Explain this to me as if I am a 5 year old.

He talks about 'discussion'. Yet he doesn't seem to come back and reply, or offer counterpoints.

Drop bomb.
Leave.
Seems to be the M.O.

In all fairness, he hasnt been online since. Heck, I had other things to do today too but got weathered out.

We will observe and hope that he returns to give his side. Mods are watching in hopes the pattern doesnt continue. I'm actually interested to hear how he squares his opinion on the matter.

Hey, at least they arent one liners anymore. I'll give him that. He is listening to us.

Yeah, my impression is this is some sort of passive aggressive insulting technique. On the other hand, iron sharpens iron. It’s good to have noobs come in and do their best to state their case. We can handle it. We might make a convert out of him.

It's not sharpening, when it's the same arguments.
A simple INGO search, or internet search, would have given him the same results.
He obviously is unwilling to bother.

This may prove to be true. We’ll find out soon enough.

My first stop isn't Google.
I prefer to ask my stupid questions, to people I'm familiar with.
Even if they do talk S***.

I don’t like golf, it should be banned. Look at the fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides that poison the land, the streams, soak down into the ground water. Surely we call agree that golfers are little more than environmental terrorists.

Sounds like one of those unfortunate military guys who is all "for me but not for thee" because special training or something.

Exactly what I was thinking. And the most dangerous people I've seen with guns are the "experts" in the military. I worked as rso for an army unit and it was scary. Second most dangerous were the other cops I worked with.

Starting off like “explain it to me like I’m 5,” doesn’t make it sound like he’s ever imagined a world in which he’s the one who’s full of ****.

Someone shoots a bunch of kids in school. His worldview: why can’t those awful gun owners agree to give up their AR-15’s? It’s their fault. They have blood on their hands!

My wotldview: the blame for the school shootings belongs on the person who did it. But also, the reason it happens so frequently isn’t because of the availability of guns. It’s that society has produced broken offspring who sees this as a way out of their broken world. My firearms have nothing to do with it.

To be fair, NOBODY uses the search function here when they have a question.

I've tried it. It either brings up a million threads, or everything NOT related.
I have found some good info with search though.

Okay. But not women’s golf.

Why on earth do you think this matters to the discussion? Being a veteran doesn't give you any particular authority or leverage.

Senator Young begs to differ…

And yet, he'll have no problem driving that 2 ton killing machine.
Cars kill WAY MORE than 'assault weapons'.

I think it's time to remind our readers that Todd Young is a Marine.

US v Miller (1939) upheld the NFA. That particular Miller was dead by the time it got to SCOTUS. Don't know if anybody showed up on Miller's behalf. Since 1939 was 21 years past the end of WW I, there would have been a lot of WW I Vets available to testify to how SBRs and SBSs were essential to "The Militia". But alas, Miller was dead so (IMHO) that has a lot to do with how we got here.

The NFA was a tax, the Hughs amendment was a ban. SCOTUS upheld the NFA on the basis that congress could tax anything it wanted to. To my knowledge there has never been a challenge of the Hughs amendment get very far if at all.

The government created it's own problem with NFA items by devaluing the currency so that by the 1970s you were paying the same for a MAC-10 and tax that you were for a Colt Python. This ushered in the "golden age" of NFA, a brief time when it looked like we were back to pre NFA days simply because $200 was not worth what it was in 1934.

The reality is, we have always drawn lines at which civilians are limited by law with regard to which weapons they may own.

No we haven't. Early on many ordinary citizens owned the same kinds of weapons of war that the military used.

Thank you, jamil! This point needs to be made far more loudly and far more often. Despite being peddled by supposed experts, and even those in the highest levels of political leadership, it is a complete, 100% myth that there were any weapons outlawed for civilian ownership in the early days of our country. Start looking for examples of gun control in our country's early days, and guess what you'll find: it's that the first gun control efforts were intended to stop blacks and Indians from owning firearms. Think about that. They understood very well back then that the first step to oppressing and enslaving someone is to disarm him.

The truth is @mrmiller21 is trying to goad members into name calling and such that will force the mods to give those members a time out like he got. He is doing it by attacking our deeply and sincerely held beliefs in a mocking but allowed way.

DO NOT TAKE HIS BAIT! Be careful not to call names or anything that might get you suspended. That us the goal of all these threads…

Did NOT see that they "Shooter" him yet??

 

[jamil]

He’s still a plinker.
