Yeah, everyone knows that a _real_ man befriends and then betrays his prey. ---

Maybe he didn’t shoot it (or choke it to death) because it wasn’t black. ---

He claimed his pre-teen grandchildren ran a perfectly legal business selling water outside the state fair, making oodles of cash. Including somehow securing an apparently exclusive common victualers license at that prime location. As opposed to, you know, a corrupt cop securing this monopoly for them. ---

I certainly believe that you shoot them\*, and that you take great pleasure in doing so. \* - For those who haven’t been following the conversation, “them” in this case refers to deer, but really, when it comes to @pkbites shooting things, you can substitute anything for “them”, and it will accurately describe our gun-totin’ hero who seems to accurately self-describe as a real-life shoot-em-up Yosemite Sam type, and is proud of it. The thing that seems to have escaped the notice of our gun-totin’ hero is that nobody actually ever dies in Bugs Bunny cartoons, but in real life, they do. ---

Plus I’m the only guy in the country that sells guns in his store. Luckily the Dunhams that moved into my town a few years ago doesn’t sell guns any more. They were a major pain because I had to adjust my prices to compete. Oh wait. They do sell guns still. 300 per week out of just one store per the manager I know. I eagerly await to read the pitting of that national chain. ---

> [@pkbites](#): > > I’m the only guy in the country that sells guns in his store. I didn’t say you were, Sam. I never said that you were a statistically significant contributor to the gun carnage in America. You’re not. You’re just a pathetic small-time contributor to it. But you are, nonetheless, choosing to contribute to gun violence instead of doing something enlightened and socially constructive to bring America up to the same level of civilization as the rest of the world. ---

It’s keeping him and his corrupt police cohorts in business. He sells the guns that kill people, the cops then feel useful because they have a crime to investigate, and guns and drugs to confiscate and keep. Then the criminals have to find someone who has a gun bought from his gun shop or is willing to buy them one. Rinse and repeat. It’s like how the comic book character Daredevil was a genius for becoming a defense attorney. He beats up the criminals and turns them over to the cops, then defends them and gets them freed on technicalities. That way he can go beat the shit out of them again. ---

I’ve never seen a post from you where you are anything other than dismissive about background checks and other measures, so if you are not selling directly to the cartels that can only be coincidence. Or, reading your post more closely, you’re probably giving better advice on how to remove identifying marks from your products. (not “_I know my customers, I go above and beyond to ensure I’m not selling to criminals_” or something like that; but “_nothing has ever been traced back to me_”) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-pkbites/950075.md?page=15) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-pkbites/950075.md?page=17)
