Have we become used to or immune to mass shootings? - Page 13

It's hard to make out what you're trying to say when you're foaming at the mouth like that.

Who was this weeks mass murder of the week? It was not asked 20 years ago when we were less a safe due to less guns and no military caliber munitions.

Did I remember to thank you? I shall do so now for you have done more than anyone else in this community to get Donald Trump elected President and empower the NRA. Your unwavering piety and pomposity has contributed immensely to the downfall of ideas you represent and made you the quintessential enabler of opposing positions.

Thank you, thank you so very much.

Extremists will always resort to personal insults. How many hours did you spend with your thesaurus?

Instead, learn what antinarcissism is. Donald Trump is so much like you.

Or you could answer the question. What is the mass shooting for this week? That would be an adult reply.

"well-regulated" summary of Oxford via constitution.org: "[the] property of something being in proper working order"

then per Wikipedia: The term "regulated" means "disciplined" or "trained".[169] In Heller, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that "[t]he adjective 'well-regulated' implies nothing more than the imposition of proper discipline and training."

Proper training, so as for a group to be in proper working order. These definitions are roughly equivalent. I could have used either one.

Cos they're both different from your exasperated sigh R E G U L A T E D definition, am I correct?

Flint · 04-26-2018, 03:40 PM

No, that definition is fine.

As far as I know, that is all anyone is asking for.

The exasperated sigh is: when you ask for the imposition of proper discipline and training, there is a very vocal, very hyperbolic faction of our society that immediately makes the hyper-space jump to "the government / liberal media is going to TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY" --so, as a compromise, we agree to do nothing. And we quibble over dictionary definitions that we don't disagree on.

UT, you incorrectly assumed that I would disagree with your definition. I don't. By all means let's further the conversation with a snarky GIF you fucking pompous dickbag.

sexobon · 04-26-2018, 07:21 PM

You got the reply you bargained for. If you begin to function WNL, you might get the replies you ask for. Otherwise, learn to accept that you'll always be on the losing side.

More cheapshots from one who is best known here for attacking others with insults.

You have no currency here. You're on the losing side of every issue you discuss. You oppose Trump; but, Trump becomes President. You oppose the NRA; but, the NRA is thriving. Who's going to place stock in a losing proposition? These are the facts. The only thing left to discuss is you and why tw is always losing when even someone like Charlie Sheen is winning!

Flint · 04-26-2018, 08:42 PM

Since undertoad has Tapped Out, can someone point me to the NRAs initiatives to implement the imposition of proper discipline and training, and compare that to gun control Advocates initiatives to implement the imposition of proper discipline and training, and tell me which one of these two groups is using the proper 1791 definition of the term well regulated??

I'll leave you to ponder whether the definition of imposition describes a voluntary action with no accountability mechanism.
