Why can’t we even TRY to do something about allowing every nutcake in America to buy all the guns, kinds of guns and ammo they want?
When it’s one of those white gun enthusiasts who kill masses of children and innocent people there is nothing to be done about it. When it’s black people shooting mostly each other one or two at a time there are lots of things we can do about. Put them all in jail, deport them, harass their communities, cut off their safety net, torch rallies and waving confederate flags and statues in their face. Or calling them unpatriotic for silently and quietly making a statement about racism.
Liberal Redneck is close to my experience with guns. I grew up with shotguns and a .22, qualified expert on all military weapons in the Army, duck hunted most all of my life, and most importantly, understand that getting drunk and shooting the crap of stuff in the woods, the dump or the back yard is FUN.
And it’s not expensive or complicated, anyone can do it, ever toddlers. You don’t need any brain power or training to have fun with guns. Fun is more important than any rational gun safety measures. If it were not for the guns what would these people do for cheap fun? 4 wheelers are bouncy and hard on the kidneys after a while, NASCAR, Monster Truck shows and Country Music concerts are expensive, and now, dangerous. And nobody wants to be the driver.
I also learned today from moderate Republican Representative Tom Cole that having an arsenal of 48 weapons is normal in Oklahoma. He can name a dozen fine wonderful people off the top of his head who have that many.
