The rest of the civilized world wonders what the fuck is wrong with Americans to fetishize tools of violence as signs of masculinity.


76 percent of Americans support the second amendment as an individual right. The 'rest' of society that you refer to, is a relatively small sliver.

The most common use of a gun other than hunting or target practice is suicide.


Wrong again. The most common use of a gun other than hunting or target practice is defensive gun use. Many studies have been done about that, and even the studies with the lowest numbers still show higher numbers of defensive gun use than suicides and homicides combined.

My daily mockery of pathetic overcompensating white male middle-aged raging DU gun nuts herewith commences.


That's what...the third or fourth admission now, that you aren't actually here to discuss anything?

On edit: I love it when gun haters go full Rubio:

They only hang out here as trolls.


And theres the predictable projection. You just got done admitting being here only to troll, now you're accusing others of it.

They think that it's their mission to shout down and intimidate liberals. Not one of them is an honest democrat or liberal. They obviously don't support either dem presidential candidate because gun control is in the platform.



I dare say that most of US are far more liberal than most of the gun control folks. As in classic liberal. Whats more, we pro-gun folks are closer to the party platform as a group, than you on the anti-gun side.


So ask yourself why a bunch of screaming, hateful, uncompromising gun nutters would settle in on a democratic community website.


Poor bongbong. The only ones "screaming hateful and uncompromising", are you anti-gun loons, and heres the proof:

The answer is that they are wimps and bullies.


And yet they don't need to ignore opposing viewpoints, or create a group where those opposing viewpoints are silenced, nor do they need to 'ignore' anyone.

You're the bully.

Also it makes them go nuts with impotent rage when they can't intimidate someone by shouting out their usual NRA rhetorical talking point bullshit.


I don't see you standing in the way, stopping anyone. I do see you with your fingers in your ears using the ignore function. Oh well, if you think that makes it all go away, please continue.

And when that someone knows and has experience with guns and violence.


An empty inference.

Hi RKBA boys. I have you mostly on ignore but that's only because I don't care what you have to say, not because I'm scared of your widdle guns.


Hi bongbong. I don't care in the least that you have me on ignore, because the rest of the world will still see your screeds shredded.

I fear neither open discussion, nor your ignore gambit, nor your use of the alert button.
