Let me be [s]first[/s] [i]second[/i] to say:

[center][size=5][b]IBTL![/b][/size=5][/center]

Damnit!  Taxman beat me!

Why all this?  We know what the word means, and I hate to say this, but it might honestly hurt and offend some of our black members, and you should consider that.

IBTL

when did g.o.'s become the niggers of society?
when did this happen?

didn't gun owners used to shoot niggers?? (ok boys, now it's locked!)
ibtl

actaully i thought about what i just wrote, and realized thats a mass generalization, and a bad one at that.

it is a curious statement none the less.

Does anyone remember when the NAACP was trying to force the resignation for a politician that openly used the word NIGGARDLY?  They were so "inedumacated" that they did not even know the definition!


nig·gard·ly    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (ngrd-l)
adj.
1. Grudging and petty in giving or spending.
2. Meanly small; scanty or meager: left the waiter a niggardly tip.

niggard·li·ness n.
niggard·ly adv.

IBTL

It is only offensive/derogitory when used in an assault, like by calling someone a NIGGER.

so does that mean we need a civil rights movement to get our rights back?  or that we're downtrodden and discriminated against?

oh, the IBTL fun ... [:D]

If I rename the topic to "The N word" it would probably still be offensive.

Gun owners will have to go some to warrant that assertion......that and a few hundred years of history.  That statement is hyperbole, plain and simple.

Blacks were the first gunowners discriminated against and it's still happening to them in the big cities.  An "average" black citizen in many cities has a more valid reason to CCW than Sen. Diane Feinstein.

How true!

[size=6]So everyone on this board (who should own a gun) is a NIGGER![/size=6]

IBTL

Buh bye, have a nice day.

Oh yeah.

Like this thread is going to go anywhere.

IBTL.

So wrong.

Even [b]I[/b] have to give this one an IBTL!

So...why is this topic wrong?
Are you guys infected with the political correctness bug?
There is NOTHING really offensive here.

I totally agree with that quote... Everyone's dumping their problems on LAW ABIDING gun owners...

Edit: I guess you can call gun-grabbers the KKK of legislature.

Bah, now let us form the Panther's equivilant

They already exist - VPC, Brady, etc.
They smear their lies and propadganda with emotion to instill [b]fear and hatred[/b] into the sheeple.

Oh Boy! (IBTL!!!)[banana][8]

If gun owners are the new N's, then I am proudly one!

IBTL troll-boy.

My first IBTL....im so proud!

Sorry, for I am a fool; But what does IBTL stand for? (BAH! Make fun, w/e. I'm new to the gun-maniac net-ring)
