You know what?

Fuck them. Fuck the goobers who hide behind the Second Amendment, and won't consider even common sense restrictions on their ownership of big boy toys. Fuck the jackholes who blame mass murders on the mental health of the perpetrators, rather than the ready availability of death gadgets. Fuck the whiny little bitches who scream OMG MY RIGHTS MY RIGHTS MY RIGHTS when someone has the nerve to suggest that maybe, just maybe, they don't actually need another AK15. Fuck the preening pansies who insist they need a weapon that can shoot 60 rounds a minute, just to protect their suburban split-level.

They grew up getting all the toys, just because they wanted them. And now they expect adult life to be the same. They don't get that demanding instant gratification is not a particularly good look for a gun owner. They can't fathom that maybe, just maybe, making their big boy toys a little harder to get might keep them out of the hands of dangerous people. They mock and discredit you if you refer to one gun by the name of another gun. I would call them gun nerds, but I have too much respect for nerds.

So you're a responsible gun owner? I don't fucking care. All gun owners are responsible, until suddenly they're not.

A bunch of kids are dead today because guns are too easy to get. Blood is on the hands of the NRA, and of the fuckweasels in Congress who take their money.

I know this is not going to change any of your Rambo fantasies, nor dissuade you from fetishizing your boom boom sticks. I'm just tired of you fuckers, and I'm going to get up in your face about it every chance I get.

I'd tell you to fuck your guns, except many of you have probably tried.

1. You should tone it down

The actual bad guys here are the manufacturers, the NRA, their lobbyists, and the crooked politicians they pay. There are responsible owners on this board and many of us became comfortable with firearms against our will back when drill sergeants taught us "Don't leave home without it!". You were happy enough we were carrying them then. A rant is a rant and it feels good but you should consider that what you say may in fact be hurtful to other DU'ers you both like and enjoy. We're mad too but we focus on the causes of the problem, not just people different than us.

2. "You were happy enough we were carrying them then."

Oh. Was I? Really?

3. My "you" is just like yours

You called out every gun owner so I also get to call out everyone in the country who allowed the draft.

4. please be careful stretching like that.

You could pull a muscle.

“Big Boy Toys”

They seem to be for child’s play these days. I’m not letting them off the hook. The guardians of this person knew he had the gun, knew he was suffering, and welcomed it into their home.

Fuck every one of the Humpers.
