The mole...

I'm sure you know about the mole (or moles) who have infiltrated your "closed" or "secret" groups. 

Given my opinion for reading your comments and the fact that you THINK I have no idea of what your arguments against gun control might be.

Wouldn't it be a lark to find out I'm actually the mole: spewing the rubbish that you believe at you knowing all the time that it is sheer bollocks. 

Got that:

SHEER BOLLOCKS

You're thinking you're so smart, while I'm having a laugh at you chasing your tails and proving what I have been saying all along: you're a bunch of idiots who couldn't tell your arses from a hole in the ground.

Seriously, you can't handle a computer--what makes you think you can handle a gun?

Then again, if I were a superhacker: I'd turn your pages into Teletubby fan sites with a heavy emphasis on Tinky-Winky.

Now, go play with your purple purses and stop pouting.

Not Our Words

The victims of gun violence spout "pro-gun" cliches:

The Pro-Gunner's Guide to Derping (not that you really need it)

Repeating lies does not make them true

Let's start with

Guns save lives 

Seriously? What concrete proof do you have for this statement?  Looking at the news, there are far more examples of guns doing what weapons do, which is kill or cause serious bodily injury.

I'm open to proof that guns save lives, but right now there is precious little proof this statement is anything but BULLSHIT.

The US doesn't have a gun problem--it has a mental illness problem/crime problem/texting problem

Again, give me a break.  Are you telling me that other countries don't have these issues as well?  Guess what? they do, but they don't have the gun problem the US has.

Guns are inanimate objects/tools

Yes, they are.  Although, calling them tools is a bit disingenuous since they are actually weapons and as such have the purpose of killing or causing serious bodily injury.  That's why there is a big difference between hammers, swimming pools, cars and all those other false analogies to firearms.

Firearms are weapons.

Anyway, we are seeing loads of empirical evidence to the fact that the US has a serious gun problem, but people are in denial and coming up with all sorts of piss poor reasons for doing nothing about the problem.

Denial ain't a river in Africa, but the US sure is deep in it.

Or is that shit creek?

You should believe what we believe because...

 

I'm sorry, but I have heard your "arguments" before and find them highly unpersuasive.

I prefer intelligence to ignorance and well documented to "just 'cos".

Where gunloons get their arguments....

What a stupid comment...

Anonymous sez in response to my Merchants of Death post

Gun manufacturers a part of the problem,,,, REALLY??!?

Thats a really large leap into logic that makes no REAL sense. How can they be a part of the problem. They make a product, knowing full well that they will fall into the wrong hands at times...

Put the blame where it belongs. On the CRIMINAL!

Did anonymous out his thinking cap on before writing that cogent thought? If he did, then he needs to return it as defective.

Thanks for helping to make our point anonymous!

And being stupid enough to have failed to read, or failed to understand if he did read, the original post (but given anonymous's spelling and grammar, that's probably the case):

it is easy for gun manufacturers to identify those dealers who may be acting unethically by profiting from the illegal gun trade. However, when gun manufacturer Smith and Wesson sought to establish a code of conduct for the dealers it did business with, the CEO Ed Schultz and the company were vilified by the NRA and fellow gun manufacturers, leading Schultz to resign and the company to abandon its attempt to enforce a code of conduct. Former gun industry lawyer Robert Ricker likewise has noted that the firearms industry is well aware of the diversion of gun to the illegal market and yet has vigorously closed ranks in its attempt to distance itself from any accountability, knowledge or involvement in that market.

In Feb 2003, Ricker made a sworn affidavit which read in part: “The firearms industry … has long known that the diversion of firearms from legal channels of commerce to the illegal black market … occurs principally at the distributor/dealer level … However … leaders in the industry have consistently resisted taking constructive voluntary action to prevent firearms from ending up in the illegal gun market and have sought to silence others in the industry who have advocated reform”.

If we are getting down on criminals, anonymous, then the Merchants of Death
need to be criminally liable for their actions.

Confusing the already befuddled

If it's a civic right, it's still an individual right since it is a right that is enforcable by individuals.

GOT THAT?

NOW WHAT DO YOU SAY?

WTF is the point you are trying to make?
