doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Tariff thread locked

I appreciate all those that participated in getting my tariff thread locked. Thanks a lot. Seems we can't even have a civil discussion anymore. For those that can't discuss things civilly, please don't post on my threads.

Mike,

I agree with you. I do not understand the juvenile need to be rude to others, and to distract from the subject usefully under discussion. I follow the Double Gun Forum to learn more from a widespread, specialised community.

If I need controversy I can read the newspapers.

Well Mike, im from Canada and it is too bad it got locked...I agree with Trump,nail everyone who wont play along its the only way these countries will trade fairly back and fourth ...the free world has been living off the US tit for too long ..you would not believe the amount of Canadians I talk to who think trumps tariffs are costing us extra money ...they're too stupid to realize the Canadian counter tarriffs is what costs them out of pocket at the grocery and everywhere else try explaining it and you get a blank stare ! Our liquor corporation on the island is owned and ran by the provincial government ,during the elbows up horse shit ,they took an estimated 8million dollars of US booze off the shelves...product that the province already paid to put on the shelves, profit that wouldn't now be realized...the idiots put it back on the shelves during Christmas for what I figured was they needed warehouse space for the holiday rush ..well it flew off the shelves ! They said the profit would go to charity ...id say crap in one hand and wish in the other and see which gets filled first .
Be proud you have a leader putting your country first , or be like us taxed and regulated to death!

CJ, I lived/was stationed in England and Scotland for 9 years. The U.S. servicemembers did not have to pay many/much of the taxes the UK citizens had to. It made a huge difference. I could not live where I was taxed to death.

There's a few attack dogs here that have to jump all over anyone and anything that they fear disagrees with them.

There's some sort of baseline insecurity that drives it - they have to put others down so they can feel like they're in control. It's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and those that have it are quick to ascribe and project it onto others because they think it camouflages what they are. There are examples here in the last few days.

Many of them have to inflict their politics on the rest of us so they can feel better about themselves.

It's well known who they are, and it's disappointing that nothing is ever done about it.

You are overthinking this, and you're wrong. This is a gun enthusiast forum, and whether you or anyone else likes it or not, politics have become permanently intertwined with it. This is primarily because one political party, the Democrats, has made it their goal to eliminate the reason for this forum. You don't think board members voicing their support for Democrats is going to raise some hackles? That kind of diversity is not strength. And some people are just very upfront in opposing it. If you want to support policies and politicians that undermine the interests and activities of gun owners, it would probably be best to just keep it to yourself.

And some people just don't like each other.

And your "disappointment" is awfully hypocritical. Weren't you the guy trolling people and bragging about it, happily throwing gasoline on a fire? But it's different when you do it right?

This new Tariff's Thread, like the one that unfortunately got locked, is simply another Off-Topic Political Thread. No Double Guns were pictured or mentioned. Only complaints and some debate about the Tariffs.

I'm sorry the other Off-Topic Political Thread got locked, because for years there have been certain people who whine and cry that Political Threads and Posts will be the death of this Forum.

But please note that not one of them complained about this particular political topic, because it gave those with TDS another opportunity to criticize Trump. I keep asking folks to pay attention to the games that are played here, and that's why these petty hypocrites want to shut me up.

Mike, I asked you if the $1200.00 you paid was all Tariffs, or if it included the usual fees, shipping, and import costs. You chose to not answer. Nobody who complained about Trump's Tariffs mentioned that gun import fees are much higher than they once were, and that it was anti-gunners here and abroad who are responsible. If it was Trump who vastly increased those import costs, the usual TDS whiners would never stop crying about it.

When I buy a gun online on GunBroker, for example, I know with eyes wide open that my final cost will include shipping, sales tax, GunBroker fees on both buyer and seller, and FFL Transfer and Background check fees. Let's not forget that those FFL transfer fees are an additional cost imposed on nearly every gun buyer by anti-gun Democrats. I have to factor all of the fees and costs into the highest bid I am willing to make. Virtually everyone who chooses to buy a gun in the U.K. or any other country should also be aware of the added costs, including Tariffs. Nobody is holding the proverbial gun to anyone's head, and forcing them to buy from a country that has engaged in unfair trade practices with the U.S. for decades. Kudos to our Canadian neighbor C.J. Dawe for recognizing what many here can't.

Now you can all ask our newest personal attack dog Geoff why he is again triggered into starting more shit, so this Off-Topic Political discussion ends up getting locked too.

You were good all the way to here. I get that this is a gun enthusiast forum, and that political subjects will come up...and should be discussed.


Adults can discuss all of those things without resulting to name calling, insults and invective. That accomplishes nothing and changes no minds, ever. I'll leave it to you to think about who it benefits, and I Know you'll figure it out.

FWIW, I know bunches of Democrats who are staunch 2A supporters, and even more independents who are.


Trolling trolls - reflecting their behavior right back at them - isn't a bad thing. Particularly when the purpose is to call them out for acting like the churlish children they are.

There's no hypocrisy in that statement.

Wrong again, sweetie.

When you respond...and you did respond...it's you that's triggered.

Write that down.
