If you pay attention, you'll notice I have limits. I don't encourage suicide and post the suicide hotline number whenever I see a post from someone feeling suicidal. I don't troll about abortion. And I don't troll about murders. Poly tics, butt hurtedness, that's funny. Suicide? Murder? Not so much.

"I think there is a real debate that needs to be had about gun control..."

That has to happen the day of the tragedy. And has to involve people on the internet name calling, as happened in the other thread. And has to involve protesters blaming the NRA.

You say your thoughts and feelings concerning the issue are genuine. I believe you. What I don't believe is that large portions of the people who do those things I listed above have any honor for me to impugn.

That has to happen the day of the tragedy.

Tragically long experience has shown that it will not happen at any other time.

And has to involve people on the internet name calling, as happened in the other thread.

I don't agree with people doing it. I think it's an expression of real feeling and inevitable, but I don't agree with it.

And has to involve protesters blaming the NRA.

Well, I mean, for God's sake, we've had how many years of the NRA virulently rejecting even any discussion of the idea of greater gun controls. It's not hard to reach a certain conclusion about the role it plays in our national political process.

You say your thoughts and feelings concerning the issue are genuine. I believe you. What I don't believe is that large portions of the people who do those things I listed above have any honor for me to impugn.

As for honor, I think some of them have it; perhaps some of them do not. I think our political process is broken and generally awful. But I don't think that on the whole the opposition to gun control is dishonorable. I don't think it is anything dishonorable in itself. And I maintain that your reaction to it went much further than could possibly be justified, I assume out of some kind of emotional reaction, but still unjustifiable.

i don't think owning a gun is honorable. the thing is 'rhythm' with responsibility.

you know that thing can go on with a trigger.
