I'm guessing that the irony escapes... discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2014 #80

Ooh! Fancy words! "apologist" and now, OMG, "proliferationist".... NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #44

Sort of like the fictive label "Gun-grabber" you mean, and what it tells about the user? villager Apr 2014 #47

Yes, indeed! I try to avoid the term for the very same reason, it's just divisive. NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #51

Superman is faster than a speeding bullet. upaloopa Apr 2014 #8

So we've now established that an organization devoted to gun control is better informed about Jgarrick Apr 2014 #9

Ah, but Superman was impervious to gunshots. JohnnyRingo Apr 2014 #27

I want to see the cartridge that fired *that* thing!! SeattleVet Apr 2014 #10

So they should show an actual person being shot instead? Would that pass your test? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #26

Test? What kind of test? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #30

Whatever it is you are using to judge this public safety message ad campaign. VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #36

And hell the anti gun people are proud of not knowing anything about that which they want to ban clffrdjk Apr 2014 #38

No I am not saying it SHOULD have depicted that....I am saying...if NO creative license VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #40

Ok one more time clffrdjk Apr 2014 #42

to convey a safety message perhaps? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #49

So how did showing a cartridge leaving the barrel clffrdjk Apr 2014 #50

because people unfamiliar with guns wouldn't know that perhaps? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #57

The target audience is not capable of using context clues? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #58

No the target audience might not know as much about individual weapons and ammunition...no VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #109

Look if you want me to walk you through the process of using context clues clffrdjk Apr 2014 #176

Maybe only a few saw that DashOneBravo Apr 2014 #59

the basic understanding you NEED is that GUNS KILL people.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #110

If the people that poster is attempting to reach are as oblivious about how guns work Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #108

So ONLY people who already have guns buy new ones? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #111

Didn't go to school in Colorado? gejohnston Apr 2014 #127

"Are you expecting EVERYONE to support gun ownership?" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #125

Funny how its only "stupid" to the gun "enthusiasts" VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #129

Entire cartridges flying out of pistol muzzles is stupid. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #132

Creative License....ever heard of it? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #146

You have your blood lust, don't you? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #148

I am not the one that thinks more guns are the answer.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #150

Be honest. You want a blanket prohibition. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #157

you just inadvertently gave up the whole game.. SQUEE Apr 2014 #112

What? Uh no....not everyone who doesn't own a gun is "ignorant and fearful" VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #113

lets see Duckhunter935 Apr 2014 #160

because I don't drink VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #143

People who think entire cartridges come out of guns shouldn't lecture about "common sense." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #145

the person who did the artwork....is not the person creating the actual laws..... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #147

Lemme guess, you also think rifles that only fire single shots are "military assault rifles." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #149

Frankly I don't care..... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #151

I don't worship them either. i can count on my fingers the number of times I've been shooting Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #155

Yes that IS exactly what I WAS talking about (as I recall I mentioned it first) VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #167

So you admit ... Straw Man Apr 2014 #169

I gave an essay, although incomplete, answer to a question gejohnston Apr 2014 #168

Six words for you: Cannabis legalization at the state level friendly_iconoclast Apr 2014 #175

I am FOR it at the FEDERAL Level.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #178

if you have to ask gejohnston Apr 2014 #182

Who accused someone of being racist? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #183

I think a little reading for YOU is in order... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #184

here is my proof gejohnston Apr 2014 #186

Yes I know what it means..... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #187

no, I didn't think you were aware gejohnston Apr 2014 #188

then you were also wrong not to..... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #189

My 'test'??? SeattleVet Apr 2014 #62

There ya go. Proof that there's no gun violence in America! Scuba Apr 2014 #11

probably intentionally done that way jimmy the one Apr 2014 #12

It also speaks to the blatant disregard of truth and reality, as well as geckosfeet Apr 2014 #13

If you are going to use acronyms try and use them correctly clffrdjk Apr 2014 #20

you're fucking hilarious.... nothing as sick as laughing about something like this bowens43 Apr 2014 #15

Nope. Do you? Jgarrick Apr 2014 #16

What a disgusting post. SecularMotion Apr 2014 #18

If you believe that, then alert and take your chances with a jury. IronGate Apr 2014 #19

The jury on the OP was a 4-3 Leave petronius Apr 2014 #22

Thanks. IronGate Apr 2014 #23

"Disgusting" for pointing out the sheer ignorance of advocates of civilian disarmament? Jgarrick Apr 2014 #21

civilian disarmament? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #34

Safe act. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #35

Nice link! mikeysnot Apr 2014 #63

You said name a bill I did exactly as you asked. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #77

punt? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #81

Google too complex? Here you go clffrdjk Apr 2014 #88

Common courtesy to complex for you? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #98

Lol clffrdjk Apr 2014 #105

many of the bills sponsored by gejohnston Apr 2014 #54

Link, mikeysnot Apr 2014 #64

Given that I have a C&R FFL and have passed the background check to acquire a silencer, I think I'm Jgarrick Apr 2014 #67

I'm sorry where does it state civil disarmament? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #69

if the SAFE Act was so reasonable gejohnston Apr 2014 #72

Get a law degree mikeysnot Apr 2014 #73

that's not an answer gejohnston Apr 2014 #75

"Various police agencies already said they will not enforce it." mikeysnot Apr 2014 #83

Not doing their jobs gejohnston Apr 2014 #87

If the SAFE Act were to be passed in my state, I would be forced to dispose of most Jgarrick Apr 2014 #74

But but banning guns and forcing people to dispose of them is not disarmament!! clffrdjk Apr 2014 #78

Is this the provision that you are afraid of? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #86

Asking for a name of a bill because you don't think someone could possibly find one. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #89

Cry baby. mikeysnot Apr 2014 #96

Seriously? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #104

Song for your blues... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #200

Good luck with your BS dude... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #170

Stay classy "dude". (NT) blueridge3210 Apr 2014 #172

right back at ya! mikeysnot Apr 2014 #195

What discussion have I disrupted? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #177

So you are a true believer... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #196

I am busy what do you want? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #201

really? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #202

Was that supposed to make sense? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #203

Have someone explain it to you... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #205

Hey everybody, does anyone know what he is trying to get at? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #207

maybe one of your sycophantic gun nut supports could help you out here and laugh at your stupid Joke mikeysnot Apr 2014 #208

Rough day? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #210

no? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #212

do you know what an "assault weapon" is? gejohnston Apr 2014 #90

typical... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #97

here you go Duckhunter935 Apr 2014 #95

Like this? Straw Man Apr 2014 #107

Sounds reasonable to me. mikeysnot Apr 2014 #179

Just where is the limit on reasonable? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #180

So then ... Straw Man Apr 2014 #181

Come on now. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #190

".357 rounds in a long barrel rifle" being too much firepower to entrust to an honest citizen, Jgarrick Apr 2014 #193

so registration = confiscation? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #82

Are you not familiar with the SAFE Act? Residents of NY are not allowed to keep previously Jgarrick Apr 2014 #84

Cry me a river... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #85

Yep no movement here clffrdjk Apr 2014 #91

You're a very good advocate for the 2A. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #92

Thank you! mikeysnot Apr 2014 #99

I agree. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #100

Be licensed and insured. mikeysnot Apr 2014 #101

Only if it is also required for voting and publishing as well. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #103

That's your opinion... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #171

So couple "well-regulated" with the part you forget -- Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #174

and yes, when that amendment was written mikeysnot Apr 2014 #194

"we had muskets... so sure carry all the muskets you want." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #197

oh the "moving the goal post" gun nut meme... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #198

"again... so tired no matter how many times you moved the goal post." Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #204

and you always leave out the dot, dot dot well regulated part... mikeysnot Apr 2014 #206

Okay. My proposed regulation -- Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #209

add 10 round magazines to this and I am cool with it. mikeysnot Apr 2014 #211

10 rounds is not the most practical limit. Extensive military experience shows 30 rounds is optimal. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #213

30 rounds is for people with mikeysnot Apr 2014 #214

"30 rounds is for people with bad aim" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #215

Police not private citizens mikeysnot Apr 2014 #216

If 30 rounds is the sign of bad aim why are police issued 30-round magazines? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #217

Becasue they are part of the "Well regulated Militia" mikeysnot Apr 2014 #219

And people like *you* always leave out... friendly_iconoclast Apr 2014 #221

Ah, moving the Goal posts you are! mikeysnot May 2014 #240

That makes no sense. You're just reflexively bleating. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #222

cough "well regulated" cough mikeysnot Apr 2014 #223

What happened to the "militia" part you were so fond of and Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #227

Here you go, so you are on the same page as the rest of us... mikeysnot May 2014 #229

Your turn -- Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #232

Thanks for proving my point! mikeysnot May 2014 #233

They are not militia, they are police. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #234

Fail. mikeysnot May 2014 #235

No! You! Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #236

"Doubling down on EPIC fail mikeysnot May 2014 #238

The police are not the militia. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #242

Looks like it to me in the modern context mikeysnot May 2014 #244

Federal law has defined who is part of the militia; not your personal, self-serving silliness. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #250

What actions in Boston is it that you were against? Jenoch Apr 2014 #218

Where were you? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #225

The authorities in Atlanta had no idea where to search. Jenoch Apr 2014 #226

Really, huh... mikeysnot May 2014 #231

The police are a militia? Straw Man Apr 2014 #220

life must be hard for you...? mikeysnot Apr 2014 #224

I have no idea what you're talking about ... Straw Man Apr 2014 #228

Of course you don't know... mikeysnot May 2014 #230

I know that very well. Straw Man May 2014 #237

Way past that dude... mikeysnot May 2014 #239

So, dude ... Straw Man May 2014 #241

No I don't, but at least mikeysnot May 2014 #245

Responsible to the law? Straw Man May 2014 #246

Serve and protect... mikeysnot May 2014 #247

Exactly. Straw Man May 2014 #248

The police have no duty to protect the individual. oneshooter May 2014 #249

No, you're not... derby378 Apr 2014 #191

It is obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about. mikeysnot Apr 2014 #199

So you *do* now acknowledge that the SAFE Act is a civilian disarmament measure? Jgarrick Apr 2014 #106

He has no choice but to do just that derby378 Apr 2014 #192

Not a mistake. Just the usual studied ignorance. Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #24

Uhm yeah, because technical accuracy would help to better spread the message? Democracyinkind Apr 2014 #28

It's sad that... deathrind Apr 2014 #29

What simple common sense regulation/legislation is it promoting? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #31

Read for yourself. deathrind Apr 2014 #43

Well at least this time you got the right answer for what this add is promoting. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #48

What's wrong with promoting Republican power-mad billionaires on a liberal forum? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #93

Oh Jeezus gimme a frickin break tularetom Apr 2014 #33

I believe nit-picking about the technical accuracy is a tried and true way of derailing a thread. djean111 Apr 2014 #76

It is not possible that "nit-picking about the technical accuracy..." Jenoch Apr 2014 #79

I think so Duckhunter935 Apr 2014 #39

Beat me to it. We really need a qualifying exam before we let people create new legislation. nt NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #45

and they never learn Duckhunter935 Apr 2014 #46

Can I get it in pink, please? NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #52

Heretic! Jgarrick Apr 2014 #55

A: Yes ileus Apr 2014 #53

We have the technology. 65% more bullet, per bullet!!! NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #56

Reminds me of the guy who bought a house near a shooting range. Straw Man Apr 2014 #61

Maybe it's the new MIRV rifle! Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #71

best criticism from someone who hates the NRA and Ted Nugent gejohnston Apr 2014 #94

I want to carry around a bottle of the Ebola Virus, tiz my new hobby, OK with you folks? randys1 Apr 2014 #126

being absurd destroys your argument gejohnston Apr 2014 #128

You are consistent, wrong about absolutely everything. randys1 Apr 2014 #130

He seems to be doing fine do far. (NT) blueridge3210 Apr 2014 #134

name one thing I got wrong, gejohnston Apr 2014 #135

Your entire post is your rightwing opinions about guns and meaningless randys1 Apr 2014 #137

for example? gejohnston Apr 2014 #140

This message was self-deleted by its author blueridge3210 Apr 2014 #136
