I'm pro-choice when it comes to guns and as much as I would like the anti-gun choice crowd to shut up this is nothing more than just pure corruption in the political system.

I'm betting there is many MANY more politicians doing shady shit like this. Perhaps even more egregious than this one.

[Kapadons]

Only mistake these people made was getting caught. Hopefully the next guy down the line can learn from them how to avoid detection.

I just absolutely love how you take this topic to spin some kind of gun control on it because Leland Lee was a corrupt asshole.

Is your point that politicians are hypocrites?

WHAT A REVELATION.

[Jotaux]

Your comparison is the opposite. If a anti gun control guy was caught trafficking weapons it would make more sense to compare the two.

At this point, I am willing to bet my life that the majority of our politicians are either criminals, in the pocket of big business, or so horrible at their job that they don't matter.

Interesting replies so far. No concern of corruption, just subject matter.

I'm going out for the evening. I'm sure there will be further interesting comments by the time I get home.

Carry on.

Even in a thread that has nothing to do with guns, you somehow manage to make it about guns.

I think the comparison is with illegal drugs. If we legalize them despite their inherent damaging nature we have killed a black market business. Then we can tax the shit out of them to support the extra healthcare costs incurred by such contraband.

Whats the trigger warning for?

[Vanyali]

Whats the trigger warning for?

At a guess, "triggered liberals / anti-gun people".

[Revi]

A politician who doesn't actually stand for what he/she says.

:O :O

You didn't start in good faith. You get what you put in.

Edited the post. This has nothing to do with gun control, which belongs in its own thread.

He didnt make it about gun control, he made a comparison you daffy twit. Jesus the moderation on these boards and the site ingeneral has gone to shit because of assholes like this.

Almost everyone who replied was in violation of the forum rules for trolling, flaming and thread de-railing yet you did not infract them. THe bias here is just disgusting . Go ahead and Ban me, I could give two shits.

He didn't need to make it about gun control though. The guy(Not Darsithis) is known to be a strong gun supporter. He could of just posted the article to make discussion and not bring guns involved. He started in bad faith.


Also if you have a problem with moderation you send an email. Insulting them also doesn't help.

[Pangean]

No, it's just Titan being incapable of making threads that aren't related to guns.

He is the Tennis of gun posts.

Considering you spent half of your OP talking about a person not related to the topic, what do you expect? I'm sure there were other threads you could grandstand about guns on.

[Theinquisition]

not shocking, this is just another reason that I don't trust the government to run programs efficiently and in scope...too many corrupt politicians.

[Forgettable]

I'm surprised she only stole $1700 honestly. I was expecting a much bigger value.

[Hotmail]

Well, good luck with that!
