Hey Gun Cult, Wake Up!

I'm still thinking about this quote from yesterday...

While I don't believe a majority, or even significant chunk, of anti-government, pro-Second Amendment types are violence-prone and comparable to this delusional husband and wife, I can't help but think much of their rhetoric encourages certain [already] unstable people to act out violently.

Nancy Lanza proved this to be absolutely true.

Consider this quote as well from a recent Quora discussion. 

They seem to think we all look at them as "good guys with guns". I don't feel safer when I see a random dude carrying an assault rifle in public. I feel like they are essentially the same as the people they pretend they are protecting us from. Like they are a mass shooting waiting to happen.

Indeed.

So here's the mess that makes zero sense when you look at all of it. The Gun Cult asserts they need all their guns to protect themselves from a possible (in their minds...super likely and any day now!!) tyrannical government that will oppress them. Yet they take no responsibility for the myriad of people that subscribe to this ideology (see: brainwashing) who are mentally unstable and are causing exactly the violent society they claim to not want to have.

Further, the open carry idiots that parade around with guns honestly leave one to wonder...is this person going to start shooting? How can you tell if they are or aren't? Consider that the guy with concealed carry who got shot in the Jerad and Amanda Miller rampage didn't even know that there was more than one shooter which shows just how much a a lie the "good guy with a gun" meme truly is.

Listening to anything gun activists say these days is completely nuts. Their analysis of this issue is so fucking bad that I have to wonder why there are still some people who believe them.

So much for the respect for the right to keep and bear arms you [once] claimed to have learned.

Yeah, yeah - just like shall-issue CCW was going to lead to gun fights over parking spaces.

Maybe you need to examine your own feelings instead of other people's.

He can't get past his own delusions. Every blog post repeats the same bs that was exposed before yet he keeps posting it. Fascinating defense mechanism in action.

And the majority, or even a significant chunk, of what you consider are anti-government types....aren't anti-government.

As you've been told before, limited government is not anti-government.


I can't help but think much of their rhetoric encourages certain [already] unstable people to act out violently.

Considering the mass deaths brought on last century due to socialism/communism, I can't help but think that those who advocate for such encourages more mass death...neh?

I don't feel safer when I see a random dude carrying an assault rifle in public

But you do feel safer seeing a random dude not open carrying a gun? Even if he could have one under his jacket? Yeah, out of sight out of mind huh?

The Gun Cult asserts they need all their guns to protect themselves from a possible (in their minds...super likely and any day now!!) tyrannical government that will oppress them

Opinion time Mark. In my opinion YOU would oppress me with government force if YOU could. So yeah.

Yet they take no responsibility for the myriad of people that subscribe to this ideology

Do you take responsibility for all the deaths caused by your political ideology?

is this person going to start shooting? How can you tell if they are or aren't?

Again, is the guy standing next to you with a gun under his jacket, THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT, about to start shooting? Forget about not being able to tell that, you can't even tell if he has a gun. This whole open carry bed wetting is just that.

Consider that the guy with concealed carry who got shot in the Jerad and Amanda Miller rampage didn't even know that there was more than one shooter which shows just how much a a lie the "good guy with a gun" meme truly is.

And despite being told, MULTIPLE TIMES, that you are applying this 'meme' incorrectly, you still refuse to learn.

I think it is high time to put the shoe on the other foot with M. Every damn week on the reason website I read about another cop needlessly killing a dog.

So from now on, since M never objects to any act of state authorities, he is a fucking dog-killer supporter.

But we already knew this

And Here is your violence listing

Key:

Media's desire to pin violence on the right is so overwhelming they're actually rewriting history to do it.
In 2012, I wrote:

The media's habitual blaming of the political right is endemic and incurable. Media figures sincerely believe the right wing is violent, so naturally assume that violent people must be right-wing. This won’t be the last time they make that mistake.

I'm telling you again: this won't be the last time I have to pull out this list.


Maybe you should bookmark this M since reality doesn't match your ignorant rhetoric.
