How does a person handle Facebook gun nut friends?

[damnedifIknow]

I got this from Facebook, it was posted by a FB friend. I personally find this disturbing and a tad on the insane side.

1. I unsubscribe

Sometimes I'll cut the cord entirely and unfriend, but usually keeping their garbage from appearing on my news feed suffices.

2. Unfriend them!

[damnedifIknow]

4. I just did.

I can't handle blatant ignorance anymore.

18. Might try slamming them with your own point of view

I have had friends shove Romney down my throat, so I just shoved back, showed them how he lied to them. They actually got pissed, which is a good thing. I told them things like Romney would be sending our family members to die in Iran, which is the truth. They didn't like being told that, they thought I was being insensitive. I started putting Obama organizations on and sending that stuff to them. Eventually they stopped their BS. Face book is what you make it, it is really good for family and friends as long as you respect others and don't try to sell them snake oil. LOL!

3. don't use facebook

6. ^^^ this works!

I deleted my facebook acount a few weeks ago. I feel that I am now a lot more tolerable to be around.

7. That's what I'm going to do.

I've had it with these type of posts on FB. These types of posts actually raise my blood pressure. Bye FB.

5. I don't engage them on political issues with which I disagree,

and keep their 'insanity' in mind.

9. This is good advice

this way you are aware of their nuttiness. No need to engage. You can always limit their feed.

8. I hide the posts I find offensive and/or stupid.

There's a certain sick curiosity that keeps me from unfriending them or clicking "hide all posts."

10. yes just like adam lanza's mother did ... oh ... oops

12. simple solution

I do not do facebook/twitts, or gun "nuts&quot gun owners who parrot NRA)

[Quantess]

13. I have the Social Fixer app

It's indispensible! You can hide posts instantly with one click, avoid seeing the friend's activity box on the right side of the screen, and it tells you who unfriended you.

That way, you don't have to unfriend anyone, you just hide their annoying stuff.

[Bonhomme Richard]

14. Lol, I argue with them, show how......

Ignorant they are and then they delete the post altogether.

[bongbong]

15. It helps you

You'll know to avoid him/her in person, as he/she could very well kill or injure you, on purpose or by accident.

[LWolf]

16. On FB?

When a friend expresses something I disagree with on fb, I don't like or respond to it.

When they do it in person, I listen, I let them know that I heard them, and I quietly and respectfully disagree, or I don't respond to the content at all.

17. They are not taking responsiblity for the fact that their

fetish takes the life and liberty of so many others.

I have no problem with guns or gun owners. Where I draw the line is with people who have an absurd fetish that they deserve the right to mow down crowds of people at a time. Take responsibility, if you want this capability then you also are giving it to the assortment of unstable individuals who shouldn't. It's on you! I personally think your a moron and immoral fool for putting so many people at risk because of your love affair with a machine; but this country has dealt with worse realities than gun nuts.

If you are afraid and need protection get a shotgun for Christ sake. I can't tell you how many range rats I have known that take forever to line up their sights. 3 seconds is forever. If you don't pull your gun within 5 degrees of your target, every time you hold it up, plus your heart will be pounding, and mind racing your dead dumb ass.

19. With tongs?

Yeah, I know...some here consider me a "gun nut" because I'm one of millions of leftists who happen to own a couple...but I couldn't resist the opportunity for a smartassed remark.

20. Ask if Josiah Tate is a good guy with a gun or a bad guy with a gun.

Anderson County, SC-- A man who is sworned to protect and serve his community is morning the loss of his child.

That's because investigators said the Deputy's two-year-old boy died after accidentally shooting himself. The boy allegedly found his father's service gun and pulled the trigger.
