Memorial threads for gun victims. [View all] stone space Dec 2014 OP

Take them over to Castle Bansalot. hack89 Dec 2014 #1

Why do memorial threads need to be snuffed out? (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #2

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

Why have a gun if you don't live in fear? upaloopa Dec 2014 #104

Why support gun control if you don't live in fear? kioa Dec 2014 #105

Bull fucking shit. You can't even go out of your upaloopa Dec 2014 #106

I don't carry. kioa Dec 2014 #107

You are right people are afraid of our gun culture. upaloopa Dec 2014 #108

Thus you support gun control out of irrational fear. kioa Dec 2014 #109

Not irrational upaloopa Dec 2014 #111

You are convinced that the USA is so scary that kioa Dec 2014 #112

Do you think that stuff up yourself? upaloopa Dec 2014 #113

No. I quoted you. kioa Dec 2014 #115

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

I'll post one here. stone space Dec 2014 #14

Just read and understand the forum SOP hack89 Dec 2014 #15

SOP stone space Dec 2014 #18

So make sure you add some actual discussion to your post and there will be no problem hack89 Dec 2014 #22

Not about guns, but mental health and security failures. ileus Dec 2014 #32

This thread isn't about guns? stone space Dec 2014 #35

This thread violates the SOP for this group, GGJohn Dec 2014 #12

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

That explains why there isn't more posts about 'rope violence'. kioa Dec 2014 #29

This is a gun group, not a rope group. (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #39

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

It's not a memorial thread. kioa Dec 2014 #56

John Lennon is a troll? stone space Dec 2014 #63

John Lennon didn't write the thread. kioa Dec 2014 #66

I wrote the thread. stone space Dec 2014 #68

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

Which it was, and was rightly locked, and I'm calling this a troll thread. GGJohn Dec 2014 #71

We'd have to discuss how the system failed the victims. ileus Dec 2014 #13

How can that be discussed if... stone space Dec 2014 #17

Because this thread, like your one that was locked, GGJohn Dec 2014 #21

SOP stone space Dec 2014 #23

And that's not what this thread is about. GGJohn Dec 2014 #28

The John Lennon memorial thread that got snuffed out did. stone space Dec 2014 #31

I don't see where you started any discussion. oneshooter Dec 2014 #37

The video is a comment. I agree with John Lennon. stone space Dec 2014 #40

You keep using the term "snuffed out", it was locked. oneshooter Dec 2014 #44

"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

What did you disagree with him on? kioa Dec 2014 #89

Do you also plan sarisataka Dec 2014 #47

Does it matter? stone space Dec 2014 #49

I am wondering if victims matter sarisataka Dec 2014 #57

You are free to start threads reflecting your viewpoints. stone space Dec 2014 #58

By my rough count sarisataka Dec 2014 #61

"Happiness is a warm gun" is a strong and powerful comment. stone space Dec 2014 #62

Allow me to restate... sarisataka Dec 2014 #64

I thought the SOP was written down. stone space Dec 2014 #65

Not in the mood sarisataka Dec 2014 #75

In other words, the John Lennon memorial thread... stone space Dec 2014 #76

I do not speak for the group host sarisataka Dec 2014 #84

You broke the irony meter. beevul Dec 2014 #81

Why does a memorial thread for John Lennon need to be snuffed out? (nt) stone space Dec 2014 #82

Try reading the SOP... beevul Dec 2014 #83

Reading the SOP doesn't help. stone space Dec 2014 #85

Oh bullshit. beevul Dec 2014 #93

A memorial thread for John Lennon is not trolling. stone space Dec 2014 #79

Memorial threads that mention anything critical of their precious firearms is "trolling" to them. Fred Sanders Dec 2014 #86

Where does this OP say anything about Lennon? Where did his John Lennon OP say anything about kioa Dec 2014 #87

"Happiness is a warm gun" stone space Dec 2014 #90

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

Glad to see you admit that your Lennon thread had nothing to do with gun control. kioa Dec 2014 #88

"Happiness is a warm gun" stone space Dec 2014 #91

It's too bad you couldn't use your "music video based rights" prior to the elections. kioa Dec 2014 #95

Constantly repeating a lie doesn't magically turn it into the truth. GGJohn Dec 2014 #96

It's a statement so strong and powerful... stone space Dec 2014 #98
