    Thanks for the fearmongering, Lapierre. Now we’ve got armed untrained civilians blasting away at shoplifters:

    Everyone’s a vigilante now, the hero of their own action movie. This will surely end well.

      I love how they’re willing to waste ammo on non-terrorists, too. Then again, they may think that anyone who steals merchandise is stealing America, automatically making them terrorists.

      As I said last week, they’re all wannabe Rambos. I’m really coming close to cutting some people out of my life because they won’t stop bleating about “gun grabbers” and how military-grade weapons are totally cool for us to own, because government oppression, man.

      Fucking paranoid morons.

    I don’t use the word hate lightly. I also try to remember that most people aren’t good or bad, everyone has some humanity, etc, etc.

    When it comes to Wayne LaPierre, fuck all of that. I hate this guy so much. He is fucking evil incarnate.

    If 100, pregnant, newly married, christiab white ladies were mowed down by an ar-15 it wouldn’t change the NRA’s stance.

    Short of a massive act of gun violence happening on live tv I don’t think anything will change this

      The Roanoke reporter and camera operator getting gunned down on live tv didn’t change their minds, either. I don’t even think a massive televised attack would do it.

      Honestly, I don’t think that would change the NRA’s stance at all, either. It might, maybe, finally, embolden some politicians who’ve kowtowed to them for years to say, “Okay, the public outrage on this issue is high enough that the political backlash for me if I don’t support at least some common-sense gun control measures will be greater than the political backlash that the NRA can dish out if I do,” but I’m pretty sure LaPierre and his cronies could watch their entire families get mowed down and still think, “Oh, cool - we can use this as a marketing strategy to sell more guns!” They don’t give a damn who dies as long as the gun industry makes money.

    I mean, Sandy Hook didn’t get the NRA to change its tune, and its membership likes kindergarteners way more than gay club-goers at Latin Night.

      I’m actually surprised they didn’t try to market a line of handguns for kindergarteners after Sandy hook.

    And in unrelated news, stock in Colt, Smith and Wesson, Heckler and Koch and various other firearms manufacturers is going up, up, and up! And further unrelated news, LaPierre is sizing up that lakeside mansion he’s always wanted, the large one that’s not so big as to be garish, but just large enough to say, “I’m better than you!"

      I say we find the address of the mansion and stand outside of his house with photos of the dead every day.

      Don’t feel bad. Asshole-induced psychosis is a real problem. I feel the same way about a lot of issues lately.

    “They’re coming,” he added. “And they’re going to try to kill us, and we need to be prepared.”

    Yes, THEY are coming to kill us. Let’s just ignore that the shooter in Orlando was a US citizen, and one of the shooters in San Bernardino was a US citizen, too, but they’re a “they.” The white boys who shoot up churches and movie theatres and high schools are just troubled youth who need better mental health care; they are not “they.”

      Well, regardless of who comes (I kid, I know it’ll be white guys), I’m going to be safe in my Crazy Shelter, for when the crazies come knocking. I’ve got enough MREs for some of you, but not all of you. A few of you will be allowed in specifically to feed the rest of us when the food runs out. None of you will know who that will be, but I will, because your uncertainty will amuse me.

      And the thing is, “they” are coming to every Western nation. Having guns isn’t apparently helping the USA combat “them”, or else 49 people wouldn’t have died.

      We’ve had terrorist attacks, by ISIS recruits, in Australia. Guess how many people died? 6 - including all three perpetrators. Only 3 civilans were killed in three seperate attacks, two of which did involve guns. Gun supporters in the USA don’t seem to be able to grasp that it isn’t guns that cause deaths - it’s guns that cause mass numbers of deaths.
