Supporters here on DU?

someone alerted on your post.

UPDATE to post:

there's a cabal here that wants to stifle any dissenting opinion.
And they call themselves progressives?

TIA.

better for all to see what a petty and vindictive alert this was.
I guess someone haz a sad right now, it wasn't even close.

Some have very thin skins. They can insult others though and not bat an eye.

Insults and sexual references, very telling

... "delicate flowers"? Is that because the psyche of gun freaks leaves them so emasculated that they must compare themselves to flowers?

The delicate flower insult is one of the many directed at RKBA supporters here on DU. Please do a little research.

I am not the one so afraid that I feel the need to carry a weapon at all times in all situations.

I am NOT the coward in this context.

I'm sure you would following your logic. But it just shows how disconnected the controller mindset is from ordinary Americans.

Being prepared to defend oneself with a can of pepper spray, however, doesn't begin to rise to the level of paranoia (and, in some cases, extreme cowardice) as carrying a firearm for protection in places where the need for protection is nearly zero.

You judgment is based on NOTHING.

Your concept is that the brave ones are the ones carrying weapons?

And your concept is that the brave ones want to prevent everyone else from carrying weapons?

And your concept is that one should be scared of teaching to the point of trying to "pacify" students in case they're legally carrying guns?

Explain what elements make up cowardice for the class, then tell us which of those elements are missing in the above two examples.

I will not allow cigarette smoking in my home, but it is not a matter of fear.

Please.

You get the last word.

Is it difficult typing with one hand?

I almost never carry, but I have done the training and am fully licensed to carry if I CHOOSE too..

That really sounds a lot like "I'm special, my guns are OK, but no one else should have them."

Accordingly, what precisely do you mean when you say you favor strict gun control? What laws and policies do believe are necessary (and comply with the Constitution)?

Also, for reference, I personally don't own firearms (yet am fully eligible), yet liberally support the individual right to keep and bear arms. I consider myself very fortunate to live and work in great neighborhoods and super-secure buildings in Manhattan (I'm an attorney), and other people may have different circumstances that warrant different choices about self-defense, sport, hunting, etc.

They never do

?

the control side. This cartoon still regularly makes appearances.


Several pro-control posters were adamant, however, that "delicate flower' is not an insult. Since it isn't insulting some have therefore felt it is acceptable to use it in return.

... you've been here a long time not to realize the pain in the back of your head comes from a returning boomerang.

HINT: It started with you guys, just as "ammosexuals" and penis talk did.

The irony, the irony...

Of the issue.

One side insults the intelligence the other side insults the manhood.

That is why the conversation never advances.

Thanks for eschewing the useless and stupid insults.

of any phallus reference makes most folks giggle. The dolts are making the country nervous with their idiocy.

...who just never outgrow a middle-school level of rhetoric.

When they can't produce an actual argument, they go for the juvenile taunt. And that so often seems to revolve around genitalia...

That said, even I do appreciate some juvenile humor now and then (just yesterday watched "Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire" -- highly recommended, if you go for that sort of thing), but when it comes to serious political discussion, childishness just doesn't really get one very far -- note how successful the anti-gun brigades have been lately.

a couple days ago by one pro- control poster:

Now I really hope krispos42 blocks you from this group, he told you to post it in your own group and yet, you seem to want to defy him.

...they take time, space and effort from those who might be effective.

Less formally: "When your enemy is busy doing something stupid, for heaven's sake
don't get in their way!"

The fact that you would post it in an otherwise serious discussion, particularly after your thread about it was unceremoniously closed, reveals far more unflattering facts about you than it does about firearms or gun owners, and really helps explain the current sorry state of the gun control movement.

Maybe you should post it in the other closed gun forum where you're a moderator, it's been really quiet there for a very long while, and let the adults engage in discussion over here.

After your OP was locked. You had to post it here, lol. Did you take our hosts advice and post it in your own group? I doubt it as nobody visits that dead group.

from one side to the other.

...ATTRACTING ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES while being insulting asshats.

As someone who takes gender equality seriously, I couldn't square my beliefs with the obsessive comments about penises and manliness. People who use data and science to back all other topics up lose any interest in data when it comes to guns. It's embarrassing, honestly.

This doesn't fit the SoP of the Group.
