I'm beginning to think that these blogs are purposely stupid or just really bad jokes.

Since when do Americans have to give the government an explanation for why they "need" something? If that's the test, I can think of a whole list of things I don't know why anyone needs.I don't know why anyone needs to burn an American flag at a protest.

I don't know why anyone needs to bicycle in a city.
I don't know why anyone needs to have anal sex at a bathhouse. I won't stop them, but I don't know why anyone needs to do that.
I don't know why anyone needs to go hiking in national parks, where they're constantly falling off cliffs, being buried in avalanches and getting lost -- all requiring taxpayer-funded rescue missions.

^What Cultergeist misses is that the reason why people say "I don't know why anyone needs an assault rifle" is because that particular item is not only a threat to oneself, but to anyone and everyone.

Comparing something that affects others to something that only affects the person in question is kinda dumb.

BTW Culter....

If you think you're getting away with that gay innuendo about the bathhouses you're wrong....or maybe you would like to go to said bathhouses?

I think even the straight guys might be turned off to see you there.

That was innuendo? Looked pretty straightforward to me.

Ann Coulter is nothing but a fear monger! She is using her conservative views and hate of liberals to hate a fast buck. Why do you think she has the word "Liberal" on all her books!
