Oregon The Oregonian hosting gun control discussion TONIGHT July 11

[SlimPickins]

Im glad I contributed to OOC. @daiello91 doing well for the little bits I could catch

He's keeping a great composure in the face of an overly emotional and what if arguments. I'm unimpressed by the anti side, it's low effort.

Pastor earlier mentioned they had 14 lawyers from his congregation write IP43. I wonder how many were actual gun owners?

He also mentioned that a semi could shoot 20 rounds in one second. He was sure of it!!!!!!

A lot of down right bad information coming out of their mouths.

This whole argument about changing how behavior is with guns is exactly what I'm talking about with educating citizens early, and making gun ownership a focus of pride. Taking guns away won't do that, education will.

Love how the man of god is basically wasting time, and asking questions then not allowing our boy to answer those questions....They just railroaded his response.

That's how they work. Why listen to facts and logic? It's all about their feelings.

It's the main reason I avoid logical conversation on the matter with those very against guns, it's just not worth the time most instances. I believe in healthy debate, but as of now our guy is not getting his due, nor being allowed to even answer the questions put to him.

I made it through a couple minutes of it but honestly I'm about to have dinner and that pastor was making me physically ill. Hunger may be the best spice but I can now attest to the fact that Tyranny is among the worst.

 

[Kruel J]

They are really arguing that people that commit these mass shootings aren't "really" mentally ill. WOW!

 

[tiggers97]

The pastor continues to keep exposing that he doesn't understand what he is talking about. Keeps trying to retreat to the moral high ground as the basis of his argument. Don't let them do that, call them out on it!

Very much this, sir.

 

[SlimPickins]

Though I will say I'm liking the moderator with trying to keep on a specific topic of bringing the two sides together, and at times calling out that it's going on a tangent.

 

[SlimPickins]

"Hah, we have a lot of colorful comments, but not a lot of civil questions."

 

[SlimPickins]

Hardly a random audience question, the woman had a note pad with a lengthy question on it.

 

[mrblond]

and the crying Fudd woman hahaha, how sad...

 

[Jim Colvill]

The reverend is all hot for addressing ownership of guns but not any actual work on the root causes of violence. No, that would be too hard.

[SlimPickins]

Wow, this lady is a plant. Waterworks, and everything...

 

[SlimPickins]

I am appalled at this woman, and her cringe worthy "question."

 

[SlimPickins]

I need 20 guns....maybe 21.

 

[SlimPickins]

I'm impressed with our guy, he's the most adult person in the room so far.
