Pretty much, yeah. They even make guns in pink now so girls will just have to have one.

I know the film; I don't remember him being in it though.

I was curious about how the gunhumpers would react to the latest outrage/special military action and took a look at one of their forums. Unsurprisingly, they all insisted all teachers carry or be able to carry guns. (Makes for very polite discussion groups, I guess.)

“Don’t make me reach for my Glock, Sally.”

Parent-teacher conferences could also get very weird.

Anyway, they bought the shooter-as-trans hoax hook, line, sinker,anchor, and bow, to the point that they began muttering that we need to keep guns out of hands of crazy “alphabet people.” Even other posters tried to rein them in, to no avail. Those who pointed out that the Great Trans Killer was a hoax: ignored.

But the part I think we’ll start seeing gunhumpers start talking about the shooter’s weaponry, with dark allusions that his rifle was expensive and had an expensive optical sight, and how did a kid get the money for that, hengh?

(A poster who commented that he could have put it all on a credit card was roundly ignored.)

Of course, this begs the question what does one do in the case LBTQ teachers; not addressed either.

Instead, it was all about how it was planned and the kid got the money from nefarious liberals to discredit gun ownership. And they left the back door open on purpose!

In other words, they’re just straight-up writing fiction because they’re pants-shitting scared.

Abbott is still sending a pre-recorded speech to be played in his slot at the convention.

Too bad for the nra that the "good" guys with the guns happened to be the Uvalde police.

He's credited as Stingray Radioman. I think his one line is like "Admiral Graham on the line for you, sir."

his latest campaign ads are the reason why the mute button exists.It's curious that they also fail to mention his windfall from the 2017 tax cut or his trip to Moscow on July 4th, 2018.

I had a discussion more than 30 years ago with a gun enthusiast.At the time armor-piercing bullets that can penetrate police body armor was a big issue.His reasoning for being against prohibiting the ammunition was: "What if some crackhead broke in my house wearing a bullet-proof vest?"I was, like, dude. If a crackhead somehow stole or found body armor, he'd sell it to buy crack immediately and only break into a house after he had smoked that supply.

Same! I used to have a giant poster of it hanging in my house. I like this updated version better.

Without knowing more about the enthusiast, my racial-code detector goes off at reading the term “crackhead.”

First of all, that's a stupid question. Because U.S. Navy. Also land-based planes and weapons. The Russians aren't capable of bringing a landing force to the continental U.S. without being annihilated. And they have nothing like the seagoing capability to bring an invasion force and supply it. It took the U.S. 3-plus years of massive, around-the-clock naval/weapons/logistical buildup to land in France.If the Russians landed in Alaska, say, their performance in Ukraine makes it clear that an advanced military would have no problem demolishing their army, especially one so far away from supplies. It's not as if they could live off the land in Alaska.

As it's said, every accusation is a confession.
