is (1) addressing the issue of the animosity towards DU gun owners and (2) a specific response towards the issue raised by the OP.
With that information, you should readily understand that those that have been demonstrating animosity towards DU gun owners in the various recent posts that have been prompted by the Colorado shooting have NOT been talking about the great economic disparity "80%" of the time in such recent posts. It's simply not true.
If you are otherwise claiming that such disparity is "80% of the conversation" (under the topics "health care" and "economy" and "student loans" and "NAFTA" and "Free Trade" and "taxes" and "infrastructure" and "education," etc.), when DU posters are not haranguing DU gun owners in the recent anti-gun threads, the answer to that is "So what?" It is totally irrelevant and off point.
In fact, if anything, when such economic disparity is "80% of the conversation" under threads not dealing with the animosity shown by some in the anti-gun posts, the absence of such focus highlights of irrationality of those focusing upon their belief that gun ownership is the cause of the shooting or others like it.
Timothy McVeigh didn't need a gun to be a BOMB nut and react in an antisocial way with a bomb. No gun ownership caused him to act in the way that he did.
You don't like the fact that I've pointed out that anti-gun DU posters have shown animosity towards DU gun owners in these threads without focusing upon the economic disparity? Too bad.
