It’s never too soon to teach “responsible gun ownership”. Kids need to learn the basic rules of the law-abidin’ gun owner: you don’t point a gun at another kid unless you intend to shoot him, and you don’t blow another kid’s head off unless he’s asking for it by being a meanie. With luck, any surviving kids will grow up – perhaps with a few bullet holes in them – to be responsible gun-totin’ adults, the way God intended. ---

Yup. Hang the ones that get it wrong. Reward the ones that shoot the bad guys. Sounds perfect. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Lucy has found an AHunter3 blog post, [hit peak troll](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20809303&postcount=113). Look, **Luciano700** , you should do what many of us did back in the day. Join and lurk for a couple of years. We listened (and learned a lot from people who are smarter than we’ll ever be). Only then did we start posting. In my case, I think I posted ten times in my first decade. But I learned so much. But I’m betting that “Listen, don’t talk” is pretty much impossible for someone at your level of maturity. The problem is, you don’t advance past that level without listening. (And I’m betting you won’t sign out so that you can just read for a while, and you’ll start posting to justify _why_ you need to post… sigh) ---

But apparently he is interested only in threads that he himself starts–note that he says “I have finally found a thread that appeals me”, as if that is the first per-existing thread on the forum that he cared about. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > But apparently he is interested only in threads that he himself starts–note that he says “I have finally found a thread that appeals me”, as if that is the first per-existing thread on the forum that he cared about. I love the introductory line “I will give my summary with feminism in this incoming post you are about to read…” . You can practically hear him clearing his throat and inflating the lung sacs in preparation for the Great Oration. Dude certainly has an inflated sense of self-importance. Sadly, he was wrong there. That was not a post I was “about to read”. It was a post that I clicked away from with a chuckle. I don’t really see any special advantage in putting him on “ignore” but maybe I should. I’ve certainly never read anything useful from him. He’s been told to shut up, read more, think more, and post less, and his response is to argue. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Also, diversity. > > (That needs to become a new one-liner.) Ever since I first read that post the “Also, diversity” line has been nagging at me–I remembered seeing some character use a similar short nonsensical non-sequitur from someone attempting (but failing) to sound intelligent before–and finally I figured it out–[The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started A Conversation With at a Party](https://www.google.com/search?q=The+Girl+You+Wish+You+Hadn%27t+Started+A+Conversation+With+at+a+Party&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1) from SNL’s Weekend Update. ---
