What do you expect when "THE GUN LOBBY" is the left's equivalent to the right's "WELFARE QUEENS"? What do you talk about when so-called "Progressives" focus on some bullshit culture-war wedge issue so they have an excuse not to work on real problems (Poverty, the Drug War, Racism). So yeah, Lets talk about how some chairforce commando thinks he's hardcore because he can do a pushup.

On a side note it's hilarious that the only thing Democrats can do is bitch about how Bernie Sanders voted against some dumb gun control law that in hindsight is universally recognized as being 100% pointless and stupid, not to mention not even preventing one crime. HOW DARE HE! HOW OUTRAGEOUS!!! Representing the interests of the proles that voted him in? THE SCANDAL!!! *Faints*

Please confirm or deny the anime avatar dude's claim that you got into guns because you saw a cool one in one of your Japanese animes.


Pitch posted:

Anyone reading Troika's posts should keep in mind that his interest in guns is entirely based on an anime he saw like three years ago. He literally just showed up in TFR on the day it started airing asking a lot of questions about he could buy the same gun that the main character has and has been insufferable about the topic ever since. If you ask him to describe his foiled muggings in any greater detail they're probably the climactic fight scene but with the magical swordfights taken out.

If you dislike gun control for whatever reason that's a different argument, but it's tiresome to hear armchair brocialists pretend that gun control "isn't progressive." It's perfectly progressive to advocate modern universally successful policy over the ancient edicts of infallible patriarchs, and to care more about removing the most effective means of violence from society than caring about the breadth of the overpriced noisemaker selection of weeping middle-class crackers. Access to guns is a real problem, and a major reason why the US murder rate is so high.

I find it interesting that those who argue that the military would confiscate guns assume the States themselves would be ok with it. Outside of CA,MA,MD,NY,NJ, IL, HI. The rest of the states (The South, PNW, Midwest and parts of the East coast)would pretty much say gently caress you to the Federal Gov't.

Neoconservatism has more to do with foreign policy than abortion so I am unsure why his views regarding the developmental stage at which a fetus becomes human matters.

And the guy has been railroaded out of TFR a few times. His account is one particularly annoying and shitpost filled front for devil's advocacy so he can enjoy nerds melting down about the waves he has made.

Re: abortion, I expressed a belief that humans start at conception. That said, I feel that banning abortion causes more problems than keeping it legal, since women are going to do it anyway, and I really don't care if they kill their unborn children. I look at it as the cost of doing business. Science hasn't determined the start of life, it just describes the process of reproduction and growth. Personhood or the question of when do we consider something a human is an abstract philosophical that science doesn't address. None of this has to do with religious beliefs.

I also caught a lot of flak for daring to suggest that to a layman Ahmed's clock looked close enough to an IED detonator or other home made explosive device to warrant action by a teacher. I never defended his arrest or the over reaction by the school authorities and police. It was fun watching the FTP crowd become reactionaries and defend a kid for being arrested for interfering with an officer (he wouldn't stop talking when the officer wanted), an incident which stemmed from the kid being told not to wear an NRA shirt by his band leader, even though the school district later determined the shirt did not violate the school's dress code.

Here, have a picture of some 34th ID soldiers with rifles and bayonets. Guess they felt that long knives are deadly enough to give the troops, in addition to the everything else.
