Don't lump me in with the crazies
June 11th 2009 00:31
Don’t lump me in with the crazies every time some nut job shoots somebody in a screwed up political statement. I am a law abiding citizen and gun owner. I used to be a licensed gun dealer, had about 20 weapons in the house. Never ever have I shot anyone, even though I have been shot at twice and robbed one time.
I am no stranger to violence as from the top of my head I know 5 people who have been shot. 3 of them died, one at the hands of a police officer after he shot one of the others (a cop) that I know. Yet I have never shot anyone.
The Liberals are already attacking some of us right wingers at Associatedcontent over being pro gun. Because of the crazy who murdered the abortion doctor and the crazy who murdered a guard at the Holocaust Museum.
I am not a bad person or crazy because I own guns. Truth be told if you were my neighbor and being attacked, you would like my guns because I would defend you with them.
I am anti abortion but in a lawful manner. If I happened to be going by an abortion clinic and saw a crazy with a gun, I would try to stop him, even if I had to use mine. Don’t lump all gun owners in with the nut jobs. We are not bad people for the most part, we just have different ideas about what is right and wrong. Most lawful gun owners do not commit crimes.

"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" is something we can consider a real possibility.

Legitimate political expressions from the Right do not promote violence, in my opinion. What is, however, inexcusable and provides rationales for the “crazies” is hate speech. I do not suggest that you are a participant in hate speech, but you seem to excuse or justify those on Orble who cannot or will not resist the name-calling and hatred.
You have aligned yourself with those who cannot avoid hate speech. Even in childish matters such as refusing to use the President’s name, making up story after story about the President’s religion, continuing to repeat the many times discredited story about his being born in Hawaii, the silly talk about his “new name”.
If you want to be taken seriously, and I, for one, understand your opinions about gun ownership (with which I do not agree), then stop accepting the hate that comes from your friend’s mouth. Be the first of SL’s friends to say, “That’s enough”. Let’s address the issues and cut out the names that incite violence.

I will, however, look for a hobby -- if she will every now and then use a thesaurus. For example, President Obama may be wrong, he may make poor decisions; this does not equate to being a "liar".
Democrats and Liberals may have, in her opinion, poorly phrased or formulated viewpoints; this doesn't mean they are evil or traitors or less patriotic than the Right.
Randy, I do not believe that I have called you raciest for not supporting the President; you are expressing political views. And, upon reflection, SL is likely not a raciest, either.
She is, however, guilty of hate speech. The kind of nonsense that may inspire a domestic terrorist to act. Please note that while foreign terrorist did attack us in 1993 and 2001, the killings in Oklahoma City, Wichita and Washington this week were all done by home-grown raciests who had been spurred on by hate speech.
I am not asking you to request anyone to "tone down" language. Just be aware.

If you're so concerned about "hate speech", maybe you should concentrate on the terrorists (like the one who killed the soldier in Little Rock) and his justification for the murder. That would be hate speech. Or Michael Moore and his ugly movies. Or David Letterman. Or the Huffington Post. I could go on, but you should be able to get the point.
