I love telling Europeans that I own 25 guns, even when I don’t.

Their reaction is 99% of the time exactly the same. You have never met a more stereotypical lot.

There is no natural limit to the evils that governments do....that is why the second amendment was put there in the first place...

He could use more cowbell guns. And some for his neighbors when the SHTF.

Personally, I’d rather just print out my guns with a GhostGunner

Yeah, I tell anti-gunners that I have so many firearms, I have to catalogue them in an Excel spreadsheet, and they haven’t shot anyone yet.

I wouldn’t want to be responsible for maintaining and securing that many firearms. Jay Leno can have all his cars for the same reason.

a terrifying number of mass shootings

When people think of mass shootings they think about a nut that shoots up a random school or a mall. The left stealthily redefined to mean any shooting with 4 people killed or injured. That pulled lots of inner city gang violence and drug deals gone wrong. And ta-da! The number suddenly goes from 'really really rare' to 'terrifyingly common' instantly.

I would love to read the article. But it appears to be in some sort of foreign language or jibberish.... and behind a paywall. But even that is in the same jibberish.

Hey, Le Figaro, let’s talk about how much “gun violence” took place in Europe between 1939 and 1945, shall we? That’s why Americans insist on being armed. Free people are armed. Victims of government-sponsored mass murder are not.
