Forget Guns. Whatever Happened to Men?
The Pipeline ^ | 321 May 2022 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 06/01/2022 4:28:27 PM PDT by Rummyfan

The Uvalde school shootings, coming as they did just before Memorial Day, have thrown into high relief one of this country's most vexing problems. No, it's not guns, even "military-style" guns, to use a term that has no meaning except apparently to journalists—who should also brush up on the meaning of "semi-automatic" while they're at it but probably won't. Guns have been a part of American society since the Pilgrims shot their first turkeys, and have served the country well throughout its history. That some of them have been used in the commission of crimes by criminals hardly outweighs their usefulness to the founding and maintenance of the Republic. Just ask Sergeant York.

The perfect cannot be the enemy of the good. A disarmed domestic society is not something devoutly to be wished for. In any case, what the gun-grabbers are really aiming for is not "gun control" or "common sense" gun laws but confiscation and abolition. And with nearly 400 million firearms in the country, and gun ownership widely popular, that is not going to happen as long as the Second Amendment is the law of the land. In the meantime, see what just happened in Canada, which is now completing its post-Covid descent into a fascist tyranny:

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced the introduction of new legislation to further strengthen gun control in Canada and keep Canadians safe from gun violence. Bill C-21 puts forward some of the strongest gun control measures in over 40 years.

Just totally eff this gynocentric manshaming.

Its not nearly about “men” as much as the feminists and cucked men want it to be.

Its gynocentric woke society if anything.

Sons and daughters from fatherless homes are much much more likely to go wrong than sons and daughters raised by caring fathers.

Restore the rights of fathers to be treated as parents instead of paychecks and civilization will be resurrected.

That is a start. But that isn’t the whole problem.

Men agreed to it. We didn’t have to.
Believe me, it’s not how it works in my house.

After Canada gives up their guns, they'll come after their dogs.

Names lots of reasons, but not THE biggest one.
A lack of God in our entire society. When God is forced out, many bad things happen. Especially to men, when then filters down.

My grandpa would shower and shave Sunday mornings. The pull chain dangling light bulb, the dark worn linoleum type floor, and a claw tub are what I think I can remember. What I know I can remember is the air thick with humidity and the smell of Old Spice.

Hey leftist kids… Screw you.. you'll never have a life.

A man knows victory is a distraction from his purpose, destroying his enemies.

PS: Says me, lol!

“”even “military-style” guns, to use a term that has no meaning except apparently to journalists—who should also brush up on the meaning of “semi-automatic” while they’re at it but probably won’t.””

NOT just journalists - how about politicians being made to IDENTIFY weapons? Set up a presentation of various weapons - hunting rifles, automatic weapons, semi automatic weapons, pistols, revolvers, muskets, bow and arrow, slingshot, BB gun, and see if ANY of them can identify the ASSAULT WEAPON.

Of course, it would have to be done off premises as the very sight of weapons anywhere on the Capitol grounds would give most of them a fatal heart attack!

For what it’s worth, I have Brut, Old Spice, and Aqua Velva on the bathroom counter, and I’m only 41.

FORTY years of fatherless families, along with schools treating boys like defective girls, and they have the balls to ask that question...

He’s not manshaming...

“No, the problem isn’t “gun violence,” it’s the enforced emasculation of teenage American males via liberalism, feminism, academia, psychiatry, pharmacology, and the media,”

He’s describing the problem, diagnosing the cause and prescribing the cure.
