    First you'll have to explain how it relates to "If you guys are serious about gun control, you need to step up and start killing people."

    You keep leaving out "by authoritarian means".

    Why is that?

    Because "start killing people" is the key phrase. The how is less important than the what.

    You're beginning to open your eyes to something LibertarianForge has known for many, many a long day. Statists are incapable of honesty. That's why they change what they call themselves every decade or so.

    In the '90s they were 'liberals.' In the oughties, they were 'progressives'. They're about due for their next rebranding now.

    Whatever bullshit label they claim for themselves, they are, always have been and always will be authoritarian assholes who cannot abide the possibility that somebody might make the "wrong" life choice.

    I'm not saying the bible thumping fundie-republicans are any better -- or even any different.

    It's the same shit with different packaging, and we need to purge it all.

    Why does that bother you so?

    You seem hung up on that.
    I would know why.

    Are you for controlling gun ownership by authoritarian means?

    If not, you need not worry.

    Usually it's the right that re-brands the left. Liberal became progressive when George HW Bush kept talking about "dangerous liberals," back in '88. Note how Castle not only confuses the reason but also the time line. The guy doesn't know shit. Furthermore, liberal (which has regained respectability) and progressive aren't even claimed by the same group. Most of us who call ourselves liberal are neo-classical liberals (think Adam Smith), whereas progressives are more interested in social justice by government intervention. Castle doesn't notice the difference because he's too drunk and confused most of the time to realize anything other than "not like me."

    Zombie, please stop hacking Diacanu's account. You're perfectly capable of regurgitating the NRA "argument" all by yourself.

    Now, this is the part where I ask you to post a link to a post by any member of WF whom you claim has ever said anything even remotely resembling this, and you sputter and walk away.

    Which is fine with me, 'cause I'm gonna go make dinner now.

    Has anyone here calling for gun control ever said anything resembling what you posted in #134.

    Oh, sure, Zombie and Black Dove and Castle like to pretend "teh libruls" say things like that, but I mean in actuality.

    That you can serve time for not complying with regulation?

    Gee, I thought that was kind of implicit.

    All the variables (who is crazy, what is an assault weapon, etc. etc.) are what drive people like Rick to say "ban all guns."

    This tactic does indeed work (on paper anyway) in Japan, Ireland, Australia, Germany etc. and that's what works for them. BTW with enough money you can still get guns in these places.

    But these people have been domesticated and we have not. They are house-cats, mean as hell at times but essentially harmless.

    Americans (the best of us anyway) are mountain lions.

    If our country becomes Eurocized/Japanacized the world needs to put a fork in us, we are done. We will cease to be what sets us apart, what draws immigrants to us for not only gun freedom but other freedoms as well.

    Might want to keep up, Snoot-unkhamen. Not only did the audio captured in the OP link feature liberal politicians saying exactly that, but then Ricky Retardo doubled down on the derp by saying exactly that.

    You know why I don't believe a fuckin' word you say? Because you lie right next to people who are telling the truth.

    You really are a special variety of fucking stupid, and you do need to stuff yourself away in a dank cave until you figure out how to either tell the truth or keep your mouth shut, and I do expect you to do one or the other, this time.

    So now it's just "serve time," not "bullet to the head"? If you're trying for Jonathan Swift here, you need to recalibrate.

    Maybe you should take your guns over to Trenton and teach them a lesson. You could gain access by dressing up in your Ghostbusters uniform and pretending your gun is attached to your proton pack.

    Thank goodness I'm doing my part to perpetuate the gun/hunting/outdoor culture for future generations.

    My son (stationed in Korea) can't wait to get stationed here in the good old U.S. A. where he can buy and shoot an AR-15 or equivalent.
    My family loves venison, and can't wait for me to bag a few deer come September. I shoot my bow all day in my backyard and my neighbors don't get their knickers in a twist over it.
    My future son in law and family hunt and even belong to a gun club.
    Everyone I work with hunts, fishes or kills shit throughout the year.

    Holy shit! None of us have committed any gun crimes and we all have Secret (and above) Clearances and are upstanding citizens. Take our weapons post haste! Think of the children!

    All right, how about this?
    Instead of disagreeing with everybody, I'll agree with everybody.

    If everybody were armed, rampage shootings wouldn't happen, and flowers would sing.

    And if you took away all the big means guns, you'd save all the babies in the world, and no one would ever die ever again, and trees would make candy instead of fruit.

    There, that should make everybody happy.
