There is a fundamental difference in cognitive abilities between leftists and normal people. Leftists believe the worst of people, especially themselves. They do not trust their own self-control. It's easy to see because they are the most willful people on the planet.
Normal people are cognizant of impulse control, exercise reflection (thinking about actions, reactions and consequences) and practice delayed gratification.
It's no wonder leftists want to ban guns - as irrationally frightened as they are of everything around them (including themselves) firearms represent the epitome of responsibility - a concept that leftists never learned and are utterly incapable of possessing.
A disarmed populace lives at the mercy of criminals and politicians. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.
Well, you probably had to work a certain number of hours to afford your electronic devices and maybe not the top of the line.(white privilege thing?) Others..................maybe not so much. Want a gun, get a gun. Hate guns, don’t get a gun. Kinda like: hate fossil fuels, get an electric car. Like fossil fuels, get a HEMI! Yeah buddy. Then you can drive to the range and unload some evil armor piercing rounds. WOO HOO! In my neighborhood, pretty much well armed. Cause we can. For now anyway.
That tweet was even stupider in its original form:
"We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than to get his hands on a computer or even a book"
I do not think the confusion between “by” and its homonym “buy” was unintentional on the part of the Current Occupant. There is a subtext there, that the teenager, prohibited by law from acquiring a gun of his own by purchase, may more frequently find a situation where this same teenager, to (go) by a gun, i.e., walk past an adult who is either legally or illegally carrying a gun, or pass by a peace officer, who in most instances, is also carrying a gun.
Or maybe the Current Occupant is a very bad speller.
Most of those Brazilian submachine guns look like variants of the STEN. Many of the illegal Australian guns are also STENs. The gun grabbers don’t understand that once disruptive technology has been released, in this case by the British or the AK by the Russians, you can’t go back. A couple of STENs and AKs would have stopped that truck/lorry in Nice long before that ISIS terrorist killed 80+ people.
Another FReeper put it best: People want to take your guns away so they can do things to you they can’t do if you’re armed...

That’s the first thing I noticed. Illiterate MFs.
It could be a typo, but whoever actually types comments for a professional twitter account of this scale needs to proof-read it before pressing Enter or Send or whatever mechanism Twitter uses to publish a statement. I mean come on, there is only ONE White House, right? It’s not someone in their mother’s basement who happens to have a white colored house?
My guess is he never actually sees the tweet....is told afterwards by the lazy dipshit that took spell check’s pass on either...
Sometimes not. Remember the Korean shopkeepers during the Rodney King riots?
New York Times: RIOT IN LOS ANGLES: Pocket of Tension; A Target of Rioters, Koreatown Is Bitter, Armed and Determined
In the absence of police protection, merchant vigilantes turned snipers in Koreatown kept rioters at bay.Excerpt:
But this morning, amid the empty shelves of the Western Gun Shop, the two men spoke in anger and despair of the failure of the police to protect them, of the collapse of their American dream, and of a sister and sister-in-law who are now hospitalized with gunshot wounds fired from a crowd of looters.
"I want to make it clear that we didn't open fire first," said David Joo, manager of the gun shop. "At that time, four police cars were there. Somebody started to shoot at us. The L.A.P.D. ran away in half a second. I never saw such a fast escape. I was pretty disappointed." 'Please Call Ambulance'
The incident occurred outside Park's Wilshire Jewelry, which is owned by Richard Park, who also owns the gunshop.
More than 200 people had converged on the mall where the jewelry shop is situated, Mr. Park said, and the shots came just as his sister and sister-in-law were trying to flee. His sister was wounded in the leg and his sister-in-law in the kidney and stomach, he said.
"I scream: 'Please call ambulance. Please, somebody hurt. Somebody crying. Please call ambulance. Ambulance,' " Mr. Park recalled. "But when a lot of shots were fired, everybody left.
"I don't know if I am wrong or not. People say I am wrong. What am I going to do? Just sit down and die? I am going to protect my store and my family and myself."
Like I said in my other post, I don’t think that Muslim ever does the actual tweets. He may be told “we sent out what you said” but it very likely wasn’t him.
why do people want guns?
Start with BLM and work out from there.
“...Why do People Want Guns so Much?...”
Hmm... that one’s easy.
Because there are Democrats around.
More like:
Also, “shall not be infringed”.
Then the numerous cases where police are NOT obligated...
“When seconds count...” is just a logical soundbite to wrap it all up.
Indeed. Isn't the ability to distinguish between homophones a mark of intellect?
BTW, not to nitpick, but the period always goes inside the quote marks, like this: "Period."
;)
To answer the headline, if not the actual article. Because I like to be able to defend my family. Because they are fun. Because I can.
Yes. I get your chastisement about the “period.” My English/grammar teacher was a stickler about it, and sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. But I have pretty much stopped that because a lot of things I learned in the 50s and 60s aren’t taught anymore. Also with the Oxford comma.
As for the “mark of intellect” thing, I think it was pure laziness and letting the OS do the checking. Still, I don’t think Obama ever touched the device that tweeted out that crap.
