Well…it seems the media is actually asking the repubs why they need to have AR-15 murder weapons and the excuses are all just the same bullshit grasping at straws that they do after every massacre of children done by a killer with an AR-15. The latest one would have made me laugh a bit if it wasn’t connected so closely with the murder of 19 children and two adults in Uvalde….one of the idiot repub senators was asked this morning why they need AR-15′s and he said to protect their chickens from raccoons…now, I wonder how armed his raccoons are to need that kind of firepower to stop them? Do they have body armor? Do they do coordinated attacks? Do they ambush people trying to protect their chickens? You can see just how absurd this argument is from my questions…and I’ve never needed anything more than a pellet gun for pests like raccoons and groundhogs…or rocks for that matter…throw a few rocks and they take off running…and if you are anywhere near a city, you can’t shoot a rifle anyway without hitting something you didn’t want to hit. Look, we all know these are excuses to do nothing about these unnecessary weapons just like every other damn time…and the excuse that the right wingers use for needing these guns that they need to “take back the country” with violence against the government should be met with an FBI investigation and the loss of every damn weapon they own if they are threatening murder….there are laws against that, after all…geez…
