The Don't Say Gay bill

... like they were freshly picked cherries or something.

Or inconvenient examples you bullshitters can't deal with. Cherrypicking is OK when you're talking about AR-15s or the moral purity of violent, destructive "protests," but on this topic, it's either a universal truth of the enlightened, or an irrelevant sidebar, likely perpetrated by bigots, to distract from the "real" issue.

Its never fucking you, is it?
Your brain can't let the guilt land on you.
What would happen if it did?
Would you go into spasms on the floor?
Would foam roll out of your mouth?

(As Tererun)
The foam would roll out of his cock-hole!!
I'm helping!!


Sorry, I saw that so clearly through The Shining, I had to pre-empt it.

I accept full responsibility for MY deeds and all associated consequences, and none of either for the deeds of others.

Liar.

"It's the other guy! It's the other guy!".

It's always gonna be the other guy.
Always.

point me to an example of "cherry picking" over either of those? I'll (keep) waiting...

would you like bacon bits for the remainder of that word salad?

I'm perfectly willing to dispense with the pledge of allegiance.

"It isn't indoctrination, but even if it is, what about the indoctrination you support?"

Parents decide their children's moral and spiritual teaching, NOT state employees.

Have you even one example to cite? A responsibility I have denied, a consequence I have evaded? Didn't think so.

Easy.

The AR-15 platform is involved in a miniscule portion of all gun violence, yet receives disproportionate attention due to it presenting a scary image.

The "summer of love" burning down entire businesses is "mostly peaceful protests," but 1/6 was an "insurrection" and a bunch of anti-vax truckers are a white supremacist uprising.

Uncle Albert is a parody act, stop responding to him as if he is discussing any of this in good faith.

Nice conversation you just had with yourself.

1. Did I just call mysef a liar and then fail to substantiate the accusation?

"Good faith" according to some smug dickbag who thinks he gets to define these terms for everyone.

Yes, yes, and no. It receives disproportionate attention due to its prevalence in the majority of the largest massacres involving gun violence in the United States. And the fact that the maker of the gun never believed it should be available to the general public because it was a weapon of war. It has been the #1 gun sold for quite some time now.

93% of them were. But there was definitely violence and arson in some of them. Of course, a good percentage of that violence came from the right.

Sure as fuck was. Clearly many of those there stated they were there to stop the duly sworn function of the US Congress to count the ballots electing the next President of the United States. You have to lie to yourself really fucking hard to get past that one. But you seem to have done it. That doesn't mean everyone there was present to do that, but the first sedition guilty verdicts are coming in now.

Can't say I've heard that one. A bunch of dumbfuck anti-vaxxers, to be sure.

"It's the other guy!! It's the other guy!! "

yet the gun violence it is involved with tends to be noteworthy. i.e.: multiple victims, and a comparative anomaly compared to gun violence in places without ready access to firearms of that type.

Hate to be the one to break it to you, but the covid convoy was demonstrably organized by your white supremacist buddies (and involved very few actual truckers) and I'm not sure what else you could call sacking the capital other than an insurrection (even if it did fail).

Am I the only one who sees this when UA posts?

Mass shootings are also a tiny portion.
Can you list a war where an army was equipped with an AR15?

And none should be selectively given a pass.

Superficially, yes. Realistically, there was no danger of a regime change. Tangibly, laws were broken, property was destroyed and at least one life was lost, which I do not accept as the cost of doing business for anyone's right to protest.

Is this where I defend myself against the wholly unfounded "supremacist" insinuation? Nah. I think you can go gag on a sack of dicks instead.

Oh, is THAT what you think you've been doing?

No, mate. You've been smearing your face with shit and telling us the flies don't exist.

If you're going to just make shit up, could you at least do better than your usual junior high fanfic?

Keep your fecophile fantasies to yourself.

Nothing junior high about you though. Nope.

Yes, the problem is with everyone else, not you.

Yep. But far more impactful to the public psyche. If your argument is 'I don't care about human nature' you probably aren't going to win many discussions. Humans are far more worried by random mass violence that could catch them or their loved ones than they are two guys getting pissed at a romance or drug deal gone bad.

Sophistry. We both know that the AR-15 is just the M-16 with auto fire disabled, and that in war time soldiers are trained to fire in 3 round bursts. It's the same weapon used in the same way.

And you could get around that limitation if you just wanted to put a bunch of lead into the air at a crowd by conversion kits.

I seem to recall something about that here a decade before it happened in the worst mass shooting in world history.

That we agree on.

I don't know that's true at all. The police that were there also disagree. Officer Goodman stated he believed if just one thing went wrong it could have been a bloodbath -he's the one that led the crowd away from the House floor where the vast majority of congress was.

There were people chanting they were there to kill Pence, this after beating down police to gain entrance to the building. They erected a gallows.

If that crowd got in among the Congress members it likely would have been very, very bad. And all sorts of things could spiral out of control. If they killed Mike Pence Trump could have appointed a new VP that would have halted the election. Or they could have used the violence itself as a reason to call a state of emergency.

And as much as there is overwhelming evidence of systemic problems, corruption, and racism across large swathes of the policing community, the ACAB guys are really fucking wrong. Guys like Goodman kept this from getting much, much worse.

If several congresspeople were killed and martial law declared, hell, civil wars have been fought for less.

Who's giving them a pass? Last I checked, there were well over 10,000 arrests.

I don't understand this. Burst fire is not the same thing as semi-auto at all.

It's already illegal to convert them.

No lynchings tho.

My understanding is that selective fire was set to semi-auto on M16s to conserve ammo when it was introduced in Vietnam. Regardless, sustained fire rates are similar, because in combat situations the only real use for full auto is suppression, and infantry generally don't carry enough ammo to make that practical.

Ultimately, however, it's not my argument. It's Eugene Stoner's, the inventor of the M16/AR15.

It is now. Bump-fire kits were not illegal when the Vegas shooting happened. When I said they should be a decade prior Gunforge decided that it could never happen and routinely mocked the idea.
