In reply to the discussion: "Nobody wants to take your guns..." [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)79. Ahh, the tactic of misrepresentation.
Beevul is not arguing the political aspect, he clearly labels this an 'anti gun' tactic;
Yes, he in fact is. Since I am he, I think I can speak for him better than you can. My intention was to emphasize how they went against Democrats. That incidentally, led to a Democrat loss against a tea party candidate. The amount of time and effort you spend trying to defend them and their lies demonstrates you support that. Don't be shy, tell us all how great it is, and how much you support their actions in getting a Democrat ousted in favor of a tea party candidate. Heap some praise on them, James, you know you want to.
Thanks for misrepresenting my words in a way easy for me to illustrate though.
James, beevul claims that if MDA is "not in any way anti-gun" (per watts own words), "supports the second amendment" (again per watts own words) and is all for background checks, that they would APPLAUD a gun store opening in a place where backgrounds are checked 100 percent. beevul claims that since they opposed that store opening, their actions illustrate that those words by watts are a LIE, and those statements on the position of MDA, a SHAM.
Shall we engage in a preponderance of evidence?
Also, I've made my position on BC abundantly clear elsewhere James:
They are unenforceable without registration. Where personally owned private property is concerned, I do not support the infrastructure - registration - necessary to make it enforceable, and I'm not one bit unwilling embarrassed, or ashamed to admit it.
Who exactly do you consider 'the rest of us', beevul?
Everyone that sees through your misrepresentations. In other words, everyone but you, the misrepresenter.
beevul, another thread, distressed at the passage of bg check legislation in oregon: Why does Bloomberg have to spend nearly ten times as much in lobbying money as the pro-gun lobby {to support background check legislation in Oregon}, if this is what the voters wanted in the first place?
Asserting that I'm distressed without evidence. How...consistent of you.
Its a fair and valid question. Want to take a stab at answering it?
Yeah, I thought not.

I seriously doubt that gangbangers et al would be treated as an exception

I think it is you who misses the point. And the canard canard again. LOL!

The guns that they are fighting hardest to ban are involved in less than 300 murders/yr.
