    No it is not a threat. To tell somebody that you’re willing to defend yourself and your rights with violence is only a threat to those who will take them. It’s a secondary reaction not a primary action.

      No one came to take anything away from him. The only rights infringed are the people whose live he ended prematurely. Stop your bullshit.

            Would you think the same if it was a comment about taking women’s conception rights/bodily autonomy? The whole “handmaid’s tale” thing is exactly this. Everything is the handmaid’s tale when it comes to women’s rights, but these rights are just problematic. I want women to have rights, and Americans to have gun rights. Rights for everyone, tyranny for no one.

                Ironically it’s probably because of all the unwanted children due to legal or cultural prohibitions on abortion that cause the misery needed to lead to school shootings. Aside from that, people sucking does not mean I lose my rights. Tell the media to stop reporting gang shootings near schools as school shootings and drive-bys as mass shootings. Tell the media to stop publicizing the shooters and making them “interesting” to the public. Lots of that shit is copycats.

                  You don’t have the right to make a nuclear bomb in your backyard, either.

                  When they passed laws against drinking and driving, people complained that the government was taking away their rights. Same with requiring you to wear a seatbelt.

                    When a nuclear bomb becomes something a regular person can make without a nation-state worth of backing let me know them we can worry about that.

                    As far as driving goes it has never been a right guaranteed by the constitution. Maybe they’d have a point if it was.

              No, because Women’s right are good. Taking away some of them is bad. The point your missing is I don’t want you to have guns. Any argument you make about “taking away some rights is a step towards taking away more rights” is going to be met with me saying “Good.”

              None of this is an argument that it is good for you to have guns. I find it interesting that the comic equates guns to cake, something that is a luxury that serves no purpose other than the users enjoyment. If someone takes away all your cake your not suddenly living in some hellscape, you’re just not as happy as you would be with cake. If you own guns just because it makes you happy, you are exactly the type of person who should not be allowed to own guns.

                That’s what we call mask off. If the gun grabbers wouldn’t be so sneaky and two-faced we’d have a real outcome based on what the public wants, not “won’t someone PLEASE think of the children” emotional arguments hiding the real goal.

                  I think most of the public doesn’t want to worry about being shot.

                    If you actually look at the statistics you wouldn’t. Just like you’re extremely unlikely to get measles but we do innoculate ourselves. The innoculation to gun crime is a lead innoculation for those commiting it. Criminals don’t stop commiting crime because it’s illegal you know.

                    That’s difficult to say because they don’t say what the question is. It could be as simple as “do you think common sense laws to keep guns out of the hands of criminals/children/immigrants are a good idea” or it could be even more weasely. Without knowing the actual question the survey results are meaningless.

                  What mask? I never claimed otherwise.

                  “won’t someone PLEASE think of the children” emotional arguments hiding the real goal.

                  What do you think is the reason for the “real goal”?

                    The mask is used by politicians trying to hide banning all guns as sensible gun control. I’m just stating that you are telling the truth the politicians will not.

                    I don’t know if you’ve ever watched The Simpsons but that is a quote from a reactionary trying to get what they want with no real reason so they say it’s for the kids. It has been a very successful political tool. Just think of cispa and other various internet censorship and spying tools.

      Can’t be a threat when you own a handgun. Only absolute fucking cowardly pussies own handguns, so they’re no threat

      Simple logic
