Aren't you now arguing in favor of the government protecting us from guns, which are intended to protect us from the government?

Again I'm not saying that is the solution. We could have police around every corner and as long as they conducted themselves within the boundaries of our current law, we still wouldn't be a police state.

Sadly, I think you're 100% correct. This fucks with me.
I have also seen "Sandy hook was an inside job". People are saying that the administration made this happen to take our guns away. I don't have words for that kind of stupidity. I think I'm going to stop following politics for a while too. Shit is just depressing.

Why do they all look so sad, they all make at least twice a much a year as I do. Boohoo your taxes went up, come back when your not making like triple what the average family does.

CRY FOR THE RICH, for their lot is a sad one, rife with the hardship of deciding which flavor of latte to order in the morning.
Exactly. :lol
Not only do they all make at least about 5 times as much as me, my taxes are going up too with the payroll tax.
Cry moar richers.

I noticed that too. Even the elderly couple who's taxes didn't change at all

lol, the thing that gets me the most is couple #4. I just don't see how you can end up with 200k in capital gains with ony 500k in income.
because Obama is a pox on their race

Oh fuck me. The married couple that makes 650 THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS is going to have to cough up some more change. That's the top ZERO POINT TWO percent of households. HOW WILL THEY SURVIVE???????????
maybe they should check out Obamacares free birth control
Here's something I don't understand, because I'm an only child of two parents and I grew up in an environment where my two parents brought home about 10% of that single mom's income.Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal:
Look at how sad those kids are, Obama.
The real story here is that Obama is raising taxes to make depressed children to plant the seeds of mental illness which will lead to more Sandy Hook style incidents. Then big government takes your guns away and forces you to sacrifice at the alter of Baal. WAKE UP AMERICA.

LOL! How amazingly out of touch! The lowest income person in that image is more than three times the median income! Oh those poor rich people.

A single parent who makes $260,000 a year? Sign me the fuck up! I grew up in a two-parent household that made about $50,000 a year *total*!

Let's ignore for a moment how ludicrous it is to think the government will suddenly decide to "impose itself on its people." In what way, exactly? Is it going to play out like 1984? I'm not even sure all the people that are afraid of it even know what exactly would be done. Though I'd love to see an "uprising" of gun nuts thinking they'd be able to do anything about it, just to see how fast they get taken out by military trained snipers.
Just like they're now calling for expanded mental health care, all the while condemning Obamacare. It's all ridiculous hypocrisy.

What the god damned fuck?
Can I have their problems please? Single and making 230K a year and looking sad? Jesus.
For reals. That's easily like 5 or 6 times what I make. I could live for YEARS off that sort of money.
Just like no one expected that hitler would start by taking away everyone's guns. That's a pretty good example of it. How would a citizen protect its liberty then? They didn't know or have warning that would happen.
But I digress, I wanted to point that out.
Argh, this is just awful. Just people yelling over each other with no respect for dialogue. Like an episode of Real Time, except not funny.
No not quite. They cataloged then told everyone in austria to turn their guns in. And since they knew who had the guns, they knew who wasn't turning them in.
As you posted, NAZI affiliated people were allowed to have guns. everyone who wasn't, was not.

Is this a fucking joke? WHO MAKES THAT MUCH GODDAMN MONEY? Less than 2% of America, that's who! WTF!

Except that's not what happened. Hilter prohibited Jews from owning guns, but not all German citizens.
The American government has far too many moving parts to ever become a dictatorship. Look at how difficult it was just to raise taxes on the rich. No one's getting away with anything like Hitler.
^ I love how paranoid right wingers think our democracy is as weak as the Weimar Republic. Completely out of touch with reality. Obama is so hell bent on being a dictator that he went through the process of getting reelected instead of pulling a 18 Brumaire like a real president-turned-dictator.
The quote I posted from that MJ article does mention that Jews were prohibited from owning guns. That has nothing to do with the fact that gun laws, in general, were relaxed under Nazi rule (not that it mattered that much since not that many civilians in the first place had guns).
As for mentioning Austria? Thanks for confirming that you are indeed trolling.

No, I don't think american government would evolve into a dictatorship. The only way would be if there was a coup d'État or something, but that is also unlikely.
I was talking about nazi controlled areas but okay. I am not trolling. Austria at first was happy to have them there, at least at first.
Upon further googling, it seems that is more of the case. I admit my rashness.
Saying they started by taking away guns would be completely wrong, though, still. As pointed out, gun laws were relaxed. Before Hitler no one was allowed guns. So, realistically you could only say "they started by letting some people own guns." That'd be far more truthful than what you said.

Wait, are we supposed to feel sorry for these people?
A single person makes $230k a year and we are supposed to feel bad they have to pay $3k more in taxes? If someone who makes that is bitching about that I will gladly trade salaries with them.
They will have to start living off of Ramen noodles with this kind of increase.

What the fuck!? My parents usually end up in the 100-120k range and we lead a comfortable middle class lifestyle, bordering on upper-middle class depending on what metrics you use. I cannot feel any sympathy for people complaining about a few thousand more in taxes at the 250k level
So people are whining over that small of a tax increase? LOLCourtesy of the Wall Street Journal:
thanks
