No demonstrated knowledge - well, believe it or not, I used to belong to a shooting club about 20 years ago. I had a licence, gun (.22 rifle), and for a while it was a hobby, but I just ended up getting bored with it all, and lost any residual need I may have had to make things go BANG! In other words, I matured.


WOW :o
You had a .22 then outgrew silly things that go "bang"?
Gee, arent you a big boy!

I wasn't speaking of you personally that time, I was merely pointing out that you were describing a paranoid fear that you even admit isn't really rational, but when I or people like me express similar but more factual opinions, we are mocked and called paranoid.

Quote:
Anyway, the way you talk to people comes off as combative and defensive at times. It often seems like you're more interested in winning an argument than anything else. You pride yourself on reason but you show obvious signs of emotionality.


Quote:
It goes both ways. People don't want to converse with you because you come across as condescending yourself. Nobody even wants to have a rational conversation with you since you get under people's skin so much. You provoke people into attacking you often. I'm not saying they are right to attack you but it goes both ways.

You feel defensive because so many people disagree with you. The least you could do is admit the defensiveness. That would be intellectually honest at least.


As far as I know the only people boycotting me are His Partisanship and his sidekick, Eeyore, but even assuming that there are others, I'm willing to bet I'm not missing out on much intellectual stimulation. What you see as defensiveness is really exasperation and irritation due to being the best informed and most experience person here concerning a particular issue, and still having people who have no idea what they're talking about think they know better than I do, people such as yourself. It's a little like being a biologist at a creationist convention, logic and reason and facts are useless, so I've actually stopped trying to win arguments and have been pursuing more of a 'discredit and move along' strategy. It's pretty easy when the people I argue with often don't seem to know which end the bullet comes out of yet think they should have a say in legislating firearms policy, like having the Amish design highways...

Also, ad hominem


Bullcrap;

you think you know more

about 'guns' here than anyone else.

And that's all.

I can prove I know much more than you about 'guns'.

But you are not worth the time or effort, nor or guns, to make much effort..;)

Just another area of technical expertise; I gET bored of LONG LONG AGO..;)

You are transparent as your 'tough guy logo' that goes knuckle dragging nerd or whatever; in your words not mine.

This is a general area where you a Know a little bit more about something than most 'nerds' don't give a crap about;

so it is a 'perfect place' for you and 'Raptor boy' to feed your intellectual bully egos;
and before you tell me you are a big man, show me where you
are fearless enough to dance naked before the world;
the ultimate expression of manliness is not
fearing to show your real stuff;

the real gun is more impressive;

than metal ones..;)

Same reason OVERALL;
'rednecks' buy big trucks;
to compensate
for other
worries;
like being
not as BIG
AND strong as
'daddy'
is..:)

THAT'S truly the part of America
that still s**KS; IMHO;
the most ignorant
part
of all; guns or
NOT; but
guns are most
definitely a symptom
of
EQUALIZING Freudian
THAT; yeah; Lintar
knows more about
'real guns' than
both of you put
together; two..;)

Real intelligence is
emotional intelligence; the
rest is just grade school stuff..:)

Go back and do some research on these threads whydoncha....
perhaps it would help if the major agitator for change in this area(the NRA) wasn't just a puppet for the guns industry, and didn't vote against sane gun control laws.

Okay, so let's pretend that we have no constitution nor human rights in general and are all mere serfs.
Please tell us what "sane gun control" is and what the results have historically been in the US.
yah, not going to bother with your lame strawman. try again :)

After President Ronald Reagan was shot and nearly killed in 1981, he decided to carry his own gun.

"In case someone comes after me I want to be prepared," Reagan reportedly said.

"He carried it in his briefcase even when he went on Air Force One," said Brad Meltzer, author of 'The President's Shadow.'

Meltzer says that even Reagan's vice president, George Bush, did not know he was carrying the gun....

As a side note, it's usually considered bad form and a waste of time to respond to the schizophrenic hobo shouting nonsense at you, so I'm going to display a similar form of discretion here.

Hey now.

Whether you like firearms or not has little to do with maturity. It's a genuine interest for people of all walks of life.

Maturity determines how you handle firearms.
