there..

Getting rid of handguns and semi-auto and auto rifles is the only logical way to be safe and relatively free to live in peace.

Donald Trump will be speaking at the next NRA convention. Guns (and fruit) will be banned from the facility while he speaks.

They are all in favor of arming teachers, but they are deathly afraid of guns, even in the "hands of good people" in their presence. What a bunch of hypocritical assholes.

ends just like the ending in the movie 'The Dirty Dozen.'

(For those of you that aren't familiar with it, it ends at a German getaway where multiple high-ranking German officials and officers relax and fluff themselves. The Americans infiltrate the facility and eventually the Germans run to an underground bunker and lock themselves in. The Americans also lock the security doors from the outside. They then find ventilation shafts in the courtyard area and proceed to pour gallons of gasoline down the shafts. Then they dump grenades down the shafts, wait for the appropriate moment, then... Boom!)

just because the rules say no guns at their meeting does not mean some won't smuggle them in.

Theoretically that there are "good guys" there.

But they don't want to have guns there because it would bury the "good guy with a gun" nonsense.

I've always felt that the gun fanatics keep choosing the wrong targets.

There they all are. All in one big room. All the folks stealing your American Dream from you. Pals with dictators and crime lords, all chumming it up with their fellow merchants of death. What more do you need? You think they are protecting you? You think they are on your side?

And yet, you just keep killing kids.

Not that that orange piece of shit shouldn't walk the walk.

Why shouldn't HE be surrounded by guns? He's no longer a public official, just a private citizen.

you can go back to your car and retrieve your gun.

That makes a lot sense, don't you think?




I mean really, they say no guns, so I guess that means no guns at anytime.
