As long as they don't try to realize those thoughts they can stroke their barrel as much as they want DarkHorse covered most of why automatics aren't easy to acquire, but there's a bit more. While the tax stamp is only $200 you have to go through an extensive background check with the ATF, FBI, and BATFE. You also need the chief law enforcement officer in your area (Chief of police, country sheriff, state or federal judge) to sign off on your application. The whole process takes at least 3-6 months, but could take a full year.

Thank you a lot DarkHorse those were fantastic posts. I definitely understand the frustration with gun control a lot better now. I don't know why the gun memes don't mention those laws. I mean I'd sympathize far more with them if they did indeed talk about contradictory laws rather than shouting "THIS IS AN ASSAULT TOASTER" like children. Shame that the NRA doesn't budge on their stance, seems like they have a chance to do some real good and create a scenario where everyone wins. LeJackel make the thread. Anyhow, to rerail this thing, any ideas how I should respond here:  I'm Tera Toriel and he's Tera Misu This was in response to this link: http://www.newstatesman.com/world-affairs/2015/03/mehdi-hasan-how-islamic-islamic-state Seraphic Neoman fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Nov 29, 2015 |

Does he realize he's supporting ISIS if he says they "take their faith more seriously" than other Muslims? For some reason, extremists are always given the benefit of the doubt with regards to sincerity, and peaceful followers are assumed to be compromised. If I, as a Christian, take a couple verses out of context to justify hating gays, I'm assumed to be sincere at the least, but if I instead focus on Jesus's core message of universal love, I'm a squishy apostate.

DarkHorse posted:For the rest it seems like you're always taking the least charitable interpretation, and it's exceedingly difficult to discuss anything when it's clear you are not willing to budge on any points. On that note, good luck. It isn't an interpretation. Much of what you propose has been attempted or is currently in effect in some locations, and the negatives I list are a reality.

Fortunately the best alternative to discussing gun control in anyway is to just kind of ignore it and hope people stop getting murdered by domestic terrorists

@SSNeoman: the article is devastating to your friend's position, it's pretty clear they haven't read it or discount it entirely. it is hard to deal with the notion that Bible-based religions are magically immune to the same critiques that are being leveled at the Koran, because reasons. this handwavium makes winning the argument impossible without challenging that basic assumption

I don't think you guys understand, the reason we need millions of guns and billions of tons of ammunition just sort of wafting throughout our society is so that the post-apocalyptic RPG our entire history was created as the foundation/backstory of can be played on Easy.

Ah Christ, a friend of mine who doesn't usually do political stuff posted this article - http://conservativetribune.com/truth-about-black-crime/quote:I avoid politics like the plague, but if this guy ran for president, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. In a world becoming obsessed and castrated by political correctness, he faces and silences a mob of uneducated loud mouths with brutal truths and passion. And then goes on to lament over how few kids are spanked these days because it would totally solve the problem.

This is the best argument I've seen for gun control in a while A Swedish man decides to go on a suicidal rampage in a school with a sword He killed all of two people before he was shot to death by police. Apparently he was a right winger and did it as a demonstration against immigration.

DarkHorse posted:This was the only one out of your comments I thought wasn't a strawman, and you're absolutely correct on this point. I meant to include a caveat restricting gun ownership for those that commit murder or domestic violence involving a firearm, or have a restraining order against them, subject to reasonable rules that could be hammered out were any legislation in the works. The problem with that is that everybody starts out as a legal gun owner, at least until they do something violent. You can purchase a handgun with nothing but the best of intentions, and a year down the road, that's not going to matter a single bit when you're drunkenly swinging it around and yelling "did you gently caress him" at your wife.

I'm offended that I spent all that time sneaking up on you and lining up that shot and all you had was 2 gold, some lovely steel armor, an iron sword and some Nord Mead. But seriously why did they use a viking for this? Were vikings known for never being offended or something? I get that the common stereotype is that they were extra tough and all, but it has nothing to do with the message.

Plus words and language were incredibly important to the Norse peoples. They had a tradition called "flyting" that was a literal insult poetry contest - a rap battle - and a real man was expected to be really good at it because words and poetry were a major part of the culture. No actual Viking would ever, ever be so dismissive of "mere words". (also they had a reputation all across Europe for being metrosexual pretty boys. Which isn't relevant to the picture but usually makes the people who post that sort of poo poo twitchy as hell)

Oh, that's your problem, you're not supposed to hang out with your girlfriend. She's inside making food, you're outside fixing cars and mending fences, then you come inside, wash your hands with coarse Lava soap, voraciously eat the meal she made, and take her roughly on the counter. Then, sit down with a beer and watch TV until she falls asleep from boredom. This is how all couples everywhere for all time are MEANT to work. You fuckups just hosed it up with your GAYNESS.

So I work in hospitality and am constantly working with my hands and often suffer cuts, bruises and scrapes as a result, but due to the fact that I am preparing drinks for people also have to keep them very clean and groomed.

I miss the days when we had genocidal superpowers conquering all of Europe, much of Asia, and parts of Africa. Why can't we have those good old days when 18-20 year olds are dying in droves trying to stop those genocidal superpowers instead of going to college or just loving about and enjoying young adulthood?

Yup, all GI Joe's gnawing at the bit to get out there into "certain death", unlike those pussies these days. Pfft, kids today probably don't even want to die while slaughtering their enemies! Also a right-wing rave sounds like the most boring rave ever.
