And he finds nothing wrong, told the Web site AZFamily.com club manager Ron Kennedy.
The photo is offering a way to clarify the right of people to bear arms,
"to give them an opportunity to bring their passion for expression.
We see this as absolutely nothing wrong."

it has nothing to do with the right to bear arms - lol
it's Christmas !!!   :bg

so - there is nothing legally wrong
they have the right to do whatever they like, i suppose
it's just a social blunder, as i see it

It is imperative that we Americans indoctrinate our children early so they will grow up to be good fighting soldiers. American parenting, the best there is!

Actually it's imperative to indoctrinate our children early so they can defeat the liberal progressive socialist dictators who wish to control every aspect of our lives.

asmGhost is a bit confused. The philosophy of Conservatism is as old as greed but was first stated in the US of A by President Coolidge: "The business of government is business." He was wrong of course. The business of our government is exactly that which appears in the preamble to our Constitution: "to... promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity". Liberals care about their fellow man the environment and about anything good. Conservatives care about big corporations, themselves, guns and money. Yes liberalism is progressive, we are those who want the economy to succeed and go forth. Conservatives are those who want to give all power to the markets and put a hand gun in every hip pocket. When you give it any real thought you come to realize that the true opposite of a Liberal is a Fascist. :bg

Here is what liberalism in America means.
I Got 15 Kids & 3 Babydaddys-SOMEONE'S GONNA PAY FOR ME & MY KIDS!!!
Basically being entitled to everyone else's hard work and money because of your own bad choices.

And lets not forget the shining examples of those who want everyone else to provide them with "Welfare, and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity".
As long as they don't have to work for it.

30 tonnes of debris???? 300,000,000 million hard working Americans shafted by the bankers and the elite.... What is America's sense of worth???? :lol

ghost, this is something that always made me laugh, Americans have never seen a welfare society or a society that sees that its people as important enough to look after. While the US as the largest economy in the world still does not have universal health care and being sick will send you broke trying to raise a fortune to pay for health care, a sh*thole like Cuba can and does take care of its people, if you are sick and poor in the US, swim to Cuba to get those commos to try and make you well again.

The US conservative view on what you call liberals matches nothing in the world except their own imagination, England, Europe, Canada, NZ and OZ all have reasonable health care systems yet the US has a health care system that is of the quality of the 3rd world if you have no money. Trying to compete with Botswanaland or Bangladesh for providing the worst health care in the world hardly helps poor Americans to get better health wise.

When it comes to 30 tons of junk in LA, its a case of who gives a PHUK when you have people in the world's largest economy dying due to poverty. This situation is a disgrace that reflects very badly on the US yet when Obama tried to initiate a universal health care system the loonie tune right preferred to believe their own bullsh*t about how a health care system would bring the US to its knees when most developed countries already have one with no real problems.

our government has 1 simple rule - that's all they can manage   :lol

1) if you're poor, you don't matter

Huricane Katrina comes to mind
if New Orleans wasn't so heavily populated by poor folks, they might have done something

Any large group with voting rights has to matter, at least somewhat. And the initial FEMA response to Katrina was just plain old incompetence, at multiple levels.

I find it interesting that the very people who seem so upset about other people "Sponging" off the government,like children getting school lunchs are (at least in their own words) Christians,whose rule about loving your brother seems to only apply to your RICH brother.
I love the quote from Gandhi

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." Gandhi

[MichaelW]

While I have no problem with school lunches, I do have a problem with people sponging off of the taxpayers in a system that is rife with fraud, and which our government will not police to any significant extent.
