In reply to the discussion: Pocket Knives - Do You Carry One? [View all]jimmy the one
(2,776 posts)Just to let everybody know this thread has been cross posted to 'Gun Control and Right to Keep & Bear Arms' thread, also know as the 'Gungeon'. A lively discussion (cough) as to the pros & cons of gun ownership versus gun control.
What has transpired is that the cross posting OP author has twisted about (imo) your knife thread & tries to make it seem that we gun control advocates have sabotaged the knife thread into some kind of 'knife carriers are potential killers carrying deadly weapons'. Did any of you get that impression from gun control advocates? (hoyt & paladin the only two I recognized).
Oneshooter, hack, & lizzie poppet are all gunners, and they seem to be the ones suggesting violence related themes.
You all are invited to view, the following OP paragraph is not from me, but from the pro gun author, DonP:
(title) Interesting GD thread worth scanning for gun related commentary

It's supposed to be about who carries a pocket knife, what they use it for, what kind it is. But it turns out to show some gun controllers with serious focus issues.
It's interesting to see the differing opinions and knives and the vast majority of posts are on topic, about what kind of knife they carry. But the inevitable handful of gun control fans insist on declaring all of them "weapons" and anyone that carries one is just a "potential killer" for carrying a "deadly weapon".
Of course, one of our rare banned posters can't resist inserting their normal "Gun Nutz" screed in a "who carries a knife" thread.
IMNSHO, It's an excellent example of how far down the rabbit hole some of them have gone. They are incapable of posting on anything they think can be twisted to their worldview without demanding others rally to their agenda.
Another argument on why even trying to discuss anything with some of them is a total waste of time.
The big problem DonP has, is that the ones suggesting 'deadly weapons' and 'killers' are generally gunners. I recognized no 'gun control advocate' who has done what donP accused.
