I am not sure what you're implying that I'm implying. I am addressing the original point of this whole thread, which is a 'comparison' between two photos of two separate events--all these fools who think the two events are even remotely similar. And thanks for regurgitating what everyone else have already been saying about how more people die from house hold objects than firearms, it's pretty much the go to bullet point for any anti gun-control debater.

I'm not talking about random household items. I'm talking about blunt objects like bats and clubs that are routinely used as weapons. Why wouldn't that be a go to point, it's the truth.

I think it's obvious that you were implying that more people are killed by semi-auto rifles than clubs. Why else would you say what you said? If you misspoke, fine, I was just pointing it out.

I'm not sure where I misspoke unless you just take words out of the context of the discussion at hand. But if you are that single minded, I'll try and keep it as simple and specific as possible for you with my words from now on so people like you don't need to reinterpret to whatever you're wanting to talk about at the moment.

Ok, just so we're clear, when you said "How many people have died from billy clubs vs how many people have died from a semi-auto rifle?" you were talking about how many of those incidents have been sensationalized in the media? Like I said, that makes sense, but that's not what you said. Because comparing the actual numbers goes directly against the point that you were making.

No, if you actually read my entire post, I'm talking about the comparison between the two photos. How many have died from white crackers shooting up people with AR15s in public places versus Black Panther dumbasses with billy clubs at polling station--addressing the original poster's trolling post about which is more intimidating, guy walking around JCP with an AR15 or black panthers with billy clubs at polling stations. I know what you're trying to get at, you were just being that giddy little kid with a point to make, even though the point has already been done to death, and you got too excited about it that you zeroed in on a single sentence I wrote just so you can make your point. But anyway, good job, you made your point, even though it's a point that everyone already know :)

You sure do get worked up over having to clarify an overly general statement.

One picture the guy has the weapon in his hand.
The other does not.

One is a threat.
The other is not.

What do I win?

Your choice... A dream date with your choice of AT forum members as long as those members are either Moonbeam, DCCAL, Craig, or CharlesK. /S

Hehehehe.

Ask the prosecutor who arrested and charged them with voter intimidation.

Not to mention most all states have laws against any weapon at a polling station. You can clear see the weapon in hand, a DIRECT and credible threat. Had he made an aggressive move towards me or a verbal threat I could shoot him thank god.

Considering that many polling stations are on some sort of public property, and many in schools you couldn't be legally armed in order to defend yourself. The irony...
