You cannot make this stuff up.
Yeah, but you cut off the most insane part:
Just... wow. Gun nuts will never do anything against other gun nuts I guess.
Can we stop with the penis thing for every damn issue already
Why are people who want to ban guns so weirdly sexual about it?
They are merely recognizing that "gun enthusiasm" is a fetish to the enthusiasts.
Well, it's weird and gross. It also pushes away anyone that owns guns and would be willing to compromise
"As a responsible gun owner I wanted common sense gun legislation, but then someone compared my hobby to a sexual fetish, and now I think convicted domestic abusers have a right to own an AR-15"
lol
Put words in my mouth more, daddy.
Then keep wondering why no legislation gets passed even though 68% of the US supports stricter gun laws, me included.
Funny, those look like completely different words with different meanings than what I said
This could be the most hamfisted bit of manipulation and tone policing I've ever seen.
"We were just about to compromise after 25 years of spitting on children for not being pro-gun enough after their school shooting, but then I wasn't allowed to tone police a comment that quoted two legal gun owners flirting over the upcoming murder of a vulnerable person, so instead I'm going to align myself with domestic abusers, murderers and extremists".
You should be thankful you're not being called far, far worse things.
Gunowners aren't a monolith, and treating them as such is a great way to alienate potential allies
But by all means, keep spitting on gunowners for 25 years, that'll make a difference.
I've got a neat concept for you that you might have never heard of, it's called "compromise". It's where both sides of a negotiation get some, but not all of what they want.
Then maybe after that, we could get the pedophiles to write the statutory rape laws, because after all, they're the experts.
I don't know.
