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:

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 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 interesting that you've read that first paragraph and interpreted it as a suggestion of one thing, then read the paragraph immediately below it that could have suggested the opposite, and not only completely ignore that second paragraph, but also fail to realize that they were hypothetical situations to explain a point. Everyone understood that but you.

Sure, force a specific interpretation of my words that you've specifically cherry picked to make you sound right so you can feel better about yourself. It ain't gonna be true and we'll both know that whether you like it or not, 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 here to witness the level of mental gymnastics you're capable of anyway. Go ahead, treat yourself.
