In reply to the discussion: Serious Questions For Those Who Oppose Gun Laws [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)57. I bet you say that to everyone you can't bully.
        But I will reiterate it is impossible to have a civil discussion on this topic because gun nuts are aggressive.
If you define 'agressive' as unwilling to be pushed around or bullied, unwilling to stay silent while being dealt with in a dishonest fashion, and unwilling to accept anti-gun lies and misrepresentations, then you are absolutely correct.
The first sign that you are uninterested in a civil discussion, is your historically demonstrated unwillingness or inability (I'm not sure which, maybe you can tell us) to be civil.
You don't just get to run around name calling and labeling us, then cry foul that we are the ones not being civil, and not have your own incivility pointed out.
Sorry.
Don't like someone taking a slightly less than cordial tone with you? Fine. Then don't show up on a threshold you claim not to darken loaded for bear with snide snark and condescendion. No one's going to handle you with kid gloves when you lead off by being an ass.
Or do go ahead and pull that shit...but then don't be a hypocrite and whinge when you get a little back in return, m'kay?

        Unlike the Controllers who just carry the default assumption everyone wears a black hat

        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.
