ESF I worship you and adore you but no you did not just make the breastfeeding example. They gon get you. That has the potential to derail this already shitty thread even more.
Abort mission. Abort mission. (Just not at 20 weeks or in cases of rape and incest and not without an ultrasound).
Why don't you care about the sanctity of missions???

Still waiting for the "but boobs don't kill babies" observation.
Not to be a bitch, and I mean this completely honestly and rationally...
Can somebody PLEASE explain how saying that a person with a gun in a grocery store MIGHT be a crazyperson is MORE offensive than saying that the ONLY reason people don't like seeing guns in public is irrational fear. And if you only had more education you'd be okay.
Honestly, I think the anti-open carry people have been subjected to more offensiveness in this thread than the other way around. We're tripping all over ourselves to say that they're not all crazy shooters about to take everybody out... but we're all ignorant.
I wish that people would call out specific posts that they find offensive rather than saving it for one big "this board sucks and I'm leaving" complaint. It would make it a lot easier to pinpoint what specifically is the problem apart from the fact that our board composition is 80% liberal.

I don't want to speak for HBC, but pretty sure she was specific in her callout on page 4.
However, I will also respond that if the general board's offense meter isn't detecting what an alternate viewpoint might take as offensive, and then just assumes that Cons need to thicken their skin and post more instead of disengaging altogether, maybe that speaks to a broader problem of singularity in perspective that leaves little to no room for civil discourse.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I was hoping people understood what I meant. There's breastfeeding. And then there's just intentional gratuitous flashing of the boobs in the name of your right to do this. @momimatrix liked my post, so I think it was clear.
But if you don't like that, we could talk about circumcision.
Also did the board talk about what Scott Walker said yesterday? Women don't care about rape babies after the first few months of pregnancy so he's cool with 20 week abortion ban w/ no rape exception.
This is one of the leading republicans running for president!
Women are only concerned about being raped and getting pregnant for those first few months then they are totes cool with it!!!!!!!!
I think she was referring to my post about how the religious right has an agenda to make it seem like rape and sexual assault is over reported, because they know the biggest obstacle in front of abortion bans is the public's squeamishness at forcing rape victims to carry their babies to term.

Republicans/conservatives also need to be the ones who listen and change their opinions after being told why they are wrong. When I post a more moderate view, because that is how I lean, I can be assured that I will be told I am wrong. There is no possibility that a more liberal person will have a civil conversation. I will be wrong and 12 posters will post that all at the same time. Then it becomes futile because I spend all my time in a defensive argument as to why I am not an idiot. I think this is pretty common among the liberal/progressive types.

This silly thread started because someone said OH NOES THEY CAN CARRY GUNS NOW WHAT WILL I TELL THE CHIRRENS??!!1111!!!!! Then folks said THOSE GUN PEOPLE ARE BULLIES!!!!!!!1111 THEY HAVE TINY PENISES!!!! THEY HAVE THEM TO SCARE PEOPLE CALL THE PO PO!!!!
No one saw any issues with any of those responses to what was an asinine question to begin with?
Apparently not. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is totally joking and shouldn't be taken so seriously. People who aren't completely against guns can't draw comparisons to anything else because guns kill tons of people, but boobs are a fair comparison. If you ever went to any kind of church, you might think the Duggars are spiffy.

Well yeah!!!! See above!!!!!!!!
I found the whole thing distasteful. So, it is OK to speculate about what happened. A 13 year old touched his underage sisters. Instead of thinking that maybe, even though the family is hated, the girls deserve privacy, it is speculated about in a rather disgusting way.
Hi speck0809. I hope we have not scared you off. I hate to tell you this, but you have to stick around. You have reached @septimus levels of drama with a post count of 12. That is some fine work!

There were also a lot of us who said "Tell it's legal, but teach your kids what you want if you don't agree." I did joke at first. There was the bully thing, but I didn't respond to those.
I do, however, let my kids know if I don't agree with something in public. I'm not all pearl clutchy, but I do say things to them in private if they ask about something (like a gun on a hip of a person in a store), "Yes, they have a right to carry a gun so everyone can see it. I don't think it's right and I don't agree with that because guns are weapons that are dangerous and I feel like we live in a place where we are safe enough to not carry guns around the neighborhood." Does that imply that the person who is carrying the gun doesn't feel safe? Maybe, and I'll own to the bias that others may not have, but it also reassures my kids that we are in a safe place.
I would still call the cops if I saw someone with an automatic weapon in public - that's just good public safety, even if it's legal. The cops should check and make sure it's safe. I've never had to do that or seen someone open carry an automatic weapon and I've lived in Open Carry states my whole life pretty much.

kinda like being told that if I went to a range and shot a little, maybe hung out with gun owners, I'd be less troubled by people who feel the need to carry a loaded firearm into Rite Aid?

Anyone who took my completely TIC post as serious definitely needs a break.
I say it about people who drive Hummers and sports cars, too. I'm an equal opportunity manhood shamer.

CA has (or used to have) Open Carry Laws and for the most part you didn't notice they were carrying bc it would blend into their clothing and only if you REALLY looked you could see the piece.

I did and noted it in my first post. Itching ass.
But flgirl is here thinking she often posts moderate shit and is trying to get martyr robes, and @majorwife called Christ a product of rape-- Leda and the swan would be a more fitting comparison (although props for the picture of Christ with guns, apropos), so I am peacing the fuck out of this hot mess. Fuck this thread. If Emmy were here, she'd be dropping cuntwitches and Massengil everywhere.

I am a pacifist married to a gun owner. But, I do think saying the police are going to be called if an open carry weapon is seen is ridiculous. You have every right to be bothered by the open carry of weapons. If it is legal, I have the right to carry.
