AMERICA'S SICKNESS.

 I don't know where this is, but the young boy has a t-shirt on with "Texas" on it, so maybe it's somewhere in that benighted state.

Think of all the money these morons spent on this arsenal when they could have put it toward something that builds instead of kills. 

We are a sick, sick country.

Their concern is not to build anything. Rather It mistakenly believes that massive fire power will succeed in preserving the reified belief the Americans and this country are somehow different from and much better than all others.

Americans greatest delusion.

They either have the worst squirrel problem in the world or they are just dumbass hicks without a lick of sense. I pity that little girl in the picture. It'll be a wonder if she grows up without getting shot. How is this not child abuse?

I wonder if they are claiming and receiving federal government benefits?

The founders wanted a militia instead of a standing army.

I demand my constitutional right, as a militia member, to a battalion of Abrams tanks, an aircraft carrier, a squadron of F-18s, and a nuclear submarine. It's my RIGHT, dammit!

Those brown people won't REPLACE ME! Trump suggested we just shoot 'em at the border. Thoughts and prayers won't keep 'em out! We need to stop 'em somehow!

But thoughts and prayers are enough for all those victims of our precious guns! They died for MY freedom!

This kind of lunacy is way too pervasive. It rots our country to the core.

Yeah, all those thoughts and prayers will do the recent victims about as much good as they will for the next victims of mass murder. And the next victims, and the next victims, etc.

Yes, thoughts and prayers for hundreds of school kids and thousands of others living on borrowed time before they bullets with their names on them find them. Those in power who can, and refuse, to do anything to prevent or mitigate those inevitable deaths is an accomplice. It's the worst level of what amounts to criminal incompetence.

USA! We're number one in mass shootings. How great is that? All thanks to Republicans and the NRA.

American conservatives and tRumpublicans prefer to let folks die in mass shootings rather than lose their manufactured right (thank you terrorist NRA) to amass arsonals of weapons of war and crime to use as they see fit.

Damn the ignorant, hateful, SOB's that would rather see children die than do the right fu**ing thing.

The militia argument is moot/dead. The Heller decision found that all individual Americans can buy and own guns.

"The Heller decision found that all individual Americans can buy and own guns."

If stare decisis is dead with the overturning of Roe v Wade, don't be so sure...

Dave Miller said...

Actually, as it relates to Heller. Justice Scalia in his majority opinion stated that there could be some reasonable exceptions to gun ownership, but that Congress would have to pass a law to make it possible.

So it was not an ironclad 100% absolute right.

Neither is Row/Wade, or any Supreme Court decision, which can be overturned by another Supreme Court.
