TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Over a few fucking guns.  Wow.

Yep.  Or over free speech, or freedom of the press, or the right not to have troops quartered in my home, or the right to a trial.

As I said, it's a matter of principle.

It's a principle, when held to that degree, that, in the end, costs lives.  I just can't subscribe to that.

And that doesn't mean I'm some freedom hating scum bag.  Freedom is an important value for any society to have.  However, the reality is that we are a society, a community, and I've explained this in the drug threads.  By definition, if we are goong to agree to live in communities, in soceities, there is absolutely no way that can happen in a way where we have absolute, unchecked freedom.  We have to give ground to coexist.

Some things cost a lot more.  Progress being arrested for academic idealism, in this case, is one of them.

But, in the end, I don't think you have to worry.  There is clearly a strong coalition between the conservatives and gun-owning liberals/democrats to ensure that there is no change whatsoever.  Obama and Biden will talk some talk but it will be dead on arrival.  Hooray!

The very idea that liberty is "academic idealism" is pretty pathetic.  Doesn't matter which right you're talking about.

I'm not worried.  I'm more worried about the assholes chiseling away at amendment I, IV, V, VI, VIII, IX, and X.  They're actually making progress (in a very negative way), rather than just screeching whatever the latest CNN/Fox atrocity hype came on last.

It is when you divorce it from the reality that is on the ground.  In this case, that reality being that a few guns off of the market doesn't keep people from being able to bear arms but can contribute to smaller death tolls, therefore, saving lives.  Liberty is still well intact.

He seems to miss the irony of accusing everybody else of "having religion" over these sorts of subjects as he prattles on about all the rights we shouldn't have in the name of THE CHILDREN.

I mean, sorry bro, but I'm not required to give two shits about children and neither is anybody else.

See?  This is precisely what I'm talking about and it makes you sound like a fucking idiot.  Having a few less options for purchasing a gun does not make a "fascist police state", that's just an incredibly assinine statement to make.
