someone here tried to make it look like it was all staged up.How did we go from that calm and polite thread on gun control to this?

Who cares. He is entitled to his opinion. Show him why to think otherwise if you think he is wrong.someone here tried to make it look like it was all staged up.
I never said he was or was not wrong. All I did was answer another guys question.Who cares. He is entitled to his opinion. Show him why to think otherwise if you think he is wrong.
And, I was just stating why that answer was not good enough.I never said he was or was not wrong. All I did was answer another guys question.

So, one person said something you didn't like and the whole site is home to "KotakuInAction/Gamer's Gate"? (whatever that even means).You should care. But it's not always worth your time to prove people wrong. Time has value.
If you had a prove every single conspiracy nut wrong (and those nuts are not exactly known for being RECEPTIVE to reason), then you'd be posting walls of text until the cows come home, with zero result. I mean, just look at the 9/11 truther movement. Still going strong, despite huge efforts by reasonable people to talk them out of their confusion.
But it's getting pretty clear that NeoGAF has become a second home to some type of strain from the KotakuInAction/Gamer's Gate. I mean, in the first page of every thread, there are these posts that just make you go 'yuck'.
'The exact definition of assault weapon will need to be determined. But we should all be able to agree that the civilian version of the very deadly weapon that the Army issued to me should certainly qualify.'
'Yeah no. An AR15 is no more deadly than any other firearm civilians can obtain, it's simply one of the cheaper options depending on where/what you buy.
'Assault weapons' are not semi-autos. Stop this.
More people in the US die from handguns than rifles. Unless the average civilian is walking around in full kevlar vests 24/7, getting shot with a pistol caliber round 9mm or above is going to do serious damage to soft tissue just like a rifle caliber round is. Unless you get immediate treatment from either you're liable to bleed out.Bullshit. These rifles allow for accurate shooting of crowds from 100 yards away and can shoot off 40 bullets with upgraded magazines before having to reload.
But more importantly in challenging your point, assault rifles are far deadlier than handguns as well documented by radiology scans of bullet wounds here...

There's a lot of things the Moderation Team and Neogaf as a community needs to improve on. An honest attempt to achieve this is been made. Criticsm is taken to heart... at least the constructive one.You are an idiot and Neogaf is a fucking joke.
God conservatives are such little crybabies. Triggered by a high schooler.

i don't think your insults were warranted in this case. Upon entering a discussion forum you must be prepared to stumble upon opinions or views you don't agree with, some well founded others not so much, just like in real life. So we should try to tackle these views in a reasonable and civil manner and let facts speak for themselves.
Is not about censoring the things we don't want to hear but to confront and debate them in pursue of the truth.
The problem is that its hard to disprove ‘feelings’. Like kotzen ducha claims ita fake because of his ‘guts’ while we can all throw facts at the computer screen thats a whole other category that can’t beat feelings. Ie, flat earthers, holocaust denials, people who put pineapples in pizza.
What facts close the door to the possibility that these kids are being used to promote an agenda?
Never have I seen a shooting reaction be so glossy and rehearsed. It feels inauthentic and I'm open to evidence either way. The mainstream media isn't exactly trustworthy.
High school kids have the capability to be really well articulate and clear. Not all of them are unintelligible, awkward idiots. It could also sound rehearsed, because the girl had rehearsed it before hand? Maybe you got used to Trumps on the fly form of speaking.What facts close the door to the possibility that these kids are being used to promote an agenda?

Another label. I'm now a Trump supporter too.
Anything else y'all want to put on me?

This group seems highly fabricated.
David Hogg and ilk have gotten more airtime than anybody else and are hamming for selfies like the cast of Real World.
This is the true story... of seven strangers... picked to politically capitalize on a mass shooting... and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real...The Real World.
What is my side?Please keep talking like this. Please shows the world how monstrous you are. I want the your side to be represented EXACTLY like this.
This post is monstrous. Absolutely monstrous.
What’s especially sad is that you have never interacted with articulate and thoughtful young people, so this speech sounds foreign to you.
God damn...it’s fucking depressing to think that someone can be so broken, so cynical, so provincial that you can’t recognize moving sincerity when you see it.
I see children like this all the time. These are what the kids of successful, loving parents look like. These are the children you get when they are raised with compassion and reason.

I wonder if 'she' (i dont want to assume her gender) has ever talked to a gun owner or shot a gun before? All I heard was 'im muh AP gov calss my teacher indoctrinate... i mean taught me guns are bad.' And 'muh Australia' she literally said NOTHING new. How is this speech good? Its poorly written with no sources or any opposing information? She is shilling, just like the D's did literally seconds after this shooting was happening. SMH Good job CNN! /s
Clearly her feelings took over, like who was she even yelling at?
Great you proved my point, you have no idea how bump stocks work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_firearm I suggest you educate your self. Yeah bumps make guns 'act' like an auto but it doesn't MAKE them magically turn into a fully auto machine gun.
Who post and supports Alt-Right material and subscribes to their thinking
BOTTOM LINE, who gives a shit if they come off as inauthentic? Seriously, who cares? If it helps to bring attention to the freaking problem, which is what is happening, then that is A GOOD THING.
Unbelievable.
So people who talk about assault rifles should be honest and say that they want to ban all semi auto rifles regardless of color. Which is what Australia did.
As far as gun control, there is really no logic or consistency to it, it's whatever the masters decide to allow you on a whim. Let us compare UK and Australia.
For example in Australia all semi auto rifles and shotguns are banned regardless of caliber and there are significant restrictions on handguns but you still can own one.
Also, even pump action shotguns are banned. But you can buy a pump action rifle (unless it has a military look see below).
Moreover in Australia they ban any gun that LOOKS like a "military weapon".
For example this kind of bolt action rifle. It's a "tactical" looking bolt action - heavy bench shooting target gun that would be extremely difficult to use in mass shooting, a light hunter rifle would be much easier to use.
I wish someone would just come out and say killing kids is okay because the number of kids that die due to crazies shooting up the place is a lot smaller than the kids not affected by it and stop beating around the bush. We already accept a number of deaths will occur to cars, alcohol, etc might as well add guns to the list.
The number of guns in circulation and the number of kids killed is basically a statistical anomaly. Just accept that gun loons will beget a small number of loons that will steal their guns and kill people and move on.
In a perfect world there'd be no guns, but here we are, so whatever.
Because it can and does undermine the entire discussion.
If it is found that they are being paraded around to push an agenda as opposed to it just being organic, it will set things back years.
These assault rifles could be defined as anything that allows for accurate shooting of crowds from 100 yards away and can shoot over 12 bullets before having to reload (modded AR15s can shoot 40 bullets without having to reload giving less opportunity for good guys to come close enough to the shooter to stop them).
But perhaps the most scientific way to define assault rifles specifically as those that are more deadlier than handguns is well documented by radiology scans of bullet wounds in the below article...

You should probably talk less about Australian gun laws because most of what you've said is wrong.
A/B licenses are relatively easy to get.
C licenses aren't impossible either just have further restrictions.
Also appears that the particular weapon you pointed out isn't banned
But what agenda does anyone think they're pushing? Honestly asking.
Also, how would these kids not come off as being paraded around? They're trying to get as much exposure as possible, obviously. Pretty hard to do that and have it still seem organic.
So what was wrong?
Category C is pretty damn hard.

Military looking guns like this one are banned in some states and not others. So if I lived in Brisbane and wanted to move to Sydney I would have to sell it or get rid of it some other way.
Wide sweeping gun reform that would either A) be completely useless i.e "assault weapon" bans or B) completely negate the 2nd amendment.
I can't say for certain but behind the scenes photos of them apparently cheering and smiling definitely doesn't help. I know when something has happened in my life that was horrible it takes weeks on weeks to start feeling happy enough to do that.
Several mentions of things being banned when they aren't banned and simply have further restrictions.
