Gun humpers are invigorated by mass shootings

[867-5309.]

Make no mistake. It actually emboldens them in their views. It gives them a visceral charge. Their opposition to reform hardens.

I had an in-law who would actually get a spring in his step and a sudden chattiness about guns. They see people killed in mass shootings as sacrifices we must make to remain armed to the teeth. They don't give a damn about the people who died. They are faceless offerings to Merica and her guns.

1. To them there's nothing like shooting something live on the hoof. /nt

2. Sure, they LOVE them some guns, and these slaughters, in their sick minds

prove to them that they're RIGHT to have their guns, they NEED their guns, cause look how VIOLENT the world is.

This random violence does exactly as you say to these sorts of people.

It's kinda like how the shame and suffering involved with alcohol/drug addiction ... very often drives people further into alcohol and drug use.

It's a similar vicious cycle, if you will.

…increase after mass murders?

12. I think the OP's saying that each slaughter that goes down with fuckall being done after strengthens

gunners' hands (so they think) in terms of something ever being done to clamp down.

Plus, for the white nationalists, non whites being slaughtered makes their tiny todgers semi hard, dusty fannies semi moist.

Massive bonus in this case as it was a Latino gunning down his fellow PoC. All the death, no white power berk to directly blame.

6. They probably take it as another important moment to teach their kids about using guns.

Good guy with a gun and all that nonsense.

7. I wonder if they'd be so happy is one of their loved ones was slaughtered by a gun terrorist ?

8. They don't care

anymore than the COVIDiots care when they lose family members. These are not people with normal feelings.

10. So sad

😭😣

13. the lower field level MAGAt gunners will take one for the team and cheer it on.

14. You're right. They don't care.

9. A sick culture for sure.

For they put guns over humanity.

11. It's not just their opposition to reform that hardens.

Gun massacres are like the little blue pill to these people. They get overly excited when they should feel chastened, if they had any inkling of self-awareness. But like clockwork, the gun industry will talk about how the Dems wanna come for their guns, and they'll go out and buy some more to demonstrate their devotion to the death cult.
