When Gun Nuts Write Gun Laws, Nuts have Guns
December 22, 2012 at 12:28 am
When are we going to keep crazy people and people who aren't in good standing from getting guns, period?
But hey, we have to have our guns, right?!
Never mind a properly funded police force, affordable health care, increased education funding -- we have to have cheap easy guns!

Let's accept the NRA's idea -- a totalitarian state to keep our guns is the answer.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more

Oh I forgot Mary manufactures Glocks and Bushmasters to spread her joy.
There is a huge difference between an actress and REAL DEATH. 20 kids and 6 adults, were turned into Swiss Cheese. Not to mention 32 people on average per day 365 days a year die as a result of guns.
When musicals and umbrellas kill more people than guns, then bitch about your rights.

I'm still trying to imagine what went wrong in your brain to interpret my joke the way you did.

Sorry, but I think that when you joke about something so serious, maybe what you think is an obvious reference may not be to others.
I am sorry but I did not get it. If I had, you wouldn't have responded with "huh"? So maybe better clarification would have helped on your part.
You are attempting dark humor, which I am not against, but when doing such timing and context and making it obviously clear DOES help avoid the very "huh" you are perplexed by my reaction to your "joke" about a very real event where very real kids died.
So instead of swirling your finger around your head thinking I am crazy, maybe you need to consider your delivery, otherwise I had understood it was mere humor, you wouldn't have gotten the response you did.

My joke had nothing to do with the kids. You said "rooftops" and I immediately thought of the chimney sweepers dancing on the rooftops and signing and shouting.
The joke I thought was appropriate to compensate for your emotional reply to my meme. A meme which was in the immediate context of recent threads such as this: http://atheistforums.org/thread-16255.html

TEGH, Brian is a humorless curmudgeon that has also proven himself depraved of any sense for the ironic. In fact, I prognosticate that he'll be along shortly with another tirade consisting of a non judicial use of CAPITAL LETTERS and single sentence paragraphs. I'm sure his argument will be along the lines of 'how dare you make fun of the atrocity in CT?".
For the record, I understood your joke and laughed my ass off; somewhat like the scene where they defied gravity and laughed near the ceiling. Perhaps I put too much thought into it. Bert was the 'lead' chimney sweep and he was softer and more loving towards the children than Mary Poppins.

Fucking hell. Syn starts a thread that is on a different gun related topic and does so in a tone that could possibly promote decent discussion on the topic and what do we get? Sarcasm and the fucking gun nut drama queen who has been blowing up every thread with all caps fucking appeals to emotion. Seriously, you need to calm the fuck down. It's horrible. No one here did it. You are doing absolutely fuck all by shouting it anywhere. You think your internet protests amount to fucking anything? They don't. So don't pretend like everyone who doesn't agree with you isn't helping when you are doing nothing except shitting on halfway decent discussions. Now turn off the fucking caps. It is in the fucking forum rules for fuck's sake.
I'm with you, Syn. If you're nuts, no gun. If you're a fucking criminal, no gun. If you live with someone like that, perhaps you must submit to random checks to ensure your guns are locked up. Do not take away rights. Make safety a priority. Make logic the rule rather than the exception.
