    "If only a few good folks had a gun, this tragedy could have been averted."

    Pretty much fucking obliterates that line of argument from the likes of @Paladin @Uncle Albert @Federal Farmer.

    No.. you made excuses for Rogan being full of shit.

    You haven't identified the bullshit in the tweet critiquing him for being full of shit though. So here it is again... have at it.

    What you said previously was just excuses for Rogan mixed in with a few ad hominems against the person who sent the tweet. I decided to break it down in bold, above.

    So I'm not asking you to repeat yourself. I'm asking you to point to things that were said in the tweet and explain why they were untrue.

    I think when they do that, though, they are actually trying to say "See, our ancestors weren't racist because even Africans sold other Africans into slavery. So it wasn't about race, it was about money/power/something else."

    Which still isn't true and would be a weird flex even if it were.

    Then you have woefully misrepresented yourself for the last two years that I’ve been back. I know you say you were posting before my hiatus, but I just don’t remember.

    That probably played a part, but we have reports of cops sitting on their asses at white AF Parkland and Columbine too.

    They probably didn't try too hard to do shit at Sandy Hook either.

    There's systematic incompetence all the way around.

    Defund the police. :brood:

    Honestly, if the folks of Uvalde want to do the whole "Running Man" thing with him on pay-per-view, I am fucking down with it. Dude deserves to be clubbed like a baby harp seal.

    Fuck gun owners. Take them all away. No one should have a right to a gun.

    Guns, yes; the right to not have your personhood reduced to the status of biological incubator, no.

    Just so you know, my tax dollars are not going to go toward your defense or to keep you alive in prison. Wasn't that your argument against abortions? your tax dollars? Now we're talking mine. and my tax dollars should not have to go toward your ability to fuck up other people.

    Whatever you're on about, I never opposed abortions.

    No. You always said "as long as you don't have to pay for it". and now, the tables are turned. I will not support gun rights as long as my tax dollars have to pay for the fallout.

    My standards for individual behavor in society always take cost into account.

    Does it harm me, infringe on my rights or cost me money? If "No," then knock yourself out. I can't see abortion running afoul of that unless someone were trying to retroactively abort ME, but that's what the guns are for.

    And do not come at me with any repackaging of "collective guilt". I explicitly said "individual in society" for a reason. If that's all you've got, just skip it.

    War does.
    Dirty cops do.
    You're crickets on one, and boot-licky about the other.

    Your "values" are a lie.
    You're a fraud.
    You're pants-pissing scared to confront how much of a fraud, which makes you a coward too.

    I'm just saying, the best you can expect from me, when the time comes, is you can keep your guns - as long as my taxes do not pay for fallout when some asshole shoots up a school.

    Did the man-child who still hides under his mother's skirt just call me a coward?

    Acting like a school bully doesn't quite dispel the notion that you're a coward the way you seem to think.

    There is no dispelling anything with people who are willing to make shit up out of whole cloth. Refusing to tar ALL cops with the same brush = fascist boot licker. Not condemning latest war with the prescribed scripts on command = tacit endorsement. Etc. There is no serious engagement with that kind of vapid, juvenile stupidity.

    And cyber-bullying is a fictional concept.

    This is where we descend into urination Olympics over the definition of "rights."

    I will instead assert that my concept of "rights" does not allow for the possibility, and if you contest that, I require an example.
