Gun Control Supporters Are Just This Nasty And Threatening

I won't post cuts from this, not worth the time--just teary eyed whining. Seems Texas state representative Jonathan Strickland got a Christmas card quoting the bible, Psalm 11:5, " The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates." There were also a couple of photographs of gun-wounds to the face with the comment "The NRA gives the gift of nonfatal wounds like this to 100,000 Americans per year." This is what qualifies as a threat to gunners, bible quotes and a reminder of what they stand for.

Meanwhile, if you're interested in what Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action puts up with check this link: http://addictinginfo.org/2014/12/28/sexist-twitter-attack-on-moms-demand-action-founder-shannon-watts/
‘A B*tch Who Doesn’t Get Laid Enough’: Deranged Gun Nuts Launch Sexist Attack Against MDA Founder

Just a couple of short tweets: "Why are you such a piece of shit. You should own a gun and use it on yourself" and "I think if you let me get some alone bed time with you I can make you less tight assed and you might start liking guns."

If that's not enough the owner of Engage Armament, a Maryland gun store, was threatened with death and having his store burned down because he offered a smart gun for sale along with the hundreds of dumb guns on his shelves.

But it's the people who send Christmas cards that are a threat, right?

(I think I've just invented a new word!) Gun-humpers often accuse anti-gun people of "hoplophobia", or fear of weapons. Time we turned the tables on them!

It's perfectly good and acceptable to threaten people with guns and shoot them, but it's mean, evil, unAmerican, nasty, and threatening to show pictures of the end product of using a gun?

What kind of world do we live in? How are gun nuts different from those who kill people who draw cartoons of Mohammed?
