NRA to Sue Arizona over Destroying Buyback Guns

So no one is allowed to have an opinion on the matter until the trial is over. Someone better get a mod to shut down the dozen threads we’ve had on the subject.

Still waiting on a cite for this, other than the insane argument that saying the shooting was justified = cheering and joy over it.

This is insane. You realize that, right?

Oh, now I get it. You’re just fucking with us.

Take it to the next step. What should we do with all these evil, guilty, gun owners who are such a menace to society? Where should we built the camps to house and re-educate them?

I say we build them a home (a little place of their own). Maybe call it something catchy, like the Fletcher Memorial Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings.

Do you post crap like this just so that you can say later that “there was actually talk about reeducation camps for gun owners in a previous thread!”?

You’re a letter of the law type of guy. So if you can pass a law that says you could, then you should right?

Look at the poster I’m addressing. He’s a nut. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he would actually agree with me.

I mean, look at what he posted. I don’t need to exaggerate it to make it ridiculous. He did that all by himself.

Yeah! Who let all this riff-raff into the room?

Fair enough, but we’re still talking about a statute that has no civil enforcement provision, which means the NRA has to raise a constitutional argument to enjoin the sheriff from buying up guns - and there isn’t one.

Apparently my Firefox “Idiot Screen” add-on needs to be updated. Thank you for the reminder.

But you exaggerated it anyway…

My “phony screen” don’t work either.

You say Zimmerman was justified, I say it was murder. He isn’t either till the trial.

As for applauding Zimmerman, one need only read between the lines of posts made here and in other sites. There was a lot of joy that an unarmed black teen was shot dead.

What to do with gun owners? Take their guns away. Once you’re disarmed, you no longer represent a threat to me.

Yes, mockery seemed to be the only appropriate response.

Still waiting for a cite for this.

I also notice that you’ve moved the goalposts from this:

“I think a lot of gun nuts here creamed their jeans when they first heard about the case.”

To this:

“here and in other sites”

So that if you get real desperate you can start roaming the internet looking for anything to hang your hat on.

Just admit you’ve got nothing.

Yes

Can you explain the mechanism the NRA is using to force people to buy guns?

Have you bought yours yet? Is there some reason it failed to work on you?

According to you, it is.

But since we cannot adopt a rule that says, “If Lobohan says it’s wise policy, then it’s good policy,” I assume you understand we need a better way to identify wise policy.

Forgive me for (maybe) hijacking the conversation out of my idle curiosity, but does American jurisprudence not have an equivalent of the concept of our “franc/euro symbolique”, which is to say giving someone one minimum_unit_of_currency so that a given transaction be legally considered a sale or financial transaction (or a given court sentence be considered damages) even though strictly speaking market values are being thrown right out the window in the given case, for the sake of X or Y ?

My sister once sold me her car for $1 so I could register it in my name. Something like that?

Yes, but we don’t have a fancy-pants name for it. Nominal damages in tort and other money damages suits are generally awarded at $1.00.

Thank you for answering my question. I am extremely skeptical of your claim. Please show me proof that the NRA is forcing everyone to buy guns.
