In reply to the discussion: Serious Questions For Those Who Oppose Gun Laws [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)35. WOW, I hadn't seen that.
        I also just noticed that one of the absentee Hosts of the "other group", is up in ATA again, demanding that we be immediately purged from DU as not "True Democrats". 
"Its just SO unfair that people say things we disagree with, maybe if we call those things 'right wing' we can shut them up somehow".
I was juried for replying to this:
Yet 99.9% of firearms will never be used in a crime, and 99.9% of firearm owners are responsible, law abiding citizens. 
With this:
Inconvenient facts, those.
Somehow, it has to be unfair for you to bring them up...or something. 
 
Besides, you know the drill:
The 99+ percent that don't commit gun violence have blood on their hands for the actions of the less than .1 percent, and should be shunned, ridiculed, lambasted, mocked, belittled, and in every other way hassled, because guns.

I guess the truth hurts, fortunately, the jury did not see things the alerters way:
REASON FOR ALERT 
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is NRA propaganda. You can choose to let this kind of shit slide, or you can take a stand, DU. We shouldn't be having a debate with these people, who are as Republican as they get. That's what Disscussionist is for, not DEMOCRATIC underground. If you stop them from posting these right wing talking points that could've come straight out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth, maybe they'll take their shit elsewhere.
Your choice, jury. Do you want this to be a place for right wing nonsense, or will you take a stand?

        Where I live lots of people carry, every day. No special talent required to not fear them.

        You seem upset others aren't sharing your delusions. Try to not "lose it."

        That pretty well explains why you lot want to stick it to everyone, rather than just the criminals.

        So pre judging is bad ... except for you pre judging all gun owners - ironic, ain't it?

        The questioner isn't "serious," he/she is just spewing the usual.  Trash this.
