Exclusive Poll: What would your preferred United States firearm policy be?

[dviss1]

Says the guy who fears cops because of his melanin count.

Says the guy who doesn't because of his melanin type?

We all have melanin but there are three forms of melanin phenomelanin , euromelanin , and neuromelonin.

Educate yourself.

 

[H.C.]

Idk what conservatives need to feel safe. The same way that I don’t know what libcucktards need to feel safe.

Still waiting on that IG.

smh, you don't even know what you're talking about.
You don't have a response, therefore you resort to an unintelligent response for a reaction.
Well you failed, you only confirmed what I already know.

Spoiler

Don't worry. Keep the act up. I'm sure everyone on the internet is impressed with your high school attitude.
Personally I don't have to go around anywhere telling people my dick is bigger than theirs like you feel the need to.
Oh right I forgot, because I don't compare dick size. I'm a cuck. 10 4.

Man, I’ve got you all sorts of butthurt.

I’m sorry I can’t answer your question about adequate feelings of security for conservatives.

Still waiting on that IG boy. She shouldn’t have to suffer sexually, just because, you know...

Man, I’ve got you all sorts of butthurt.

I’m sorry I can’t answer your question about adequate feelings of security for conservatives.

But you were able to identify my post as cuckimony or whatever you called it.
Seems logical.

I don't think you know what butthurt means.
I'll help you.

So just because I can tell a cuck said something, means I should know what a conservative needs to feel safe?

Still waiting on that IG. Or just give me a link to your craigslist ad.

I asked a question.
Regardless what you identify as you couldn't answer question nor have any input on the topic.
Therefore you said it was posted by a 'cuck' in order to prevent discussion/dismiss it.

Exactly what both parties did in the 2016 election.
Exactly what conservatives everywhere have said about the kids walking out of class for 17 minutes.

What is the amount of armament you need to feel safe?
Why is it some guns are illegal to own by a citizen right now? Why isn't that an infringement of the 2nd amendment?

 

[dviss1]

I don't disagree. To me, it was pretty blatant. I cringed reading it. I understand why it upset you and generated the response it did. But it wasn't a rules violation, so there wasn't really anything I could do about it.

I can't stop people from being...the kind of person that they are. However deplorable that kind of person may be. But I get it...at least as much as I am able to get it.

You know what, I thought racism wasn't allowed in the forum either. I thought that was a rules violation...

 

[dviss1]

Yeah, just edumacate yaself like this young king.

You know what, I thought racism wasn't allowed in the forum either. I thought that was a rules violation...

I think there's a difference between hateful or insulting racist speech (which would definitely be a rules violation) and comments that expose a poster's racist mindset (which, while troubling, is probably not a violation).

Sports Two Rules

1. All posters with honorable intentions are welcome.

2. This is a big site with a lot of members. You may not like every one of them. However, we expect everyone to at least respect each other.

3. Respect the moderators, global moderators, producers, commissioners, admins, and other staff members of SportsTwo.

4. Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another in good fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed.

5. Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not.

6. SportsTwo is to be a work-friendly and family-friendly site. While there is no blanket rule on how to enforce this, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce this rule and how to enforce it.

7. Everyone is here to offer their opinions, so be prepared to have people disagree with your opinions. There is a difference between attacking someone's post (their opinion) and attacking the poster with the latter not allowed. The staff is here to monitor for such occurrences.

8. Users who have multiple accounts will be publicly identified.

9. We can't anticipate all of the things the staff may find unacceptable. Again, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce any unwritten policies they deem fit, and you are expected to abide by these judgments.

10. The staff is here to be of service any way we can. If you have questions or need help with anything, feel free to PM a mod, GM, Producer, Commissioner, or an Admin.

11. We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time.

However, it's possible that I'm parsing too much, and @Denny Crane or @SlyPokerDog could weigh in with a more authoritative response.

Me personally? Pistols, shotguns, ninja stars, and semi-automatic rifles. If cucks wanna call that an “Assault Rifle” I don’t care (unless cucks try saying I can’t have the scary “Assault Rifle” then I care).

Which guns specifically are you talking about?

@Nate I met you last year and you're a hell of a nice guy, your buddy was a little cooler but that is besides the point. Please stop firing up @dviss1. I know it can be fun to fuck with people, I do it all the time myself, but it's reached a point where it's not fun for @dviss1 and @PtldPlatypus. You've had your fun, please leave him alone.

@dviss1 you kinda go from idling to 120 mph in an instant. Instead of assuming the worst of what someone posts try to take a couple of minutes and explain why that is offensive to you. I know all of the staff cares about this community first and foremost, and none of them want to see this forum as a place that encourages racism. To be perfectly honest with you I try to keep an eye out for things that could be racist and hurtful. It's a rapidly changing world, it's hard to keep up with what's racist and what isn't. Just last month in the Caption Contest I posted a lyric from a Jay Z song, in got back to me that instead of talking to me publicly or privately you went to a 3rd party and accused me of being racist. That hurt and confused me. It was never my intention to be offensive to you or anyone else and has soon as it was brought to my attention I deleted the post. It's hard, I grew up in NE Portland, what some would label as black culture I view as a culture that I'm comfortable with and part of in many ways. I liked the movie Boys in the Hood, I read that reference in a post in this thread and it being racist sailed right over my head. To assume that it was made as an insult to you seems like a pretty big leap. That's not saying that it isn't offensive to you. But if it is explain why.

@Cippy91 holy shit you fly off the handle sometimes. Man, you gotta mellow. You paint these grand statements of liberal this and that. Mellow out man. I don't think you intend to insult someone but if someone says something is offending them why argue with it? If I say something that offends you then say something and I will walk it back and apologize. It's not that hard.

And yes, I'm calling all of you out because this community doesn't need more rules. It needs just a bit more civility, understanding, and respect. For the most part we're friends, I think most of us have met in person. (With the exception of @Cippy91 but hopefully that will change soon.)

I love all of you.

Fuck off!

Love, Sly

What the cuck

 

[Cippy91]

@Cippy91 breaks that rule all the time when he argues with
@riverman. Where are you then? That's right, crickets.

But when it comes to defending racism, here you come outta the sky with your cape on...

I insulted him a couple times on one day. That was on me. Mostly because it was on mental illness and despite my personal story, he just refused to listen and that shit actually got me heated. But yeah that ones on me. What’s your point?

 

[Nate]

Very well @SlyPokerDog if that is you’re real name...

I will end my crusade for H’white rights, on one condition!

Someone tell me how to make a sig or whatever it’s called. Like where it’s says woof under slys name.

 

[Cippy91]

Where's the insult? Suggesting that you have friends that he might classify as "boys in the hood"? Stereotypical, clearly. Racist, probably. Objectionable, obviously. Insulting--I don't think so.

It’s not even racist Jesus Christ. The double standard of dviss making fun of “white boys” all the time, gets a pass. I make an actual joke, I’m a racist now. Come on man. Sorry I didn’t put the green font there but for fucks sake

 

[Cippy91]

So you're tryna tell me that's not a personal insult??? REALLY??? He certainly didn't insult my post. He said that directly to me. His racist statement wasn't even a dog whistle call. He's one of those types to call someone racist for calling out racism but then says he didn't make a racist statement when we both know how blatant it was. It's a cowardly bitch move.

I’m a cowardly cracker bitch

[Natebishop3]

Never said, you said I was. Was only stating out that I'm not a liberal for the millionth time.
As some(on both sides) if you don't agree with them. They instantly label you the opposition.
So they force you to constantly repeat something like that.

Knowing how to handle a gun doesn't make me feel protected from the government if they decided to use the military to take over.
Literally if the government decided they were going to put the populace on lock down via force. No amount of armaments a citizen could own, would protect them against any of the options the military has. Frankly anyone using that argument is either complete delusional, or they're living in the 20's. Thinking that the military would go door to door if you were proving to be a 'problem'.

So back to the question.
What amount of armaments does a conservative need to feel protected in their day to day life?
(I haven't paid close enough attention to figure out if you're a conservative, liberal, or anything else. Just putting that word out there because you used liberal.)

I couldn't answer for conservatives because I'm not one. I like to think of myself as fluid. I have some beliefs that would fall on the left and some that would fall on the right.

With that said, I agree with you that if the US military decided to take a city, there's nothing we could do to stop them. Similar to how they conquered Iraq or Afghanistan in a mere matter of days/weeks.

It's not the taking that's difficult. It's the holding. The US military does not have the troops to take and hold the entire United States, and that's where having an armed populace comes into play. How do you stage a resistance without weapons? It's a war of attrition and a battle of wills. We won the Revolutionary War because of guerrilla warfare and insurgency, with the aid of the French. We did it before and we could do it again. Of course, if the government decided to just nuke entire cities, that would make it all moot, but they'd lose the support of the rest of the world awfully fast if they started killing millions of people.

Also, there does not exist a list of guns presently in the United States. Nobody knows where most of the guns are located, who owns them, or what kinds are possessed. So staging any kind of confiscation would be nearly impossible. That's why countries like Australia did a buy-back as a means to encourage people to turn them in on their own.

When it comes to someone being racist, I don't think that when he says:

My "boys in the hood".. or "edumacate"

that it needs explaining. To me those are pretty obvious.

And no I didn't accuse you of being racist but you shouldn't repeat (IDGAF if they're song lyrics or not) things that are on page 101 of the racism handbook. Also, the CPT time joke wasn't a good joke. I even answered it like Obama did Hillary.

That got plenty of laughs at the correspondent's dinner, crickets in here:

Also lol: there you go again, telling someone they can’t partake in social humor, because of the color of their skin.
