It’s actually more about the price that everyone else has to pay because you are constantly shitting in yours. We did water fluoridation as a public health solution. Perhaps we could do water antianxiety medication too. ---

Kable, if I start a “Stupid Drunk Driving News of the Day” thread, do you promise to drop by with semi-coherent responses you think are a defense of alcohol and vehicle rights? ---

I won’t promise but maybe. Do it and you’ll see. ---

Kable arguments have been remarkably unimpressive. His primary two methods are YouTube videos, (which no one watches [and which I have often responded to by posting more boring YouTube videos for him to ‘not’ view just to prove the point]) and repeated assertions that any new gun safety laws are only one tiny baby-step away from disarming the whole population. His latest comments that “gun grabbers (are) cumming in (their) pants” over gun related news stories are just further examples of how to not make a persuasive argument. Reasonable conversations cannot be had with unreasonable people. Frankly, he seems like exactly the kind of guy who would need a second look when applying for the purchase of a gun. ---

Somebody definitely should do that, take that second look. Maybe you. Not me, I used to take a whole lot of drugs, and might have a flashback or something. You’ve got a very mature and responsible user name, I vote you! ---

You’ve got a very mature and responsible user name, I vote you! Heck guys I’m a CCW carrier and I own a number of class 3 weapons. I’ve passed a number of looks. Sorry to disappoint. ---

Not the term so much as the nearly universal applicability. Which appears to be anyone who disagrees with you on any point of gun control whatsoever. ---

I like the term “gun grabber”. It instantly identifies anyone using it as a target for mockery, guaranteed to provide endless entertainment with minimum effort. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > I like the term “gun grabber”. It instantly identifies anyone using it as a target for mockery, guaranteed to provide endless entertainment with minimum effort. I’d comment to agree, but I often use the term “gun stroker” which I do recognize is itself juvenile and stupid. It’s just that so many do seem to like their guns in an unnatural way. ---

It’s just that so many do seem to like their guns in an unnatural way. Hentor, I think you said you said once that you actually liked shooting guns and would like to shoot an AR15. So how come you don’t have one? Are you afraid you will shoot yourself, of your significant other might shoot you, or are firearms outside your budget? ---

So there must be some other reason you don’t didn’t get one. Some negative I have to think. What is it? Maybe you can’t pass the background check?
