Guns kill. In the countryside hunter kill their prey. In the city and suburbs guns are for killing people.Just thought I'd give you a glimpse into how you're viewed by the other side. Yes, there actually are people this loopy.
Guns create hate. If you own a handgun you have to constantly be thinking about who it is OK to shoot and kill. You have to turn people into an "other". Somebody less than you who you now feel you have the right to kill. This is sick. This works against any decent society...
Hate groups love guns. Go to a gun show and you will see Neo-Nazi groups recruiting under the banner of gun owner rights. Timothy McVeigh stole and sold guns at gun shows. Most white male gun owners I have spoken to have fantasies of shooting and killing brown skinned people. They will demur "in self defense", but our national gun fetish and increasing racism go hand in hand.
This site is a few years old, so I don't know if John Ricker's still active or not. I do note there's no trace of Guns Into Art as a registered 501c(3), and his Peaceful Streets effort doesn't file a form 990, probably meaning it takes in less than $25,000/year. Too bad. It would be in our interests to have the antis divert as many resources as possible into lunatic dead ends like this.
But there I go being hateful, racist and sick again.

ReplyDeleteAnd just exactly what would be a decent society in his eyes? The U.K.? China?
The ONLY reason we law abiding gun owners will EVER need to fire on another human being is in defense/protection from someone who would do harm to us or our fellow man.
Take away the criminals, and we have no reason to shoot anyone.
Even then, I will still not surrender my right to self preservation.
These are the same comments made by JadeGold/GuyCabot. They must be friends.
ReplyDeleteI must be missing out on something since I never fantasize about shooting anyone, especially not over how good a tan they may have. Although I might reconsider for people like him....
ReplyDeleteThe only racism he managed to prove in that excerpt, was his own.
