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.

But the chance that I would ever murder anyone is actually zero and you'll need to kill me to take away my gun. And if you kill me, you don't have a clue as to how to do my job. So there would be zero gain to society, with the loss of whatever I might contribute to society.

Nobody’s opinions matter to Stalinists.
Aw, come on now ... he says that he wants to meet you halfway.
If he's going to come all of the way to your door to take your weapons, the most you can do is provide his body bag!
There was a brief period, maybe less than two years, when he was smoking hot.
Liberals and their glasses.
Considering that they sit back and let people make terrorist threats like Cruz or the newest killer, yeah that sounds like someone to trust to do all your protection? Screw em..
Should be .. the least you can do ..
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
This person willingly admits that he is an enemy of the US Constitution. Arrest him.
Scratch that picture and get a strong whiff of estrogen.
I’m all in favor of taking dangerous weapons out of the hands of individuals...
Let’s start with taking away Dave Holmes’ right to speech.
Y’see Dave, I didn’t care before with a live and let live attitude and a belief that people should have the right to say their peace. But you’re no longer speaking rationally and are outright demanding that I give up my rights to assuage your bad fee-fees because your leftist attitudes have cause a godless nation to go violent.
Yeah - FU.
So spell check didn’t catch that mis-spelling of “va-jay-jay”.
Bring it Dave. But pack a lunch. You’re gonna have a long day.
Or not.

Well, come on Dave. Because I want you to stop emitting green house gasses, right now.
“I hope this guy isn’t tracked down and shot by some nut.”
Not me.

Holmes is stupid because he thinks we are, believing his social media sites will be spammed with angry hatemail & death threats and come-take-them-bitch, etc.
He’s looking for his fifteen minutes so let’s not give him that. Holmes would love to post all the hatemail he is expecting to get, to show America once again that gun owners are a bunch of violent gap-toothed yahoos who hate children.
Holmes, spill some more spleen on your website. It’s really fun to read.
Everyone here should realize that it is going to come to [attempted] confiscation. Guaranteed.
All of us will have to put our money where our mouths are when that time comes. It won’t be pretty.
The key is that they will (are) doing it incrementally. So we have to decide when we are going to stop it - forcibly in all likelihood. If we wait until the tactical teams start knocking on our doors it will be too late for anything but dying.
Not that I would notice such a thing...
