Gabby Giffords: Universal Background Checks Not Enough, Legalize Confiscation
breitbart.com ^ | 5/10/2016 | AWR Hawkins

On May 9 — less than two years since universal background checks were hoisted onto the backs of law-abiding citizens in Washington state — Gabby Giffords was in the state campaigning for special protective orders that will allow firearm confiscation.

The orders — “Extreme Risk Protection Orders” — would be similar to California’s Gun Violence Restraining Orders, inasmuch as they would allow “family or household members” to petition a judge to order the temporary confiscation of firearms from another family member or person living in the household.

Gabby Giffords: Universal Background Checks Not Enough, Legalize Confiscation

Proof the guy who shot her in the head didn't hit any vital organs.

“You are beclowning yourself.”

In bothering to talk to you, perhaps.

“All you do is mock, but yet you don’t address any of the arguments.”

I mock your non-arguments. You haven’t presented any arguments for anything. I mean that quite literally. You have not presented even one. All you really said is that you believe we’re lied to often. I agree with you, but that is not an argument.

“You just blindly believe your Dan Rather nightly news like the clown you are.”

I have not watched “nightly news” in more than a decade, and I never liked Dan Rather. Thus, we see you not only didn’t present any arguments but that you know nothing about me but make mistaken assumptions. Again, you’re beclowning yourself.

I agree with you. A decline in the culture of life explains a lot of what we’re seeing unfold before our eyes.

“Yeah, mental illness just suddenly spiked when obama took over.”

No, it’s been increasing decades. There are more mass shootings in the last few decades than half a century ago. More drugs (legal and illegal) are consumed these days. More people apparently feel desperate or are despairing or have given up (just look at the number of people on welfare, food stamps, perpetually unemployed, etc).

“And when a shooting happens, like clockwork they start trying to pass anti-gun laws.”

Yes, they do. That doesn’t mean mass shootings - which are actual events - are hoaxes created by massive conspiracies and engineered to promote gun control. Thus far they have often had the exact opposite effect in society. As mass shootings have increased, gun control has lessened in many respects and concealed carry has skyrocketed. Is this news to you?

“Like I said, you are a sheep, nothing more.”

Except you didn’t say it. This is the first time you have said it. That fact that you imagine you’ve said it before speaks volumes. You’re allowed to be a loon, but being a loon puts you closer to Leftists rather than people who actually have the ability to reason.

For kicks and giggles tell me what you believe about chemtrails.

This is your entire argument: It was reported on the news, so it must be true.

“This is your entire argument: It was reported on the news, so it must be true.”

Actually, no. I never said that. This is the second time - at least - where you have made either an incredibly dumb mistake (you see things that aren’t there) or you just made something up out of thin air (which would show you to be dishonest). I never said anything about anything being reported on the news. Again, you beclown yourself. Can you do anything right?

Where did you hear about the Gifford’s shooting? Did you dream it? Did someone tell you? Did you see it? Or did you read a news article about it.

Anyway, wherever you got wind of it, you instantly believed and ridicule anyone who question what you heard. If someone brings up a question regarding it, you point back to whatever source told you and say “no she got shot, and there!”

“Where did you hear about the Gifford’s shooting?”

So now you’re admitting it happened?

“Did you dream it?”

Did you?

“Did someone tell you?”

Did someone tell you?

“Did you see it?”

Did you?

“Or did you read a news article about it.”

Did you read a news article about it?

“Anyway, wherever you got wind of it, you instantly believed and ridicule anyone who question what you heard.”

How could I ridicule “anyone who question[s] what [I] heard” without that person even knowing what I heard? You just got done asking all sorts of questions about what I heard and how I heard it BEFORE you claim I “instantly believed and ridicule anyone who question[s] what [I] heard.” Can you think? At all?

“If someone brings up a question regarding it, you point back to whatever source told you and say “no she got shot, and there!””

No, you can bring up questions all you like, but that isn’t what you did. What questions about that shooting have you brought up with me, for instance? NONE. All you have asked is where I got my information about the shooting from. Can you tell the difference between those two things? Apparently you can’t. The real issue here is that you want to believe that mass shootings are massive conspiracies created to promote gun control measures (which have not worked so far anyway).

Weak minded people want to believe there are massive and constant conspiracies going on because it relieves them of the necessary task of realizing problems among human beings are often much more mundane in origin and much more difficult to solve than exposing a supposed conspiracy. Idiot conspiracy theorists even believe the tornado in Joplin, Missouri was caused by an atmospheric control experimental group in Alaska! The fact that tornadoes happen in Missouri all the time, doesn’t seem to matter.

Seriously, as education continues to fail, common sense becomes less common, and people see conspiracies where they do not exist, this sort of conspiracy quackery will continue to fester.
