Telling people with guns that they’re stupid and that they should do what they’re told and surrender their weapons because you know better isn’t going to get you very far.
What exactly makes a AR-15 or AK-47 styled rifle “high-powered”? Compared to what?
A knife, or a hammer, or a swimming pool.
Ha. Ha. Now, do you have an actual answer?
OK. Good thing it isn’t my job to explain to stupid people how stupid they are.
If it were my responsibility to address America’s gun stupidities, I might want to borrow a gun from one of the stupid gun nuts and blow my brains out.
… Or I suppose I could change lanes without signalling and save a step.
Larry Pratt says thatthe Colorado Springs shooter went after the Planned Parenthood clinic because he knew it would be full of unarmed liberals. So, unarmed liberals are fair game?
Can’t tell if this has been covered yet I’m getting the shootings mixed up now.
Hey everyone, let’s all laugh at Hentor, the stupid liberal, who’s too stupid and ignorant about guns to know that the 5.56mm or 7.62mm round that most automatic rifles are chambered for isn’t considered “high powered,” and is just a standard rifle round, even possibly on the low end compared to a lot of hunting rounds. Unless he’s comparing them to handguns or carbine rifles chambered for handgun rounds, but then he’s still stupid and ignorant, because you can kill just as many people with a low powered carbine. This guy is so stupid and ignorant about guns, next thing you know he’ll be calling magazines CLIPS and then we can REALLY let him have it! This nitpicking about firearms is fun and amazing and totally never gets dull or repetitive.
Gun sales spiked on Black Friday.
This is somebody’s idea of Christmas shopping?!
It’s one of the best things to do, really. Sadly, in this case, I was not the author of the words. It was NBC’s Pete Williams whose nit Lumpy is desperate to pick.
Right, and since it isn’t complicated or arcane, one would expect the people who want to regulate or ban the things could be arsed to learn even the basics of what they are talking about. One would expect that, but one would be disappointed. One would also be perplexed by the obvious pride they take in their ignorance on the matter.
Acknowledged, but you’re the one who brought it up. It’s a legitimate “nit” to pick because of the widespread misconception that these rounds are somehow specially deadly. It’s why “assault weapon” bans keep coming up despite the fact that statistically handguns are the most widely misused firearm. It’s stupidly wrong, the way people think that plutonium glows fluorescent green in the dark or that antibiotics will cure a cold. And anyone who would use the phrase has lost credibility in an honest debate about guns.
I quoted a statement about how this was another shooter who would pass background checks. Your objection is not only irrelevant and inappropriately addressed to me, but insanely overblown. What the fuck does it have to do with the point?
Why is Pete Williams no longer credible? That’s just totally fucking stupid. I mean, really fucking stupid.
He’s simply throwing chaff into the air and shouting a lot.
It’s equivalent to someone pointing out that you missed an apostrophe in a word, and therefore your entire argument is magically null and void. Very juvenile.
But what was the color of the fringe? That means everything.
Why the everloving fuck would three people shoot up a center for people with disabilities?
I can guess what the solution is (in some people’s minds). More guns.
And of course, even with this new massacre in California, pro-gun filth will keep cherry-picking their data to show guns don’t kill people.
… If only those folks with developmental disabilities were allowed to buy guns, this tragedy could have been avoided…
You know, just once, after one of those occurrences, I’d like to see a family member of a victim as a conservative lawmaker publicly and directly what they’re going to do to prevent events like this in the future. Then I’d like that lawmaker to tell them, to their face, the truth of what they really think and plan, something like: “I’m very sorry for your loss, but your loved one’s death is the price we pay for a free society and our Constitution of laws.”
I’d like to see what happens. I’d at least have a modicum of respect for that lawmaker to actually not hide behind empty euphemisms for once.
California has strict gun laws. Criminals always follow the law. -_-
