You don't have to read all of this. What set me off was how much effort this guy was willing to put into being a pro-gun rights defender. Like, at least LeJackal's posts don't go over a couple of lines.

Which is difficult because it varies wildly across them, but as soon as you fail on one point it cascades. Like, who knows whether that guy actually cares about not being invited to the White House, or cares about clock kid. Maybe he thinks clock kid is cool and it's good that he was invited to the White House. But none of that matters, because someone wanted to use him to try and make a political point. Maybe he agrees. But I really, really doubt that anyone checked with him. Please stop politicizing literally everything

He seems to be arguing in good faith though. He comes off way better than the overwhelming majority of the crazies in this thread. Like some of his proposals are honestly pretty reasonable and would do a lot to improve gun control in America.

Bast Relief posted:I never talk about gun control at work, but I'm sure it's obvious I'm pretty left on other topics that I have a better handle on. Anyway, I have a new colleague who announced that he was a libertarian because he thought "both sides are too extreme". Last week at lunch, apropos of nothing, he asked me if I had a gun in my house. I think maybe he was having a gun control conversation with someone else at the table that I wasn't aware of, but I seriously don't recall. Anyway, no, I don't have a gun. He then proceeded to fantasize about breaking into my house and killing me. I asked him why the hell he'd break into my house. Then he started fantasizing about me breaking into his house and him killing me before I could steal anything. I told him I don't want his stuff. Firearms owners that I've conversed with range from regular gun enthusiasts to people who wear a thin veneer of civilization and the only reason they haven't cracked open my skull and feasted on the gooey innards is because police still exist.

This is my cousin Chris P. Bacon. Chris is the oldest of 11 children. He's a socially awkward man child that at the age of 30 rips people for using welfare, however can't maintain a job long enough to get his own place so he lives in his parents basement. His family are all devout Catholics but he's the only one that posts on FB. Chris idolizes me for my military service and would love to do it himself, however he's fat and out of shape. He is your typical God, Gun and Government (but only a Republican one) kind of person. I wanted to invite him to come live with me a few years back but I realized he's too socially and financially unstable to be a good roommate. He's a two issue voter (guns and abortion) despite the fact that he will probably never impregnate a girl causing her to want to abort his seed and he also (due to his poor financial situation) does not own a single gun. I may sound like I don't love the guy, I do, for the most part he's a good person. He's just very hypocritical and when I've pointed that out in the past he moves the goalpost or attempts to flip it around on me.

Yeah, I like shooting targets, but the main reasons I don't advertise that I have a gun (like some people love to do) is I don't want someone stealing it, and I really don't want to be lumped in with those kind of gun owners.

How are u posted:If there is some sort of afterlife after all then be assured Vilerat is certainly laughing his rear end off over the legacy of Benghazi. Vilerat died so that this thread may live. Press "submit reply" to pay respects  (this thread is almost unreadable because of all the Benghazi stuff and how what happened ignores that people actually died in favor of using the events to sabotage the political career of someone who doesn't even hold elected office right now)

Yup, crimes are never committed by angry staff members. I did some observations at a middle school for no more than a week during college and there were so many teachers on edge I couldn't possibly imagine one with a firearm. I'm not saying they would shoot the kids, mind you, but giving them something to kill others with probably wouldn't have been the best idea. Besides, I thought these were the kind of people who didn't trust teachers anyway, so why would they start arming them?

I get that impression from the very vocal gun owners and it's scary. The individual I was telling the story about, as I've gotten to know him, has short man's syndrome and possibly a small penis judging by an innapropriate conversation he jumped into with two female colleagues. He is constantly cracking jokes about his male superiority while toeing the line of being discriminatory or harassing. I think he's very aware that in reality, any one of us, male or female, could kick his rear end in hand to hand combat so he's compelled to constantly assert himself as powerful, nevermind in our adult milieu, there is no relevancy as no one is going to be kicking anyone's rear end. Anyway, I can't imagine yet another loving thing you'd have to be trained in is armed combat as a teacher. Jesus Christ, when do teachers get to just, you know, teach? All high schools I've worked at have an SRO officer who is armed. That's enough.

What are the extremely pissed off right wingers extremely pissed off about this week? If you guess Guns and Obama not necessarily in that order, you are right.  I don't always hope for a bad thing to happen but when it does I try to prevent it from happening. IDIOT  Better stock up on ammo, this dude gonna come after you with super edgy facebook posts.  uhhhhh, then I think your costume fundamentally misunderstands the year 1776  might as well make no laws ever. my spokesperson Forrest Gump thinks this is the intelligent thing to do.  wondering how he got all that weaponry if it was banned.  remember that knife attack in china the day after a gun massacre in the US?   the occasional [regular?] civilian massacre is just the price we'll have to pay Any day now, Iran will get the bomb and then they will be super sorry I stocked up on personal firearms  In their hurry to fellate Reagan's corpse they couldn't finish a proper sentence  ugh  alright then  [citation needed]  haven't heard about this, I'm sure there's some reason it's wrong and stupid  I seem to remember there was something Uncle Sam wants me to do...unless all the soldiers lost their jobs in the last macro    yuk yuk  there was an article with this but it's not really important  Simultaneously 12 months behind and 12 months ahead on your talking points  bored now  double bored  I'm too distracted by the architecture here to notice her leg, personally. Even if it weren't hiding behind the type.  Worst thing a person can be is a girl, obviously.  this was from the comments but it really drives the point home  God, stop talking about bad things that happen to black people, Al.  something something carrion animals  This isn't bad by itself I guess but who wants to think about what that soldier does for a living while eating breakfast  There's a college football joke here    Gilead type christian theocracy though, that's totally cool and constitutional  Weather isn't climate, correct? Believing in climate change is for pussies?  verbs are verbing  gently caress you and gently caress Israel. That's all I got.  Oh and gently caress Netanhayu. Have I said gently caress Israel?  Who the gently caress said this? You're just making up poo poo to be angry about (the Conservative Story)

This is such a naive take on how business works (for better or worse) you can tell this was made up by a Gamestop Libertarian. Company's employ debt all the time as a means to achieve a goal. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And there are constantly stories about CEO's loving poo poo up and not getting fired (or fired with a ton of cash).

It's always a HOA. Usually it's because you've got a neighborhood that has a fairly uniform look to it and then someone decides to paint their garage to look like a flag or put up a Car Dealership sized flagpole in their front yard. The HOA pretty much always caves once it's in the news, too bad about your property values I guess.
