I'm back for more abuse from the gun nuts [View all] SHRED Nov 2017 OP

Who are the gun nuts? pintobean Nov 2017 #1

Anyone that disagrees with him. Nt hack89 Nov 2017 #4

If the shoe fits... SHRED Nov 2017 #12

I bet you and I agree on many things hack89 Nov 2017 #16

30 kids dead in CT...60 dead in Las Vegas....60 or so dead in Orlando, 26 dead in Texas shooting... Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #53

Many here say confiscation is reasonable hack89 Nov 2017 #54

Do you think confiscation of the guns of some people or organizations is never ever reasonable? Ukapau Nov 2017 #69

No hack89 Nov 2017 #75

How about disarming military-grade weapons from civilians? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #80

No. I like my rifles hack89 Nov 2017 #81

Your fondness for them doesn't ultimately mean anything Orrex Nov 2017 #86

Sure. A law could be passed and I could loose them hack89 Nov 2017 #93

I appreciate that answer. Orrex Nov 2017 #99

Interesting. Straw Man Nov 2017 #127

Look at it from the other side Orrex Nov 2017 #128

Eh? Straw Man Nov 2017 #131

Really? REALLY? Orrex Nov 2017 #137

Yes, really. Straw Man Nov 2017 #139

Step One: correctly identify the NRA as a terrorist group Orrex Nov 2017 #143

Your agenda is doomed from the outset. Straw Man Nov 2017 #178

Spare me the sermons Orrex Nov 2017 #180

Sermons? Straw Man Nov 2017 #182

Nothing is as charming as a self-righteous gun advocate Orrex Nov 2017 #183

You're missing several pertinent facts. Straw Man Nov 2017 #187

Wheres that inventory I asked for? What are you afraid of? Marengo Nov 2017 #211

And you sound happy about it. HopeAgain Nov 2017 #113

ok. nt hack89 Nov 2017 #121

I said you could keep a rifle. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #90

No. I mean AR-15s. Nt hack89 Nov 2017 #94

Why do you need that gun? I'm serious. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #96

Competitive target shooting hack89 Nov 2017 #98

Competitive target shooting, as in you shoot at each other? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #102

Glad to see you have maintained your sense of humor. Nt hack89 Nov 2017 #118

So the competition is who can mow down the most people/targets? n/t forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #144

No. hack89 Nov 2017 #150

So when do you need those types of guns off the firing range? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #153

Off the range they are locked up in a safe. Nt hack89 Nov 2017 #158

So you may as well not even own them. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #162

No need. hack89 Nov 2017 #164

Could you possibly compete with guns forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #105

Not and feel macho at the same time... HopeAgain Nov 2017 #116

I do envision that every "competetive target practice" participant forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #148

I used to do target shooting as a kid HopeAgain Nov 2017 #156

Don't see the need hack89 Nov 2017 #120

It only takes one... HopeAgain Nov 2017 #125

Ok nt hack89 Nov 2017 #126

Seems like he's just fine with the random mass slaughter of innocents. It's ok with him. StrictlyRockers Nov 2017 #155

Yep. Post number 126 shows exactly how much they care, doesn't it? kcr Nov 2017 #186

But the toys you compete with nonviolently forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #147

Got to break in right here SonofDonald Nov 2017 #185

In a self defense situation Id rather have 30 rounds before reloading than 6 Marengo Nov 2017 #190

insecurity Skittles Nov 2017 #198

Civilians dont own military grade weapons ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #83

So, question, Gun People... forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #92

Not sure if need is the issue. But if you like M1s, their capacity is eight. jmg257 Nov 2017 #129

Again, I ask... forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #152

Not sure - maybe you need more then 1 round per enemy? Figure a double-tap per, at least.. jmg257 Nov 2017 #154

So...the phrase "double tap" comes from a zombie movie. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #167

No, it doesn't. And Mozambique drill is three rounds per, so just call it 18... jmg257 Nov 2017 #168

So, you personally need the ability to kill 20 people without reloading. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #169

Personally? No. jmg257 Nov 2017 #172

And specifically, ClarendonDem... forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #95

:) C Moon Nov 2017 #109

You've got eight friends you want to kill? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #110

Me? No. I was smiling because I liked the way you handled that situation. C Moon Nov 2017 #117

Because 6 is too few in my mind for self-defense purposes ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #138

So you're planning for a mob home invasion forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #145

You obviously dont keep up with the news ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #170

What people? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #171

So I only get guns if I use them? ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #175

Did any of them defend their home with an AR-15? forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #177

Assault weapons ban is a different animal ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #179

Thank you. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #181

Well ... Straw Man Nov 2017 #212

Well, in the face of logic like that... forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #213

Never let facts ... Straw Man Nov 2017 #216

Okay, give me some facts. forgotmylogin Nov 2017 #217

I gave you a fact. Straw Man Nov 2017 #218

The problem is that we don't know they're violent or even felons until AFTER they have a gun. George II Nov 2017 #88
