    You’ve made it clear the reason you have a hard on for these people being punished is that they gun owners and you don’t like gun owners. I’m just holding the mirror up and you don’t like what you see.

      “Gun owner” is not an immutable attribute. Its not a skin colour. Comparing dislike of gun owners to racism is ridiculous.

        One can only commit an injustice against a person if it’s an immutable characteristic? That seems dumb in and of itself.

        Ftr, possessing drugs is not a immutable attribute either.

        But if that’s your hang up, the logical next thought would be “what if I take race out of it” and it’s just a conservative cheering on someone doing serious jail time for possession of a small amount of marijuana.

          Then that’s a different issue and should be handled according to what a person does/possesses and why on a case-by-case basis.

            You avoided an important question in my post which undermined your whole point.

            I stand by my point, their desire (and probably yours) is to make a gun owner suffer because you don’t like them, justice and objectivity be damned. It’s just like a racist conservative.

              I can’t take your argument seriously.

              People are (rightfully) glad that reckless idiots travelling to other countries carrying literal explosive devices have been arrested, and your takeaway is there is… racism directed towards gun owners?

              You’re delusional.

                You and I both know this is not what I saying, why the dishonesty?

                  You’re drawing parallels to racism because some people aren’t up in arms that these idiots with explosives have been arrested.

                  That’s pretty damn close.

                    because some people aren’t up in arms

      oof, another swing and a miss. you’re so damned close tho kid… tell you what. I make a distinction. I actually have a ton of respect for many gun owners; unfortunately, too many are fucking idiots who don’t keep their weapons and ammo accounted for.

      And I despise those fucks. They’re the idiots getting children killed, supplying criminals with weapons and pissing off our neighbor countries with petty bullshit like this.

      What I’d like to see happen: responsible people keep their privileges - but what I’m certain is going to happen is that everyone is going to be punished because the fucking morons can’t stop leaving their pewpews in their fucking unlocked cars.

      so… you do you sport, will probably block you so I don’t have to explain shit after this.
