Esquire: Okay, Now I Actually Do Want To Take Your Guns. All Of Them.
Esquire ^ | 05/18/18 | Dave Holmes

Posted on 05/19/2018 9:45:29 AM PDT by Simon Green

Listen, I know the moments after a gunman opens fire in a school are hectic for you. You have to get your talking points together, you have to mentally prepare to debate a traumatized yet sensible child, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and practice saying that more guns would have made the situation less deadly. It’s a busy time! And since we are always either in the moments after or the moments before a mass shooting, you’re pretty much always busy, I have noticed!

Anyway, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I now actually do want to take your guns.

All of your guns.

Right now.

(snip)

So now I’m angry. Now I’m finished trying to reason with you. So now I, a guy who was ambivalent about guns just a few years ago, want to take your guns away. All of them. I want to take them all and melt them down and shape them into a giant sphere and then push it at you so you have to run away from it like Indiana Jones for the rest of your lives. I want Ted Nugent to roam the halls of his gunless house, sighing wearily until he dies. I want to end this thing once and for all, so that all of you who have prioritized the sale of guns over the lives of children have to sit quietly and think about what you’ve done. God help me, I want to take all of your guns out of your hands, by myself, right now.

"...Liberals and their glasses..."


Agreed. I swear that I can identify a leftwinger from a quarter-mile away simply by their haircut, eyeglasses, and clothes.

Try it Dave. I dare you. Come on.
Or are you going to send the police to do it, you know, with guns and stuff.

I have SEAL and [redacted] friends (active and retired) who support the Second Amendment. One has a verified kill in Afghanistan at over 1 mile. And he is on our side.

I also know deer hunters who are good to 500 yards. (My best shot at a metal target was about 200 yards - I’m just not as good as them.)

If the jerks really bring it, we win. Will be ugly, but we win.

Mr esquire is sure to run into more than a few of these roadblocks on the way, too bad for him.

The second group that tyrants usually exterminate after guns are confiscated is the press.

Good luck, bed wetter!

What makes you think Navy SEALs would obey that order to shoot random gun owners, and would not shoot the politicians who gave the order?

So the blame the guns angle continues. None of the shooters in anytime in history ever thought “Oh, look ... a gun. I think I’ll go shoot up that group of people over there.”

It’s time to move to the focus to what is causing these shooters to think that this act is a solution to their problems.

A question for the author:

Does libtardation hurt, or is it merely irritating?

You can’t just shoot politicians. You have to make them beg to tell you everything and everyone they know first. Then you can shoot them.

The party does, but individuals are not that honest.

No, I definitely have exactly correct.

The party actively calls for gun grabbing, but few candidates ever voice that position in their campaigns.

I don’t know, but the military was fully loyal to genocidal regimes in killing those deemed “undesirable”.
