I think by reporting on a guy using capitalism to make money of a social justice issue, the media is pushing socialism by demonizing the free market system that gave him this opportunity while working on banning guns in the process.

Yup, that's it.

If you could make a wee bit more effort when posting please then you'll get much better responses and will also present yourself and your arguments in a much better light.

Otherwise you run the risk of coming across as, well.. a bit of a nutjob . Which I'm sure you're not, but especially in a medium like this when context and the like can he hard to judge, it's better to play safe, even if it takes a moment or two longer. And, if one recalls, this is just the OT board of a wargaming website. It's really not worth too wound up over.

Thanks in advance

Zimmerman is prejudged

Treyvon probably was a thug

.. hmm how does it go again.. ? Ah yes : At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed.

Wow, That is just...Wow. This is stupider the the black panthers bounty or tweeting of zimmermans house.
More reasons why i don't like Most gun owners, they seem fascinated with guns for gun sake, as if they are part of some special club...Gun owners are like Gamers, the second they think something is threatening their hobby, they jump on it like flies.
On a lighter side, Anyone see the guy on FB in the background?

That is the exact opposite of the problem here.

You statement's complete and utter failure at anything remotely resembling logic or rational thought is appalling.

Making money selling satire to people who do not understand satire is brilliant and delicious.

I know socialist anti-gun propaganda when I see it. Believe what you will.

The argument pushed forth doesn't make any sense to me, but then again I'm sane.

This is my reaction to many of the things said in off-topic...

On the positive, any self respecting range is going to kick you out for such nonsense at best. At worst (especially with the above kid targets) all the HEAVILY ARMED people around you are going to invite you to have a discussion...

But how will we prepare for Children of the Corn scenarios?

A flat rock for grinding and a nice slow fire?

Mmm corn tortillas...

I think the problem here is that you said that the anti-gun lobby demonise the victims of gun crime which is the opposite of what they do...
It would also make no sense for them to do that...

:(

I find that most fellow gun owners are really nice people(not that there's a direct correlation). And of course we like guns for the sake of liking guns. You could say "#{item} owners like #{item.pluralize} for the sake of #{item.pluralize}", where 'item' is defined as anything.
