Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

[HisArpy]

Yes, thanks for this request. I will gladly explain my statement that the right wing in the USA has accelerated both gun proliferation and gun obsession in this country.

This is a trend that has been taking place for over two decades, ever since the 1994 Clinton ban on high capacity semi automatic rifles lapsed in 2024 and was not renewed.

Since then, relatively unfettered access to all sorts of guns and high capacity magazines has proliferated in the USA, as well as a loosening of laws and enforcement of laws related to access to weapons and ammo that had historically been mostly used in military and law enforcement domains. Gun sales boomed, as did the incidence of gun-related homicides and suicides.

Republicans consistently blocked attempts by Democrats to moderate this trend, and a culture of gun obsession developed within right-wing politics. It became a key part of the GOP political base. The USA now has more privately owned guns and more gun related violence than any other developed nation in the world.

Gun violence is now the number two cause of death for children in the USA, thus qualifying it for epidemic status.

You can nitpick over various details, as gun-obsessed people tend to do, but the trend is obvious-- the USA leads the world in gun-related violence.

When you make such blatant and wrong statements, it reduces the rest of your ideas moot and senseless.


FACT: In the early days of this nation, most people owned guns. Plural, as in more than one. Why? Because guns are not only a means of getting food, but are also a useful tool for self defense. So useful in fact that when Britain decided that we had too much freedom, guns were the number one reason that we are free subjects who have Rights enshrined in our national Constitution. Rights which allow you to CHOOSE the lifestyle you wish, whether it be with or without a gun in your household.

After the sunset of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 2004, Blue States began to enact ever more stringent anti-gun laws. Everything from waiting periods to magazine capacity to requiring background checks to buy ammo. Those FACTS disprove your statement that gun laws have been loosened.

In summation; you have no true idea of the subject you wax so ineloquently upon. That you can do so is because others have stood up, with guns, to defend your Rights.

And this is how you treat them; with slurs, derogatory remarks, ingratitude, and scorn.

Yes Harpy, I expected you to deny that gun proliferation, gun obsession, and gun violence have accelerated in the USA since 2004, so from your persoective, we should all be grateful to the GOP for that.

But please stop furiously waving your hand in front of my face. Thanks in advance.

Get fucked you idiot. All I did was show you that you're an ingrate with a false understanding of guns and society.

You don't have to like it, but at least have the grace and decorum to SHUT THE FUCK UP about a subject you know almost nothing about except what you've been programed to spew.

You sound unhinged. Again.

Perhaps you should let someone who is a less emotionally disturbed respond.

And, once again, I decline to follow your demand (the one in CAPS).

 

[coati]

All triggers. All the time.

Gun proliferation, gun obsession, and gun violence have not accelerated. Nor has the chronic din of activists trying to eliminate them.
What we never seem to hear is where the gun came from? Who was responsible for it. Did it even have a serial number? Who claims it as their weapon. There is no database of this information for a reason. Notice how your phone number and IP Address can be used against you?
However, in these cases of mass murder and assassination by the mentally challenged the serial number can identify where the gun was sold. Did the seller sell the gun to the mentally challenged? Or did the pansy take the gun from his parents home? When? Can only speculate this idiot didn't run out and buy a gun just to shoot Charlie Kirk. He likely grew up normal hunting and shooting with family. No one in my family is unfamiliar with guns. Its a safety thing even if one of my sisters thinks shooting bambi is bad. She still likes venison.
I honor the Constitution as the protector of freedom. While I am grateful to the GOP, I still fear the domocrat party is the full of hate and only has ideas for destruction of everything American's hold dear. I have not seen or heard an idea come from the democratic party that was not a way for them to hold money for themselves or limit freedom. The only other thing we seem to hear from democrats is the likes of you attempting to place blame where it does not belong.

Thanks for responding without obscenities and shouting in all caps.

Less emotionally disturbed? dudly all you are is emotionally disturbed.

And it's not a "demand" because I have no power to force you to comply. It is, however, a suggestion you should consider since your voice is one of the minority and your ideology insists that the majority is ALWAYS right.

Not that you're going to. You're too invested in being an asshole in public to consider any other course of action.

You sound a bit defensive.

I still think we can manage to talk without swearing and habitually resorting to CAPS.

 

[coati]

Poor widdle pussy.

You still sound upset. Perhaps Wat can give you a like and make you feel a little better.

 

[Rightguide]

It actually means laugh out loud.

Acronyms can be tough for some.

The truth is it stands for Liberals Outrageously Lying.

No, it stands for laugh out loud. I know because I used it with that definition in mind.

But keep trying to be witty. It will work some day.

I'm not the one on the ropes hoping for the bell to ring.

As to swearing, this is Lit. You know, a place where that's allowed. If you can't handle it, because you're too much of a pussy, then you should GTFO.

Caps are a normal way to emphasize what is posted on social media. If you can't handle that either, then you don't belong online at all.

He is irritated because you never make a valid point. Nor do you have anything new to say that hasn't been said. Its old. Get over it and bring something constructive to the conversation.

Are you jealous that you don't get likes from Wat?

I'm actually just irritating. Which is why some people say...

You're deliverering a master class in trolling dumbshit human beings. Bravo.

Yes, congratulations are in order for you both being admitted trolls.

I'm sure you're proud of it, what with being trolls and all.

Just trying to bring more civility to what Governor Cox called the "cancer" of social media. Sorry if you do not agree to tone down the rhetoric.

You and Wat are free to act like adolescent schoolboys and call other posters "pussies".

I made some points that you did not agree with. That's OK.

Kudos to PersonalFavors for controlling his emotions. Thanks to Wat for hosting this lively discussion.

A Rapey meltdown in tWat's ammosexual thread?

Goddamn, Christmas came early this year.
