Clearly, the best defence against a bad person with a gun in a crowded movie theatre is a good person with a gun in a crowded movie theatre. I mean, there’s no way that could end badly, is there? ---

We should pass a law requiring all bad people to wear black hats and all good people to wear white hats. That way we’ll know who to shoot. ---

> [@Esox\_Lucius](#): > > It’s the latest side-splitting homily from UpsideDownWorld. You know… > > War is peace. > > Greed is good. > > Lying is entertaining. I think it is more the entertainment of imagining that your bizarre and nonsensical world view has some sort of evidence to support it (even though deep down you know that is just crazy). It’s probably the same kind of entertainment right wingers get from watching Fox News. ---

> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > \*Somebody \*has to protect the toddlers. Gosh, just when I think you couldn’t be more of a pustule, you manage to surprise me. Did what you wrote seem clever to you? Is that your idea of “winning the thread?” I’ ll ask you again: Do you refuse to own a gun out of fear of committing murder? Have you ever wanted to kill a child? How many times in the last month did you get so angry you would have killed someone if you had had a gun? The way you continue to refuse to answer gives a distinct impression that you don’t want to incriminate yourself. I still think you are a feculent, rage-filled, misfit who attributes the absolute worst motives to others because those motives are your own and they are all you understand. I breathlessly await your next rubber/glue non-answer. One thing I do feel mildly bad about is the possibility that you actually are mentally ill or emotionally disturbed. Such damaged people shouldn’t be taunted as I have done to you. They should receive treatment. Given your propensity to rage and violence, it should be residential treatment. ---

Here, shit-heel, I’ll make you a promise: honestly answer the three questions in my previous post > [@](#): > > Do you refuse to own a gun out of fear of committing murder? Have you ever wanted to kill a child? How many times in the last month did you get so angry you would have killed someone if you had had a gun? and I will bow out of this thread permanently. Nor will I ask you those questions in any other gun-related thread. You will be free to continue your “one bad day from murder” nonsense here without me questioning you about your murderous temper again. What about it, you miserable pile of shit? ---
