Now perhaps--if there's a brain up there in your skull-- you could, in the future, actually READ my posts before you go off on your pro-gun rant. Here's what you responded to:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I said: So they should just completely abolish all background checks and make it even easier for idiots to get guns? Don't you think it would be better to try harder to prevent criminals and the like from getting guns on the black market?
Then you said: Of course I do. I'm all for cracking down on the illegal arms trade, but I see no reason at all to deprive normal citizens of their right to bear arms, when many of them do so without incident. Now read this next line carefully because the immutable logic of it either escapes your comprehension or your notice:
BANNING LEGAL WEAPONS WILL NOT STOP SALES OF WEAPONS THAT ARE ALREADY ILLEGAL.
We clear on that? I hate repeating myself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where in that post of mine did I suggest that all guns be banned? Pay attention next time, boy.
When did I ever say you were in favor of banning guns? You must remember that I'm responding in tandem to one loony liberal and... well, whatever you happen to be. I get my lines crossed because of that. And in any case, you did suggest that banning guns would deal a deathblow to violent crime, what with your comparisons to Hong Kong, did you not?
Quote:Oh please, I don't know who you're trying to kid with that remark. You're the biggest, most extreme Republican I've ever known. Everything you say, everything you believe in, falls directly in line with what far-right conservative Republicans believe. Helping the poor is bad, the U.S. should not have good relations with the rest of the world, war is the only solution to anything, etc. Don't make me laugh, Ryan.
I believe what I believe. I happen to agree with the conservative Republican point of view. That does not make me a concrete loyalist of the Republican party, it's just that there are no Democrats out there who shares views with me more than their Republican opponent. Being conservative doesn't automatically make one Republican, nor is the opposite true, which is why I derise liberals and not Democrats. So let's not try and pigeonhole me, boy. :)
