They belong in GD. hack89 Dec 2014 #3
We're talking about gun victims here. stone space Dec 2014 #4
Because they aren't 'gun victims' anymore than Robin Williams was a 'rope victim' kioa Dec 2014 #5
Of course not, because guns were designed to kill, these other things were not, duh. Fred Sanders Dec 2014 #7
So it is not the actual death toll but the designed purpose that determines what should be banned? hack89 Dec 2014 #9
It is not an argument silly, it is an observation, like observing the earth is flat...no argument. Fred Sanders Dec 2014 #11
In that case "Assault Weapons" must be defective seeing as how 6 times as many people are killed by kioa Dec 2014 #24
6 times more killed? So.....about 200,000....LOL x infinity. Rifles? LOL. Trying to exclude all Fred Sanders Dec 2014 #33
"Assault weapons" are rifles. All rifles are used in less than 1/6th the murders that knives are. kioa Dec 2014 #54

Guns are designed to save lives. ileus Dec 2014 #30
I missed the policy part of your OP where you discussed how to fix the problem hack89 Dec 2014 #6
Will my December 14th memorial thread be snuffed out, also? (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #8
Post it in GD and see what happens. It deserves a wider audience. nt hack89 Dec 2014 #10

SOP stone space Dec 2014 #18

Not about guns, but mental health and security failures. ileus Dec 2014 #32
This thread isn't about guns? stone space Dec 2014 #35

Why is there so much fear of gun victims? stone space Dec 2014 #16
Why are you always claiming there's fear? GGJohn Dec 2014 #19
When memorial threads for gun victims get snuffed out, ... stone space Dec 2014 #20
No, that's just your opinion, GGJohn Dec 2014 #26

And this is a troll thread. kioa Dec 2014 #51
Not fear but annoyance with bullshit passive aggressive emotional manipulation hack89 Dec 2014 #25
I started an actual discussion here: stone space Dec 2014 #27
I must have missed the discussion part of it. Looks like a music video to me and nothing else hack89 Dec 2014 #34
The video expressed my thoughts. I agree with John Lennon. stone space Dec 2014 #38
That happiness can be found through shooting guns? hack89 Dec 2014 #43
No, it was locked due to the fact that it didn't conform to the SOP. GGJohn Dec 2014 #36
The John Lennon thread followed the SOP. Yet, it was snuffed out. stone space Dec 2014 #41
No it didn't, GGJohn Dec 2014 #45
That's fear. Gunners are afraid of gun victims. stone space Dec 2014 #48
No it isn't, GGJohn Dec 2014 #50
Memorial threads wouldn't get snuffed out otherwise. (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #52

John Lennon is a troll? stone space Dec 2014 #63
John Lennon didn't write the thread. kioa Dec 2014 #66

Let us look at the common definition of the word: kioa Dec 2014 #72
How is a John Lennon memorial thread disruptive? stone space Dec 2014 #74
Arguments supporting gun control is what doesn't make sense. kioa Dec 2014 #77
That explains why they get snuffed out, I suppose. stone space Dec 2014 #78
When? Your troll thread had no argument for gun control. kioa Dec 2014 #80
Very cute, but you know damn well what he's referring to. GGJohn Dec 2014 #67
He called the John Lennon memorial thread a troll thread. (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #69

"Happiness is a warm gun" isn't a comment? (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #46
Where in that thread did you actually start a discussion? GGJohn Dec 2014 #42
In the OP. "Happiness is a warm gun". stone space Dec 2014 #53
No, it's not, it's a lame ass video with no comment by you, GGJohn Dec 2014 #55
Disagreement with you is not trolling. (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #59
Not saying it is, this thread is an attempt to troll, GGJohn Dec 2014 #60

This isn't a music video group. kioa Dec 2014 #92
Maybe it's the movies, maybe it's the books... stone space Dec 2014 #97
Maybe you can support a repeal of freedom of religion & use a youtube video of "Imagine". kioa Dec 2014 #100
