that the drummed-up hysteria and fear-mongering that is the foundation of the AWB is what is leading to incidences such as we're now reading about. Without lies and fear-mongering the AWB crowd has no basis for their agenda. So they ratchet up public angst to the point where a child carrying a toy is confronted with deadly force. But Heaven forefend the hysterics and fear-mongers back off their rhetoric and children not be gunned down in the streets or paramilitary raids. They know what's best for the "public good."

That's the entire point. You may not agree with the point but you should have the integrity to not distort what I say to satisfy your own ego.

It seems like that is pure conjecture on your part... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #25

Yeah, the fact that I'd lived in this country for over 50 years brush Nov 2013 #29

What do any of those have to do with this case? Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #36

A little hesitance in opening fire was in order brush Nov 2013 #38

There might be parallels... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #39

They're also the same police who enforce the jart ban. EOTE Nov 2013 #3

"common sense gun legislation" Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #4

I shouldn't have to, but closing the gun show loophole is certainly a small start. EOTE Nov 2013 #8

"NOTHING should be banned because police would be responsible for enforcing that ban, right?" Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #12

So, you're for replacing the police force and forgetting the stupid suggestion that we shouldn't EOTE Nov 2013 #15

That isn't even close to what I said. Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #19

You suggested that we shouldn't have gun legislation because cops would enforce those laws. EOTE Nov 2013 #21

Those aren't used for lynching by cop uponit7771 Nov 2013 #5

No, they're not. EOTE Nov 2013 #9

No, just don't use them primiarly on minorities where they wouldn't use them if the person was white uponit7771 Nov 2013 #18

I'm not quite sure what you're saying/suggesting, but I have great issue with police in this country EOTE Nov 2013 #20

"I'm not quite sure what you're saying/suggesting" :eek: !!! That a disproportionate amount of people uponit7771 Nov 2013 #22

OK, I understand what you're saying and I agree entirely. EOTE Nov 2013 #24

I don't understand your post brush Nov 2013 #6

No, I'm just pointing out what an incredibly silly argument is being made. EOTE Nov 2013 #7

I get it now. I'm with you. nt brush Nov 2013 #30

I don't get G_j Nov 2013 #10

Well, let's just get those murder laws off the books! kcr Nov 2013 #11

Seriously. Laws altogether, really. I mean, police are just going to shoot you. EOTE Nov 2013 #13

Pretty twisted kcr Nov 2013 #14

False dichotomy. Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #16

Well kcr Nov 2013 #17

Ending the murder inducing hysteria over semi-auto rifles is NOT a call to strike all laws. Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #26

So your mentioning of bans was merely incidental, right? kcr Nov 2013 #27

My god you have an utter disdain for logic. EOTE Nov 2013 #23

I'm not suggesting anything, I'm stating plainly -- if you can be truthful for 5 mins. -- Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #28

BS. You said NOTHING about any hysteria in your OP, just your contention that we shouldn't ban EOTE Nov 2013 #31

I think it's funny that when she must have realized how stupid and crazy the OP came across kcr Nov 2013 #32

It's like she's arrived at a conclusion and desperately trying to find out how she got there. EOTE Nov 2013 #34
