NPR: I don't think that you can expect to have civil conversation with anybody... that's got a gun

Do you mean paronomasia? :?
My dictionary sure does get a workout due to these forums. :cuss:
I'm sure he did ... hence my response of "o"... ;)
Sure did that - tired fingers to blame - speed does not equate to accuracy.

It is pun though, isn't it.

Wanna try that again Donkey... or continue being a Neocom tool?

Donkey is a Democrat and he doesn't hide it, and he's trying to have a level-headed discussion. Instead he gets a bunch of insults and verbal abuse.

This is the ugly side of our "Internet Face".

Donkey is what V. Lenin termed a 'Useful Idiot'. Donkey is an appeaser and apologist for obvious socialist disinformation and agitation propaganda attempts based on his Voters card. If Donkey actually ascribes to the current party ideology, he is a Marxist.... a 'Neocom' (new communist). If he's been insulted... GOOD! Once upon a time I was heavily engaged in the business of killingcommunists in the national interest.I had no qualms about that either. I highly doubt that I'm alone in not offering any apologies.

I'm to the right of Attila and I don't 'hide it' either.

It's been my experience, so far, that when a gun owner enters into a conversation with an anti-gun person, and begins presenting indisputable facts, the anti's loose any sense of civility. They resort to name calling and insult slinging.

hmmm........ Maybe their idea of a civil discussion IS "name calling and insult slinging".

Doubtful. Perhaps their definition of a civil conversation in that they talk and we listen and agree. Pisses them off to no end, when we don't follow those rules. :lol:

So, I'd have to agree with that guys statement that,anti's can't have a civil conversation with someone with a gun, becauseanti's can't maintain civility around gun owners.

Tit for Tat! Besides... the best defense is a good offense. Polite aquiecese isn't one of my strong points. Do that 'n they'll blind-side you w/o a blink.

There is no common ground for the conversation. You are talking FACTS, Anti's are talking FEELINGS.

Oh! Time to make common ground then.

I noticed the large blank space in your thought process. Don't over medicate, that should help. :)

Besides, you are so easy to off end.

So, what ou're saying is, that in order for the anti's to defend their position they have to offend the crap out of the opposition?

<headslap to forhead> Why, that makes total sense! Doesn't work worth a darn, but makes sense, in a sick, twisted, demented sort of way. :uhoh:

Considering that SR brags about offending his opposition, one wonders...
