There is no confusion. Tired and repetitive topics/postings are not confusing at all. The 2nd Amendment is important to you. We get it.

It's not as much as it is important to me as it is it should be important to all of us. Write all our/your representatives and tell them to stop the legislation and I'll stop posting about it.

We all have things we are passionate about that others may not be, that can get irritating to others on forums. Does that mean we shouldn't express our views?

No, but you don't need to make a new thread every day about the same topic.

Maybe I should just make one thread that keeps going and going and going.
This notion of me making a new thread about guns or 2nd Amendment every day is quite exaggerated, as well.

How effective do you think writing/calling your representative is? Honest question, I think they'd open the letter (or their secretary would) and be all like ok cool kthxbye. Do you expect it to open their eyes the more people write them? I would assume most of them pretty much have their minds made up.

They respond and it's a sure way to get added to their mailing list, so some staffer has the job of sorting and picking the most appropriate form letter to send back to you. Then in some offices they tally the ayes vs. the nayes on each topic to help inform the votes. But that's not standard nor does it alter the vote.

just on the 1st page, which goes back 2 weeks, you've got 11 threads started - 7 of those are political.

Not all those were started in that 2 week period...some of which were carrying on from a previous timeframe. Yes, I post about many things that are political, but that wasn't what I was saying is an exaggeration. How many 2nd Amendment / gun related threads have I made in the last 30 days? It isn't 30.

it doesn't matter that it's not the 2nd amendment, or that some threads were started over 2 weeks ago. you've got 8 on page 2, 5 of which are political; 13 on page 3, 8 of which are political (i'm eyeballing, so don't go tying to call me out for being off by 1 or 2).
it's a whip to get beaten over the head w/ political threads.

Understood...I post a lot of threads and a majority are political. That's quite a different statement than "every. single. day." in reference to someone else's statement about me posting about a liking the 2nd Amendment.

just because you aren't technically doing it every single day, doesn't mean it doesn't seem that way. perception/reality and all that jazz.

What if JT created a new thread every time he saw a Police Brutality news story instead of posting in the same thread?

Jt posts bad cop related stuff in the shitty cops thread, we should probably make a dont take our guns thread for most of this stuff. It would fit better that way. Just a little more tidy, and they may be a bit exaggerated, but I rarely check the author of the thread but I know who posted it when I see the content.

That might get confusing though, what if we had one Biden bashing thread and one don't take our guns thread? Where should this topic be posted? in both?
Another suggestion would be, if you don't like the thread don't participate in it? That one might be a little easier to manage.

I don't have a problem with one thread about guns/2nd Amendment like the cops thread.
jgriffith, Quite the conundrum, eh?

Without okie posting politics and tnr6 posting chics with deformed lower backs this website would be nothing but uneducated board and boat buyers. Gotta have something to pass the time while waiting in lines...

That video taught me one thing.... All those guns look dangerous and I'd not want one in or near my home/family, regardless of some archaic law telling me I have the right to if I wanted.
Has no one looked into losing the guns and just going to some sort of non-lethal deterrent/protection? Then those that live in fear of the government enslaving the population and or everyone's homes getting burgled, or criminals doing criminal stuff everywhere could just be stopped without the possibility of everyone getting shot/maimed here there and everywhere anytime a gun gets in to the wrong hands?
If you have something non lethal, that can disarm someone else carrying a weapon, without killing them... surely that's a little better? Not good... but better?

Brit Rider, surely you are being sarcastic? I simply cannot believe someone can be that naive.
Lets try "losing" all the harmful drugs too...while we are at it lets "lose" all the psycopaths, disease; lets stop world hunger and homelessness...wow we will all live in utopia

jgriffith, Actually, I'm serious. I'm not saying all the guns are going to disappear but stop selling them to anyone; tighten your controls drastically. Offer alternatives for those who want a means of self-defense.
I'm sick of hearing Americans say "Oh we must have guns, it's constitutional" and then hearing another news story of an idiot with a gun or people who seem to think they need gun after gun in a cabinet 'just in case'... of what?
Please don't' spin this to a debate on anything other than guns as they come with their own baggage that isn't necessarily the same.

I'll add to this that in the UK, we still have criminals who have guns. I doubt that will ever change. But the chances of them coming banging down my door, or anyone else's; is next to zero. I sure as hell don't need a gun, nor does anyone I know.

Brit Rider, hahaha, its great that the world still has dreamers like yourself
Do you understand what a constitution is? Obviously a rhetorical question based on your response above.
Why should I not introduce the drug analogy, do I need to further explain it to you, or should I not be allowed to introduce ideas that nullify your utopia? Do you understand what an analogy is?

Gun discussion AND girls in the SAME thread...now I think we've gone full circle.
Brit Rider, if you don't like guns, you can choose to not have them. The point of freedom, liberty and what is spelled out in our 2nd Amendment is that we have the right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves from any enemy. If you knew that the only way you could for sure protect yourself and your family was with some sort of gun, wouldn't you want the freedom to choose whether or not that is the method you want to use, instead of someone else dictating to you what your choices are?
