10. I know, but pointing out hypocrisy is one of my gulty pleasures

Besides, a little schadenfreude every now and then is good for the soul.

Hell, if any of them lived just the next town over, they couldn't be bothered to drive over to the Town Hall meeting to show their "support".

Just like the Bushmaster lawsuit. When it gets thrown out they will all quietly disappear into their safe haven for a few days, until the next big thing pops up for 72 hours or so. They have very short memories.

This one will get its' ass kicked in court for more 2nd amendment violations than I can even list right now, starting with registration, lack of grandfather clauses et. al.

But ... they do serve a useful purpose.

I have taken to showing some of their more "interesting and creative" posts as examples at the start of my CCW classes to let them know what's out there in the way of gun control/ban supporters and the attitudes toward gun owners and carriers. So they do serve a purpose, as effective comedy relief.

The women find the posts about how women feel about/need firearms and the whole penis thing, particularly "interesting".

Hopefully the people will let their feelings be known. ileus Apr 2016 #1
