Notice Regardless of what the gun nuts say

[dviss1]

Okay well "gun nuts" are an extremely small portion of society, small enough to not make a difference. Gun owners on the other hand are the force you are actually reckoning with. The "sport shooting" community isn't swaying shit, it's the millions of regular gun owners who clamor to keep their rights. When you bring up a small insignificant group it makes it seem like you are the one projecting that label at the rest of us who simply own guns and don't get boners from them.

I disagree completely.

You're getting butthurt and frankly we don't care if you have to go through something extra to obtain a firearm.

Something needs to be done. Y'all don't want to do one thing.

The ability to obtain firearms needs speed limits and stop signs.

Let us see the logic here.

Kids under 21 lack the mental maturity to own weapons.
But we can have them protest with moral authority that having weapons should be eliminated as a right in the Constitution.

My goodness! This makes sense.

It's called free speach and even kids have it.

 

[Lanny]

Indeed! That is why we hold them. One more Justice on the court and I will be pleased before and after the next election.

One more impeachment would make me even more happy.

Fake news. I hate how y'all start with this BULLSHIT notion.

It's fucking bullshit through and through and is the hugest strawman...

To be fair, there are some (background checks, waiting periods, prohibition for felons, gun-free zones, concealed-carry restrictions, etc.). You just want a few more. Not saying there's anything wrong with that--just want to clarify.

If you're subscribing to a notion that there aren't huge holes in that system...

Sure there are, no doubt. There are huge holes in the system of driving laws too. No dispute on either.

The lack of driving laws aren't killing people the way guns are.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The lack of driving laws aren't killing people the way guns are.

Rather than contrasting laws with objects, I'd think we should probably compare apples to apples.

• "The lack of driving laws aren't killing people the way the lack of gun laws are."
• "Cars aren't killing people the way guns are."

Both statements would be highly debatable.

Still, I'm not saying that existing gun laws mean that no further ones would be valuable, or that holes in the existing driving laws justify holes in gun laws. Just saying that your most recent statement is a tad off.

This is America and you have a right to your opinion no matter how goofy it might be.

Actually I did at first, but then a mod (me) edited that post so it wouldn't be perceived as a personal attack. That jerk...

You're getting butthurt and frankly we don't care if you have to go through something extra to obtain a firearm.

"Frankly, we don't care if you have to go through something extra to vote."
"Frankly, we don't care if you have to go through something extra to get a fair trial."
"Frankly, we don't care if you have to go through something extra to be able to practice your religion (or not be forced to practice mine)."

Your issue is with the Constitution. Which is one of the reasons progressives are failing so hard to change things about it. Even in Chicago when they forced through what they wanted, it got overturned because of...you guessed it...not being Constitutional. It's not driving. It's not health care. It's not abortion. It's not minimum wage. Your statement above is not in accordance with the Constitution, the rights that citizens all live with, not necessarily regulations we live by.
The populace doesn't get to vote on the Constitution. We get to vote on reps that we hope make laws that do what we want as they're in accordance with the Constitution, and if there's a convention the representatives of the states will vote, but you and I can't change it.

How could that be a personal attack, unless you referred inappropriately to a third party such as Sly.

Beware of Sly, he is lurking everywhere. Also, I wouldn't slam dogs if I were you.

It wouldn't by most, but I nearly always err on the side of politeness and courtesy.

An admirable trait which I strive to achieve even if I have to redouble my efforts from time to time.

Ha!
I like my chances of getting what pleases me. I also like your chances of getting what pleases you.

Ha! Getting you to work up some hate doesn't take much effort.
But, you can be pleased, Lanny likes your post!
Ha! That's like Minnie Mouse getting a like from Mickey!

The revolution is coming.

You need guns to have a revolution.

Ironic.

That's a problem for many who are overly infatuated with guns. Some revolutions don't require guns as weapons to support their cause. e.g. The Civil Rights revolution.

Your issue is with the Constitution. .

None of those things are detrimental to the safety of others. We've installed regulations on amendments for safety reasons before.

Why can't you yell fire in a crowded theater without penalty if someone is hurt?

Sorry but it's NOT your constitutional right to own a killing machine. And even if it was, that right can be regulated for public safety.

No. No you don't.

Were guns used during the industrial revolution?

 

[Denny Crane]

No. No you don't.

What makes you think they weren't?

Guns have been around a long time.

You have a weird definition for the word hate. But this is typical of your posts.

Guns were used to suppress the civil rights movement.

How'd that work out for the Jim Crow supporters?

More insults? Why not stick to the post and leave your characterizations out of it?
