This week in Responsible Gun Ownership, local meth-head runs stop sign, crashes into woman's car, pushes her into intersection, exits his own vehicle and shoots her dead with a rifle.

I saw that yesterday and was thinking of posting it to the "I am considering buying a gun" thread but couldn't find it

So crazy it reads like straight satire.

I am considering buying a toddler a gun.

I'm sure there's someone out there batshit insane enough to argue that maybe toddlers are the real problem.

How often do dogs shoot people?

Mind you, in America, they do

tbf the second amendment says NOTHING about bench top machine tools

the founding fathers knew 3D printed guns were coming and wanted everyone in the future to know that the second amendment is not to be modified or reinterpreted NO MATTER WHAT.

Shakey, you've got a friend:

there's a truck parked here with a decal on the back window of an AR-15 superimposed onto an American flag
also a bumper sticker that says "REGISTER LIBERALS"

this fucker should be pulled over every day of his life

This circular appeared in the Cleveland Plain Dealer yesterday. Right next to the comics section insert.

Those suckers are pricey. It's funny in a way what a bourgeois pursuit it is, all the "working class redneck" stereotypes notwithstanding.

Hey, you sell enough Oxy . . .

I'd like it to become a liberal talking point that the need to own more than, say, five guns is a sign of mental illness.

long way to go

if your gun discourse doesn’t start and end with the fact that the most marginalized of us all should be armed then i’m tuning out lol. gun ownership as revolutionary praxis is where it’s at.

as someone who has recently entered his thirties I can condescendingly say that “I get it”

If they were equally armed, I'd put my money on Twitter marxists to win a civil war vs alt-right maga chuds

guns vs. nuclear weapons on drones, wonder who will win

For the majority of lefty gun ppl it's not about "winning", it's about not disarming if cops won't.

it's the position that serves gun companies the best, so there's at least one winner

yup lol

"it's about not disarming if cops won't" is basically indistinguishable from the right-wing case for private citizens owning guns (except their version is "it's about not disarming if the government won't")

at my brother's house while his fam is on vacation, feeling a certain kind of way about a certain kind of amendment

had to clear out the downstairs guest room for myself, clear it of what you may ask? fucking ammunition is what, so much fucking ammunition, boxes filled with boxes full of bullets (that redundancy is not a typo), literal kegs of shotgun shells, i pick up a shoebox and bullets spill out, i take a mug down from a shelf and it's brimming with bullets

and rifle scopes, and tripods, and nra-branded rifle bags, and heaps of stinking camo clothing, body armor, game bags

"game", ugh

and i pile it all onto the piles of the same shit that fill up the rest of the basement

i've probably handled tens of thousands of dollars' worth of this trash in the past couple days and i feel dirty

i go to wash my hands and bullets pour out of the faucet

i look around and realize i'm in a log cabin made of bazookas

repeal the second amendment

some of us take our childhood trauma and turn it inward upon ourselves and some of us buy barrels of ammo i guess

yikes! i guess he goes hunting a lot? or the firing range?

or maybe he wants to murder us all!? *ducks*

he wants to finally feel safe, and i also want to finally feel safe, and the ways in which we try to make ourselves feel safe are exactly opposite, and did i mention that his house stinks? the whole place smells like ass and dead things. i go out to the porch for fresh air and it smells like rotting meat because there are jars full of squirrel tails lined up on the rafters.

and there's this, it's like there's, my brain isn't putting it together right but all this killing equipment is haunted. cursed. i keep feeling like it isn't far off from mountains of child porn.

Would be pretty funny if all he had was ammo but no guns.

if i felt like opening up any of the many gun cases, storage lockers, etc., i doubt i would be met with a cloud of butterflies

but that would be pretty funny

"his fam"

He has kids?

he has a teenager, a happy and well-adjusted kid thank all that's holy. but if our family goblins of alcoholism and mental illness pop up when the boy's older, or if he gets radicalized, or the right kind of brain tumor, he'll have been trained and provisioned to kill the fuck out of lots living things.

i was there when he got his first rifle on christmas morning when he was 8, even had the honor of being one of the first people he ever accidentally pointed it at

yikes! i guess he goes hunting a lot? or the firing range?

Paranoia that there won't be any ammo at some indeterminate point in the future because of the government/cost/etc.. After 2008 ammo prices pretty much doubled (or was unavailable) so gun nuts buy it up like shopping addicts just because it won't be any cheaper tomorrow by god.

xp What could possibly go wrong?

dang i'm parched, gonna get me a cool cup of

No offense, your brother's a fucking slob lol

ok i'll bite: what's the deal with the squirrel tails?

i do not recommend biting the squirrel tails.
