This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean if someone makes death threats to someone else they should absolutely have their guns taken away.
The problem is that the system is open to abuse. Anyone who wants to get back at someone can make up allegations and have their guns taken away with no due process.
But on the other hand if you make this process too difficult you can allow someone who is actually dangerous to keep their guns.
The thing is, this isn't shown in the original post. Also, making death threats on its own is illegal, red flag laws aren't required if the person making the report has proof.
Said victim could even get a restraining order if they were worried about violence, which won't completely assure safety but will go down a process that actually uses due process and doesn't violate anyone's rights.
I never said that Anon made any death threat and the concern you are raising is covered in the rest of my comment.
This is a clear suggestion that Anon was making death threats. Don't be a liar
I find if funny that you're locked on that first paragraph and interpret it as a suggestion that Anon made death threats and completely ignore the paragraph right below it that would be just as valid as a suggestion that the threat allegations were fraudulent. They are called hypothetical situations to explain a point. Everyone understood that but you.
Sure, force a specific interpretation of my words that makes you sound right so you can feel better about yourself. It ain't gonna be true, but judging from the fact that you just came back 4 days later for this, I don't think this fact will bother you. This is a 4 day old thread and nobody is left to see the level of mental gymnastics you're doing here anyway. Go ahead, treat yourself.
Your second paragraph did not suggest the opposite
You claim you were deliberately being vague, then get mad at someone allegedly misinterpreting what you said? The solution is to not be vague, not to gaslight people by claiming you didn't say something you absolutely did. Grow up.
1- The second paragraph could very well be interpreted as suggesting that hypothetical threat allegations being fraudulent and therefore suggest the opposite. This is downright bad faith from your part.
2- I'm being mad at someone calling me a "liar" and trying to continue to force their own erroneous interpretation of my own words after I immediately clarified it for them and who keeps doubling down on it even after further explanation.
3- You call it "vague" and yet still claim that I "absolutely did" mean what you think I meant, once again giving yourself a completely unwarranted benefit of the doubt on the matter against the now overwhelming evidence.
4- Everyone else interpreted it correctly except you.
5- Why the fuck would I even accuse Anon of making death threats when they were never mentioned in the article to begin with? It is much telling that this is where your mind went immediately.
6- You came here looking for something to get angry about and thought you found it by diagonally reading through my comment and jumped to conclusions. Now that I called you out on it you decided that it had to be my fault instead and are going further down the rabbit hole of inventing all sorts of malicious intents from my part.
7- You don't have to admit it to me, only yourself. Because you will be blocked as soon as I have sent this. You will be the first one I've ever blocked on Lemmy over a comment argument too. I thought I had left this crap behind me when I dumped Reddit years ago but some seem to have followed. Which by the way also refutes your new unsubstantiated accusation of having made my original "deliberately vague" as if I had created some sort of trap to attract people like you. You can now rest assured that I don't want people like you in my life.
