In reply to the discussion: If it's about guns, cool. If it's about people, count me out. [View all]Erose999
(5,624 posts)6. Sorry, but the culture is as much a part of it as the guns themselves. Yesterday I got called a
"america hating liberal Democrat" and a "Nazi koolaid drinker" and worse by some "delicate flower" yesterday.
"Freedom hating liberal democrats who support keeping up murderers in jail and keeping up dead beats too sorry to work by stealing from the working people. Hell Hoss .62 cents of every dollar ain't enough for y'all yellow bellied buzzards??? Now Washington is wanting to raise taxes more! Let me guess Egypt needs a few more fighter jets, let's raise taxes! Y'all are a disgrace to America!"
"Dang good point on the cigarettes! Companies can kill, no problem, a lunatic kills, oh hell let's ban guns ban ammo ban knifes ban hammers ban axes ban tomahawks ban crossbows ban bow and arrows ban every damn thing. It's like you said, these ignoramus idiots can't think for themselves and they believe every thing they hear from the government. Here's the best reason I can give y'all liberal freedom hating Americans on why I should be able to have an AR15 with a millions rounds. Because I want to have it. Case closed. If that's a problem then they need to ban BMWs, Mercedes, Lexus and all the other luxurious cars that people WANT not NEED
"It's the democrats that want to take God out of the pledge, it's the democrats who want to take guns away from citizens, it's the democrats who'd rather keep up foreign countries than America, it's te democrats who want to tax working citizens by half of what the bring in, it's the democrats who want to give hand outs to dead beats, it's the democrats who's still at war abroad, it's the democrats who wants to repeal some amendments so Obama can run for a third term, its the democrats who wants me to pay more taxes so a dead beat can have free health care so you tell me who hates freedom and liberty? Liberal Democrats"
And I got all this just for saying that it was an apples/oranges comparrison to compare an AR-15 with a 30 round mag to a hammer or a steak knife because hammers and steak knives have purposes other than shooting people.
Gun culture is the biggest thing driving these mass shootings, and these fucknuts who spend 23 hours a day fantasizing about the Turner Diaries and a race war, and the other hour beating off to the centerfold in this month's Guns and Ammo, while using Hoppes no. 9 as a lubricant.... they need to be taken down a peg.

Oh, you're right, military styled rifles are just a convenient scapegoat du jour.

I don't see the problem with discussing a wide range of policies on the internet.

I haven't seen any discussion of microstamping at all in the wake of Sandy Hook.

Some folks insist on hanging on those suicides because it inflates the number to something to go on

Most of those folks are ATTENTION SEEKERS rather than being serious about suicide
