In reply to the discussion: The Rude Pundit - According to the NRA, We're Screwed...Right Now [View all]Straw Man
(6,655 posts)13. You "get" nothing. That is plain.
No points for your desperate attempts to conflate average gun owners with murderous psychopaths or for your delusion that banning particular pieces of hardware will somehow prevent the latter from achieving their gruesome goals.
You never met a gun control proposition that you didn't like, and you believe that anyone who doesn't swallow your belief system whole is guilty of indifference to the slaughter of the innocents. It's a lame canard and always has been. And yes, it's a Lovejoy.
Go post your opinions in that General Discussion thread, I dare you. I bet they fly like a lead balloon.

Don't pretend that you have any interest in actual discussion. It's an insult to everyone's intelligence, yours included.

Under-aged drinking kills 4,300 kids annually. That's more than 4 Sandy Hooks a week.

"Go post your opinions in that General Discussion thread" Why not unban and let me post at GCRA?

Your fearmongering and cheap appeals to emotion are no better than the NRA variety

They use the same methods as the NRA- fearmongering, 'otherizing', appeals to emotion

I addressed that in an earlier thread. Most people aren't as obsessed with the issue as you are.
