Guns should not be kept in houses where children are present

156. Hardly. I'm just someone that sticks to his principles.

"stop being childish. you know exactly what i mean."

I know exactly what you SAID. Say what you mean, or don't complain that people should know what you mean.

"i posted you a chart, because you seem to have trouble with words. you still don't get it."

Wait - I have problems with words? I'm the one that can't be bothered to even attempt to use paragraphs or punctuation or say what they mean and mean what they say? Really? Thats a mighty bad case of projection you have there, I must say. Beyond that...I get it just fine. You posted a chart in support of your assertion that there are "14 states with NO gun laws. Not "weak" gun laws, or "lacking" gun laws. No gun laws. You know you're wrong, I know you're wrong, and now you're trying to stealth backpeddle.


"I personally, wouldn't qualify 'anyone over 18 gets a sniper rifle' as any kind of law. it is a glaring lack of laws, especially when the GUY WHO MAKES THE SNIPER RIFLES is ON THE NRA BOARD: RONNIE BARRETT .50cal SNIPER RIFLE AVAILABLE IN 48 STATES."

Being that the "sniper rifles" you're referring to basically aren't used in crime, I don't see what your problem with them is. A solution in search of a problem is about all I can extrapolate about your views on them, from that screed.

"14 states have BASICALLY NO GUN LAWS. any sane person with eyes can see that by looking at a simple chart."

Exhibit A. First it was "no gun laws" now its "basically no gun laws". Textbook backpeddling, with a side order of "i didn't mean what I said".

"you are bascially saying the entire populations of CA and MA are weaklings and dumb for allowing themselves to be oppressed. real mature."

I said nothing of the sort.

"from that point on, i didn't even read your crap, because it is another big jumble of plagiarized groupthink."

Lol. My positions are mine. I formulate them, based on my own thinking. Not from of any groupthink.

"hardy freaking har. some guy on an NRA chat board stole your carefully prepared 'positions'?"

Those are examples of public officials and statements, of those who want to ban all guns who came out and said so. The list was created for the purpose of reminding ignorant people that yes, indeed, there are those that DO want to ban all guns. Nothing more, nothing less.

"you are so full of it i can smell it thru the internet."

I bet you can tell what people are thinking too.

"i personally think you ARE that dude you claim stole your shit, so WTF are you doing? really?"

Look, I've been an active poster and reader on DU since 2004, and I really don't care what you think. The dates and timestamps prove that what I claimed was true, is true. If you don't want to check it out for yourself, and would rather base your opinions of me on your own prejudice, well, that says alot more about you than it does me.

"your shill is really shrill, that's about all i have to say."

I'm not shilling for anyone or anything. I state my opinion, and spell out my position, and I've been far more pleasant and far less insulting, arrogant and abusive doing it in this subthread than you have.

"i really couldn't care less what you say you 'think' about guns, stop wasting my time!"

Save yourself the time and don't bother responding to me then. Blame yourself rather than someone else if you can't stop yourself from doing so. This IS a discussion board, not your personal space.

"and stop defending the NRA, they are a bunch of greedy assholes!"

I haven't really defended the nra. In fact, its essentially you thats been talking about them. Maybe if you adressed my actual positions, rather than contriving one and assigning it to me, we could have a discussion.

Look buddy, I've been a poster on DU for a very very long time. I make no effort to hide the fact that I lean pro-gun rights, and I'm not about to, just to make you happy. I've seen people playing the games you are. The "I said x but I meant y" game. Trust me, you aren't coming up with anything new here. Its all been seen and done before, and recognised for what it is. Eventually, those that play the "I said x but I meant Y" game go the way of iverglas.
