California Senate Passes Comprehensive New Gun Control Legislation

[Marengo]

31. What a flaming joke, as if you desire any discussion beyond the beatification of you positions.

Positions so contorted and contradictory as to cause me to call the authenticity of your entire persona into question. With the considerable time and effort you expend denigration gun owners, I'm left to wonder if this is an Uncle Ruckus or Elmer Fudd routine.

In post 21 you stake out a position that I believe mere gun ownership equates to fetishism. I never said that.

Oh you mean "I'd say that a devotion to "gun rights"...represents fetishism". If you own a gun, isn't that an acknowledgment that the right exists, and the practice of it a measure of devotion? How much devotion equals fetishism?

In post 24 you asked if I were willing to surrender my firearms and rights as if that were a proposal. Where did that come from?

If you don't, you must have some "devotion to gun rights", or you wouldn't possess firearms in the first place.

In post 25 you accuse me of having right wing leanings which I don't. Further you accuse me of not valuing my collection. Then you wander off into obfuscation about alternate weaponry, which I have and use because ti gives me a 30 day advance on gun season. Why do you do this if not to simply pick a fight where none should be?

You authored post # 25, so I have no idea what you are talking about. But, to that point, you own firearms don't you? To some, that's right wing, or worse. As for the hunting issue, you know certainly well firearms are not necessary for hunting, so any argument to the contrary is bullshit.

In post 28 you say you haven't said THEY ARE COMING FOR OUR GUNS!1!1!11 when the entire tone of your posts have been exactly that, suggesting I surrender mine as if anyone asked it and then saying I was simply waiting for some authority to do so.

Utter bullshit, and as I expected you have nothing. As if a voluntary surrender out of principle is somehow synonymous with legal confiscation. Having no counter argument, you resorted to suggesting I'm paranoid. More of that two dimensional agitprop you were so eager to defend in the other group (my statement was factually correct, and you know. But, the delicate flowers had their way.).

Finally, in true gun nut form, you accuse me of having no counterargument when you have not made an argument in any shape form or fashion, preferring to ascribe things to me that I haven't advocated, don't believe and are made up from whole cloth.

Oh, I think I have you figured out well enough, especially considering the company you keep. You really want to make a difference? Sell those guns you revile so much and donate that money to a control group of your choice. Otherwise, you have no credibility. "Gun nut" eh? How about you define that for me, and provide specific examples of what I've written on this board that leads to that conclusion.

For the record, I've been in the shooting sports four decades and, although I acknowledge this is an association bias, have never encountered a gun owner with your negative attitudes towards gun ownership and owners in general.

Edited to add....

Well, look at this:

3. Yes, but we all must understand that gun rights are sooooo much more important then any other

rights like the right to life.

Yours apparently are, as you value them enough to own multiple firearms.
