Amazing. When I said "go ahead, spin that" it was rhetorical snark. I didn't mean for you to actually try it.
I don't want to alarm you but you're getting into Windbag territory now...
Be careful or you'll intimate mothers somewhere...
Oh, I've been intimate with mothers... not half bad actually
Please cite the law that says gun owners cannot gather in the manner they did.
We just did this. Please see 955.
Spoon, you're not listening. You're still trying to make this into legal terms.
This is not a thread about what the law is or who broke it or didn't break it. It's about psychological tactics. The law is not at issue.
Nor did anyone say they "shouldn't be allowed to congregate". That would be law yet again. Leave all that behind. It's not a discussion of laws; more a discussion of ethics. That's why we have differences of opinion -- the law is clear, you either break it or you don't. In ethics it's not cast in stone. All we can do here is offer views.
OK, this should finish the thread. There is NO law against what they did. They did not threaten, they were peaceful. All they did was show up and get their pictures taken.
And YOU are Mammy from Gone with the Wind spouting from the upstairs window, 'It ain't fittin', it ain't fittin', it ain't fittin.'
Carry on Mammy. This argument of yours isn't an argument, it's an ultimatum. It's juvenile. AND it's boring.
Intense is going to burn in hellfire.
Intense is burning.
And a gun is just a hunk of steel, By itself, it is no more dangerous than cow feathers.
I never knew you could shoot people with black leather. Let alone baseball bats.
Hm - baseball just got a lot more interesting.
I'm a biker. You probably wouldn't understand the looks you get from people when a couple guys in leather pull up next to a car on the road. Doors get locked, eyes straight ahead. The kids turn to look and dad tells them to look away... I know about unfair perceptions. These guys showed up with guns. BFD Guns and motorcycles are no more than pieces of metal. If they intimidate you, you really should seek help. Perhaps anti-anxiety medication would work for you.
Au contraire. I DO know those looks and those reactions.
But the fact remains, leather doesn't shoot people. A baseball bat could be used as a weapon -- but not from a distance.
Intense doesn't uphold the first amendment.

If you could prove the men came with an intent to cause harm, THEN you might have a case, but in this instance, no matter how you feel about guns, showing up armed was no more or no less intimidating than four women with the opposite point of view regarding firearms. No more and no less ethical or no more or no less unsettling. It is what it is.
The controversy here is how the protests were presented in the OP. The OP was spin; a lie to paint 18 people (not 40) in an unflattering light with false rhetoric and a misleading photo where not a single person changed hats.

Ernie, that's in no way a reference to you. Earlier I told Spoonman how this thread isn't about a question of laws but about ethics, which Koshergrrrrrr morphed into "unethical". Then even after I post the definitions for both, she continues to pretend they're the same thing. Windbag tried that too, but then that's Windbag.
That's when I needed you here, Ernie -- to tell them both they're full of shit.
Actually it's not too late...
Lemme show you what went down at the same time elsewhere...
No please, go ahead... spin that one.
She said she didn't. And then she said she would. No hypocrisy there, that I see. You on the other hand, have been writing for others for the last 3 days and aren't near as honest about it.
Amazing. When I said "go ahead, spin that" it was rhetorical snark. I didn't mean for you to actually try it.

I'm sure the NRA is digging it all....all we can hope for is a Sandyhook at the gunshow....
ah yes, a liberal douchebag would hope for something like that
Nice broad brush, Spoon.
NOBODY would hope for something like that.

Reread what she said. She said she hadn't put words in your mouth. You made the unsubstantiated claim which still hangs there on your to do list. THEN she said that she was at least as capable of mis stating your position as you seem to be with hers. It was very plain language, no spin at all.
I would like to know what I did exactly to receive this little gem...
Hmmm?
Do you read English ASSHOLE?? You know EXACTLY what the fuck you did.
48 hours. See you Saturday night. If you still exist by then.
That right there ^^ is an infraction around here Kroyd. And my mom is dead, ASSHOLE.
TAKE THAT DOWN. NOW.
What? I thought ad hominem was the local currency???
YOU should be gang negged until you turn red. ASSHOLE.

And you are impersonating a moderator.
Yes what he did was wrong, but you report it, don't assume you have authority and post in all red.
