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.

And I want to take away your freedom of speech, Mr. Holmes.

All of it.

All they need is to ask Navy SEAL snipers to go kill a random gun owners until people give up their weapons, although at that point, it becomes dubious if the government wants to actually keep you safe.

Well,Dave...the Army taught me two things:never drop the soap in the shower and how to fire an M-14 (and M-16).

The ball's in your court.

I have a solution...

Because it’s Democrats and Leftists that are violent abusers of guns, let’s take the guns away from them. And since Republicans and conservatives are, in the majority, peaceable and do not misuse firearms, let’s arm all Republicans and conservatives..

Curious, do you gutter slime Leftist realize the American people see clear through your shameless propagandizing and emotionally hysteric posturing? Do you understand we hold in complete contempt your shameless despicable willingness to use any tragedy to push your failed 1960s political dogma of the Anti Gun Jihad. Do you realize your mindless blind emotional bigotry on this topic is preventing REAL solutions to be put in place so you can continue to exploit these tragedies to push an absolutely failed anti Gun political dogma”?

Far from being part of a solution, this author and his sort of mindless political bigot, are PART OF THE PROBLEM. They refuse to discuss REAL solutions to cling to their ignorant infantile anti gun Jihad.

“It’s wishful thinking but I hope the Dems campaign on that.”

You obviously haven’t watched any of the 2018 California election ads by the Dems. Basically the frontrunner Dem. Governor’s candidate is running against the NRA. Of course he’s from San Francisco! Hiplaphobia is the theme for this loon!

They want to take away guns from the law abiding and not do anything about the criminals using them to kill people. How are chicago and all those other democrat hellholes working out for everyone where guns are banned?

Agreed. Not quite sure why he put the word ‘now’ in that sentence as I am sure he has ‘always’ wanted to take guns away from peaceful citizens.

I wonder how emotional he got when a bomb went off in Mogadishu, Somalia a few months ago and killed over 500 people. I wonder how emotional he got when multiple people were shot and killed in a North Korean gulag recently. I wonder how emotional he got when 4 black men were murdered in Chicago on...oh, heck, pick any weekend.

People like Simon should never be in charge and never make rules for all of us. His emotion is the only thing he listens to and it will lead us all to the destruction of our society.

The end result of the Texas murders will be renewed attacks on the Second Amendment. The truthful upside to these attacks is that they will smoke out crazies like this and lead to more Democrat losses in November.
To The Crazies of the Democrat party attacks on the Second Amendment is comfort food. They are in a war for control of the Democrat party with The Insane Democrats who want to lie about things like not wanting to take all guns :”Who us? Why my grandfather fought in Korea and the man next door is a Vietnam vet Me take your guns never!” The Crazy Democrats will say out loud “Give us you F%^KING guns NOW red neck and smile as you do,” because they believe that will get their candidates elected. I like The Crazies’ style myself. Go Crazies go!

That’s homophobic. You’re supposed to say...

“He’s gay.”
