Dimwits Panic Over Satirical Piece Claiming Facebook Submits Gun Photos To DHS

Living in a perpetual state of panic and paranoia, just more evidence of the truth:

"Conservatives are losing their minds over a story that alleges that Facebook is submitting the names of people posing in pictures with guns to Homeland Security. But is it true?

America's 2nd Amendment fanatics have been fuming for years that the fedril gobmint was plotting to confiscate their precious firearms. They have fretted over imaginary conspiracies hatched by President Obama to disarm the nation's citizenry in order to render them incapable of rising up against the socialist tyranny that he was determined to impose. Well now they are shivering in their survivalist boots because of the latest revelation to be unveiled by the liberal media: "Facebook Submits Names Of Users Posing In Pictures With Guns To Homeland Security."

1. Anything that puts them in a panic pleases me greatly...n/t

[Fred Sanders]

2. More good stuff at the link.....

Panicky Blubbering

"This is the sort of panicky blubbering that results in Ammosexuals falling for idiotic fables about the government buying billions of bullets for use against American patriots who try to oppose the coming dictatorship. Even Sarah Palin chirped in that this was a plot by the Feds to put down massive civil unrest. And it goes to show that crackpots who adhere to wildly extremist conspiracy theories will believe anything.

Just for the record, in the six years that Obama has been president there has not been a single bill passed by Congress to limit the rights of gun owners. Even though there were plenty of incidents that ought to have inspired such legislation (Gabby Giffords, the Newtown, CT murder of 20 schoolchildren, the Aurora, CO theater massacre, etc.), none were produced. The only bills relating to guns that Obama signed expanded the rights of gun enthusiasts in national parks."

16. So you support the AWB's swift & humiliating demise?

It's really too bad that gun controllers didn't listen to the more politically astute & rights supporting Democrats.

Could have saved the party from an ass kicking.

Oh well, I'm confident that the lesson has been (re)learned.

5. Fully agree (nt)

[Eleanors38]

8. I'm so panicked I...

facebook. What's that?

[ileus]

3. Dumbasses are as easy as 9/11 truthers to hoax.

As for me I stopped posting firearm pictures of the family when my SIL informed us the sheriffs office and DHS used facebook posts to build cases with.

[malokvale77]

6. Short of quoting your whole post...

Did you just call yourself a dumbass?

[ileus]

12. Negative Ghostrider...

[Fred Sanders]

14. Well, he stopped posting firearms pictures with his family, so he is an ex-dumbass I guess.

[blueridge3210]

4. I've known several parolees

get themselves jammed up after posting pictures of themselves holding real and/or replica firearms. Simply amazing.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

7. Gun grabbers froth at the mouth and claim 90 million gun owners are will become

mass killers as soon as a gun takes possession of their minds -- but then there's this OP deriding people for "living in fear."

[DonP]

9. Help me out here ... my memory fails me

Wasn't it just a few months ago when a bunch of gun grabbers went totally ape shit (as they are often wont to do) over some High School Seniors holding guns in their graduation pictures in Wyoming or Idaho?

Naw, must have been somebody else. Gun controllers are never emotional and represent all that is logical and even handed

[Duckhunter935]

19. Why yes they did

and if I remember correctly, they freaked out that those pictures were taken at a school and they were not.

[NYC_SKP]

10. Meh. People on DU often fall for an Onion article. This is no different.

I'm not even sure if this OP fits the SOP of the forum.

[SkatmanRoth]

11. Who needs a submission when we've got the NSA?

With the NSA mining the 'Metadata' from every electronic transaction, why would they need Facebook to submit anything?

Post a picture of a gun, and the NSA catalogs the post and puts that information into a special folder for that person.

Like this post is now cataloged in my special folder.

[Fred Sanders]

13. THIS^^^^^....this paranoia and intimate object obsession...on display...

[Eleanors38]

15. YAARGHH! My God, he done been revealed!!

[SkatmanRoth]

17. Where were you on the night of December 9?

Never mind, we already know.

[NYC_SKP]

18. That's a beautiful piece of history, right there, Mr. Sanders. A .45 Colt Buntline shown w/o stock.

It's real purty, and can be had with a stock to become a rifle.

I don't recall ever seeing it with the brass work, but they are SWEET!

[Duckhunter935]

20. wow, thats a pistol

[Fred Sanders]

22. Yes, look at how hard the metal appears, and slick, and the long shaft, the hammer cocked......

[DonP]

23. Typical gun control fan, ignorant and wrong

You might want to seek therapy for your obvious sexual obsession with objects and your projection of your issues on others.

And you might want to also learn the difference between a cocked single action and an uncocked one.

But you won't and you'll keep spouting nonsense.

[sarisataka]

24. Have you heard the term

Objectum Sexuality

pronounced emotional and often romantic desire towards developing significant relationships with particular inanimate objects.

It is a disorder distinct from fetishism

Some object-sexual individuals also often believe in animism, and sense reciprocation based on the belief that objects have souls, intelligence, and feelings, and are able to communicate.

I'm not a mental health professional but I would suggest you consider broaching this topic with your doctor at the next opportunity.

[Duckhunter935]

25. you seem to have issues

All you seem to be able to think about is sexual things.

That pistol is an amazing piece of workmanship and must be interesting to aim and fire without the stock portion.

27. You must be really entertaining on a golf course...

"Yes, look at how hard the metal appears, and slick, and the long shaft, the hammer cocked......"

You must be really entertaining on a golf course. Or fishing. Or playing baseball. Or flying an aircraft with a center stick. Or building something with a drill or a screwdriver. Or writing something with a pencil or a pen. And if you think a firearm looks phallic, you must really be impressed by that Orion/Delta IV launch this past week...

If this looks phallic to you, then you might be a gun control activist...or else you need to see a urologist stat:

21. Fred

You're like the misinformed uncle we all love.

Short on facts but you have to respect your consistency at being wrong.
