So sick of gun threads

Forgive me for stating the bleedin' obvious, but in this crazy world there are so many issues that are far more important than whether or not a person can have guns to play with.  Can't we try discussing something that is actually important for a change?

 

Can't we discuss the UK bedroom tax, or the erosion of disability living allowance?  OK, if discussing politics from outside the USA is a step too far, what about the issue of tax-exempt status for churches?  Anything but that boring, emotive, ridiculous subject of guns.

Trolls:
They cannot live without trolling.
Normal people, on the other hand, can choose when to respond and when to ignore.

Then ignore them. It is just like when you don't like something on the television, you change the channel. Easy.

you raise a good point. the ignore function isn't working since the switch to the new software.

 

the posting of threads here has always been that way. remember when every other thread was about zimmerman and treyvon? and of course election threads dominated the forum for many months.

 

a new hot button issue will emerge and dominate the forum soon enough, if the past is prologue.

I'll give up my gun threads when they pry them from my cold dead heads.

Very nice!!! I used to have a Winchester Garand and Winchester M1 carbine as well as an O3A3 and a O3A4. Very cool rifles. I'd love to find a RockOla carbine just because. Did have a Singer though.

By the way, I do think the disabled should be allowed to live, that's fine with me.  I know the europeans are big on abortion and euthanasia and eugenics in general, but I say, let 'em live.  Shoot, I believe in giving the homeless free shopping carts.

since most of the gun threads are basically the same topic over and over, i wouldn't mind seeing them merged in one big mega-thread, in order to unclutter the forum and allow room for the other topics.

Re: So sick of gun threads

Well, this thread is going better than I expected.  Of course, nobody has actually addressed the point I made, but I didn't really expect that to happen immediately.

 

I understand that there are people who are very upset at the thought of gun control - but is it perhaps just possible that there are other issues in the world?  Maybe some of the other possible issues might actually be more important?  No?

If you want to kill something, you may use a gun.

That's all guns are made for.

Re: So sick of gun threads

what is that gun model where the victim flies 2 yards backward at impact, clashes on the wall and sliders down to the floor, the hole in his chest is huge, or his face is total mincemeat?



I need one like that by tomorrow
