The most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in a while…

Well…you know how I feel about people toting guns around everywhere…that it shows that these people are scared of everything and have bought into the delusion that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun…but a photo I saw yesterday in my twitter feed was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in a long time…the photo was of a white male, of course, who was waiting in line at a coffee shop and this moron had 4 pistols strapped to his hips and belly, and at least 20 full magazines for them, along with an AR-15 strapped across his back…and quite a few mags for it to go along with the rest of the stupidity…now, how the hell scared or delusional do you have to be to walk around in public armed like that? Another story showed that carrying around an AR-15 is no protection from robbery or anything else as a guy in St. Louis got robbed at gunpoint of his AR-15 that he had strapped to his back….and then went back to his car and got a pistol, took off after the robbers and shot two bystanders while never getting the AR-15 back….so I guess the “good guy” with a gun is not so good when he shoots bystanders while supporting his delusion that he is a tough guy when he really is just a scared piece of crap that has a nothing life and clings to his guns as the last thing he has control of…anyone who needs to display guns strapped all over their bodies to get “respect” has never earned any in life by being a good person who cares about others…you can’t intimidate people into respecting you…fear maybe, and I think that is how they get their jollies anyway…they love being a “big man” who can scare people…just a bunch of hollow bullshit…

It’s your fault repubs…

Well…with all of the anti government rhetoric the floods out of the repubs these days, is it any wonder that the less stable of us in this country acts on it? When you have elected repubs barely contain their disdain for our president and openly say “real American’s are coming for you, Obama”, is there any wonder that people make the connection that the police are part of the government that they are supposed to hate? And, with the fealty that the repubs pay to the NRA and it’s money, making sure that dangerous weapons are freely available to anyone, is it any wonder that three more police have died in Baton Rouge? This is all your fault repubs for your irresponsible fanning of the flames of division in this country for cynical political gain not giving one damn what it would lead to…and now we know…and I fear that the open carry nuts who you have egged on for decades now are going to unleash carnage on the police in Cleveland…and it will be your fault repubs…damn….

Listen to this NRA….

Well…with the tragedy in Dallas last week, the usual suspects started spouting off that if more of the people in the protest were armed, they could have taken out the shooter and saved the lives of the 5 officers that were killed….the standard response from the 2nd amendment crazies who think it is a good idea to have guns, guns, and more guns everywhere. But, in response to that, I want them to listen to a quote from the Dallas police chief that came out today talking about “open carry”…”we don’t know who the good guy is vs who the bad guy is if everyone starts shooting…”  Yep…the police think it’s nuts for everyone to be carrying guns all the time but does that matter to the NRA who is pushing for more and more open carry? And we all know why they want it…so the gun manufacturers that bankroll the NRA will make more money…not giving a damn that it puts more people in danger, that it puts the police in the unenviable position of having to make spit second decisions that can and will kill the idiots that are strutting around playing soldier….and, if you read history, the 2nd amendment was never meant to say that anyone could carry any gun anywhere…it was to protect the country since, at the time, there was no standing army and state militias were necessary for the people’s protection…they always forget the first part of the 2nd..”a well regulated militia…” not any yahoo with more money than brains…geez…

More hypocrisy from the repubs…

Well…I know I talk about repubs hypocrisy quite a bit since there is just so much of it everywhere you look…and the latest one exposes the pure ideology that is behind the gun nut craze driven by the repubs and the NRA…who’s solution to every problem the country faces is more guns everywhere. But, not at the repub convention…yep, they want guns everywhere and feel that gun free zones are the easiest targets for a “bad guy with a gun” but that is exactly what the convention is going to be…a gun free zone. Now, this may not really be that big of a case of hypocrisy since the Secret Service is in charge of security and will not allow guns at the convention…saying that it would make security impossible…and that just points out when you divorce guns everywhere from ideology and use some common sense, the security professionals know that more guns make people less safe. I would assert that instead of a gun free zone being a magnet for killers, I think it would be open carry events that would be easiest for a gunman to attack since he could just walk in with a couple of AR-15′s and a pistol strapped to his hip and no one would even look twice….how could you tell if he was a good guy or a bad guy? This open carry nonsense goes on just because you have the NRA riling up the gun nut fringe and the rest of us aren’t pushing back….I, for one, will not set foot in any business that allows these scared shitless idiots to carry guns in them…never…ever…geez…

Texas is just crazy…

Well….as you know, I really don’t understand Texas and the idiots who are running that state…and that was really brought home by the latest bit of insanity that their legislators have foisted on that state. On August 1st, a new open carry law takes effect that requires state run universities to allow students to carry guns on campus…needless to say, this has administrators scrambling to figure out how to deal with this crap….they are now having seminars for professors across that state that basically tells them to let the gun carriers do whatever they want…to not criticize them, to makes sure they get “fair” grades, and to not ever confront them over bad behavior….so, the gun nuts get to do whatever they want while the rest of the people have to just take crap from them…I guess that’s consistent with the repub hatred of education and teachers…that teacher’s safety is less important than the nuts that want to carry guns everywhere….how much more stupid can people get? And do you believe for a minute that these gun carriers aren’t going to try to intimidate teachers and other students?
Geez….

Kroger has gone crazy…

Well…just had to comment on an article that I read this afternoon…I am still shaking my head it is so frickin crazy….as you know, there is a big push by the gun nuts out there to carry their guns everywhere they go…strapping their AK-47′s to their backs an carrying them into restaurants, grocery stores, and others like Target and Starbucks….but there has been a pushback from the sane people in this country that doesn’t want to be around this kind of crap…and I include me in that number…the latest push is to get Kroger to put a policy in place that would prevent the gun nuts from intimidating other customers by bringing their guns to places where they just don’t belong…but, the really ironic thing about this whole fight is the things that you can’t do in a Kroger store…like eat an ice cream cone or go in without a shirt…these the company deems dangerous but a nut carrying a gun is just A-OK with them….what the hell is wrong with the people? Both the gun nuts and Kroger….my question to these asses carrying guns everywhere is “why are you so scared all the time that you need to carry a gun?” I have never seen such a sorry group of pansies in my life…I go anywhere I want to go and I’m never scared that I need a gun…geez….
