I don't think there is a wrong time for the discussion, Problem is neither side wants to discuss anything, they want to vilify the other side.

Lol.
Left in this thread and the Dungeon: Racists, Religion is retarded, rednecks, idiots, morons, faux rage!!!!
Right in this thread and the Dungeon: Let's talk about mental health, domestic abusers, violent criminals. Why did this happen?
We are a country that fetishizes guns, whereas others don't. We are obsessed with them. We view them as an extension of our collective small dicks, and shooting them is akin to jerking off.
We are also a country that does not adequately support/fund mental health efforts. That is a pretty bad combination.

The fastest growing demographic of gun owner is women in this country. They're obsessed! They are just compensating for their small dicks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.
Imagine holding your finger up to your head and saying "POW!". Are you dead?
Now, imagine holding a loaded gun to your head and - safety off - pulling the trigger.
The issue isn't black and white. There isn't one solution. Sensible - actually sensible- gun laws won't prevent ALL deaths or even mass shootings. But it is reasonable to expect it would reduce them. The argument against any sort of gun regulation shouldn't be "well, it wouldn't prevent this situation specifically" or "it won't prevent all shootings/mass shootings" or "some would have still died". Nothing is perfect. But something is better than nothing.
Conservatives AND Liberals need to understand this. I have far too many conservative friends who balk/mock/plug their ears when it comes to ANY discussion of gun laws. And I have far too many liberal friends who support measures that are asinine and ill-conceived as all FCK. But, until we are ALL willing to give a little ground on our supposed core principles, this will continue to happen.
It's guns
It's mental health
It's male masculinity
It's poverty
It's a myriad of issues at play. And because these problems are complex and complicated doesn't mean we should just throw our hands in the air and say, "**** it". We shouldn't retreat to our partisan corners in times like these. We should meet in the middle,shake hands, get a beer and discuss ways that COULD be positive steps in the right direction.
tl/dr blah blah blah same shit different day.

Why didn't you just post that? You had to post an attack on gun owners first. Your first post is the exact reason there is never a conversation about this. The left can't have a civil conversation without name calling.
Yea, ok. You want to lecture us and wonder why no one listens to you, yet you began above by describing gun owners as people "compensating for little dicks". You basically throw every negative stereotype of what you perceive to be gun owners against the wall, then get angry when people aren't eager to go along with your proposed "solutions".
You do realize there are hundreds of semi-auto rifles out there not named AR-15, right? The AWB didn't even outlaw AR-15s, just ones with certain modifications.
I didn't say gun owners. I said "We". You. Me. the whole country. EVERYONE is obsessed with them. People who own and don't own. I think guns are effing awesome, to be honest with you. I TOTALLY GET the fun of shooting them. I've done it MANY times. It's effing awesome as hell. I love movies with a shit ton of guns. I mostly play video games that feature shooting of some kind. It's permeated our entire country/culture.
Yet, you and Bob are narcissist little snowflakes who can't read and get all bent out of shape and triggered the moment someone said anything about guns you didn't immediately agree with.
So you outlaw the scary AR-15 and they use a .308 semi-auto hunting rifle instead. You outlaw .308s and they come in with a couple 9mm hand guns.
Pretty much. The country is obsessed with them. The USA in general is fascinated with violence. Would be fascinating to see research on why our country has so much more an obsession with it compared to other Western Societies. Meanwhile, although I feel like this has changed some recently, topics like nudity and sex are extremely taboo here, much moreso than the rest of the word.
This most likely will be par for the course though. People will rah rah for a few days and then some other news story will pop up and this will go away. Nothing will get done. It's all politics.
So when you call us libtards, that's not a personal attack? What about when you called us snowflakes? It's a term that the conservative right started. You guys most definitely used it prior to any of us using on these boards.
I'm confused.
You ban abortion, they'll still find doctors willing to do them or in the back alley.
You build a wall, they'll find a way around. You close that way around, they'll take a boat. You increase boarder patrol, they'll pay off border agents.
You ban people from Muslim-majority countries, they'll find ways in through other countries or illegally.
You ban gays from marrying, they'll still date, have sex, and corrupt your children.
Why do dumbass redneck gun hoarders get so upset when they are called names?
Look, your fetish for gun porn gets myriads of people killed. You are the problem. One day you might realize that your desire to put your finger on a trigger is what kills children, and all of your praying doesn't help stop it.

Thread please. I would like to see the context.
Edit: I was replying to Ninja. One of only a few people here that deserve that.
BQ has also accused me of calling him a "libtard" when in fact I never have.
It's his catch-all for when he wants to whine about righties on the board.
You and Ninja were arguing and asked where all of his circle-jerk libtard buddies were to defend him.
Search "snowflake" posted by you and theres multiple pages of you calling people snowflakes. Which you just got triggered by.
Gotta love when a bunch of hypocrites go out calling people hypocrites.
yeah the nudity has changed more recently. feels like not too long ago you'd rarely see bare ass on basic cable channels before 11pm, now it's more common
I actually said, "It's more an issue with you because I would actually like to have a discussion with you on most of these topics but the minute you throw in snowflake, liberal hack, progressive libtard, any desire to actual engage in discussion with you is gone."
I'm talking about your overall tone and use of words in threads - not necessarily directed towards me. Forgive me though - you're right - you don't use libtard as much as I thought. I guess the constant use of snowflake and other fun terms has clouded my memories.
Directed towards me, Ace and the other liberals on this board - not just as Ninja. You just got upset at SirDingy for using snowflake, which you use all the time. If you don't want people to call you names - don't call other's names either. Practice what you preach and what not.
I don't use it at all. Ever. Mostly because unlike another poster on this board, I find the usage of any derivative of "retard" as an insult to be disgusting.
Dick is still pretty taboo though, you get some upper pube bush sometimes nowadays though. LOL.
...and a lot of people find certain things disgusting too - but you then go out and call them a snowflake for believing that. Are your beliefs right and theirs wrong?
There are 10 pages of snowflake results. I pop up twice and they are both directed at Ninja. Him and chemmie are the only people I have called names.
