I was pointing out that the thread was being sarcastic. A point so often lost on many of the liberals on this board. Sorry to have confused you so.
So you posted a thread about Obama talking about guns or something in "sarcasm", and titled it "Obama the Gun Nut". Why?
What was your purpose in posting the thread?
You state:
firing weapons for fun???
Such a terrible example.
So, I'll assume that's the "sarcasm" part. Why?
And here's the conversation:
FF: Have you ever fired a gun?
Obama: Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time.
FF: The whole family?
Obama: Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there. And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations. And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake.
Part of being able to move this forward is understanding the reality of guns in urban areas are very different from the realities of guns in rural areas. And if you grew up and your dad gave you a hunting rifle when you were ten, and you went out and spent the day with him and your uncles, and that became part of your family’s traditions, you can see why you’d be pretty protective of that.
This is where your "sarcasm" veers seriously off course. Because you don't know what the word means:
sar·casm
/ˈsärˌkazəm/
Noun
The use of irony to mock or
convey contempt.
Synonyms
irony
In effect, you did make the post out of hate. And contempt. So everyone coming down on you is right. Perhaps you should apologize.
Not only that, but your intent in posting the thread is moot.
Using an inane and ignorant talking point doesn't help, does it?
NOBODY, especially Obama, want to take away you gun nuts guns. NOBODY, especially Obama, has ever said that gun owners shouldn't be able to hunt or shoot skeet all they want.
What Obama wants, as well as a majority of Americans, is that guns with an automatic or semi-automatic function designed primarily for military and quasi-military use not to be used to mow down 20 innocent children or groups of people in a movie theatre by a crazy person.
As soon as you and the NRA miscreants realize this the sooner we can all sit down and have an adult conversation about guns.
