nope, the federal agents will frag their asses and take the guns from their dead hands - which will make them martyrs - wait, isn't there already a bunch of terrorists that like martyrs?

"...Joe Chambers, who said, “It’s not a gun control problem. It’s a demon control problem.""

"Ever since the Cath'lics stopped doing exorcisms with guns everything has gone to hell."

"When we take the guns away from the exorcists only the demons will have guns!"

"The only way to stop a demon with a gun is an exorcist with a gun!"

Looks like it's the Olds who are into going to conventions to talk whine about how they're misunderstood and of course guns don't make it easier to be impersonal and massively destructive when you kill people. I think the kids from Columbine and Marjory Stoneman Douglas and Uvalde might have something to say about that, as well as some kids whose heads aren't up their muskets about what kills people. It's the guns, stupid.

Lady, just telling the truth is what makes you look bad.

I don't mind the Olds going to pro-gun conventions quite as much as I mind the Youngs going to schools with assault weapons.

Please note that there are a lot of us Olds who are liberal and anti-gun. Of course, as a liberal I'd be happy to compromise and allow functional guns if they are background checked, licensed, insured, and have training required.

Blood for the GOP Gun God. With human sacrifice required at regular intervals.

This is a little off-topic, but what geniuses come up with labels like "critical race theory." It's a phrase designed to confuse and to be easy to demonize. Call if what it is in plain language: the history of slavery and racial discrimination."

Of course, that's only fun as long as the barrel doesn't leak.

Aw. Are their anti-social beliefs causing them to shunned by society at large? What a shame. Surely that is solely and entirely the fault of society.

Boo fecking hoo, Chester. Call me when you've got an actual bona fide grievance, and not some imaginary butt-hurt you're crying over.

Sideways. With a rusty chainsaw.

Well.... they admit that they look bad. I guess that's a start.

"They described feeling ostracized for their beliefs, and not just those on guns. For their refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine. For their objections to gay people serving as teachers. For their belief in disciplining children through spanking."

They feel ostracized? Good. They should feel ostracized. Their beliefs are bad and they should feel bad.

"Hollis, who asserted the shooter in Uvalde “could have walked in there with a baseball bat and possibly killed as many kids..."

Hollis is an arse. Here in Australia someone tried a public rampage with an ordinary kitchen knife. He was taken down by bystanders with cafe chairs and a milk crate. Total victim count; one dead, one injured. Killing people without guns is difficult, Hollis.

Pretty obvious why they ban guns at NRA conventions. They're putting the worst of the worst thin-skinned, entitled, self- absorbed gun-humping FREEDUM!!!1! fetishists in a big room together. Let them have their guns, and you're one someone-took-the-last-cream-biscuit away from a massacre to make the Battle of the Somme look minor.

Fuck Hollis and all his appalling brethren.

I WISH academia would come up with new terms for stuff. Instead they give a very specific definition to a word that's already in common use with a completely different meaning.

So when some people say"racism", they mean "systemic disadvantages faced by individuals not of the race or ethnicity that primarily wields power in that system ".

But when *most* people say "racism", they mean "someone being mean to someone else because of their race".

So when I try to talk about "racism" I first have to explain what definition I'm using and what systemic means, and why it's not racism to say white people shouldn't use the N word. It's bullshit and I really wish they'd stop doing it.

As gun humpers seem to be such Rugged Individualists, maybe start asking why they're so concerned about gun registration and background checks. I mean, I'm sure good Christian LAW ABIDING folk have nothing to fear.

Amen. These people have The Brain Bugs. Y'know, the ones that prevent them from seeing cause-&-effect, or hell, even anything remotely related to "reason" and "logic". It's ALL about *them* and their raw little fee fees and weak sad poop hallucinatory shittiness.
