Fuck you, I like guns.......How we SUCK at Adulting....

[ProudMNDemocrat]

The author of this piece, an Army veteran, goes into detail like I have not thought existed as she talks about what the purpose of the AR-15 is for. Read for yourselves and then discuss. A view both sides of the issue should understand.

1. She.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. corrected.....

[Demsrule86]

11. Let me just say... I didn't used to be a gun grabber but I have now joined the official gun grabber

club and will fight to wrest the weapons of death out of American hands. It is time.

[NCTraveler]

2. AR 15s arent the problem.

Guns are.

[Demsrule86]

10. AR 15's are a problem clearly...most mass murders employ this weapon.

[aikoaiko]

15. maybe not. see down thread.

[NCTraveler]

47. An overwhelming percentage of murders are not. Nt

[VOX]

39. Yes, all guns are the problem, but the AR-15 leads the pack in dealing mass death.

The standard round for the AR-15 looks like a miniature missile, and it comes at (and into) its victims with incredible damaging power.

As described in the Washington Post a couple of days ago, one of the Florida victims was hit in the arm, the bullet then exited and re-entered her arm, exited again and entered her chest cavity, finally lodging in her spine, killing her.

The Las Vegas shooter was raining death onto his victims with this weapon. In fact, AR-15-style rifles have been present in every major mass shooting in the past several years.

The AR-15 is designed to kill humans in groups and with deadly efficiency. There is no earthly reason for anyone who’s not in law enforcement or the military to own one of these killing machines. It needs to be BANNED.

48. Guns are whats creating mass death.

The AR15 accounts for a small percentage of murders and other gun deaths.

[RandomAccess]

4. Excellent

Thanks for posting it.

[dlk]

5. Well Said!

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Author nails the anti-military gun argument.

[Demsrule86]

7. There is no other side to this issue...I won't read shit about people that defend the death

weapon ...AR15. It needs to banned along with all assault weapons period. We will win his fight eventually...just a matter of how many innocents die first. Maybe this is the tipping point... the gun humpers love their guns more than their kids but others are waking up and when this becomes an important issue for average voters, the gun humpers are done.

8. When I was in, we didn't have enough m-16's to go around, so...

we still had m-14's. Even worse, in ROTC we had m-1's

Anyway, she's absolutely right-- military arms are designed to kill as many people as possible as fast as possible. And the military does not allow you to wander around with your assigned weapon just to look like a badass.

The clowns walking around in cammie fatigues, field packs, and other military drag are scary as hell. You walk around with a weapon if you are going to the range or going into action. Not to look cool. (Unless you're in a formation with arms, and then they better be unloaded.)

[alarimer]

12. I don't think anyone should be able to own guns.

Seriously, why do people have such a fetish about guns?

This one in particular has been used in EVERY SINGLE MASS SHOOTING. This means purchase and possession should be banned immediately.

Several European countries have very strict education and licensing requirements and I think we should model our gun policy after that. Not this non-policy we have now.

[MicaelS]

14. Why? Because, partially it is a ....

Gesture of defiance toward people with your mindset. It is a great big "Fuck You", just like flying a Confederate Flag.

[Skittles]

23. how about a big FUCK YOU to gun humping cowards who cannot see there is a PROBLEM?

[MicaelS]

27. Go for it.

They don't care, nothing touches them, in fact they would probably laugh.

[Skittles]

28. nope

they don't care about massacred people, but get upset if you call them COWARDS or question their precious masculinity

fucking ASSHOLES

[CountAllVotes]

29. +1,000 !!

[aikoaiko]

13. I'm not so sure the premise of her argument is correct.

"With this in mind, is anybody surprised that nearly every mass shooter in recent US history has used an AR-15 to commit their crime?"

Of course, it may be true that ARs are used more in recent years.

Nevertheless, it is instructive that we should expect mass shootings to continue with non-AR rifles.

[bettyellen]

26. They were banned during a large part of that period.

[aikoaiko]

37. Not really. I bought my first AR during the so-called ban.

It didn't have a few features I can now own, but it was essentially the same rifle Lanza used in Newtown (and CT had a state level AWB).

Oh and I bought several 30 round mags too.

[bettyellen]

38. What a gross little humble brag. No one is impressed by your gun purchases.

I find that most gun lovers enjoy bothering people who favor gun control more than they do the actual guns. Miserable, paranoid, but at least they have their guns to love.

[aikoaiko]

40. Wow. I only offered my purchase as proof that they weren't really banned

And that the versions that were available were capable of the mass shootings we see after the so-called ban.

No bragging. ARs were for sale.

[bettyellen]

44. First AR and dont you sound soo proud of your collection.

[aikoaiko]

45. I'm not proud. It took no skill. ARs were available everywhere during the AWB.

Again, I offered my experience to show you that you were wrong about their availability.

[bettyellen]

46. Its alright, you can list your whole collection if you need to.

It’s obvious you’re fond of listing your purchases.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. great paragraph here

As an avowed pacifist now, it turns my stomach to even type the above words, but can you refute them? I can’t. Every weapon that a US Army soldier uses has the express purpose of killing human beings. That is what they are made for. The choice rifle for years has been some variant of what civilians are sold as an AR-15. Whether it was an M-4 or an M-16 matters little. The function is the same, and so is the purpose. These are not deer rifles. They are not target rifles. They are people killing rifles. Let’s stop pretending they’re not.

[oneshooter]

41. Using that reasoning then most of the bolt action hunting rifles should also be banned.

Since the majority of them are based on a Paul Mauser design. A design that was built for KILLING PEOPLE.

[Initech]

17. All the republicans do is cut, cut, cut.

They never question why we have these things. Like why do we have mental health services? Nope, they see a line item, they cut it. That's part of the reason why we're in the mess we're in. Maybe the problem is republicans?

[yuiyoshida]

18. I don't own a gun but I have some

Pretty Bad ass Japanese Katana .. the real thing, a collection given to me years ago for my 18th Birthday, family, handed down from generations of Yoshida. Anyway.. Its probably why my dad made me take KENDO when I was 3 years old.

[gay texan]

20. Almost went into Kendo

I did one lesson and had a great time, but it was rather expensive

[Skittles]

21. you want I should kick your Kendo-ing ass, yuiyoshida?

YOU KNOW I WOULD GO TOE TO TOE WITH YOU MY SWEET

[yuiyoshida]

24. Uh... um...

[Motownman78]

34. Tsuki Ali? :)

Hello to a fellow Kenshi. I have been practicing since 2007.

[yuiyoshida]

49. Subarashii desyo!

fantastic!

[Volaris]

35. Yes. And at the time they were the most efficient people - killing weapons in existence,

The Japanese royalty banned their use among the general population, if I'm not mistaken.
It's why pheasants learned to kill people efficently with modified farm implements, if I remember correctly...

[petronius]

43. I am both

and at that typo...

[Rorey]

19. That was a good read.

Thanks!

[rockfordfile]

22. Should ban the sale of AR-15

It says a lot about a gun nuts that start off with fuck you. Go say that to the families that were murdered.

[USALiberal]

25. This rifle is so deadly and so easy to use that no civilian should be able to get their hands on one

From the story!

[leanforward]

30. Well said

Read it. He nailed it.

Bann the warfare weapons. Melt them down for nails.

[still_one]

31. What does AR mean again? Then explain to me why it is needed for civilians

[Hangingon]

33. ArmALite Rifle

[Volaris]

36. AR in Deplorable means small penis.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

32. After reading this......

It was worth posting.

You are all welcomed.

[nini]

42. Great article

and while I'm not a gun fan in general this is exactly the point I make with the gun nuts. People just do NOT need an assault rifle,, they are not trained to use them and there's no need in a non war scenario.

Let me add.. my dad was a cop. We had a gun in the house when I was growing up. I'm not against them in theory but not everyone should have access to them either.
