Michael, how did Karen and the cats respond to the restraining order? **HUGS**
If you want to meet Michael in the flesh, his enormous flesh, and some of his fellow Teabag travelers, there is an upcoming NJ Teabag meeting Dec 15 in Teaneck NJ:

But a little warning- the men are quite a bit "weird" - they often talk to you about Trump for president with little flecks of spittle flying out of the corners of their mouths while they stare at your breasts, avoiding eye contact. So stand back a little and claim your personal space. Also many of them are licensed to carry handguns, so be polite.
The few Teabag women who attend are quite something also. More on that later. See you there!
I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry and unhappy like we do. I feel very deeply about vegetarianism and the animal kingdom. It was my dog Boycott who led me to question the right of humans to eat other sentient beings.
I thought you just ate skat?I love animals too... Many of them are delicious.
That's right Michael. Here in America, people can pledge allegiance to ISIS one day and be armed for war the next. At least she was part of a militia. But, let's not talk about sensible reforms to gun ownership.
Certainly, in the mind of a libtard, gun reform can't possibly be any more "sensible" than the existing California gun-laws, can it?
Anything more powerful than a pellet-gun is banned. How'd that work-out, moron?
Please enlighten the world, what law would you enact that would have prevented what happened in Cali.
Try hard Loosie... The entire world is on the edge of their seats.
Not long after the December 2012 slaughter of 20 children and six educators at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, Republican Sen. Pat Toomey and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, co-authored a measure that would require background checks for gun purchases made at gun shows and online, not just those made from licensed gun dealers. The effort, which certainly wasn’t to Toomey’s political advantage, fell to a Republican filibuster in the then-Democratic controlled Senate.
The bill, by the way, was strongly opposed by the National Rifle Association, a mystifying but nonetheless unsurprising position.
Last week, the same measure came before the Senate again, a Senate now dominated by Republicans. The result of the voting was the same. In fact, the Toomey-Manchin bill didn’t even get as far as it did in 2013, with only three Republicans besides Toomey voting in favor of the proposal despite the continuing gun violence since 2012 — including the latest mass shooting in San Bernardino, California that claimed 14 lives and left 21 wounded.
That the background check bill was offered as an amendment to legislation derailing the Affordable Care Act, a favorite target of Republicans, solidifies our belief that standing with the NRA against even very reasonable gun measures trumps everything else among GOP lawmakers, even attacks (futile though they may be) against Obamacare.
On the same day the Toomey-Manchin bill was defeated, two other Senate measures to tighten access to firearms were also voted down. One, introduced by California Democrat Dianne Feinstein, would allow the government to block gun sales to people suspected of being terrorists. A less restrictive plan, submitted by Texas Republican John Cornyn, which would delay firearm sales to suspected terrorists for up to 72 hours and possibly be halted permanently on a judge’s order, was also rejected.
The Toomey-Manchin legislation is hardly an assault on the Second Amendment. It prohibits a federal gun registry, does not ban any firearm or type of ammunition and doesn’t take away anyone’s guns. It allows exceptions for gun sales between friends and family members. In no way does it infringe on the ability of law-abiding citizens to buy guns. That seems to be the big concern of the gun lobby and its supporters. Their continued insistence on an absolute interpretation of the Second Amendment flies in the face of common sense and ignores the fact that a document (the Constitution) written in the 18th century could not and does not address the realities of the 21st century. Even our beloved First Amendment freedom of speech is hardly absolute.
We know that tighter background checks can’t prevent all acts of violence. But they can definitely prevent some people who shouldn’t have guns from getting them. How can you argue with that?
When Congress failed to act following the shooting and killing of children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I lost all hope that those who favor unfettered access to guns and those who support reasonable controls would somehow find common ground. Americans are too deeply divided over guns to find common ground; it's not going to happen. Ever. And yet, something must be done. Mass shootings are now daily occurrences, and no place feels safe--not our work places, our schools, our houses of worship, our doctors' offices, our movie theaters, our airplanes, or our streets. No place. We are fearful for our children's and loved-ones' safety and afraid for our own.
What are our elected representatives going to do to make a dent in this problem? Democrats have put forth common-sense proposals only to have them voted down by Republicans. Listen up Republicans: A no vote is not the same as a solution.
I want to know specifically what solutions Republicans are offering, and I want action now. If Republicans have no solutions, then their constituents must vote them out of office and replace them with politicians who are ready to compromise in order to reduce the carnage that guns and those who shouldn't possess them have wrought. Republican inaction has made us all sitting ducks.
I know that there is some ground between making it illegal to own an assault-type weapon on the one hand and handing them out at the grocery store on Saturday afternoons on the other. Michael is not smart enough or creative enough to figure that out, but there have to be some people in the U.S. who are.
Loosie... Where do grocery stores hand out assault-type weapons?
See, this is the libtard fantasy these morons substitute for reality.
Does California have "common-sense" gun control?
Pathetic!
Michael- a joke scenario. Like you and Karen and the cats! **HUGS**
