Freeform Millennial Drama: 'You Know It’s Crazy to Have a Gun,' Ownership 'Barbaric'
newsbusters.org ^ | 7/17/2018 | Karen Townsend

The July 17 episode of Freeform’s The Bold Type exposed the unwillingness of anti-gun leftists to accept gun owners, even if one is their best friend. Budding writer Jane Sloan was traumatized at a very young age by the Columbine school shooting and she is horrified to learn that her roommate, Sutton, owns a shotgun.

Jane (Katie Stevens) was a first grade student just five miles from Columbine High School and she says her teacher’s daughter was murdered in that mass shooting in which shotguns were used. Meanwhile, her roommate Sutton (Meghann Fahy) grew up in central Pennsylvania and was a member of her school’s shooting club. She still owns the shotgun, named "Betsy," and shoots skeet.

Jane is completely ignorant of people who are gun owners and a more rural kind of lifestyle. As is usually the case with gun-grabbers, Jane goes into a typical stereotype of conservatives as she confronts Sutton and tells her “it’s crazy to have a gun.”

Age showing. I have no clue what "freeform" is and after seeing this crap I don't really care to. Is there a laugh track included? Ain't intolerance grand? Just call me a crazy barbarian I guess. A few times over. ;-)

“Freeform”, a type of expression of brainwashing by liberals, always a personal expression of given conclusions. A belief that the person speaking their mind is expressing individual thought but only presents thoughts given to them; they merely use their own words, but the beliefs are prescribed.

I don’t either. Isn’t “free form” an event in figure skating or gymnastics?

Mentally unstable individuals should not possess or own firearms.
People who own or possess firearms are mentally unstable.

There you have the next track on gun control in America. It’s Eric Holder’s by the way. Steady, slow, consistent messaging in schools, media, grants, even healthcare providers.

It’s crazy NOT to own a gun. Or two. Or ten!

In case no one has noticed, knowing that ‘We The People’ are armed is the ONLY thing keeping the Socialists in check these days.

My former boss, recently widowed, a Democrat, just moved to TX to be near her daughter and Grandkids. She posted pictures of herself on the range learning to shoot! Mainly, she’s afraid of snakes, but she lives near Sanctuary City Austin, so she admitted that’s part of it, too.

And this is someone who razzed me for years for hunting and shooting skeet!

I’d like to give her cr@p, but I’m more concerned that she remain part of the #WalkAway movement!

See? Guns DO save lives! It’s SAVING her from being a Democrat, LOL! :)

Ergo, the girl from PA is one bad grade away from doing a mass shooting.

Dear Jane,

If you would like to truly understand the meaning of "barbaric", imagine the loss of freedoms and level of tyranny you would experience if only the government were armed.

If you lack the imagination, try reading a history book written prior to 1960.

“You Know It’s Crazy to Have a Gun”

In the civil war, I’ll be carrying a mortar in my arms and pulling a wheeled suitcase with the mortar shells.

"Freeform" is a radio format used on college stations where nobody knows what the @#&% they're doing.

I can answer that! “Freeform” is the cable TV station formerly known as “ABC Family.”

I think what might be required is a new sales approach. The present one is “You ignorant, knuckle-dragging white males are responsible for all the evil in the world and we’re going to oppress the hell out of you all before we wipe you out”, and it doesn’t appear to be doing much to depress the sales of firearms for some reason.
