Mass Shooting in Atlanta

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I mean, Jesus

Watching rubbish like this is the equivalent of having a lobotomy.

 

[OHvol40]

can't speak to the intent but it calling it a slogan ignores the significant number of changes to laws and actions taken including mass incarceration (actions led by our current POTUS) that have destroyed lives and generations

it was sustained policy through many administrations with distinct action plans

I agree for the most part. My contention is that there was no real intent except to gain political capital. It either wasn’t well thought out, and if it was thought out it was downright evil.

You haven't hit her with Civil War trivia yet so there's still a chance.

There is a secret requirement for 'Dads' to get big into WWII/Civil War history I swear...

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

It was a well-funded slogan, with no real intent of doing good. The CIA was facilitating drugs coming in and the police were arresting the users. It was a front to make it look like politicians were actually doing something good.

This right here is what kills me about you. You know all this, yet you support disarming the population.

When did I support that? Seems like an assumption on your part.

Do you support the private ownership of AR-15 rifles as well as the private sale of the same?

 

[Orangeslice13]

the background checks are a sham anyway. Ya'll know it. Like you haven't heard of this scenario:
-

Red MAGA hat guy: "excuse me sir, could I please take a look at that rifle up there on display. My wife is really interested in it." (wink, wink, nod, nod, fart?)

Clerk: "Sure, its a really nice AR15, check it out. Your wife would really like it I think"

MAGA hat guy: "Ok, I'll....err... I mean she'll take it"

Clerk: "Ok great. Just have to have your wife fill out the paperwork. Simple background check and stuff, your wife won't have no problem. (wink, wink)"

MAGA hat guy: "Honey.... come sign for this!"

You’ve never bought a gun

 

[Wireless1]

I "get it." I'm the one being honest here. What I described happens and happens a lot, you know it and I know it. Why lie to yourself about that?

I really don't sense you are a good ol boy, if so you'd know that's not the case. Most good ol boys follow the rules, what you described was a violation of the law with both parties in on it. I don't frequent gun dealers but I have several friends that do, and in today's environment everyone is afraid of loosing the right to their arms and businesses. Your event might happen in Chicago or Memphis but not around here.

Hmmmmmmmm... does EL have a new alt account....

Yeah, that’s called a felony.

 

[Orangeslice13]

She's lying

You've never bought a gun have you? Usually
becomes obvious in these discussions

That’s what I said

yah I'm not a "good ol boy" that is true

maybe everyone here is right, maybe every gun purchase follows the rules to a T. There would never be any fraud in this country

Thing is, if the gun store doesn’t follow those rules to the letter, it’s their license and livelihood on the line. Along with a lengthy prison sentence.

I get your point but they said the same thing about Enron too.

 

[Wireless1]

Because they dont get caught very much, especially in certain states. They weigh the risks/rewards just like every human being and every business owner

Exactly, and it shows you don't know what you're talking about because that gun dealer today can legally sell that gun....today..... the demand is currently exceeding supply so why risk your FFL

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I’m probably more skeptical about the system than you. However there are few things with more regulations than guns.

 

[OHvol40]

Do you support the private ownership of AR-15 rifles as well as the private sale of the same?

Sure, unless facts bear out they are a severe detriment... which I haven’t seen such facts to this point.

so what is wrong or should be illegal with this scenario exactly?

 

[Tastylicks]

I think it depends on the specific market, but yeah that makes sense

Good on you then. I had you wrong. My mistake.

 

[Tastylicks]

Good question, I dont know actually. But if you see everyone else here doesn't think it EVER happens anyway

 

[LouderVol]

Is that a new record for efficiency of turn off?

Oh hell no. I have been rejected without even asking the girl out.

Why are you insisting on riding this straw man to the ground? Do you want some kind of probability prize? Somebody, from SC interestingly enough IIRC, had a 1.5 billion dollar lottery ticket so...feces happens. The "wink wink" example given is already contextually a crime so what exactly do you think this line of thought is accomplishing even if people accept the "feces happens" line you're throwing?

Idk. good point. nothing on this website matters and I'm like 10,000 posts away from catching up to the number of useless posts you've made too then

or you know we could just be some adults chatting
