    If that is a TV court show led by Kelsey Grammar, I'm watching it.

    I may not beat the ride, but I'll beat the rap.

    p.s. You are just fucking with me, right? Because I'm pretty sure my usage is correct.

    That takes pretty good aim. From what I've heard, Japanese peckers are small.

    Alright so placate me here for a second.
    We've already seen that dead college kids (Virginia Tech) and dead children (Sandy Hook) won't move the needle so, let's be honest, this isn't even going to register on the scale of an actual change in gun laws but what, if anything, would?
    I shudder at the thought about what kind of catastrophe it would take to really bring about actual change.
    Pop star murdered on live TV at the Grammys? I don't think that would do it ... though if it were someone big it MIGHT inspire the next generation to take up the fight when they get older.
    Some ridiculous mass shooting that makes VT look like childsplay?
    Someone takes out a sitting president (again)?
    I honestly don't know if we're at a point where the needle can be moved. I think it's going to take some ground-level shit to change attitudes enough the same way gay marriage went from being laughed about ten years ago to socially acceptable by a majority of Americans to constitutionally-protected a couple of months ago.
    Maybe that's what it takes. Because there's a large segment of this population that would rather see 5,000,000 innocent Americans die at the hands of guns than turn in the gun they don't actually need out of some blind loyalty to this idea that they're entitled to own one.

    I suppose it depends on the president, but I don't think that would do it. Unfortunately, I don't think anything would at this point.

    This is such a dumb question.

    What hateful thing could someone say that would make you want to amend the 1st Amendment?

    What murder trial would turn on the exclusion of evidence for you to want to amend the 4th Amendment?

    What would Planned Parenthood have to do for you to want to amend abortion rights?
