How Gun Control Made England The 'Most Violent Country In Europe

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

So all gun owners are fools.

Took you over an hour to come to that conclusion. Hmmm...

[GandD 5,966]

:rofl:

I did not report anything. Now your just making stuff up. Get a grip dude.

Making up stuff on a poster, especially by a mod, is not cool.

I need you to retract that

My mistake, I meant referenced no need to blow a gasket. I edited my post but the one where you quoted me will have to remain unless you want to change it.

As a

I find it offensive.

Are you implying that NB reported Penny???

How is it offensive Dave, to who? What is the PC term for an old white dude?

I did not blow a gasket. We are just trying to keep the playing field level. It's all good. Just wanted Penny to make sure in your rush to defend her, that I did not report her.

NVM, you're young, you deserve a bye on this one. Have a great evening, Sir!

It really was an accident NB, I apologize for the slip up

The reason I said it wasn't is because it isn't and I don't want people thinking it is. Old white man is not a slanderous term.

It's all good we still training you. LOL

Honestly is it a thread deletion, banning type of violation. Probably not, but the vain it was used in, as if the only people who try to impose their beliefs on women, are old white men, and yes it was meant to be derogatory. Like when someone repeatedly calls gun owners fools, nut jobs etc, but anyone posting a thread bashing democrats is shut down.

So next time I personally find no offense in a statement,but several posters do , you will go to bat with the Big P for me right ?

What if I called Janelle2002 an old black woman?

[GandD 5,966]

What if I called Janelle2002 an old black woman?

Its more like, what if you referred to a group of elderly black women as "old black women." That would not be a TOS infraction.

Guy's that's it, we're done with derailing the thread. If you want to discuss further, we need to take it else where. Some people may actually want to discuss the topic.

What's the topic? I forgot already. I'm an old white guy.

When in doubt, I'd guess guns. Oh, nailed it!

Yup. Redneck inside, pretends to be black on the outside. Heck, I bet he has a #24 hoodie!!
