Why do we need guns?...

[LedHed]

I do not understand the bust a cap for Jesus thing .

It's ironic humor and a play on the fact that many conservative gun owners are fundementalist christians, when Jesus would in all liklihood not have owned a gun had they been around at the time he was walking around on the earth (Had to be careful on that one, since if I'd said, "when he lived" it would have prompted all kinds of "What do you mean WHEN he lived" retorts). Tragically, it's also a double entendre when you consider that Jesus is a common hispanic name, and there's a lot of "busting a cap for Jesus" going on down there on the border right now. So it's funny to some, and dangerous to others. For more, go to the "ARRESTED for wearing a hat" thread and see posts #17 and #31. I had hoodies made.

I dunno . I am a fiscally conservative , Lutheran , weapon owner . Check out Matthew 10 : 35 - 36 . I think , maybe Micah 7 : 6 , Luke 12 : 49 -53 & 14 : 25 - 33 , if I recall .

Jesus has more powerful weapons than are available to myself.

Oh, good grief...

I meant don't shoot for a negative reputation when I said Don't do that. It was a general blanket statement.

The reputation system when used appropriately is actually quite helpful.

I point out the guidelines randomly in threads because people don't always seem to read them. You are a new member with a negative rep so I added them.

Honestly, thank you for reading them.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Luke 22:36

I agree with Red Led Hed, this whole rep system is bogus, people give Pos Rep to those who make inane 'preach to the choir' comments, and neg rep to anyone who dares argue an unpopular opinion. I would hope the system were different, but we can clearly see it's not.

"This is why we need to restore the constitution! This is why we need to end the fed! This is why police are corrupt!"

-Yay! +Rep +Rep +Rep!!!! He's saying what everyone else is!!!!!

"I'm begginning to think we should consider a moderate approach, We'll get more flies with honey, Ron Paul isn't a god, he's a man".

-Boooo!!!! Trollolololol!!! -Rep -Rep -Rep!!!!



I would propose giving +Rep for well thought out, novel writing; and -Rep for actual trolling or other irrelevant writings.


And to the OP, that is a troll quote. It might sound legit, but the 57 state part is from an Obama interview, dead giveaway. I've read much more ridiculous real anti-gun comments, I'm sure we all have, the only reason this is 3 pages, when this forum is like a snail on most posts is that trolling works. People respond much more to trolls than well-thought out text, which probably somehow ties back to the Rep issue, as snarky smart-ass one liners are much more likely to get +Rep.

That's always been the argument against it.

I was hesitant to use it at first, but the forums have been heading in a direction that I approve of since it was installed. The rep system has helped greatly.

Content is much better, people are more polite, moderators and admins can identify trolls easier.

It's not going away.

It has been working this way.

I was considering putting "With nothing but love to AF" at the end of that rant.

Oh and I already warned you Led that you were being a troll. Not in your opinion, but in repetition, *Open thread about revolvers* (first reply by Led) 'As long as you have a license.' *Facepalm*. - Inspired by a true story.

Yes, I know it's from an Obama speech, but you can't deny there are people who probably don't even know we actually have 50 states. Also, you can't deny people actually think like the video's OP.

A semi-auto that shoots an average of 320 rounds a second?

I would just love to have a 22lr sub machine gun.

This is one I could afford to feed.
