Man deemed criminally insane arrested with van full of guns [View all] Fuddnik Jan 2014 OP

Yes it does, as well as failure of our lax gun laws and failure to control gun accumulators. Hoyt Jan 2014 #1

the gun advocates haven't said that the amount of regulation they approve of will... CreekDog Jan 2014 #20

If you say so. The advocates I know would have never have let this man into the public again. NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #23

you're very sly...you're saying there shouldn't be gun laws regarding the criminally insane CreekDog Jan 2014 #26

There certainly should be laws to keep guns from the criminally insane. But violent offenders.... NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #38

i think the larger issue is why gungeoners like yourself don't want this topic discussed here CreekDog Jan 2014 #41

Hey, if Skinner decides to open up GD to guns again, that's fine with me. NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #42

not only did you state that you thought the OP was biased, you stated it as a reason to lock it. CreekDog Jan 2014 #45

Like I said, I was mistaken about bias, I don't think there is one. This guy was a gun nut!!!! NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #48

Maybe the word gun is referred to in order to avoid stuff like this: CreekDog Jan 2014 #49

It's almost like Godwin's Law. NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #50

i think that post, within 48 hours of Newtown shows where your values are CreekDog Jan 2014 #51

I'm sorry that all of this bothers you as much as it apparently does, CreekDog. NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #52

that post in the wake of Newtown was not about your hopes for "sensible gun laws" CreekDog Jan 2014 #53

Newtown. Here's a very thoughtful slideshow with a picture and little bit about each victim. NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #54

and on that day you were asking Skinner when gun threads would be disallowed once again CreekDog Jan 2014 #67

How does a criminally insane person get released, never mind get THREE dozen fireams? rocktivity Jan 2014 #2

I would say at this point he isn't insane.... Historic NY Jan 2014 #4

He has to be crazy. Fuddnik Jan 2014 #8

Link? seveneyes Jan 2014 #21

I'd like to see a link to that, got one? Ranchemp. Jan 2014 #28

Yes, I've run into that, too. Right here on DU. I don't have the link (like others are requesting) TrollBuster9090 Jan 2014 #73

The arguments about billh58 Jan 2014 #74

Absolutely. The Founders were slave owners, who didn't think women or people of color should vote, TrollBuster9090 Jan 2014 #75

this thread has been alerted as off-topic by several gungeoners CreekDog Jan 2014 #18

So what? Ranchemp. Jan 2014 #32

just a coincidence that gungeoners alerted on this one? CreekDog Jan 2014 #35

Still flogging that dead horse? Ranchemp. Jan 2014 #36

I've never alerted on any gun fancier's post, no matter how callous, sick and disgusting. Hoyt Jan 2014 #37

You welcome such posts in GD because you've been blocked from Ranchemp. Jan 2014 #39

Nope, I welcomed such GD posts long before I hurt Gungeoneers' feelings and got blocked. Hoyt Jan 2014 #40

You are a gem. Ranchemp. Jan 2014 #43

I see little reason to post "seriously" to folks who need a gun or two to venture out Hoyt Jan 2014 #46

As I said, you are the gift that keeps on giving to the pro 2A movement. Ranchemp. Jan 2014 #47

Got 'planted axiom'? friendly_iconoclast Jan 2014 #70

Nope, it is obvious to anyone not steeped in gunz. Get rid of yours, then look at gun fanciers. Hoyt Jan 2014 #71

I don't own any guns, which illustrates my point friendly_iconoclast Jan 2014 #72

Much as the instance related in the OP is the gift the the pro 2a gives back... LanternWaste Jan 2014 #66

I agree that there are idiots on both sides of the equation. Ranchemp. Jan 2014 #68

It would be interesting to find out how and where he was able to get them Packerowner740 Jan 2014 #19

That's what I'd like to see too. Of course, gun culture has long thrown road blocks into tracking Hoyt Jan 2014 #22

Why track them back to the origional owners? oneshooter Jan 2014 #24

Nah, just go back one step and see who sold them to the crazy gun-fucker. Iggo Jan 2014 #29

My question was why would you want to track back to the original owner? oneshooter Jan 2014 #31

And I'm agreeing with you that going back to the original owner doesn't make sense. Iggo Jan 2014 #33

Just like to see how many interim owners sold them in back alley for fistful of cash. Hoyt Jan 2014 #34

You sure do have a lot of might have beens in that post Packerowner740 Jan 2014 #56

You mean like some gun fancier who straps on a gun in the highly unlikely event Hoyt Jan 2014 #57

I agree that it should be investigated how he got the guns Packerowner740 Jan 2014 #58

I expected that, seeing as you are a Gungeon regular. Hoyt Jan 2014 #59

This is the second time you have said this. I challenge you to find even 5 posts I have made there Packerowner740 Jan 2014 #60

that and NRA talking points Duckhunter935 Jan 2014 #61

I assume you mean he will accuse me of using NRA talking points Packerowner740 Jan 2014 #69

correct but that does not matter Duckhunter935 Jan 2014 #76

Yeah! Go Nuts Racists Assholes! lonestarnot Jan 2014 #25

"Gun nut" already has meaning. Iggo Jan 2014 #27

Does the number of guns really matter? thesquanderer Jan 2014 #55

depends on the state and local regulations Duckhunter935 Jan 2014 #63

Clearly mentally ill. NCTraveler Jan 2014 #62

Is his last name Zimmerman? Myrina Jan 2014 #65
