But, of course, you'd better hate on all gun owners because of the actions of a very few.
Questions?
Let the mouth frothing hate begin lol

That's because muslims don't go around shooting people liked gun nuts do.....get with the program dude. We know it's only a few Muslims who kill people (never mind they've been killing people for a thousand years). All gun nuts are time bombs waiting to go off. I mean their religion tells them to lie in wait of the infidels and kill them....oh wait...that's Muslims.... Sorry about that....

Next post.

Wow, this thread went way over your head.

The OPs point is clear. Just like you can't blame all Muslims for the acts of a few, you cannot blame all gunowners for the acts of a few.

Yet you had to kick this into an anti-muslim thread. Good job .

Just pointing out the irony of attacking gun owners while it's considered not PC to say anything against muslims or others....obviously, my post went right over your head. Attacking gun owners and blaming all of them for the violence of a few makes no sense at all in a world that expects us to not blame every muslim in spite of the teachings of violence and the history of violence of the religion. The point, which you obviously missed, is there is actually a lot more reason to blam muslims for violence than there is gun owners for gun violence. Yet it's not PC to do so with muslims and is ok to do so with gun owners. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of saying it's not PC to blame members of a group with a history like that of the muslim religion while it's ok to say gun owners are to be blamed for gun deaths. A little reading comprehension goes a long way.

But there are those who commit gun violence in the name of Islam....but I guess that's the fault of gun owners too...

Again, you're just not grasping the point the OP was trying to make and what this thread is about. It's wrong in both cases to generalize. Neither one is more right than the other (as you incorrectly imply). This idea that owning a gun is bad is just absurd. This whole idea that being a muslim is bad is just absurd. Those who generalize either are clearly intellectually weak.

The problem is, no one is attacking all gun owners because of the few gun nutters who kill and yet all right-wingers believe all Muslims are terrorist.

So you would support common sense government regulations being placed on owning the Koran? What about waiting periods for obtaining a Koran? What about Koran registration?
