Says the biggest extremist here.

We all know that your ONLY agenda with the 2a is to try to take away the Constitutional rights of those you disagree with, which is why you turn a blind eye at all of the examples of right wing Republican violence I just posted. It's because you FULLY support it when one of yours murders someone for their opinions or beliefs. Sick fuck you are.


Your playbook:

1) Have a disagreement with someone
2) Build a caricature of reality with great exaggerations about that person's opinions.
3) Name call and attack the caricature in which you've built.
4) Assume victory in your mind, stand tall and virtuous hoping the leftist gods have noticed your virtue. So stunning, so brave.

What lie? Beto said he'd push a forced buyback. That is what he said. He is a mainstream and somewhat popular Democrat candidate for president. That will cause violence and I'm sure it won't be Beto doing the confiscating, right? Easy to say from a million miles away sitting on his dictator's throne, using the constitution to wipe his ass.

Like you give a shit about the Constitution while your God-Emperor openly violates the Emoluments clause to use public office for personal gain, and you celebrate joyously every time one of your right wing extremist buddies uses their 2a to murder a leftist for their opinions.

There you go building a bullshit reality to attack again. I hope you topple that evil giant in your head that you've created.

Holy projection, Batman.

Why don't you go start another "Offended liberal" thread and then go off on another namecalling tirade when you find out that no liberals are actually offended?

I am not. I am saying that there will likely be violence if Beto tries to put this plan in action, confiscating rifles that he deems look too scary.
Which, just like the GOP rep in the OP, is threatening violence. You're saying, if I don't get my way, there will be violence. Which once again, is typical of your right wing extremist ilk, as demonstrated by all the links I posted earlier.

You did however support the Texas Representative that threatened O'Rouke with his AR.

I didn't exactly do that... but....

Don't forget that O'Rouke did threaten to bypass our constitutional rights and act as a dictator.

"It is ok to fight for our constitutional rights." is what you said.
You said it's Ok for him to say/do it.

And O'Rouke didn't bypass shit in the constitution. Did he say he was going to take EVERY gun? Did he say he was going to repeal the 2A?

Here's a way to understand the sick mentality you're dealing with. The other week, I was reading Twitter comments about the Patriot Prayer attack on the Cider Riot brewpub in Portland. A video had been released showing armed Patriot Prayer members meeting up, planning the attack, and then walking some 20 blocks to carry it out. A rightie entered the discussion and said that Patriot Prayer acted entirely in self-defense. Ok, someone else said, posting screenshots of Patriot Prayer members holding weapons, what were these for? "Defensive weapons," was the rightie's reply.
What you're seeing here are people who will make up ANY narrative, regardless of how ridiculously untruthful, in order to justify their acts of violence. Or, as the Nuremberg prosecutor Ben Ferencz calls it, "pre-emptive self-defense." They literally believe that they are defending themselves as they instigate and perpetuate acts of violence.

It is ok to fight a tyrannical government if it gets to that point. It is ok to disagree on twitter. I'm not convinced what he said was a threat, though I do see how it is a bit grey. I personally hope it doesn't come to violence, and I think that TX rep has to be careful with his words. But, the illogical feelings-first left is not taking our guns or gun rights any more. For any serious candidate to get on stage on national TV and talk about doing just that is dangerous, not the response. I'd say the issue is more with Beto inciting than that law maker's response.

And yes, Beto is shitting a corny nutty turd right on the 2A. AR15 are not unique compared to any other semi auto out there, but are unfairly targeted simply due to being a popular platform. Wow, a .22 caliber semi-auto.

I know. I know... I know. I swore off responding to SlowSpyder in the past and used to yell at people for commenting on his threads and taking the bait. Somehow I feel into it again. I feel embarrassed for doing so. I'm not taking the bait anymore. Other's can respond, but the best thing to do is to let him yell into the void all by himself. Thanks for the reminder!

I think it is funny yet sad the lengths some of you will go to try and distort reality when you hear things you don't like. Your lack of replies will be no loss for me. Safe places, yo.

It does say the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. And when we consider the reality that far fewer people are killed by AR15's than are killed by hammers and bats, you don't have logical ground to stand on for taking them away.

If you and Beto care so much about saving lives, where is that tobacco forced confiscation?

NPC's.

back to the AR-15's are like hammers or bats argument. You people are so fucking dense it's depressing that you people get a chance to pull a lever on election day.

Idiotic argument. I used to agree with you a lot in the tech forums, but it seems you've lost something over the years, now you post drivel. Oh well.
You really think you and a small band of militia can go toe to toe with the US gov't? That might have worked when everybody had muskets...not gonna happen in this day and age.

I post a lot more in P&N than I do in the tech forums now, and it's sad to see how crazified and devoid of facts (eg. inauguration crowd size...I mean really...it's verfiably false, and it's a very minor example) that the right has become. When one side creates it's own reality and uses that to fight, the mutual respect game plan from before doesn't work. Just the fact that the right has rallied around a serial liar and all around terrible human being tells me all I need to know. How can you go from (supposedly) being a liberal to supporting someone like him? I think it's you that might have changed. The "left" still stands for what it has always done, but the game has changed, have to fight fire with fire sometimes.

So he's basically said, come and try taking my gun. That's no different than what I would say to someone saying they want to take my guns. Lets see you try it. Do so and I'll meet you with it.

Well, we've been in Afghanistan for 18 years. Vietnam was a struggle, and it isn't like we left with a resounding victory. Also the U.S. government is US. Asking Americans to drop bombs and shoot at other Americans is not the same as all out war with another country. A good deal of the armed forces probably leans rights and wouldn't want to enforce an attack on the 2A. I think you're looking at this as too binary of a situation.

It was easy to buy into Trump. He puts America first, I appreciate that. The truth is, I think Trump is pretty good, but what pushes me in that direction more than anything is how far gone the left is today. I used to think I had the same values as them, then I realized that they are actually the oppressive group think promoters of racism today. I don't like that.

Antifa literally does the exact same thing.

Both organizations are stupid and violent.

We may form a well regulated militia to preserve and protect our constitutional rights from tyrants that would try to take away those rights.

Under the command of your state Governor, of course. It's always been that way for real militias as opposed to wannabee militias like the Bundy bunch.

You should find out if there's one in your state & join up.


I'm sure they'll be in existence with or without AR's.

EXACTLY! Extremism isn't welcome. (Noticed you skipped the Dayton shooting by the Antifa member... ) And Beto talking about forced buy backs is exactly that, extremism. That is what a dictator would do. Amazing how far left the Democrats have gone, they're to the point where mainstream presidential candidates are talking about taking guns from law abiding citizens openly now.

So Ronald Reagan was a extremist?

AND the dayton Shooter was not a member of the Antifa. There is no Antifia membership.
