Our country's fetishizing of guns is revolting

[RobDownSouth]

Figured you were losing the case for cars so a convenient switch to Japanese monster movies was in order?

A reminder that Godzilla serves as a warning to post World War II Japan and the world on the horrors of the indiscriminate use of weapons and the hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilian citizens killed by use of a heretofore unknown and unregulated weapon of mass destruction.

We can't say we weren't warned @Bn2f ! From way back in 1977....

History shows again and again
HisArpy is less than most normal men...
Go go Godzilla!

I hope LMWM321 is the victim of a home invasion and watches while his daughter or wife gets raped, all the while thinking "I wish I would have had a gun to defend my family". People who are this dense are revolting.

Sir, I do believe that in your post the word ‘revolting’ is applied to the wrong member.

 

[WifePleaseher]

I live in Houston, Texas, one of the shiniest blue cities you'll ever see.

Yes likely a transplant from Cali or New York, NewJersey....given all the growth in populatiin and an anathema to traditional Texas culture

Whether Austin, Houston or DFW its in oppositon to tradifiinal Western values. A lot of folks there forgot how Texas was born, fought for and maintained.

This country's love affair with guns is revolting. ..And we're so far gone we don't see it for what it is - a twisted, psychotic fetish.

To think there are millions of American's who consider gun play a hobby, a lifestyle, or an activity around which the family spends time bonding - as though celebrating a device engineered to shoot a projectile that pierces skin, bone, and brain was a normal, wholesome thing.

Imagine you moved next door to a guy who, instead of worshipping guns, enjoys brewing poison for killing people and making full-size guillotine replicas. "Don't worry neighbor!" he tells you, "I would never use these on people unless forced to do so! I only use the poison on lab rats and the guillotines on pig carcasses." What would you think of the guy? ..You would think he was fucking nuts. ..But worshipping weapons that can kill multiple people from hundreds of yards away in a matter of seconds? Spending weekends at gun clubs showing off their arsenal and debating accuracy and stopping power with fellow nut-jobs? .Nope! nothing to see here people. ..He's just a normal American celebrating his birthright.

Are guns a necessity? ..Of course they are... for law enforcement and military personnel.

Or for putting meat on the table, defending oneself or ones family against violent criminals ie when seconds count the Police are only minutes away ( especially in high crime urban areas) or bettering the Natonal Defense via skilled marksmanship. A skill that takes a lot of practice to develop a high level of skill. This compares with your average basic military member who may only fire 80 to 120 rounds in practice/ and initial qualification with a much smaller number of folks firing about 320 rounds a year. God help us in the case of a National Emergency without those already skilled with firearms.

Notably 2A is not about Hunting or the Military but keeping the Government in check from becomming oppressive as the Founders sought to avoid providing the people the means to resist.

"oppositon to tradifiinal Western values"? Your spelling goes to hell when you start hyperventilating, son. Try breathing into a paper bag.

And for the record, I am a "transplant" but have lived in Texas more than a decade. I'm not from California or New York or New Jersey. Where are you from, junior?

 

[WifePleaseher]

Lol. Not a real Texan....My ancestors came to the States in 1825, fought Native Americans bent on slaughtering White European settlers. Ancestors fought in the Civil War. Laterg went West settling in Wyoming to Ranch & Farm, fought the natives again as settlers, moved to Ohio for Auto Jobs Later fought WWI & II. After the war my father was a Law Enforcement Officer.

Yes for my people guns were very important and essential to survival.
, whether for sustenance or self preservation. As in the past we face predators two and four legged whether criminals, foreign adversaries and perhaps at some point in the future what the Nations founders sought to avoid.

Folks like you have a short memories and have become useful tools of those who represent everything our Founding Fathers opposed

Yeah, yeah, take a number and join the long line of Halo players ready to cosplay real combat here on the PB.

Thought about sarcastically fixing this problematic sentence of yours but decided to let the stench of you whitesplainin history just reek on its own merits.

I never have claimed to be a "real Texan" and I never will. Texans have deluded themselves into thinking "beef" is BBQ, when anyone with an IQ over room temperature would agree the proper meat to be considered BBQ is, in fact, pork.

I'm glad your daddy was able to monetize your family's long history of race-based aggression by securing a government job that gave him "qualified immunity" that allowed to take out his frustrations with his bloodlines' shortcomings by bustin' minority heads. He was fortunate to have lived in a time before body cameras were commonplace, kudos to him for making the most of his meager high school education. It goes without saying that he couldn't hack it in this day and age. I'm assuming he passed away from a broken heart after seeing how you turned out?

You didn't mention any military service in your family history post-WW2... is that when the "bone spurs" entered your genetic bloodlines? Not that I blame you, though. It's different firing a weapon at someone who fires back at you. Much easier to plonk squirrels.

You sound just like you might be a racist. A Communist perhaps? Are you either ?

 

[Bn2f]

Yes. Both. But in opposite order. I was born a racist and living in America taught me to hate democracy. Um, wait, maybe I got the order wrong.

Anyway, why you making me correct yer ass? None of your white ancestors came here in 1825 under the pretense of protecting settlers against fightin duhnativs.
None of that crap is learned from 23andMe.

13 posts in and you’ve impressed me with the very wise move of LOL’in and scurrying on.

Wishing my wife and daughter get raped? ..Just so I'd see things your way? Take a bow - that's about the grossest thing I've ever read in a forum. I'm surprised the moderators here at Lit allow it.

The only thing worse than your morals is your reading comprehension. I support peoples' right to own a weapon - just not ANY and ALL weapons. I even owned one myself, once upon a time.

I guess a smarter reply from me might have been, "Well, then I hope your wife and one of your kids gets killed in a school massacre by someone with an AR" but I can't bring myself to say that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, or even you....the most vile person I've encountered on the internet. Shame on you for wishing such a thing on someone.

A hunter in Virginia has died after a bear shot in a tree fell on him

Instant karma got him.

The article includes info about similar events. This one is particularly funny:

Another man was injured in 2019 after his hunting partner shot a bear in a tree in North Carolina. The bear fell out of the tree and began biting the hunter. The man and the animal then tumbled off a cliff. The hunter was taken to a hospital, while the bear was later found dead.

Shot, bitten and then fell off a cliff!

Southerners are the pollution that is destroying this country, and I say that as an umpteenth-generation Floridian.

So you want to pick a fight with folks who want to fuck you up... and already did it twice?

Does that include Faulkner? Capote? Bill Clinton? Willie Brown?

( O O )

 

[Politruk]

The legitimate uses of privately owned firearms are:
1. Personal/home defense.
2. Hunting.
3. Gun collecting as a hobby.
4. Target shooting as a sport/hobby.

And that's all. End of list. Note that none of these are political uses. They have nothing to do with "defending freedom." There are no circumstances, none at all, in which you get to bear arms against LEOs, or the National Guard, or the Army.

1. You don't make the rules.

2. It's the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Approved Hobbies.

3. A "well regulated militia" would look like this:

Not this:

4. ESL and the GED might get you into a class on American history, where you might learn about this:

But then again, you prolly won't.

How's this for a simple explanation:
