Oh my, that was a typo...
But you do you :rolleyes:
I mean, it's hard to take something saying "yer cunt because you explain why people won't go for gun control" any other way than they think i'm a cunt for explaining why people won't go for gun control.

You know, if you were raised in a normal family, you'd know that some things need to happen whether people want them or not. I'm sure your parents, no matter how strongly you wanted to touch fire, always stopped you from doing so.
Now insulting my family because of what I believe.

I'll be honest, my family are hardcore democrats, I was actually kicked out a few years back for being conservative. So despite what you think, they didn't teach me this way, the internet taught me this way. Leave them out of this anyway, this is between you and me and they shouldn't be dragged into this mess because you're running out of ammo.
Look at what President Eisenhower did when the American public gave that shameful answer to his racial integration in schools referendums: Muricans actually said "NO" and he (rightly) shamed all of them naysayers for being unrepentant evil racists, and did so anyway.
Racism and guns are completely different, one is taking away the rights of a group of people for their skin color, the other is shooty shooty bang bang pew pew. They aren't the same at all.
Politicians forgot that they're in office to do their job, which is SERVING the community. Even if means not getting re-elected. Which, frankly, is the best argument for imposing term limits on every political position: stop this crazy idea of people being taxpayer-funded for their entire life, and using political jobs as career trampolines. Throughout the world, not just in the US, we need to return to politics being a SERVICE, not a SELF-SERVICE.
Only thing I agree with, we need term limits, it shouldn't be a cushy job for the rest of your life.

Yeah... about this... I actually haven't read anything you wrote before.
What makes you think I actually give a fuck about what you or anyone here that is pro-gun thinks?

Not at all. Reading issues, much?

Clear incompatibilities.

I did.

The matter of what's right however, is not.

Actually, good point. I don't give a flying fuck about what anti gun activists believe, I know deep down that this issue won't change, and that I'm most likely right here.

Huh.
Clear incompatibilities.
Yeah, probably. I still visit them, but I avoid talking politics anymore. Irony was this all started because they asked me if I'd vote for trump for the 2020 election and I said yes. (This was before the attempted takeover.)
Again
You know, if you were raised in a normal family
Seems like you didn't, good sire.

Not exactly, racism was and will always be bad, guns aren't bad at all, and should not be banned because of a few select incidents.

Ah haha, omg.
But yes you're right.
Honestly, I probably came off as a bit of a douchenozzle there, I'm sorry for the strong language.

I might disagree with anti gun activists, but I do enjoy debating and listening to their points as well, doesn't harm a soul, and I get new insight into their thought processes.

I apologise if you took it badly, I meant genuinely that as "non-dysfunctional" or "hippy". You know, a standard one, where parents teach that you're not supposed to swallow bleach, no sugar after 5pm and "homework before telly".

There is nothing "few" nor "selected" about these incidents. The only year they stopped was the lockdown year. America has a gun violence issue which taints everything.

Eh, that makes sense.

Honestly they never really cared about what I did as long as they were left alone or i wasn't committing crimes.

Add armed security guards, problem solved for 99% of these incidents.

Nonsense, and it shows.
Please explain how it is nonsense.

I suppose that's a parenting style.
Yeah, I suppose it is. Don't care about your kids, then get angry when they believe different stuff than you.

Honestly I committed a few crimes as well, but they never harmed anyone else. (Weed, underage drinking). Never hurt anymore, and hey, what they didn't know wouldn't have hurt them.

Police waiting 2 hours. And we're talking about THE police, not a private force.

I agree, not all crimes are equal but "crime" is a word with too much emotional baggage.

Ah, that explains it. I meant like 2 or 3 officers equipped with guns.

Yeah, i'd say more like a felony and a misdemeanor.

In this particular situation, it might have been helpful if they shut the door. Might have redirected the guy to the nearest farm or petting zoo instead.

I thought the teacher who reported seeing the guy with a gun left the door open. Imagine a teacher saving the police the trouble.
