Yes, let's all tell the gangs to willingly give up all guns, and then we can live under rainbows with the Easter Bunny and Peter Pan. Oh wait, this is reality and there are bad people in the world.

Only an idiot would try to use the force of government to limit which methods people may use to defend themselves and then use those who violate the law as a reason for attacking the rights of those who don't.

He means he doesn't appreciate my sense of humor and irony.

Oh, and he doesn't agree.

Have pelican fill out this 4473, and we'll see where it goes from there.

Trilby · 05-25-2007, 02:20 PM

Huh. I happen to know that this particular pelican won't pass the background check. He's an illegal immigrant.

Now. why can't we all just say Some People Like Guns and Some People Don't Like Guns? That's one way to get all you crazy Americans to settle down. Just Be Nice to one another and it'll all come out in the wash.

Just call me the

with a

(actually, I don't have a gun. I didn't pass the background check!)

Replied when I read your post. I don't read the whole thread and then go back to see what I want to reply to.

Shawnee123 · 05-25-2007, 03:50 PM

Make a joke around here or disagree and get labeled an "idiot" and "ignorant." Oh, I forgot where I was. This is the Cellar, after all.

Sarcasm doesn't convey well in text. Also I apologize. Just getting sick of Spexxvet lying, being an asshole, and attempting to attack my birthright.

My right to own any number of any kind of gun without any permission or oversight on the part of the government is no less or more important than his/her right to breathe.

...

I was not an asshole until you started with the insults, asshole. Please cite where I have lied or attacked your birthright. I have done neither, and those who make claims to the contrary are only displaying their own personal bias and complete ignorance in the matter.

You've lied when you claimed I had no right to own a gun, and you've attacked my birthright to own one. You've dishonestly suggested that gun owners are nuts as opposed to those who are truly insane by attacking their rights.

You are presented with facts and you deny them.

That would not be dishonesty, it would be my opinion. Quote me.

I deny facts? Facts can't be denied. Quote me.

Come on, Radar, back up your attack with some evidence.

I'm not mad. I do try to stay out of gun threads but I just thought that story was an interesting sidebar. I see both sides on this issue; though I don't care for guns, as a woman living alone I wonder sometimes.

And, I'm too sarcastic for my own good. It gets me into trouble even IRL!
