Forget blaming the strip clubs for this, let’s blame the GUN MANUFACTURERS. Or better yet, let’s blame the leadership in Washington for creating such a terrible economy. I thought conservatives were all about personal responsibility, but it seems as time goes on you folks are trying to out liberal the liberals
Well, Kelly, the recession that is occurring is worldwide and not just in the US. There is plenty of blame to go around regarding the recession including both Democrats and Republicans. Democrats were ones insisting that lending rules be weakened which led to many people getting into houses they could not afford. That was the beginning of foreclosures and the beginning of the recession. Now, I happen to think it is good to have as many people in American buying homes as possible, but perhaps this went beyond what is possible. The administration was at fault for overspending and allowing deficits to rise.
It is just so easy to blame gun manufacturers for shooting in a strip club. After all, they manufactured a gun that was legal to manufacture. All laws were upheld in that manufacture. However, it is not legal for someone to take that gun and shoot someone with it. I just find it amusing how airheads and know-nothings spout off these little ideas that are so easy to say but have nothing to do with reality. Get over it. Strip clubs are not the highest level of virtue in society. They are not immune from mob influence, and not all strippers are working to make money so they can become neurosurgeons or pediatricians.
