I quit early on in the book because of the silly stereotypes he does in all his recent books (cept for 11/22/63, which was good). The idea of Under the Dome is great, hopefully they do a better job of characterization than SK did.

Breaking Bad, then when that is over, Homeland. Other than those shows though...

The human rights tribunals are just ridiculous kangeroo courts. They have made all kinds of rulings in the past that smack of the Onion.

How many were killed by stamp collectors? Not sure. How many were killed by people that were gun collectors? Im guessing very few. You really seem obsessed with this idea that people that collect guns are some sort of huge extra danger to society. However, the people committing mass shootings...

Exactly right. Duppin seems gun collectors as this... but instead the average gun collector has more in common with this

Stop misrepresenting. I didn't call it racism, I said people only caring about white kids, which is based more on ignorance than racism. The media constantly mentions mass shootings, plays each one over and over again, trumpeting how many people die. Yet the shootings every day over the drug war...

Glad you are willing to admit that the debate isn't rational, its about "saving the children" and not even about saving the children, but about saving "the white children", since apparently you and no one else cares about doing something to lower overall homicides. Also, your post makes it...

Great great link Fana. Any of the people in this thread that seem to think all this is above-board and fully within the law should check that out.

You keep saying that "We did it", as if everyone complaining about it supported it at the time. You definitely seem to be brushing aside any privacy concerns because for whatever reason you think the very few privacy safeguards will be enough. You seem to think that just because it has been...

Well, thats the thing. It isn't a scientific theory, its just a theory. Many philosophy of science textbooks actually use communist theory as an example of a non-falsifiable non-scientific theory example.

Well, it was a gradual thing that grew in me as book 2 continued. Certainly initially I was all for it. Book 3 I'm enjoying atm.

Holy shit, so watched about 10 minutes of a few of these videos and I feel like my brain rotted. It is scary that people eat this shit up.

So you were against it but now that those who were for it before are against it, you are fine with it? I really don't get that attitude. Were the reasons you were against it in the first place no longer valid? At the time, the people for the Patriot Act said that it was needed to solve crime...

Finished book 2 and starting on book 3, but I definitely liked book 1 the most of them all. As book 2 continues, my problem is more that it stops being a story of someone growing in power and fighting against the odds and instead turns into straight up raping and pillaging for little reason. I...

Well, Duppin did come into the thread and over and over say that anyone that had a gun or wanted a gun must have a small penis. A serious debate on his emotional fear of guns wasn't going to happen.

Yikes, you really believe all that shit? John Goodman would shoot your commie ass.

Benghazi explained! Also, doesn't Lumie already have a thread?

Disagreeing with us does not mean you are stupid. On the other hand... Saying that peoples fascination with guns is the #1 problem in the US is stupid. Saying that the war on drugs is a sidenote to gun violence is stupid. Saying that getting rid of social inequality wouldn't help violence...

Fana, Duppin has ignored every attempt to point out that AWB and magazine capacities would have close to zero effect on homicides. He doesn't want to consider anything else. He has even implied that getting rid of poverty and social inequality wouldn't help, because people will just keep killing...

I was just trolling Dumar, don't take it too seriously I just found his horror at a Steve Jobs movie pretty funny.

Must really burn you up that Steve Jobs had more of a positive effort on society than your boy Marx.

Or you know, you could watch ANY of those videos that Gavinrad linked. They all show Superman killing far more people than in Man of Steel, because as has been said 20 times in this thread, 95% of the damage was done from the World Engine.

What grates on my nerves about all the negative reaction to this film from so-called "true" Superman fans is how they complain about the interpretation. How it isn't the "real" Superman. Yet Superman has been interpreted all over the fucking place in the comics. His superpowers and willingness...

Needs to be an olympic sport.

Not in southern IL or around St. Louis. I mean, it depends on what it is, but ammo is definitely not in general at pre-craze levels.

The rush on ammo is going to always last more than the rush on firearms themselves. Stores now are finally getting back stocks of AR's. However, all these new guns still need ammo to shoot. It will calm down. Right now I can find plenty of .223 locally for example, but its just at ridiculous...

IMO you should just start off choking them, women love that shit

I live in St. Louis but my father lives in IL and has a bunch of farmland in Bond County.

Moving away from Duppin, http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,6083179.story Looks like Illinois is soon going to allow concealed carry. My understanding is the current bill requires a 2-day course. Hopefully it doesn't have a residency requirement or I might have to switch residency to...

So let us recap. Duppin believes that... 1) America's fascination with guns is our biggest problem. Bigger than health care. Poverty. Class mobility. Wealth distribution. Wage stagnation. Political funding. Corporate political influence. Education. Hunger. 2) Magazines should be capped at...

Just you bro, just you. In fact, if anything, you are the one protecting a child molester. Just turn in your dad okay, he never loved you, he just liked using you.

Just to make it absolutely clear, none of us care if you are here to be popular. We just think your obsession with new laws that would have no effect on crime is a clear indication of some serious psychological issues. Your lack of logic and gasping at straws is saddening. We aren't making...

So by "loophole" you mean that someone could legally get a weapon through a NFA trust and then illegally give to someone else? That isn't a fucking loophole you stupid fuck, it is still illegal.

ROFL, yeah like SBRs and suppressors? How often are those used in crimes? Again, pretty much never. So YET AGAIN you are wanting to create new laws to stop a problem that doesn't exist. All because someone molested you with a rifle barrel when you were a kid.

You should read that article, it points out many times why trusts are useful and why they aren't a problem.

How is the burden on me? NFA trusts are currently legal, so of course the burden is on you. Are you really this fucking stupid? Again, your shocking lack of knowledge is fucking you up. Full auto is really no more deadly than semi-auto and is more about suppression than killing people. So yeah...

Again, burden is on YOU to justify additional restrictions. The NFA leaves a papertrail, is expensive and has never been used in a crime. Yet this is something else on your wishlist. It is like you are deliberately trying to prove to everyone that you don't know what you are talking about. Are...

That is the maddening thing about arguing with Duppin about this. He hasn't justified a single restriction at all.
