Didn't he die over a decade ago?

Almost 15 years ago

 

[CiG]

So unless you're talking about what Onder did 15 years ago (when he and most other people were dumb ass teenagers probably) who gives a shit?

It wasn't 15 years ago but it was well before you started posting here.

So it's okay to make fun of the dead after a while but not right after it happens? Okay.

Not a persecution complex when you pretty much know how people are going to react about certain artists.

Making fun of Trivium? Okay

Making fun of Dimebag when he's dead? Definitely okay because Onder did it ages ago and no one gave a fuck about it.

Making fun of Manilla Road or other in crowd bands or deceased members of said bands? Not okay

Dude, the fact that I said something ten years ago doesn't make it okay. There's actually a pretty good chance it was fucking terrible.

Was it something like "Dimebag is a scumbag in a body bag OLOLOL!!!11111!!!"?

Doth Onder no longer Onder?

Doth Onder no longer Onder?

Well I'm still not a moral compass of the internet age, but now I'm like a grown-up, family Onder.

 

[The Ozzman]

But you point out that people are sexist so that's more of a moral compass than you used to be

I think STN made a 'Bodybag Darrell' joke which I laughed at but it wasn't anything like that.

Doth Onder no longer Onder?

He finally read some books, I guess

Democrats: But seriously, Ozzman, you're crazy. No one is coming to take your guns!

Also democrats:

A Democratic congressman has proposed outlawing “military-style semiautomatic assault weapons” and forcing existing owners to sell their weapons or face prosecution, a major departure from prior gun control proposals that typically exempt existing firearms.

In a USA Today op-ed entitled “Ban assault weapons, buy them back, go after resisters,” Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., argued Thursday that prior proposals to ban assault weapons “would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.”



Swalwell proposes that the government should offer up to $1,000 for every weapon covered by a new ban, estimating that it would take $15 billion to buy back roughly 15 million weapons — and “criminally prosecute any who choose to defy [the buyback] by keeping their weapons.”

In the past, Democrats and gun safety groups have carefully resisted proposals that could be interpreted as “gun confiscation,” a concept gun rights groups have often invoked as part of a slippery slope argument against more modest proposals like universal background checks.

Swalwell addressed these arguments directly, saying he and other Democrats had been too deferential to Second Amendment activists and should follow the lead of teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting who have been more strident.

“There's something new and different about the surviving Parkland high schoolers’ demands,” he wrote. “They dismiss the moral equivalence we’ve made for far too long regarding the Second Amendment. I've been guilty of it myself, telling constituents and reporters that 'we can protect the Second Amendment and protect lives.’”


Instead, he writes, “the right to live is supreme over any other.”

1) Assault Weapons don't exist
2) An AR-15 is not issued to the military. They are not the same.
3) Even if you outlaw the AR-15 in the normal caliber (.223/5.56), other builds exist with more powerful cartridges so outlawing does nothing.

I wish Kasich choked and died on the campaign trail. Fundamentalism can't possibly leave American politics too soon.

Europeans: Gun violence is wholly a US problem

Also Europeans:

[tagradh]

No one claims that it's solely an American problem. Most Europeans don't give a fuck about American laws.

There's significantly fewer gun related deaths (per capita and in absolute terms) in all European countries than in the US. Using one event in the UK as the basis for an 'argument' is ridiculous. Slightly out of date, but still -

"In a population of 56 million, that adds up to about 50 to 60 gun killings annually. In the USA, by contrast, there are about 160 times as many gun homicides in a country that is roughly six times larger in population. There were 8,124 gun homicides in 2014, according to the latest FBI figures."

you softheaded bastards care more about our laws than you do your own. Which is one of the main reasons that place has become the sewer of this planet.

DURDURDUR .. we have more people, which means more criminals, which means more crimes ... which equates to more deaths. Do all of you europeeons have the mental capacity of guppies?
