Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Interesting GD thread worth scanning for gun related commentary [View all]
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027174258It's supposed to be about who carries a pocket knife, what they use it for, what kind it is. But it turns out to show some gun controllers with serious focus issues.
It's interesting to see the differing opinions and knives and the vast majority of posts are on topic, about what kind of knife they carry. But the inevitable handful of gun control fans insist on declaring all of them "weapons" and anyone that carries one is just a "potential killer" for carrying a "deadly weapon".
Of course, one of our rare banned posters can't resist inserting their normal "Gun Nutz" screed in a "who carries a knife" thread.
IMNSHO, It's an excellent example of how far down the rabbit hole some of them have gone. They are incapable of posting on anything they think can be twisted to their worldview without demanding others rally to their agenda.
Another argument on why even trying to discuss anything with some of them is a total waste of time.

What's odd is how someone believes having the right to self defense is a bad thing.

My "tradition" is using an 50+ yr old Schrade Walden ( maybe $3 new) for that chore.

You, sir, defend those who attack Democrats seeking reelection. Your own words demonstrate this

No hypocrisy- there is no call to defund Feinstein's reelection in there

Yeah, I did- because I knew Emken had no chance. What's your excuse for Begich?

So, far from apologizing, you choose to include others as "cowardly?" By name?

*All* gun control advocates that work against Dems should be trashed on a regular basis
