My apologies. You did not start that thread. You did join in the callous discussion though. Hoyt May 2012 #47

This message was self-deleted by its author friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #82

That was a callous thread- not a one of your posts impelled anyone to do anything differently. friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #82

Having a firearm during a natural disaster such as a hurricane ... spin May 2012 #43

Don't coddle us. NewMoonTherian May 2012 #58

That follows your usual posts. era veteran May 2012 #22

Tbaggers are probably the biggest group of gun owners, toters, NRA members, bloggers on Stormfront Hoyt May 2012 #27

Plenty of Democrats own and even legally carry firearms ... spin May 2012 #44

I give you credit for posting the part about the vast majority opposing Hoyt May 2012 #46

I generally disagree with your positions on the public carry of firearms but ... spin May 2012 #49

Bullshit era veteran Jun 2012 #90

O.K. I went to the site ... spin Jun 2012 #91

I am sorry that should have been a response to Hoyt era veteran Jun 2012 #92

Toter Heathen! n/t PavePusher Jun 2012 #82

In post #50, you listed, "...churches...". GreenStormCloud May 2012 #63

My cat says thanks. Glad none of the cats or shelter staff jumped you. Hoyt May 2012 #67

Tiny town. Everybody know everybody. They knew me. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #110

Glad the cat is back. They really do have at least 9 lives. Hoyt Jun 2012 #111

Where do you think churches are? krispos42 Jun 2012 #113

I bet my rear you aren't going to the church in "shitty neighborhood." Is that why you carry, to Hoyt Jun 2012 #124

No bet... krispos42 Jun 2012 #126

Not surprisingly, those in burbs often fear those in"shitty" areas, as you describe it. Hoyt Jun 2012 #127

Those in the shitty areas also often fear the shitty areas, too. krispos42 Jun 2012 #128

The way Hoyt describes his neck of the woods, gejohnston Jun 2012 #130

Someone would have to have a gun before I was in church. era veteran Jun 2012 #123

Common ground in the big tent party!! era veteran Jun 2012 #129

Your omniscience is... truely magnificent. PavePusher Jun 2012 #81

The term Gun Nut in its most common form is a mild insult at worst slackmaster May 2012 #13

mentall ilness = gun nut? nice slur to either group --- Tuesday Afternoon May 2012 #48

The perp would have been impotent without his guns in this case. Hoyt May 2012 #51

You know this through fantasy or ? Tejas May 2012 #61

Just know a lot of gun owners/toters. Hoyt May 2012 #62

I'm sure the ones you know are typical of the ones you know... friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #80

And what do they think of your analogy? Tejas Jun 2012 #122

nice turn of a phrase you chose Tuesday Afternoon May 2012 #64

Right, 'cause there are no other lethal tools.... PavePusher Jun 2012 #86

The guy was mentally ill and those killed were friends of my kid. uppityperson May 2012 #52

My deepest condolences SGMRTDARMY May 2012 #53

The guy was a nut, with a gun. Not a gun nut. I'll rant against gun nuts but this guy was just menta uppityperson May 2012 #54

I'll be dammed -- he was a "gun nut" with permit and everything. Hoyt May 2012 #68

like improve mental health services? gejohnston May 2012 #69

Agree with that. But we don't have to make it easy on folks like this, Zimmerman, etc., to kill Hoyt May 2012 #71

Indeed. n/t Cali_Democrat May 2012 #70

Gross. n/t Tuesday Afternoon Jun 2012 #121

THAT PERMIT IS THE ONLY REASON THIS TERRIBLE CRIME HAPPENED! slackmaster May 2012 #74

Kind of embarrassing to be gun advocate, carrier, etc., when something like this happens, isn't it? Hoyt Jun 2012 #78

So, when someone gets killed by a licenced driver, all licenced drivers are at fault. PavePusher Jun 2012 #87

Yep. And everybody with a computer that has Net access is responsible for this guy: friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #89

We are not talking cars -- we are talking lethal weapons that you guys lobby on behalf of. Hoyt Jun 2012 #94

Lets talk alchohol then hack89 Jun 2012 #108

Cars are very much lethal weapons, and with a far higher accidental death rate. PavePusher Jun 2012 #116

Preach it, Brother Anslinger! friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #88

I feel absolutely no responsibility, shame, or embarrassment from any action that was not my fault slackmaster Jun 2012 #93

"Basic gun safety" to people who carry guns on city streets -- that's a joke. Hoyt Jun 2012 #95

Many of my students have been children and teens. None had ever handled a firearm previously. slackmaster Jun 2012 #97

I'm safe with the gun I carry on my town's streets, safe when I go into the supermarket with it, SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #98

Zimmerman and Stawicki were "safe" too, right up until circumstances changed and they shot someone. Hoyt Jun 2012 #106

Your just too precious SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #107

So had already decided in his mind to kill 5 people Meiko Jun 2012 #103

I MUST BE RIGHT BECAUSE I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS!!!111!!! slackmaster Jun 2012 #109

No, but because NRA and gun "advocates" try to make them acceptable -- we end up with this. Hoyt Jun 2012 #115

Your surprise only underscores how rare this combination of circumstances is. krispos42 Jun 2012 #114

You should edit this again. I don't particularly care about "gun nut", but using "nut" petronius May 2012 #72

I wonder how the jury would go on this if it was alerted? Tuesday Afternoon May 2012 #73

As a juror, honestly, I'd hit 'Hide' based on that line after "Update" petronius Jun 2012 #75

but, slurs against the mentally ill is NOT ok. Nut is a derogatory term and in this case it Tuesday Afternoon Jun 2012 #120

What are you going to "alert" on -- somebody posted story of CCWer who killed 5 innocent people. Hoyt Jun 2012 #96

Hoyt rails impotently at a shadowy group he calls "you guys" and attempts to associate them... slackmaster Jun 2012 #99

"You guys" and Zimmerman/Loughner. SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #101

I was wondering how long it would take you to bring SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #100

Hey, Zimmerman captures in one word what a law-abiding gun owner is like right up until they shoot Hoyt Jun 2012 #104

Wash, rinse, lather, repeat. SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #105

Accusations, again? SHOW YOUR EVIDENCE. n/t PavePusher Jun 2012 #117

the slur against the mentally ill AND the slur equating gun owner with being Mentally Ill. Tuesday Afternoon Jun 2012 #119
