Re: Guns For Everyone!: Another Mass Shooting!
Who said I was trying to make some bold statement, or "go out on a limb."
Jeebus, if people aren't capable of correctly reading posts, I wish they'd ask their guardians to read it to them.
Or maybe their mom can do it.

There is one additional person IIRC. She, I believe, doesn’t post much in the politics threads but is active in the cafe.

Good argument to limit gun ownership to two...
Re: Guns For Everyone!: Another Mass Shooting!
So you're the guy that feel's the need to throw out "All lives matter," because us whites are so forgotten. Got it.
Usually when people make the effort to go on to a message board and post something they are doing it to say something, you're now saying you went out of your way to post and say absolutely nothing.

I know Foxton is/was/has gone through some changes, but dunno if she changed her name, or even posts here anymore, and honestly, I don't really care.

Re: Guns For Everyone!: Another Mass Shooting!
Where have I ever made the "all lives matter" sort of argument, suggesting whites have been forgotten? I'd like to be reminded of that post of mine, or "posts" if you think there are more.
Every day I am thankful I was born a straight, white male. Every day. I wouldn't want to put up with the s h ! t everyone else has to deal with on a daily basis. I probably couldn't have put up with it. I'm also thankful my ancestors didn't stop moving once they hit Ellis Island, but that's another matter.
My post to Miss T was simply a statement of my belief that gender or gender transitioning is entirely irrelevant in the Colorado shooting story (except to the extent I suppose that the news reported on the court proceedings at which it was discussed). That all human beings, regardless of gender, are capable of evil, of doing bad things (reminder, I said "capable," not more "more likely").

And as I believe she pointed out, your assertion that both sides' media referenced the fact that one of the suspects was transitioning was, at best, naive. The RW site was obviously blowing their dog whistle. The regular media was not.
Not being a bigot yourself is a C for humanity. I think you can do better. Not squeezing your eyes shut when an ideological ally is one is a B; work on that.
Actively working against the bigots and sweeping them out of power is an A, if you're interested, but that means throwing your R in the trash can.

She didn't reference "sides" of the media or anything about it being naive. Her response, to you and to me both, was a statement of fact that it's been hard to make the transition and any mention of it in the media doesn't make it any easier.

She can speak for herself. Let me refine my statement: my bone with you is the below. I don't think you did it with nasty intent -- but the RW source certainly did, and the kind of false equivalence they hide behind is one of the reasons this poison keeps spreading. In my opinion.

BWaaahahahahaaaahahahaaa. So a nut with a bunch of guns is exactly as dangerous as a nut with 2 guns. Jesus, if anyone thought you actually believed this stupidity, it would be worrisome.
Hovey, one of the things that I think Kepler is trying to get across, which I also think Miss Thundercat is trying to get across (and please correct me if I'm mis-stating your thoughts) is that, because that detail is irrelevant to the story (which I think we all agree on), including in the headline is inherently inflammatory. A headline's primary purpose, after all, is not to convey information but rather to sell newspapers, or drive clicks.

Fair enough, and as I think I explained yesterday, I certainly had no nasty intent, and I certainly had no intent to compare a legitimate news outlet's account of a hearing in which a lawyer raised the issue of the gender with a rag news account trolling the transgender community. As I explained, I didn't even read the story linked to by Flag (I never do). All I saw was your objection to the headline, and responded.

.30-06 or .270 for deer hunting
12 or 20 gauge shotgun for bird hunting
.17 HMR or .22 Win Mag for small animal hunting and varmint control
Double-barrel 8 or 10 gauge for "Joe Biden tactical usage" (I disagree with Joe's call for a 12 gauge for this.)
And I haven't gotten to a handgun for recreational target shooting, or close quarters varmint control, or personal (legally done) concealed carry.

There's nothing wrong with any of that. Now, if you'd thrown in a half-dozen AR-15esque rifles "for fun/collecting/popping pumpkins with the boys", I'd be keeping my distance from you.

Re: Guns For Everyone!: Another Mass Shooting!
There's nothing wrong with that either as long as you do it safely and keep them locked up when not in use...the people I keep my distance from are the ones that have the "2A SOLUSHUZ!!!!!" reaction because they don't like Obamacare.
AR's are also used for small game and varmit control (at least here in IN).
