Is RKBA (Right to keep and bear arms) a Progressive value?
« on: August 26, 2012, 09:31:13 PM »
They have to be joking with this one. This little ditty is from the "Gungeon". For those of you who don't know that's the nickname the gun haters at DU gave to the Gun Control & RKBA group.There is a constant whine in the Meta forum from anti-gunners who want the group shut down. They claim it's full of RW trolls, it is. I have no idea why $kammer tolerates it. I hung out there a lot until my mole was tombstoned for being just a little too opinionated when it came to matters of gun control. I haven't been there for awhile but it's Sunday and I was bored stiff so I rowed over to the island. The first thing I noticed is that there has been a purge in the Gungeon. None of the regulars are around that were there when I was still able to post.

I am thinking that $kammer ordered the purge to keep things under control until the election. From know until then the DUmp is going to be more of a looney bin then it usually is. There are still a couple of the old gun haters there but most of the hard line pro gunners are gone. There is one particularly nasty little prick called "HOYT" He has broken every rule in the book and he is still there, you figure it out. I brought this thread over because it caught my eye. The title of which is totally ludicrous. Enjoy.

This is the poll. It pretty much speaks for itself. Now let's look at some posts. It's a big bonfire.

First one of our favorites.

1. not without significant restrictions....

In fact, RKBA is a constitutional right. I'd argue that restricting that right to protect the broader interests and safety of everyone else is the progressive value.

10. only the ones that consistently result in mass killings of innocent people...

...and people killed to prevent some gun owner from suffering wounded pride or petty property loss. I think you can figure that out.

2. Wow - no bias in this poll. In Gungeon, in group where people post under multiple IDs, and worse.

Can you kill a zygote with a gun ?
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Yeah, it's perfectly fine to kill an innocent child, but killing a mass murderer is wrong? This clearly makes perfect sense.

Hey, the kid(fetus) is in a gun free zone. Cowardly DUmmies like that kind of target rich environment.

Yes you can. In that case it is called murder and the DUches all want the charge dropped for fear of affecting their precious abortion.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

If you look at the role of Marat and his ilk in the Reign of Terror, that makes an excellent argument for getting rid of that little 'Freedom of the Press' thingie.  DUmmies, of course are entirely innocent of the knowledge of history since they are the smartest people ever to live, and deserve to run the world for the betterment of all for that reason alone, and all those dead White guys couldn't possibly have done anything that would teach them anything as important as just following their own feelings.

RKBA to a DUmmie means....the Right to Keep Baring his Ass.

But wouldn't it be like trying to shoot a gnat with a cannon ?
