President(pushing the meme he would take their guns away, of course) and I know personally from people working at Remington Arms in New York.

It's so special that the NRA has their supporters on DU whining about "gun control".. it's fucking Sensible Gun Laws.. but, you know that.

And, don't bother talking to me NRAers because I have nothing to say to you that wouldn't get me a HIDE.

Yes. Those who are unarmed must sit and wait until opportunities beyond their control arise. nt Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #33

Or they can carry guns and delude themselves that they're more in control than they are. Orrex Oct 2014 #58

"gun grabbers"? savalez Oct 2014 #20

I have never been a member of the NRA. Jenoch Oct 2014 #22

Apparently you don't like the term. Perhaps this would be an excellent opportunity to Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #34

Given the Penis� talk, grabbing takes on new meaning! Eleanors38 Oct 2014 #38

Doesn't work that way. Orrex Oct 2014 #46

I own a gun. That does not make me a gun fetishist. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #50

Let's unpack that a bit. Orrex Oct 2014 #53

"the intent is to equate such mythical people with anyone who...proposes sensible gun legislation" Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #54

Why not do a poll and see who's willing to out themselves? badtoworse Oct 2014 #55

Citation, please. Orrex Oct 2014 #57

How about you? Do you support the RKBA? Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #59

I support the 2nd Amendment as written Orrex Oct 2014 #72

"as written" Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #74

And accurate. Orrex Oct 2014 #80

I can't help but think "as written" is a back-handed way of saying, Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #81

You hang your argument on two GOP rulings? Orrex Oct 2014 #82

I guess you imagine you get to unilaterally decide what is law. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #84

As is typical for you, you misstate my position. Orrex Oct 2014 #85

I'm trying to square your double-talk. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #86

Think "Citizen's Councils", and you'll understand the mindset friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #88

It's not double-talk. That's an ad hominem. Orrex Oct 2014 #89

The 2A -- as written -- says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #95

"Someone who embraces the tenets of full-blown gun fetishism..." friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #87

As stated above, it requires no authority to point out the obvious. Orrex Oct 2014 #90

I see you're going with the 'ipse dixit'. Always a favorite choice... friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #91

I've made no such claims beyond fairly obvious observations of what's been posted Orrex Oct 2014 #92

You have offered no argument beyond "I declare this to be so. It's obvious" friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #93

I'm sure that your postings pass for clever among gun fetishists Orrex Oct 2014 #94

This message was self-deleted by its author friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #97

That's the spirit! All that bafflegab ill-suited you. friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #101

"it requires no authority to point out the obvious." Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2014 #96

Citation, please. Orrex Nov 2014 #98

Why? Is declaring something "obvious" somehow exclusive to you? friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #99

You keep referring to me as a gun fetishist. You were called on it and asked to show your Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2014 #104

No, no, and wrong Orrex Nov 2014 #105

"...what I would identify..." Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2014 #107

Post #55 was made by DU'er BadToWorse. Perhaps you meant Post #53 Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2014 #112

Gun control advocacy seems to attract self-proclaimed 'remote sensors' friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #115

How is it "remote?" Orrex Nov 2014 #117

'Remote' as in you haven't been able to detect that *I don't own a gun*... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #120

I have never claimed that you own a gun, nor I have claimed to diagnose psychoses Orrex Nov 2014 #121

Did you type that headline with a straight face? If so, I'd hate to sit across a poker table... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #123

"bullshit demand for "telepsychology" credentials" Can you also kill goats with your mind? friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #113

See, there's another of your ad hominem attacks in place of argument Orrex Nov 2014 #116

I'm volleying back what I've been served. If you don't care for it, you are free to... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #118

Another straw man Orrex Nov 2014 #119

Being ignored by someone who claims that a person that does not own a gun... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #122

It also requires no authority to point out that certain posters get a might testy... friendly_iconoclast Nov 2014 #100

Gee, I wonder where the term "gun grabber" came from... beevul Nov 2014 #125
