(1,954 posts)Firstly, I don't (think) I've ever denied that background checks are not currently universal. My memory is fairly bad, though, so take that with a grain of salt.
Point one: Your first link is hardly a death threat. It is an examination of possibility in regards to one rather overzealous gun control advocate insisting on confiscation, and arguably good information given should said poster attempt that course of action to any given gun fanatic. What you call a death threat, I would say is a damned fine bit of advice. Confiscation attempts would likely result in an unhinged loon and a firefight eventually.
Point two: You throw broad-brush accusations, promote fear-mongering, accuse DUers of arms-trafficking, blame them for a piddling amount of property damage, and you expect sympathy? You're a stranger on the internet. Your story could be true, it could be false, and in either case, most other people just won't care one way or another. I wouldn't take such things so personally.
Point three: And? Hell, I've had two close friends off themselves and two more die to random gun violence. Aside from remorse for their families, what do you want out of me, let alone random strangers? Embarking on a crusade won't do anything for the dead.
It seems more than anything that you're just upset that people don't really respond the way you want them to respond. That's a -good- thing, Bain. Individuals react in different ways, in regards to any emotion. Some people get angry, others get sad. Some get despondent, and some just don't give a shit (That'd be me). You really can't justifiably be upset because people aren't reacting in the exact way you wish them to. Moreover, none of these links (of the three in your prior post) give much support, if any, to the notion that the Gungeon folks want to arm criminals, or any of the other rather silly hyperbolic projections you've tried to establish. What's worse is that I think you know that; you're not stupid, you know your stuff, but you keep using those blasted logical fallacies that give the idiots on the pro-gun side the PERFECT way to frame you as a gun-grabbing authoritarian. I'll respond to your other post shortly, after a brief bio break and a smoke.
