You're definitely in the minority if you don't think Chris Rock is one of the funiest m*&$@# f$#@%$# on this planet.

That's for the USMB monitors...

I see.

One of my favorite jokes from him involves Marion Barry, the only convicted crackhead ever to get re-elected(as far as I know), and goes something like this:

How bad was his opponent?
What was his slogan-- "don't vote for crack, vote for smack!?"

That one about the $5000 bullets really gets me going, but maybe you have to live in a city to get that.

Stern is an idiot whose show depends on his right to say "tits" on air. That really shows the level of his listenership. Oh. for the challenged: IT SHOWS IT"S LOW.

Why, do you know of a country where this has worked well?
Guns are made to kill people,and all to often in the US...they do.

Its common sense. If you take the guns away from the law abiding citizens, who has them? the non law abiding citizens. and what are they going to do if they know no one is going to stop them? shoot people. i mean its totally logical.

howard stopped being funny and relivent 10 years ago. he isn't for free speech. he's for free pubicity for howard. he tired to get o and a fired for mentioning his name! free speech my ass. he was down in the ratings before and went up a tad after he started ranting but is still down somthing like 60 or 75% of where he used to be. he should have retired long ago. he pulls this shit every few years saying he's going to quit and the fcc is after him. besides can someone tell me one state howard is on that is actual in play this election? there are none.

That would not worh either, people can make their own bullets if they want. The truth is that guns just fall into the hands of the wrong people. Making harsher laws on guns will not help, making it easier for the average citizen to carry a gun would see crime drop in a lot of places! Unfortunately there will always be away to get a gun if you want one, and most criminals know where to get them.

don't you love it when the LMM gets in on the gun bashing. I recently saw on the loacl news a gun recall for faulty holsters. Now this probably effects maybe 5 people in the local area. However it instills fear into the people. "OMG, the guns are unsafe. Now even more people will die."

Fucking socialist pigs want us to all die.

Howard Stern is taking responsibility for his own crap - via the relatively free market place. At the very least, the FCC should stop its patronizing and baby-sitting behavior - dictating what things people may or may not say over television and radio. I'd like to see the FCC abolished. It is just another example of how the US is progressing (or regressing) into more of a "nanny-state".

The FCC HAS the right to do this because the rules have always been in place, they have just never been enforced strictly until the Janet Jackson thing. The FCC grants the licensing for radio shows. The government OWNS the radio waves and the FCC is a government organization.

Here is an analogy that may help some people understand. Let's say that you are just getting your license to drive. There are rules and regulations you must follow, as well as fees to get that license. If you are caught breaking the rules, the cops may write you a ticket-then you pay the fine. The cops are 'owned' by the government. So is the FCC. Think of the FCC as the police force. If you break the rules, you will get reprimanded.

Because the government OWNS the airwaves, and issues the licensing to OWN a radio station, they have the right to limit what is aired on them. Howard Stern has been on the air for so long (too long to me) that his pathetic vile behavior finally caught up with him, and he's just pissing in his diapers because he was finally BUSTED for breaking the rules.

In Switzerland, lots of people have guns. They often let people in the military keep their rifle at home. I think they might have a few more regulations now, but even when they did not, I think violent crime rates were pretty low.

I can understand where people are coming from when they agree with background checks and not giving guns to convicted violent criminals. Perhaps it has kept some from getting guns. But people also need to realize that guns still are pretty easy to get (people smuggling them, stealing them, having someone with a clean record get it for them, private sellers, etc) and that criminals will get guns and will not care how they get them.

Also, I agree that people don't really need AK-47s, but assault weapons bans are often arbitrary and certain guns are often included that probably should not be. In addition, few crimes are even committed with these types of weapons and it still won't stop criminals from getting them because they wouldn't give a shit if they are illegal.

What about countries such as England, Scotland and Ireland? Not even the police carry guns. Everyone I met out there didn't even own a gun, from the most rural areas to the most urban and their crime rate is pretty low, especially in comparison to the states.

I'm just posing this question. I actually believe everyone has a right to own guns, but I do believe in making them a little safer, like smart guns or at the very least, trigger locks... though I think trigger locks would be hassle.

Really?

Interesting. I read your link.

I still stand by my statement that when I was out there (for 3 months), I didn't see a single gun, even on the police officers. All they carried were clubs for their self defense.

Everyone of my uncles and extended family that live in Ireland have MULTIPLE guns in their homes. Every house I was in had them. And no they don't live in Belfast

If you read some of the posts here, it's going to be hard to have that armed revolt if GW is re-elected. Especially when the military has tanks:
