Feel like my comp is in an empty head, keep hearing an echo.

I think King summed up the political reality beautifully. Compromise means, we vote lib, but have a few conservative thoughts.

or compromise means giving someone what they want, so they will give you what you want.

like restriction of semi auto hand guns in exchange for a balanced budget law. both could be very beneficial to our long term well being.

never give and inch, ever

how bout a balanced budget because its the right thing to do, and what most american family's have to do,and you give up all your guns and we won't. and if you never post again it would benefit us all in the long term.

Craig, compromise isn't what US political parties do, and look where it's got you: a polarized country of no one talking to each other, stuck in a rut and citizens of all persuasions saying their governance is the pits.

I am a liberal philosophically but have never voted for the Liberal Party. It's too top-down, doing our thinking for us; delivering pork as the Natural Governing Party. Conservatives were more democratic---until recently.

I wouldn't vote for any of the declared presidential candidates. Not much on offer, is it?

Yah, yah, yah, I know, you want us to stay home so the champion of gals rights gets in without breaking a nail. Don't be so half empty, surely you can muster the obligatory, first woman would be the break through to validate the progressive movement, cheer.

Polarized? I must have missed the memo. We've rid ourselves of war, and are all healthier, thus happier and more productive. What's not to like?

Not much to offer, eh? Where's Steve when I really need him, you're making assumptions.

I carry a 1911 in Condition One, not because I fear another person with a semi auto handgun, but so that I am better able to protect my loved ones, myself and other innocents from evil people who may attempt to do them harm, with whatever instrument they may choose to use to do that. Fear is something that is to be USED, to funnel your thoughts and actions, during a crisis, to gain you advantage over your adversary.

Your assertion that fear is what motivates one to carry a semi auto handgun is one of the insane things I see in this thread. Pray tell, ed, what is the difference in your feeble mind, between a semi auto and a revolver, or a double barrel shotgun, for that matter?

Your stupidity is sometimes beyond my belief. I have never, in my 63 years on God's earth, met anyone as repeatedly belligerent and uninformed as you are.

Stan:
As I'm sure you well know in order to actually fire a 1911 in "Cocked and Locked" mode you have to do the following:
1.Release the manual safety.
2. Simultaneously depress the grip safety while pulling the trigger.
There's very little chance to do these things accidently and that's why 45autos are still considered one of the safest firearms to own and carry.
That's the way I carry my Kimber and it's also the way most people who know what they are talking about recommend they be carried.

agreed, colt 1911's and their clones may be the safest of semi auto handguns...but as a type, semi autos are more dangerous than revolvers. particularly in the hands of an inexperienced individual, due to a lack of visibility as to weather the thing is loaded or not.

do you remember when the six shot revolver was the police hand gun of choice before the proliferation of high cap semi autos among criminal elements? the police were forced to move to high cap semi autos when they found themselves outgunned.

Only Joe Biden could give him a run for his money....
