Starting to see a pattern...

Every time I'm tempted to acknowledge this stuff and provide a substantive response I see my signature and just smh.
How many errors does it take for a tweet to be a false tweet? These were not all AR15 shootings. But substance isn't important to a leftist. It's all about symbolism... facts be damned.
@Syskatine Quick! You and your comrades start gathering up all those AR15's. I'm starting to see a pattern.

Is that your response? How about, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Much more Sys-like.
Every time I'm tempted to acknowledge this stuff and provide a substantive response I see my signature and just smh.
Honest question for you. Are the protesters in Hong Kong, the ones standing up to the Chinese army, armed? Or is there gun control/gun confiscation in Hong Kong? You seem to follow this “gun control” situation more closely than I. I’m hoping you can answer my question.
The only worse than firearms in the hands of private citizens is firearms in the hands of governments.
Millions and millions served.
Millions and millions served.
That's because you can't recognize a joke. Your only sense of humor is a subset of the emotion of schadenfreude.
I do not know. It doesn't look like it, but I also saw a picture on reddit of a supposed "protestor" that was throwing something and he had a glock tucked in his waist and the caption was something like, "Aha, it's the police acting like protestors to get something started."
I assume there's no private ownership of guns in hong kong. That's a big assumption.
If next you're going to say, "well, isn't this a reason to keep guns?" In response, I want you to read my response to SRY below. He's a troll and a fool, but I'm responding to him. Second, that's a valid point to me. To a point. Not to the point people here think, but it's a point. Third, easily remedied. If I'm to choose between living in a totalitarian regime with no privacy or a third world shithole, I guess I'll take the shithole.
I'll play by YOUR rules.
Government has never pulled a trigger. Only private, individual, fingers, controlled by individual central nervous systems, pull triggers.
I’m amazed at how all those guns loaded themselves and pulled the trigger all on their own.
Your mentor, Tom Perez had you in mind when the DNC passed it's “Resolution Regarding the Religiously Unaffiliated Demographic”. What a winning strategy.
Not one private individual! It's only government!\\
All these wars -- all the oppressive governments -- no individuals have any responsibility! No individuals involved lol! Fvcking government ghosts!
You simpering, pusillanimous morons have accepted that "anti-government" anthem for 40 years and never bothered to apply basic, basic scrutiny to that talking point. I'll see every government action you can point to over the last 500 years and go all in -- individuals did it ALL. What a dumb point. At first blush, a stupid, intellectually dishonest talking point.
I want to thank you for a thoughtful reply. While I agree that “government” doesn’t pull the trigger I think the sentiment is a little too clever by half.
“Government” is not a living entity, but rather the manifestation of an idea of how societies should operate. People do what their governmental leaders tell them to do, wouldn’t you agree? Do you have any doubt that many of our fellow posters on this board, the Trump loyalists (some of them, at least) would rise up in armed fury if DJT “ordered” them to do so? Or Obama in his prime?
I ask you to read the Bryan Caplan link I posted on another thread. Sometimes “government” allows those that pull the trigger the permission to act on their worst impulses. Sometimes individuals act on their impulses on their own, resulting in the deaths of a handful of people. When governments rile up the impulses of a nation the result is the destruction of millions of people. Personally I’ll take my chances with the occasional crackpot if it means keeping my government in check.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Guns don't pull their own triggers.
"Too clever by half" is about the sum total of their arguments. The point remains if we want to generalize and start slicing culpability (eh) then the individual is at the top and bottom of any pyramid of blame.
I suppose in a way, but you have places without government that still have a society. THat definition is very flawed. It's more a manifestation of a compromise of multiple ideas, in my experience. I would submit that government is how a society engages in collective action. It is merely one type of "institution." More on this below.
Too broad. The opposite is also true if we're engaging in that broad a generalization.
Read my signature, Dan. Yes, yes, yes, I have doubt. That's why I finally put those quotes in my signature. Sometimes you can learn a lot just by listening to what someone says.
It's that way with institutions, not just one species of the institution, i.e. government. Institutions can rationalize and justify amazingly awful conduct that individuals thinking on their own would never participate in. Peer pressure and belonging are simply everything to many people. It's a function of human psychology.
Collective action can be great, it can be awful, it amplifies our best and worst, and it pushes us forward and back, it all depends on the leadership. When a collective action becomes institutionalized with its own culture, I agree that our achilles heel as a species is allowing our sense of right and wrong to be hijacked by that joint, collective morality. Part of the reason for it is individual consequence is suspended when people have institutional defenses available.
Glad you're starting to see things our way. Now, instead of gathering up AR15's, perhaps it's the individual's fault. Thanks for playing Sys.
Right??
"Being necessary to the security of a free state" isnt just window dressing, is it?
Tell us what it means, shysterkine. It's too bad there isn't a historical record of the discussions of the framers on the 2nd Amendment for us to refer to.
***defends antifa***
***proposes gun confiscation***
Definitely starting to see a pattern here.
This is typical liberal. On the list of things that hurt people, choose number 125 and wear it out because it’s scary looking.
Why don’t you liberals have the nuts to ban handguns? Do you share tweets about those patterns? Why don’t you use your skills to crunch the numbers for us?
Why don’t you start a campaign to get breathalyzers in every car? Or a device that shits down cellphones while driving?
Oh no, it’s weapons of war!! Scary!!
You've asked about this before and zher's response was... wait for it... that's nanny state stuff.
https://oklahomastate.forums.rivals...-jammed-your-phone-signal.82904/#post-1466326
Can it wait until we pull into the drive?
Ooh do handguns next!
AR’s have been around since the 50’s. Maybe it’s not the gun’s fault, hmm?
Lol ANOTHER strawman! Hannity told him that's what I think.
So much easier to argue fictional points.
Flail much? What?
You're the radical. The only explanation is that you want these mass shootings. I'll never understand it. Country after country has various laws that work and prevent this stuff. Any proposed solution results in shrill, silly, packaged talking point.
Its the government. Its video games. Its prayer. Its not enough guns, it's exactly what every other country with a fraction of these deals has done: control who gets them.
Ridding the earth of ARs and the dreaded products of the Diamond Match Company will not slow mass shootings or forest fires in the least.
Have we read More Guns-Less Crime by former sniveling liberal John Lott yet? I didn't think so.

Newsflash it’s not the laws. It’s leftist culture of attacking the church, telling men they need to be sissies, allowing anything and everything to pass for entertainment. It’s 30 years of you people sabotaging Mayberry.
Look what you people have done to black people. Will you not rest until 100% are born out of wedlock? 100% don’t have fathers? Now you idiots want to start driving the bus for white males? Leftists leave a stain everywhere they go. Real liberals got us to the modern era but now the mentally ill like you want to jump off the cultural cliff.
You want to ban scary guns that make up 2% of murders. Do you not see how stupid that sounds?

Only pattern I see is some loser shoots a bunch of people, the gun haters bitch about the 2nd amendment.
Twas ever thus.

I used to sit with Carol on her porch swing in south Lawton. At 5:30, her father came home from work, as black fathers did all up and down the block. Then we got LBJ's "War on Poverty" and the "Great Society". It wasn't that long till black fathers vanished.
Why are you worried about these issue when there are chicken sandwiches being sold by Chik-fil-a?
