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&#8230;.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&#8230;.so I guess the &#8220;good guy&#8221; 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&#8230;anyone who needs to display guns strapped all over their bodies to get &#8220;respect&#8221; has never earned any in life by being a good person who cares about others&#8230;you can&#8217;t intimidate people into respecting you&#8230;fear maybe, and I think that is how they get their jollies anyway&#8230;they love being a &#8220;big man&#8221; who can scare people&#8230;just a bunch of hollow bullshit&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;you know how I feel about people toting guns around everywhere&#8230;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&#8230;but a photo I saw yesterday in my twitter feed was &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/?p=25259\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The most ridiculous thing I&#8217;ve seen in a while&#8230;<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[3369,1122],"class_list":["post-25259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-bullshit","tag-open-carry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25259"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25261,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25259\/revisions\/25261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
