Extremism... heh. In this day and age, if you make a stand against the status quo, you are an extremist... so be it.
I don't mind.
Just my 2 cents.
"Being called a racist by a Liberal is a badge of honor."
Again, you seem to be arguing that anyone who disagrees with you would be fully justified in killing you.

Go fuck yourself.
On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

Righty-Oh!
Here in America, we are the epitome of the well-armed society. We have more guns here than we have people here. I haven't noticed any sudden outbreak of politeness in this country as a result.
Similarly, Wulfie is armed. So am I. We're not very nice to each other, are we? I have no fear of Wulfie coming to kill me for my words (*HE* claims he'd defend with his life my right to use my words), and I doubt he's worried about me tracking him down and killing him.
I can only conclude that he is wrong in his hypothesis and his conclusion.

But that is neither here nor there, if you believe that it is your right to possess firearms to prevent tyranny, things like increased in murder rates and politeness or otherwise are not the issue, surely?
Again, it takes a "foreigner" to show us the reality of our situation.
Thanks, Magons!

Waaaaal, that was easy, since Anthony said it all for me. Only HALF grounded, Anthony?? I don't think you've been looking hard enough.
I repeatedly feel as though your arguments are half-grounded in heroic fantasies where Just words and Just actions are upheld with Bullets and Balls, and the shameful Bullying Cowards of society fall before the Blazing Barrels of you and your allies.
Every time you propose a change to society, it sounds like the byproduct of such a fantasy.
At no point does it become apparent to you that you could easily step into the role of the villain in this play, without changing your either your actions or demeanor or attitude. The bully and the hero are interchangeable in your story. You can be both. Wulf insults the honor of a lady, and Wulf gets shot down by Wulf, thus ending the crass rudeness of Wulf and upholding the social responsibility of Wulf. It's a Fistful of Datas, and you can play all the parts.
The society you describe is chaotic and murderous and cruel. And, thankfully, it is imaginary.
When the thought of shooting someone for dishonoring you is appalling and horrible, you'll have the responsibility you need to go with that right you enjoy.
When the thought of solving a problem by killing it makes you decidedly uncomfortable, you'll have the humanity needed to solve human problems.
Every time you imagine shooting down a bevy of villains, and grin with delighted relish at the thought, remember to chastise yourself. You are fostering the worst parts of the human condition, not the best. You are flattering the demon on your shoulder.
Perhaps you'll be forced to hurt someone, maybe even kill them, before the rest of your days are done. But if that thought represents a delightful departure from your humdrum existence, then something is wrong with you and you need to take a hard look at yourself. I don't understand how you endured the tragic experiences you allude to from your neighborhood and your youth and came out of it thinking that life ought to be like a Spaghetti Western or a Samurai Sunday movie of the week.
Life is deeper than an action-flick cliché.
Your entire premise is a fallacy, Wulf, and a fantasy...a faltasy, if you will. But I know you're impossible to reason with in this respect, so I'll move on to more interesting things.
But I DO love "being called a liberal by a racist is a badge of honor." Well turned!

Wait, if "guns don't kill people, people do," then it shouldn't matter if there are more or less guns, right?

Oh come now, we all know he's just desperately seeking an excuse to gather up a bunch of folk just like him and apply a rope to those who aren't, preferably at twenty to one odds on his side.

Jackals: "Finally, we have a strong leader ready to put those malcontents in their places! Where do I sign up?" Jackals are like Lemmings and Snakes: they eagerly collaborate with the villain because they think his campaign of terror and genocide are just causes. Whether it's out of hate, fanaticism, or ignorance, they prefer the villain's despotism to a more benevolent regime. Usually they're harmless once the villain is dethroned: their prejudice comes out only when the bad guys are in power.
There's only two ways to deal with other people, reason, and force.
Those who CHOOSE force, because they are *unwilling* to reason, like Jackal-boy here, are bullies, they want the power in their fist, in their horde, so they can make other peoples decisions for them, whether they like it or not - the very essence of the worst of Government, and the core ill he likes to accuse everyone else of to avoid having to face the awful horrors of introspection, while he whines about what the world and everyone else "owes" him as he flames others for having an entitlement complex.

Umm... Kay, well, this is going to make Wulf blow up again, so I'm going to switch modes from screwing around here, to being a complete moron, and stepping into the middle of a dog fight.
Frem, it wasn't right what Wulf accused you of, I'm not going to repeat it 'cause it was bad and over a line. He knows better than that, was grabbing something someone else said once in the heat of the moment and flinging it at you. Get mad, call someone a, well, you know. It's not right, but it happens, like when someone uncharacteristically calls someone else drunken or death-loving.
He said it probably because he feels like he lost you as an ally, a defender, and feels betrayed. I know it's in your beliefs to not help someone who decides they don't want help, so I can get why you've made that choice too.
Wulf says things I don't think are right about blacks and latinos, and I know I'm going to get slammed for saying that out right, but it's how I think and how I feel. You get a lot farther in the world giving people the benefit of the doubt, I think, than dishing out blame.
But even though he says some things, and I think it might be for shock value, about him thinking lots/most/all(?) of them are bad eggs, and even though he falls back on guns as a solution...
Ultimately, I'm not sure any of us really know Wulf, so I'm not sure it's fair to call him or anyone else around here a jackboot. If someone around here just kept calling everyone on the opposition side a Nazi, we'd all start making fun of them.
None of us can know who's going to be a jackboot until the time comes and the brownshirts are running around. I hope that'll be a long time off since, and I think, even the most adamant and argumentative of us around here, the ones attacking everyone else for not thinking the same way, I think none of us really wants to see anything like that happen.
So that's my two cents. I expect you'll all go back to tearing each other apart now, just let me make sure I have my pillow fortress and marshmallow gun.

Says the fuck nut that was just threatening to remorselessly kill people here with his tire iron the other day. What exactly were you going to kill them for Frem, was it that you didn't like what they were saying. Go out and ride your skateboard boy your own hypocrisy is starting to bore me.
