    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.

            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.

                  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.

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

                    No, what’s ridiculous is you lying by claiming I said they are racist, and then turning around and lying and saying that I’m on people for not being “up in arms” about it, when all I’ve been doing is pointing out the injustice of the prison terms. I’m not even up up in arms about it. I just think it’s wrong. But, don’t worry, I won’t lose any sleep if these people do jail time.

                    You keep flailing around trying to make my argument ridiculous, but all it does is reveal that you’re uninterested in actually thinking about this, but instead just making up reasons in order to claim I’m wrong.

                    mentioned that nobody was being punished for actions of their state, and you claimed you never said that

                    Yeah, because I said people want them to be punished because of actions of their state, not that they were being punished for actions of their state. At first I thought this was probably just a case of poor reading comprehension, but in light of your current dishonesty, I’m not so sure anymore. And, besides, even if I was being dishonest, that doesn’t preclude you from being dishonest.
