I just want to say thank you. [View all] SheilaT Jan 2015 OP

The Groups have different reasons for existing. This one is for discussions including both sides. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #1

You guys have always been remarkably fair to me. SheilaT Jan 2015 #2

I'm a host of that other Group, btw, but I post in both. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #3

It is great you are able to Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #14

Reasons. Straw Man Jan 2015 #4

And maybe that's the problem with the one I was banned from SheilaT Jan 2015 #6

But why bring your petty rudeness here? hack89 Jan 2015 #11

I doi not think so Duckhunter935 Jan 2015 #16

But this is the one place where we're free to be liberal progressive 2Aer's ileus Jan 2015 #15

Free to pretend that isn't widely considered to be an oxymoron, you mean. I get your joke. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #18

Your sort are inordinately fond of cartoons friendly_iconoclast Jan 2015 #19

A picture can be worth a thousand words :) Electric Monk Jan 2015 #20

...and words are difficult things, for some. But that's quite all right, there are no... friendly_iconoclast Jan 2015 #21

I can keep this up all day if I want to Electric Monk Jan 2015 #22

Of course you can- it's not as if GCRA requires much attention, after all friendly_iconoclast Jan 2015 #23

Funny you would use the term blaspheming... Electric Monk Jan 2015 #24

It's only natural- graphic arts have often used to motivate the semi-literate and illiterate friendly_iconoclast Jan 2015 #25

More projection on your part. I at least know the difference between your and you're Electric Monk Jan 2015 #27

Does a superior grasp of grammar somehow make your arguments more valid? friendly_iconoclast Jan 2015 #28

One can "blaspheme" all day long here. That's why *you're* here, isn't it? friendly_iconoclast Jan 2015 #26

He likes cartoons so much... beevul Jan 2015 #29

Indeed, I do Electric Monk Jan 2015 #30

Thats supposed to represent murder by firearms in America? beevul Jan 2015 #31

You do know the difference between allegorical and literal, right? Electric Monk Jan 2015 #32

Would you like tartar sauce with that? beevul Jan 2015 #35

That self defense cartoon is idiotic hack89 Jan 2015 #44

Go tell EarlG, the DU Admin who wrote it, what you think of it. I dare you. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #47

Instead of hiding behind EarlG why don't you defend it? hack89 Jan 2015 #56

The fact that out of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of DGUs only resulted in 230 fatalities Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #48

Read a little more carefully.... daleanime Jan 2015 #55

Read a little more carefully Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #59

Which means you don't want to include all the other deaths.... daleanime Jan 2015 #61

You have an emotional need to be outraged, don't you? Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #62

re: "hundreds of thousands to millions of DGUs annually" Electric Monk Jan 2015 #63

" Believing that such a small fraction of incidents are reported is indulging in fantasy. " beevul Jan 2015 #67

Okay, so let's play with your 1600 number. Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #68

I don't. When did you stop beating your wife? nt Electric Monk Jan 2015 #75

If you disarm those 1600 you, by default, make them defenseless. Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #79

No outrage... daleanime Jan 2015 #64

Do you really mean that? beevul Jan 2015 #65

Yes, I do mean it.... daleanime Jan 2015 #70

As I said. beevul Jan 2015 #84

I fail to see the downside to killing a rapist before he can claim a victim. YMMV Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #69

And every one of them was a rapist baring down on their victim? daleanime Jan 2015 #71

I'm talking about the 230 number cited in the graphic. Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #72

So you are celebrate the deaths of 260 only.... daleanime Jan 2015 #73

The flip side would be 500 to 1000 more innocent victims. Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #74

Fewer deaths would be cause for celebration.... daleanime Jan 2015 #76

If predators die as a consequence of their actions I blame Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #78

So the 29,000 are acceptable.... daleanime Jan 2015 #80

to be really blunt gejohnston Jan 2015 #81

Let's be blunt... daleanime Jan 2015 #83

As I have repeatedly noted -- Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #85

And you think that they die alone.... daleanime Jan 2015 #82

You forgot "shoot a stranger ", " shoot yourself", "shoot a harmless German exchange student". Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #53

So you agree the cartoon cherry picked data and is dishonest? hack89 Jan 2015 #57

I like that one, because the satire is true. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #51

Here's how to really tell discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2015 #33

How to tell... what you think of liberals? Electric Monk Jan 2015 #36

No argument here discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2015 #37

Or, Charlie Hebdo could have found more productive things to do than insult an entire religion. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #46

If only she hadn't worn that dress and walked alone in that neighborhood at night... Electric Monk Jan 2015 #49

Wow. Your mind went THERE? NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #50

No, yours did, for blaming Charlie Hebdo for the terrorist attack against them. nt Electric Monk Jan 2015 #54

Have you read the Democratic Party's platform... NaturalHigh Jan 2015 #38

It's more nuanced than what you posted. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #41

I agree with part (not all) of it. NaturalHigh Jan 2015 #42

They always leave the good parts out of any link and abhor nuance and completeness. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #58

... Dont call me Shirley Jan 2015 #52

If true, doesn't that make the gun banners Sauron? beevul Jan 2015 #66

Sauron was the imperialist weapon maker, seeking the precious gold. Dont call me Shirley Jan 2015 #77
