Looks like you got a hidden post of a nasty reply. Reading your other replies, I am surprised juries hid only 1 as many are quite impolite. When were you polite?

2. I agree completely, but they will silence you the same way certain other types will.

Being polite is nice if discussing the most recent book club selection while enjoying tea and crumpets, but while talking about the gun situation, there should be no politeness, not yet.

The pro gun side simply has not earned it.

[hack89]

44. Yelling past each other is how the gun "discussion" goes down on DU

it hasn't been polite for eons.

[snooper2]

3. somebody get a timeout recently?

[TacoD]

4. I love me a good "I will not be silenced!" thread (nt)

[LanternWaste]

10. I love me a good irrelevant and petulant response.

I love me a good irrelevant and petulant response. (six of one, half a dozen of the other)

[pintobean]

19. Good one

[Logical]

5. FFS, meta whining. Nt

[TampaAnimusVortex]

22. Every shooting story brings this around again...

I could care less if anyone else is carrying guns. I'm not scared to go to the mall or the movies.

The crime rate has fallen pretty consistently across the board since the 70s, and even if it hadn't, I wouldn't be cowering in fear of some sniper on every corner.

There's bigger fish to fry here. I don't see the same panicked attitude towards the real killers... Heart disease and Cancer. If you want to really save lives, you'll be donating your time and resources to figuring out those little conundrums.

6. Someone's trying to silence you?

[NightWatcher]

8. Feel free to go nuts over in the Gun Forum

No one wants your drama here in General.

K thx bye

[pintobean]

9. !

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. You need one of these to TRULY get your point across;

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. !

And you call me weirdo.

[A HERETIC I AM]

23. LOL

I was gonna say "Lighten up, Francis" but I went with my first impulse!


Fires all done? You safe?

[cherokeeprogressive]

46. Fire Dudes and Dudettes went home yesterday.

Now the local Fire Folks are just moppin' up.

It was less than a mile from the house and burning in our direction. Thank God the winds were calm. Whew!

[cleanhippie]

12. You're right. You'll probably be silenced by MIRT.

[irisblue]

37. seems likely

not even 24 hours and already a hide, an inauspicious start.

[pintobean]

48. And amazingly familiar with the site.

[HassleCat]

14. Making it more likely

I think the ranting and name-calling makes it more likely they will be on the lookout for your posts. It's fine you want to call them out, but try to respect them as fellow people, fellow Democrats, while you're doing it. I mean, you don't have to, and I can't make you, but I think you'll be more successful in the long run.

[MohRokTah]

15. In before the lock.

[sharp_stick]

17. I love the .gif

May have to use that once or twice.

[boston bean]

16. I'm gonna give this a rec! and two thumbs up!

The freedumb lovers don't realize they are causing to society to be less free due to their frenzied pre-occupation with automatic killing devices.

Sure as shit, if they don't stop their stupid shit, we will have police on every corner armed to the gills to "protect" innocents from the assholes who don't have the foresight to realize they caused the police state.

If they don't give up on their irrational love of feedumb of guns for all, that is what society will end up being. A police state. How else is one to keep people safe from these lunatics without more protection from them.

Give it up gun nuts. You are not only causing major damage to innocents, but will cause this countries public spaces have to guarded like it's Fort Knox. Police everywhere, searches, scans. Fuck.that.shit.

[MoonRiver]

25. What boston bean, and don lemon, said!

[cleanhippie]

26. Thats a whole lot of rhetoric and not very much substance.

I'm not sure how you get all of that from the cold hard fact that 99.9% of the 125 million+ legal gun owners in this country have never shot or killed another human, have never committed a crime with a gun, are are least likely compared to the general population to ever do any of that in the future.


But hey, who can argue with solid facts like

frenzied pre-occupation with automatic killing devices.

and

if they don't stop their stupid shit

and

How else is one to keep people safe from these lunatics without more protection from them.

and

You are not only causing major damage to innocents,

I know I can't. It;s simply just too intellectually powerful for me to refute.

Well done!

[boston bean]

27. Their freedumb loving fight to own them makes it easy for lunatics

and criminals to get a hold of them.

But Hell NO they too worried about their precious semi auto's they paid a few hundred for to make themselves feel safe even when it makes them and EVERYONE ELSE less safe, even that simple concept escapes them.

[ileus]

18. Preach it my brother!

I never feel afraid....

[cherokeeprogressive]

50. Yeah... but going to the mall makes me {SHIVER} with fright! n/t

[sarisataka]

20. Even though

I didn't alert- because I don't actually give a shit what you call me; I've been called worse by those better at doing so, I will extend an olive branch:

It might help you stay here longer.

[lpbk2713]

21. I'll come back around 10:30pm tonight.

We can celebrate your one day anniversary.

[Throd]

24. What makes a person a "gun humper" in your book?

[arcane1]

28. I'm glad I'm not afraid all the time.

You should try it.

[boston bean]

30. You don't mind a society that sees a mass shooting every two weeks?

That has absolutely no impact upon you at all?

The ease of availability of guns is what is causing this issue. And the reason it's so easy to get them is because the ones who wouldn't use them for a bad purpose think any control over them, is infringing upon their freedom.

And that is what makes them gun nuts. It makes absolutely no sense. And yes they do have some responsibility in this.

[arcane1]

31. You are dishonestly putting words in my mouth I didn't say.

Why must you be dishonest? Try telling the truth about people and see what happens.

So I'm not afraid when I leave the house. Is that a crime now?

[boston bean]

32. It was a question. Nothing more and then after the question a point.

I put no words in your mouth.

You want to speak to the question or the point, please do.

[uppityperson]

34. "You don't mind" is a statement, even if followed by a question mark. "don't you mind" is a question

even if not followed by an exclamation mark.

"you don't" = statement
"don't you" = question

Do you understand? That is also a question. "You do understand?" however is not a question but a statement.

See?

[arcane1]

35. Thank you

[boston bean]

39. It was a question, a simple question. Do you or don't you mind?

[arcane1]

40. A stupid question.

"Just Asking Questions", are we?

[boston bean]

42. You're the one having the issue with it.

For me, it was a simple question, that went unanswered by you.

[lamp_shade]

29. Kick and rec.

[pintobean]

33. A long time member pulled this stunt after Sandy Hook

in the Meta forum. It didn't work out so well for him. He racked up a bunch of hides in the next few days and really embarrassed himself. He hardly ever posts anymore. I guess you don't have that much to lose.

[MisterP]

38. people in Central America, the *planet's murder capital*, expressed sympathy for *US* over Aurora

everyone should think on that

[Travis_0004]

41. You have 19 post and you think people are out to get you?

I doubt most people even know who you are.

[hack89]

49. That's nice. nt
