but you never had guns involved. they were doing actual political events at shooting ranges. So it was a literal statement.

No, you're not. When the sole contribution to a discussion on political speech is repeated railing about anyone (even a president you hate) then it isn't conversation at all - it's trolling. And that's not what this board is about at all.

It looks like all you're really trying to do is stir up trouble.

The ignore function is bliss. Some people are simply not worth being heard, and/or are too much of an ideologue to have a conversation with. The only thing that sucks, is when people quote the troll, but otherwise, your ears are deaf to whatever vomit they happen to spew. ( Aside from vomit, wharrgarbl also comes to mind)

"Sgt. Sisk: Ladies and gentlemen, our suspect is not human. He is at home in the bush. Shoot to kill. Any questions?
Mob Member: Oh, yeah, yeah, I got a question there. When do we get to light our torches?
Sgt. Sisk: When it gets dark.
Mob Member: Ah, I see. Oh, hey, I got another question there. Suppose, hypothetically, you know, a guy had already lit his torch. I mean, it'd be cool if he could just keep it lit, huh?
Sgt. Sisk: Yes.
Mob Member: Oh, excellent. Excellent.
Sgt. Sisk: Now, if there are no more questions...
Mob Member: Oh, hey, hey, hey, I got another question. Hey, uh, if one part of the mob gets separated from another part of the mob, shouldn't there be a place that we can get together? Maybe a secret place the two mobs could reunite, and we'd be a big mob again.
Sgt. Sisk: Stay with the mob.
Mob Member: Stay with the mob. All right.
Sgt. Sisk: Right.
Mob Member: Hey, hey, hey, I got another question. Hey, uh, doesn't this guy deserve a fair trial?
Sgt. Sisk: You - back of the mob!
Mob Member: "Back of the mob"? What? This is my spot! I came early!
Sgt. Sisk: Okay, *out* of the mob!
Mob Member: Ah, this mob blows. "

Exactly what rights have been "taken away" from us?

Last time I checked, I was enjoying all my rights.

This thread is violent and should be restricted. The mere presence of a mob (see post #84) is enough to have it shut down. Disperse the lot of ye, or the fed's will be in here whacking skulls!
