in August 1209 (col.139), states:
    while discussions were still going on with the barons about the release of those in the city who were deemed to be Catholics, the servants and other persons of low degree and unarmed attacked the city without waiting for orders from their leaders. To our amazement, crying "to arms, to arms!", within the space of two or three hours they crossed the ditches and the walls and Béziers was taken. Our men spared no one, irrespective of rank, sex or age, and put to the sword almost 20,000 people. After this great slaughter the whole city was despoiled and burnt, as Divine vengeance miraculously...

Oh...
<sheepish grin>

I don't recall it where I read about that the first time, might have been you who explained the phrase and it's misuse...

Was more of a sarcastic barb shot at billi :D

(It is, after all, a rather callus approach)
 
How did we get from mocking gun control nuts, to yet another round on the crusades when they didn't even have guns?
 
Well, lets be more magical and keep more on topic.
