Yes, let's not rush into to taking any sort of precaution to protect our kids. Much better to have this wild West situation we have going on now just in case me, Clyde, and Peepaw need to go toe-to-toe with the US Government in some sort of hypothetical hyperbolic David vs Goliath scenario. Totes makes fucking sense, dunnit.

As a gun owner, I recognize how absolutely lax the gun laws are. Let them make it harder to buy a gun. It won't hurt you. At least then I know fucking "Off-His-Meds" Jeb down the street from me won't be able to buy an AR-15 and mow down my family because my weeds keep "blowing on his lawn" or whatever inane shit he constantly yells as me about.

Maybe you could stop being susceptible to all of the gun lobbyists arguments and learn to think for yourself at some point. I don't know. That's just my 2¢. Maybe once you have a kid or grandkid going through school your tune will change.

Exactly. Let's not even raise a finger to do the minimum amount to stop guns getting into the hands of impulsive kids or men to begin with...lets just give a gun to every motherfuckin' buttwipe out there and let everyone shoot at whoever they want. Eventually one person will be left, with nothing but a ruined earth to comfort themselves. And maybe that's truly what should happen, poetically justice speaking.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
