26. How about you go TROLL somewhere else
All you do is come here to stir things up. There is no civility to your posts nor is there any reasonable debate, just the same message "ban all guns"

32. What is not civil about my post
suggesting you go troll somewhere else? Asking you to go troll somewhere else. What wasn't civil, the fact that I didn't say please?

37. Who left me in charge
I need to be in charge to ask a simple question of you? All I asked is tha you go troll somewhere else. All you have to do is say no if you don't like the question. Nothing uncivil about that.

35. A toy?
It's thinking like that which leads to tragedy. Firearms are not toys. They are tools and weapons. Ownership should be considered seriously and your ability to cause injury or death should always be considered and respected. Citizens of this country have a right to carry firearms for personal defense. We do not have a right to deprive others of life unless they mean to and have acted in a way deprive us of life. Simplistic and naive comments about peace signs are not going to change anything. Discussion about what drives people to commit crimes against others and commit violent acts, and taking steps to intervene in those people's lives WAY before they choose to pick up a weapon, serves a much better purpose. Why don't you put some effort into that?

There you are with the penis envy again. Didn't have toys to play with as a child? Can't find a girlfriend?

39. Ooh you got me there.
Can't argue with that logical statement. :sarcasm:

Why is it that people who are so irrationally scared of firearms are the first ones to bring in phallic references? SO then you would agree with Freud that women who own firearms are suffering from penis envy... How very sexist of you.

41. Brilliant!
And with the enemy lulled into a false sense of security, we win the greatest victory since the Winchester flower arranging team beat Harrow by twelve sore bottoms to one.
