Your use of fonts is unreadable, so I have done you the courtesy of copying and pasting that into notepad devoid of the abhorrent formatting so that my eyes don’t explode. Also yay to Post Comment mode here which doesn’t bother to include the weird use of bolds and reds. Are you Communist? That’s a lot of red.
Since this conversation was post-factual, I made up some bullshit anti-gun laws Obama had “approved” that had no basis in truth. They don’t exist. The PHB act was a nod to Scott Adams. I was commenting upon the paranoia of the gun crowd, especially since after eight years of making policy Obama is done influencing gun concerns and hasn’t really done anything meaningful there.
I hope you are ok that things have not changed with respect to gun control.
Awesome: given that they aren’t real, the future generation will be fine here.
Let’s worry about climate change and the 1% owning most of the wealth on this planet. Those seem important.
Yes, I had pointed out that focusing on something on inane such as TRUMPCUPS was the exact kind of stupid distraction that you mention. I’m glad we’re on the same page.
Uh what? I’m pretty sure guns are not a natural thing. You want to talk about your Right To Bear Arms in terms of rocks and pointy sticks, then maybe you have a point. Otherwise we naturally extend the GOD GIVEN 2ND AMENDMENT past guns to tanks and WMDs and whatever else and oh right that’s not particularly realistic nor interesting so let’s scale it back and then we kind of get back to the filtered Right To Bear Arms that we currently have. And, sure, Slippery Slope, but then again if we’re deciding that God is involved all logical bets are off. At that point I want prima nocta because that’s how God told me it should be.
We definitely have an ability to express any concepts and say all the things. Others have an ability such that if you are a douchebag, they will indicate to you that you are such and perhaps not want to associate with you. You can certainly tell your boss that he is a fat ugly fuck who smells funny and should wash his ass more often: that is your freedom. His reaction to you is his freedom. Freedom of Speech is thus not particularly interesting on an interpersonal level or even on a commercial level: it is interesting on a **political **level, which is why it is enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
So uh. Sure? I feel like you’re talking about entirely different and uninteresting concepts. It’s cool that you believe in God: I hope that brings your life more joy and causes you to spread more love. Not particularly relevant to my conversational interests, though.
I get that you’re passionate about this, but – look into it. “Fire” in a crowded theater, etc: stuff has limits because that’s how you build a reasonable society. If you’re a sovereign citizen or whatever, that’s awesome and I wish you good luck on your compound and I hope to Starscream that you don’t actually have assholes in your group of people because you’ve thrown out the reasonable compromises our society has deemed necessary to be functional.
