"Just seems a little tasteless..." ellisonz Jan 2012 #1

Tasteless. Oh you mean like the Brady bunch using an MLK image to solicit donations today? DonP Jan 2012 #7

I checked the BC site, and you are correct. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #12

Dr. King (like Eleanor Roosevelt) sought a concealed-carry permit. Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2012 #15

You think MLK was opposed to gun control? ellisonz Jan 2012 #22

Why would you think he opposed them, since he owned guns and applied for a Concealed Carry Permit? DonP Jan 2012 #25

Not the same thing. ellisonz Jan 2012 #26

Then why did he own and choose to defend himself with guns? His own and others? DonP Jan 2012 #29

He would not favor the current madness. n/t ellisonz Jan 2012 #43

Try this on for size.. X_Digger Jan 2012 #33

Now you're slandering him too! DonP Jan 2012 #37

I don't disagree with that. ellisonz Jan 2012 #44

Do you think he would agree with DC & Chicago's ban on handgun ownership? X_Digger Jan 2012 #49

No. ellisonz Jan 2012 #57

I think you'll have to find something more than your supposition to support that.. X_Digger Jan 2012 #58

I'm not playing games. ellisonz Jan 2012 #59

Dr. King was not a pacifist, but endorsed non-violence in the context of political change X_Digger Jan 2012 #60

Never said he was...but he certainly wasn't a militarist. n/t ellisonz Jan 2012 #61

Remember, this sub-thread started with you saying.. X_Digger Jan 2012 #62

Posting truth and historical fact is now "twisting his legacy"? Wow..... n/t PavePusher Jan 2012 #70

I know this may be a surprise... ellisonz Jan 2012 #72

Did you not actually READ post 33? PavePusher Jan 2012 #69

Yeah but not with an arsenal... ellisonz Jan 2012 #71

So, define "arsenal" as you relate it to private weapons ownership. PavePusher Jan 2012 #73

I think I made my point. n/t ellisonz Jan 2012 #74

Not really and you keep misusing the word DonP Jan 2012 #75

"Let me guess, you're not going to the SHOT show this week?" ellisonz Jan 2012 #76

Why *not* go? Think of it as opposition research. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #77

Ha... ellisonz Jan 2012 #78

Attitudes like yours have helped to make gun control the success it is today. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #79

I won't... ellisonz Jan 2012 #80

I'm glad of that. Unswerving dedication to a course of action is rare these days. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #84

No, you haven't. Please tell me what your definition is... PavePusher Jan 2012 #81

Again with the obsession... ellisonz Jan 2012 #82

..for clear communication? Yes. That's one of the principles of this site. n/t PavePusher Jan 2012 #83

Accusations of slander? From you? PavePusher Jan 2012 #68

On MLK day? Sheesh. nt rrneck Jan 2012 #2

It does seem rather tasteless, though not as much as... Euromutt Jan 2012 #3

Wish I could be there and get my name in the pot. ileus Jan 2012 #4

The so-called VCDL works hand-in-hand with the Young Republicans. Hoyt Jan 2012 #5

It does tell me something about them: They need more Democrats! friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #6

I think the vast majority of Democrats are not for more and more guns in public. Hoyt Jan 2012 #9

You are allowed to think that. ManiacJoe Jan 2012 #39

Haven't joined, but I am a member of their FB group. ileus Jan 2012 #17

"So called"? Do you mean that's not their real name? DonP Jan 2012 #8

There are not many, that is right. Hoyt Jan 2012 #10

That's not the question. I asked about proof. DonP Jan 2012 #11

One would hope that you are more polite with your guns than with your words. Starboard Tack Jan 2012 #18

How "rude" of me to ask for proof DonP Jan 2012 #27

Sorry, a poster who has admitted to "making things up to make a point" ... DonP Jan 2012 #31

You're not sorry. You are now calling him a liar. Starboard Tack Jan 2012 #34

He's admitted to lying - that's why I called him a liar, get it? DonP Jan 2012 #35

"I lay awake nights worrying about what gun control supporters" ellisonz Jan 2012 #45

That doesn't even make sense for you. Get some rest, you obviously need to calm down. DonP Jan 2012 #54

It's their real name, but let's be honest -- they are just promoting guns in public. Hoyt Jan 2012 #13

Many anti-rights folks... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jan 2012 #19

Hanoi Jane? What's that got to do with guns in public? Hoyt Jan 2012 #23
