18. you recommend the depraved OP

Why did you duck remarking on the following? You clearly were agreeing with donP's depraved OP about 'gun control fans' turning mineral man's thread into 'something sinister'.

sarisataka wrote: It is sad and disturbing That some minds are so fixated on weapons and violence that they can turn the most innocuous statement into something sinister.

Your above sentence meshes perfectly with donP's OP, to which you were replying: But the inevitable handful of gun control fans insist on declaring all of them "weapons" and anyone that carries one is just a "potential killer" for carrying a "deadly weapon"... It's an excellent example of how far down the rabbit hole some of them have gone. They are incapable of posting on anything they think can be twisted to their worldview without demanding others rally to their agenda.

Since you stand proud with donP on this, copy & paste from the crosspost thread exactly where any gun control advocate, or even the knife posters, said something remotely similar to what donP is talking about. The ones on that knife thread suggesting killers & deadly weapons were PRO GUN posters (or those replying to them in their own defense), in contradiction of donP.
Don't prevaricate with your silly nonsense, sarisataka, you are supporting donP's OP by your recommendation. So provide some solid evidence that what he said has factual basis, and not some triviality you use as an escape hatch.
Here are the most severe remarks about knives being deadly weapons, or suggestions of 'killers', and they are from GUNNERS:

gunner hack89 193 I keep forgetting that to you weapons are magic talismans capable of turning the mildest man into a serial killer.

gunner donP: and anyone that carries one {knife} is just a "potential killer" for carrying a "deadly weapon".

gunner oneshooter 194. I am just pushing the anti self defense peoples meme. If you carry a weapon, you are a killer in waiting.
oneshooter 165. It is truly amazing how many democrats carry a deadly weapon. n/t
oneshooter 3. A pocket knife IS a weapon, even if it is not used as such..
oneshooter .... 173. So you admit that you carry a deadly weapon to use on others?
oneshooter 191. If they routinely carry dangerous weapons concealed on their person, they have the capability of injuring, even killing others.
oneshooter 167. It is a "weapon". It has a sharp blade that can be used to injure. It is a weapon

198: (response to oneshooter 167) Adrahil {knife carrier} 198. OFFS....A sharp pencil is a weapon if you want to get down to it. This is idiotic. I carry a knife because I often need to CUT things, and that's what knives are for! Coiuld I kill someone with it? Yeah.... but if that were my intention, I'd carry a gun, not a knife. I have a gun carry permit, but don't carry one.


gunner Lizzie Poppet 211. I don't carry my knife to use on others. That's what the 9mm is for.

Now post something as 'sinister' as those, by a gun control advocate, or a knife poster. (I don't consider adrahil 'pro gun' as yet, what he said I have no problem with, giving benny of doubt)
