I want to see the number of shootings reduced.
I own a gun. I like some types of guns. My gun is just for plinking but I don't want a law that says I can't have it.
There isn't only gun owners and people who want guns taken away.
Maybe if you were 't so paranoid about people taking your gun you and me could work together.

So, it is your contention that the government is willing to turn its greatest weapons of war against Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #9

No, my contention is they can no longer serve the purpose the founders intended. jeff47 Apr 2014 #13

The secret service protecting reagan probably thought the same thing. beevul Apr 2014 #17

One would have to post there first, blueridge3210 Apr 2014 #40

he doesn't need to post to get blocked if he's outside the board goading the hosts to do so CreekDog Apr 2014 #43

"goading" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #46

are you comparing being blocked by the gun control group to the holocaust? CreekDog Apr 2014 #47

No, I'm comparing your comment to the tendency of authoritarians to Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #48

So your complaint is with DU administration itself CreekDog Apr 2014 #49

"Zeez gunners. Zey are not like 'real' people." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #51

"you'd obviously treat gun control proponents the same way given the chance" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #87

I think some posters define "goading" as speaking contrary to their SOP outside their group. N/T beevul Apr 2014 #50

I stand corrected. One can be blocked without actually violating the SOP. blueridge3210 Apr 2014 #53

yes, in safe haven groups CreekDog Apr 2014 #55

This is a safe haven group. Yet here you remain in spite of the fact we're Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #58

No, Gun Control and RKBA is not a safe haven group CreekDog Apr 2014 #60

You are correct on that Duckhunter935 Apr 2014 #63
