    It would make those banning guns feel better.

          Sure is.

          I would think a gun crazy was somebody who had a whole house full of them, including piles of high capacity magazines, and did a lot of unsafe shooting.
          So, not a gun crazy, for the purposes of this thread, anyway.

          Some liberals would think I'm a gun crazy because I own less than a dozen hand guns and am a certified range safety officer.
          Some conservatives would call less than a dozen "crazy," too.

          It's quite possible that YOU would think that was a "gun crazy", so, it's a fair question.
          Not so much. Everybody's going to have a different opinion about where to draw the line between daytime and nighttime, but once you hear someone saying they want to cause the biggest school shooting in history, reasonable folks will think there's not much debate as to whether we've spotted a gun crazy howling away in the dark.

              So, you use a very arbitrary term, then castigate people for not knowing what you meant, then admit it could mean pretty much anything depending on the person. Do you do this just for fun?
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Your translator's on the blink again.

                Yes, I posted that with the full expectation you wouldn't read it all the way to the end.

                  Nope, it's the broadcaster. My superheterodyne discriminator circuit filtered out the noise, and there wasn't anything left.

                  Had to hear yourself talk first, eh? Then FINALLY got around to something of a kinda sorta response -- -which you COULD have said WAY BACK WHEN PEOPLE WERE AXING you!!!!!

                        I believe it has, actually, and I'm thinking it was in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Trying to remember the details....

                          We are discussing hypotheticals since as far as I know we've never had someone threaten to shoot people at an event then go on to shoot people at said event either. I do know that metal detectors aren't all that useful:

                            The comment was about a whole point of view. Claiming, effectively that one side was clearly right. I simply did not agree that anything was at all that clear.

                              Thinking about this from a distance, it's sad that something such as video games is promoting such visceral reactions/emotions, but that's naturally what you get when people spend nearly 100% of their spare time and money on the same hobby. So many people (not only kids) spend way too much time playing video games and need to get back into the real world.
