ALERTER'S COMMENTS
DU is not the place for insulting the family members of other posters.
This needs to be hidden.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jan 15, 2016, 03:04 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Poster is aiming to go way over the top.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This whole thread devolved into one hot mess and i have strained my brain to try to make sense of it. I feel like I don't know the whole story so i error on the side of caution and not hand out a hide over it
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alert Stalking at its finest
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I went back and read the entire exchange. This seems to be a sarcastic back-and-forth snark fest. This comment is childish, but not hide worthy YET. I recommend the two posters stop before it gets nastier; civil discussion is the goal, and at first I thought this was a DU Lounge post. No one is convincing anyone of anything except middle-of-the-night bored. Good luck.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is just nonsense. Lot of that going on around here lately.
For full disclosure, I was Juror #1, but I agree with #4's comment.

The WOD took out the 4th; the 5th -- any Tom, Dick or Harry with a watch List?

Frankly, I would take that supposed 34% of US population has guns with a HUGE grain of salt

Or you want that percentage to be much be much lower to justify your feelings as normal.

My post merely mentions the administration because of the claims made by advocates.

Ammosexual paranoia is not negated by my own personal support for Austrailian style arms control.

So the thing RKBA supporters say you want to do you admit you want to do.

You offered a lame straw man about helicopters I gave it the attention it merited.

Militant Pacifists have disarmed more fearsome weapons than that. Never underestimate Nonviolence.

He has, you simply didn't get it: Militant pacifism only works against those with a conscience
