    “Gun owner” is not an immutable attribute. Its not a skin colour. Comparing dislike of gun owners to racism is ridiculous.

      One can only commit an injustice against a person if it’s an immutable characteristic? That seems dumb in and of itself.

      Ftr, possessing drugs is not a immutable attribute either.

      But if that’s your hang up, the logical next thought would be “what if I take race out of it” and it’s just a conservative cheering on someone doing serious jail time for possession of a small amount of marijuana.

        Then that’s a different issue and should be handled according to what a person does/possesses and why on a case-by-case basis.

          You avoided an important question in my post which undermined your whole point.

          I stand by my point, their desire (and probably yours) is to make a gun owner suffer because you don’t like them, justice and objectivity be damned. It’s just like a racist conservative.

            I can’t take your argument seriously.

            People are (rightfully) glad that reckless idiots travelling to other countries carrying literal explosive devices have been arrested, and your takeaway is there is… racism directed towards gun owners?

            You’re delusional.

              our takeaway is there is… racism directed towards gun owners?

              You and I both know this is not what I saying, why the dishonesty?

                You’re drawing parallels to racism because some people aren’t up in arms that these idiots with explosives have been arrested.

                That’s pretty damn close.

                  because some people aren’t up in arms

                    That’s your argument, and it’s absolutely ridiculous.

                    And it’s very funny that you’re calling me dishonest, when earlier in the thread I mentioned that nobody was being punished for actions of their state, and you claimed you never said that. I then pasted you saying exactly that and you went off talking about something tangentially related.
