So, to my fellow Americans in NYC, how are those gun laws working out? That's a smartass question, but more seriously, what will you do when the Gestapo comes rolling down Flatbush Avenue?
I'll never find it again, but a few years ago jihadis went rampaging down the streets in Iran, randomly shooting into apartment blocks. All I could think was, "At least that can't happen here."
They're going just about as well as they are everywhere else in the US, barring that one guy in Texas that got killed opening fired on a Border Patrol facility the other day. Before you get too snarky, let's have some examples of the folks in states that always have a hard-on for gun ownership who are actually proving what you're implying here? Oh, the good gun-owners generally aren't rising up, but those states are actually welcoming the Gestapo with open arms, since they voted for this? What a surprise.
Keep on living in your fantasy world that the 2nd Amendment bros are going to actually get off their asses and do something about it. Other than cheering it on, that is.
I'm from Texas, and if I had a nickel for every responsible gun owner I know I'd have $0.00.
I for one haven't forgotten that you think banging 17 year olds is fine
Oof, coming out of left field with a damn tank over here, when all this guy has is a plastic butter knife and sarcasm.
You got a link for this? Like, I don't want it to be true but holy shit, what a sentence.
I tagged them long ago when they said something along the lines of "come on a 17 year old is really physically an adult" referring to sexuality. I often tag people if they say something sus or fucked up and i often see repeat behavior from them. So in this case I see another weird conservative viewpoint coming up from the same dude, I gotta call them.
I would find that comment for ya but it honestly might take a long time to do so.
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
nazis at your door and you use it as an opportunity to pwn the libs. Jesus christ
Yeah, I have to rescind my movie friends statement.
