a man that can make napalm shot people with guns,and now all gun owners are at fault.

The gun nuts will eat them alive.

i'm sick of them, and refuse to serve on any gun post juries.

1...gun
2...aurora
3... 2nd

well, that and the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

I mean, what kind of place would we be without people here to defend the indefensible, poorly?

their bizarre passions a bit more discreetly.

THEY are US...and USA!

There's not exactly a lack of places on the internet where you can gush over gun porn, warn everyone about "thugs" and "gun grabbers" and proclaim your right to launch a one-man war against "the feds."

So long as they remain catered to, we'll have to keep putting up with this.

with their weak, repetitive arguments. Intellectually, they are the shallowest of thinkers, which gets masked by their obvious zealotry.

Because of this basic flaw, I think the gunners will probably fade away once the news about Aurora dies down (and until the next round of slaughter of Americans). It's hard to ignore it with blood running in the streets, but when the funerals and mounds of teddy bears and flowers, weeping families interviewed on TV all go away, we'll go back to business as usual. Let me tell you, my family lived through the death of a family member due to gun violence, you have no idea of what happens after. Or maybe you do, but others on this board do not.

Surely, they all must be "phallically challenged" at some level.

attacking eachother with such hatefullness.

This has been somewhat enlightening, however.
K&R

in the anti-gun logic.

I also learned that there is some kind of point system in the Gungeon.

Once you get all the gun threads trashed there's almost nothing listed in GD.

Please lock the crazy closet up again , Ads.

to trash them all at once.

god damn

time to move gun talk off of gd

out of bounds. What are the boundaries at DU? Do we have any? Can we not construct a place for the gun lovers to spout and post pics and talk about hardware night and day?

Admins, please read some of these gun threads and think very hard about this.

were started by anti-gun people (who rarely, if ever, comment in the gungeon) compared to pro-gun people. I'd be willing to wager it's 20-1 or better.

what is usually found on the other dedicated sites. I think that too few other DUers appreciate the relative sanity and a pretty impressive depth of knowledge that is available here.

And I won't hear from them again until the next mass shooting.

I must be going about it the wrong way then... I picked up 3 more star members placing me on ignore.

And with the typical emotion in place of substance, no less.

Good to see the anti-choicers are alive and well on DU. Errr.... I mean... oh, what's the real difference anyway.

such as yourself.

I would point out that by your own admission you're writing posts that you expect will be hidden.

he complains about pro 2A posters and all he's done in post after post is spew his hate and bile.

Oh, you might pull your piece (I don't mean jerk off) and stand your ground, well I would try anyhow, and I think I could get that piece away from you too.

Pretty sure it's not mine.

just lovely, last sentence is really just beautiful. a sight to behold.

take you out of here. You could take the high road and self delete . . .

but none of my firearms caused that and I am not responsible for the carnage as some here on DU have suggested.
Your constant rants and insults don't do any good at all.

poster doesn't sound like a tolerant progressive to me... same as the rest of the antis...

VERY apt description

yes INDEED

8770 is the number for 2010

The vast majority of us pro 2A members have been, for the most part, civil, patiently pointing out the lies and misstatements and enduring insults from the likes of you.
Just because we are pro 2A doesn't make us, how did you put it, neanderthal gun nuts, or this one, gun nut NRA assholes.
You claim to be progressive, you are anything but.

here's a link to it and you can judge it yourself

Real classy, huh?

I'm a non-owner, and somewhat middle of the road on gun control issues. I have been called every name in the book the past 3 days... all by the hysterical anti-gun zealots.

I've had 15 Star members put me on "ignore" in the last two days!

She was a real American who valued the right of self-defense. I miss her.

Very revealing.

There are PLENTY of people who vote Democrat who are pro-second amendment. I am one of them. You can see my ballot from the last election in my sig.

I am pro-choice, pro-gay-rights, pro-environment, anti-corporations-are-people, pro-labor, and anti-war, to name a few of the traits that make me vote Democratic. I am against the plutocratic oligarchy we are becoming because of the rule of wealth in this country. I participate in the Occupy movement. I am for single-payer health care.

I also believe in ALL of the US Constitution.

I believe in collective action, but I also believe that individuals should be empowered to stand up to violence themselves if necessary, and not just by engaging in a physical contest of strength.

I believe that the intent of our founders was to decentralize power in government and in the military, with the ultimate source of armed power residing in the hands of the people. Imagine how many wars our country would have avoided in the last 65 years if the states had to all commit military forces individually to engage in them!

I find it astonishing that people who believe in the right to organize and bargain collectively get upset when 4 million people organize under the NRA to do just that. I guess collective bargaining is only OK when it's for issues you agree with.

I'm vote Democrat, and I support the second amendment. I voted for President Obama despite his 2nd amendment record and avowed campaign stance because the alternative was more war and more corporatism. Not just more, but zealously more.

OR links to the NRA page, perhaps because there's no direct quote from a pro-gun person that supports their viewpoint.

forty seven percent of Americans own guns.

And got it.

What was it Harry Truman used to say? "I just tell the truth and they think it's hell!"

Perhaps they should add a binky to the smilies list...a few need to be handed out in this thread.

... to fool crowd. Been playing the mirror opposite of their extremist rhetoric since the morning after the Aurora NRA Massacre, and none of them caught on. None. I have concluded that having a weird fetish might lower your IQ.

Is this the new gun control meme?
I wish you people would stick to one meme, I can't keep up.

nt

12 people in my community were killed. It's a legitimate debate. If it brings out the "gun nuts" then so be it. Let all sides be seen. What exactly do you think people should be talking about right now? Mitt Romney doesn't have a fucking prayer of winning this election. People are grieving. Is it really so hard to just scroll past the threads you don't like? Jesus. Maybe we should be talking about the desensitization of America by continuous violence in our daily lives. Or is there a forum for that?

it takes a while to get them back in the basement.

Oh, wait. Good for thee but not for me?

He was being sarcastic, most of us figured that out.

I thought you meant the other poster.
My bad, IMHO, he's the one that needs to be gone. Just my opinion.

are they zealots too?

Mass killings are so fucking messy, let's just sweep it under the rug again.
We all know, nothing is going to happen, except for the next gun massacre.
So calm down, us zealots are just letting off a bit of steam. I live in Denver,
pardon me if I'm pissed off again. I was just getting over the death of my neighbor's son.
His dad picked him up took him to the Mts. and shot him in the back of the head.
He was 8 years old.

As far as rhetoric, the pro-NRA acts much more civilly than the anti-gun zealots.

As an analogy, the gun ownership supporters act like pro-choicers, while the anti-gun zealots spew venom like the talibornagain anti-choice crowd.

produced the the more-civilly NRA!
It's running on various channels on the TV - you watch it and tell me how fucking civil these fear mongers are.

That poor baby.

let them run.

people who use guns for hunting and home protection. But I am sorry no one needs a rifle like this guy had in a movie area. So talk talk talk nothing is going to happen.

Just like the anti-choice crowd.

entitled to their opinion. It makes me upset when I give mine and it goes against many others and all of a sudden I am getting the hate. But when it comes to guns you will never win if you say you are against them.

in the right forum. You want to talk about guns, go to the gun forum. It's not rocket science!

but by a quick count on the first page of GD 27 threads were anti-gun, 6 were pro-gun and well under half were started by regulars of GC & RKBA.
It appears IMO it is the general DU membership talking about this issue. It has drawn out members of the gun forum on both sides but they are not the ones driving it.

Once the antis started losing the argument they want everyone else to STFU and dissappear. Typical.

I mean the first one. I just read a couple of them and it's ugly.

Thought-provoking topic, working out nicely!

Let's get back to Mitt's tax returns.

but, I will say, that I have an interest in reading what those with opposing views have to say. Yes, sometimes posters seem antagonist, in your face challenging of opposing positions. From what I've read, that goes for both sides of the gun control issue.

So, when the gun control topic is moved back to that forum I will continue to discuss the issues there....when I have something to say or when I want to learn something from those who own guns and firearms.

I'm learning lots of new things from gun enthusiasts. Apparently an AK-15 is not really considered an assault rifle - that's just a silly meme. Except for the minor additions of two grips that help the shooter move the gun from side to side while spraying bullets at multiple targets, and a magazine that holds a ton of ammo, it's really just a harmless deer rifle...

as long as you plan to make deer sausage out of the entire carcass.
