Playwrite, you are officially no better than the Neocons who used 9/11 to force through the USA PATRIOT Act and the Islamophobes like Trump who use the Orlando Massacre to promote their "deport all Muslims" bile. You have no fucking shame.
Exactly. He seems to think the kiwi supports guns. No, I don't. I have mentioned many times how I am so happy I live in NZ and not over there because we do not have access to the sorts of guns they do as well as it is illegal to carry guns around. I despise guns. BUT understanding the way the others think is not a bad thing. It may open up conversation in fact. It may even teach you something. Cramming one way of thinking onto another just tends to make the other side buckle down on their ideal. It is not an intelligent strategy.
I despise ammosexual enablers nearly as much as I despise ammosexuals.
And buying into Bob's sanctimonious false equivalency that is just a plea for the status quo that continues to allow unfettered civilian access to military weapon platforms is about as ammosexual enabling as one can get.
And your layering on additional sanctimonious crocodile tears of your supposed dislike of guns from the safety of your far-flung cocoon of Oz doesn't change that.
