sarisataka: It is sad and disturbing That some minds are so fixated on weapons and violence that they can turn the most innocuous statement into something sinister.

You mean like hack & oneshooter?:

hack89 (31,591 posts) 193 I keep forgetting that to you weapons are magic talismans capable of turning the mildest man into a serial killer.
oneshooter (7,453 posts) 194. I am just pushing the anti self defense peoples meme. If you carry a weapon, you are a killer in waiting.


Can you copy & paste where what you say occurred by a gun control advocate?

sarisatak: It does help explain the religious zealousness to doctrine over facts and the bigoted demonizing of every gun owner. The obsessive fear overrides rationality.

Actually sarisataka, I went thru the entire thread & didn't see any bigoted demonizing of every gun owner. I think you're making this all up, cuddling up to donP. Here are the only two gun control advocates I recognized, and what they had to say:

hoyt: 178. Pocket knives aren't likely used to embolden people like Zman, Loughner, racists, etc. We need to confiscate gunz and replace with a 3" pocket knife, even if gun fanciers whine like babies.
214. I'm going to depend on you law-abiding gun owners to do the right thing, no matter what Cliven Bundy, Teddy Nugent, the NRA, George Zman, the little voices that tell you need 4 gun safes chocked full of weapons to enjoy live, etc., tell you.
Paladin (13,085 posts) 204. No surprise to see our DU Gun Enthusiasts claiming to carry multiple knives. No surprise whatsoever......
Paladin 225. Carrying one knife keeps things in the "tool" category. Carrying multiple knives amounts to wishful thinking.


Is that bigoted demonizing of gun owners? Hardly. As much 'demonizing' came from innocuous knife guys on the thread.
Oh, did you see my previous post, sarisataka? where it's obvious donP was posting a gigantic con job demonizing 'gun control fans'? are you defending him?

Travis: I am amazed at people that are think all those knives are weapons

You do realize travis, that the predominance of those who thought that knives were weapons, were pro gun enthusiasts? most knife guys called them tools.
In fact, it was gun enthusiasts who tried to turn the thread into a 'deadly weapon' theme.
