Highlight:

Woman's life threatened by gun 'enthusiasts' after developing a safer firearm. [View all] RandySF Apr 2014 OP

These "enthusiasts" are nothing but bullying, violent thugs villager Apr 2014 #1

they are COWARDS Skittles Apr 2014 #2

They're terrorists. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #4

SAME THING Skittles Apr 2014 #6

No, they're not. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #19

IOKIYAR. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #21

Is that a new brand of Greek yogurt or something? I love that stuff! Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #22

It's OK If You Are Republican CrispyQ Apr 2014 #33

meh -- I like Greek yogurt better Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #38

LOL. "both sides" DanTex Apr 2014 #47

Yes, as proven by the blowhard posts about "terr'ism!!!" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #51

Oh yeah, I forgot, you were the one comparing Cliven Bundy to Rosa Parks. DanTex Apr 2014 #56

Again, it's not terrorism. Anymore than OWS refusing to vacate property after being ordered was. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #61

Please proceed, governer... DanTex Apr 2014 #63

You forget to post the picture of your goons aiming sniper rifles long before that picture was taken Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #71

And, obviously, the solution is guns for everyone! Cliven Bundy, the hero! DanTex Apr 2014 #75

As opposed to the idea that the goons should have a monopoly on guns? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #85

Actually, yes, the state has a monopoly on the use of force. That's part of what makes it the state. DanTex Apr 2014 #87

The state is lawful and benevolent, until it isn't. Throd Apr 2014 #90

Very profound. DanTex Apr 2014 #92

Your goons ARE the warlords. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #93

Of course the police serve the law. As do the courts. DanTex Apr 2014 #98

The police serve the law? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #108

The police serve the police. Throd Apr 2014 #114

Very profound again. DanTex Apr 2014 #120

Not true. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #139

Of course they serve the law. "Law Enforcement Officers". DanTex Apr 2014 #119

Just because the job description reads "Law enforcement officer" doesn't make it true. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #137

Yes, it is true. And the fact that occasionally they do bad things doesn't change that. DanTex Apr 2014 #140

I'm sure you are very proud of your unflinching obedience to The State. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #143

"I imagine that you prefer the company of murderers and rapists" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #149

Ah yes, the fantasy of women defending themselves from rapists with AR-15s. DanTex Apr 2014 #152

Since you asked -- Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #157

Umm, I don't see anything about an AR-15. And also, that was a robbery attempt, not a rape. DanTex Apr 2014 #158

"I don't see anything about an AR-15." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #159

Lordy. Here come the phony/cherry picked statistics from a right-wing website. Shocker! DanTex Apr 2014 #161

How does any of your cited article conflict with anything I posted? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #163

Wow, you read the article pretty quickly! LOL. DanTex Apr 2014 #166

"Wow, you read the article pretty quickly! LOL." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #167

Assault with a deadly weapon is nothing to you? Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #97

You mean like when the BLM goons were pointing sniper rifles at people? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #110

LOL!!! Thry THAT one before the judge! Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #175

You mean the people who are part of the system defend the system? GOLLY! Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #176

That's what you are doing, in case you hadn't noticed. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2014 #177

take things literally, do ya? Skittles Apr 2014 #170

Why not go to those making the posts calling for drines strikes, etc. and ask them? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #171

I'll have to look into DRINES Skittles Apr 2014 #173

Of course they are. Iggo Apr 2014 #15

YOu do realize this woman is selling guns, right? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #20

"These 'enthusiasts'..."; "They are COWARDS..."; "Of course they are..." Iggo Apr 2014 #32

you're failing to distinguish between gun owners and gun humpers Skittles Apr 2014 #165

I imagine some of them traffic guns. Skidmore Apr 2014 #5

Ding ding we have a winner malaise Apr 2014 #12

Yeah but what about the so-called "free market" Proud Liberal Dem Apr 2014 #53

What free market malaise Apr 2014 #70

Exactly Proud Liberal Dem Apr 2014 #132

You are both right. The NRA doesn't really care about gun owners, they care about gun manufacturers, GoneFishin Apr 2014 #94

Like Leland Yee? Bazinga Apr 2014 #24

If the holster fits... Skidmore Apr 2014 #25

And I little sympathy for patent hypocrisy. Bazinga Apr 2014 #26

Meaning what? Skidmore Apr 2014 #27

Not you, Leland Yee. Bazinga Apr 2014 #30

No problem. Skidmore Apr 2014 #31

Really? You sure you want to play the "bedfellows" card? DanTex Apr 2014 #46

I'll consider that if you can show me "Cozying up" to anybody, much less Ted Nugent or Sarah Palin. Bazinga Apr 2014 #67

Supporting the NRA means supporting the Ted Nugents and Sarah Palins. DanTex Apr 2014 #72

Perhaps you have the receipt for my NRA dues on file. Bazinga Apr 2014 #84

OK, googled. An obscure state senator is the best you've got? Really? DanTex Apr 2014 #86

Again, hypocrisy should be condemned, no matter what letter is next to the name. Bazinga Apr 2014 #148

Sure, but you're highlighting the hypocrisy of some state senator that nobody cares about. DanTex Apr 2014 #150

A gun-controller doesn't know about Yee? Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #123

I don't think many people outside the NRA bubble know who that guy is. DanTex Apr 2014 #124

Yee's fellow CA controllers knew him quite well. Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #130

Not sure about that. Only the gun fanatics seem to know him. DanTex Apr 2014 #134

Ha! Such a "movement." We keep up with your guys better than y'all do. Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #155

True, right-wingers often obsess over obscure Democrats much more than Democrats do. DanTex Apr 2014 #156

Really not much point Turbineguy Apr 2014 #3

They are coming for our lightbulbs/gas-guzzlers !!! DetlefK Apr 2014 #7

Already the case in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey clffrdjk Apr 2014 #18

Sounds like typical 2A pushing, "responsible, law-abiding"... 99Forever Apr 2014 #8

Actually, it sound like the polar opposite of that. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #28

the true face of american gun culture... KG Apr 2014 #9

Half of her problem is she's a woman. Brickbat Apr 2014 #10

The other half is that she's Latina. KamaAina Apr 2014 #172

Elites scoring high on the CompassionIndex get special dispensation? Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #66

Whining about DU is against the TOS. Doesn't seem to bother you that much. DanTex Apr 2014 #48

Gosh, if my "wine" was so full-bodied, I'd be hidden. Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #74

Likewise, if this OP violated the TOS, it wouldn't be hidden also. DanTex Apr 2014 #77

See #78. Want you join me in my request? Nt Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #99

I'd have no problem changing the TOS. DanTex Apr 2014 #101

I hope your sense of statistics isn't derived from your calculations of history... Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #116

Yes, hiding. It's not much of a secret that the "DU is for Democrats" rule is lifted in the gungeon. DanTex Apr 2014 #117

First time I cone across this IMPORTANT story nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #68

See #78 and let's open up IMPORTANT gun posts. nt Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #100

So you think making guns safer is not a political act? nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #111

Agree, disagree. I'm talking OPs in GD... Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #118

So you are telling me it is not a political act nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #121

So you agree that OPs about any gun news are Okay? Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #128

Why the uproar? If you don't want a gun with such a feature, don't buy one. Throd Apr 2014 #35

Some have proposed that such unproven and opaque technology be mandatory. nt Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #39

You're saying no one would seriously propose such a requirement? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #44

Unproven and opaque? Umm... what? It's really not that complicated. DanTex Apr 2014 #45

Short-distance radio-wave devices fail all the time? Really? DanTex Apr 2014 #50

So have your armed goons use them. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #55

Umm... I don't have any armed goons. That would be your hero Cliven Bundy. DanTex Apr 2014 #57

Of course! I never realized that the cops belonged to me personally. Awesome. DanTex Apr 2014 #64

"I never realized that the cops belonged to me personally." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #76

Like I said, I don't think you've thought through the consequences of not having a police force DanTex Apr 2014 #80

Racists, misogynists, and homophobes? You mean like Cliven Bundy? DanTex Apr 2014 #95

No. That's just the false association game the intellectually fragile need to play. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #105

False association? What? You compared Bundy to Rosa Parks!!! DanTex Apr 2014 #113

Yea the threats are horrible and need to be delt with. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #88

I've never tested this technology, but in the age if iPhones, it's hard to imagine that DanTex Apr 2014 #104

So you don't know, and you have no way of proving anything. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #115

That's correct. But I can reason based on other technologies that exist, DanTex Apr 2014 #122

Your reasoning is faulty clffrdjk Apr 2014 #129

Yes, obviously, it's not exactly like an iPhone or an aircraft... DanTex Apr 2014 #133

The software my be simpler but the hardware will be basically the same. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #135

The safety argument isn't that complicated. DanTex Apr 2014 #136

How? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #138

How is it safer if only the owner can use the gun? You really need me to explain that? DanTex Apr 2014 #142
