Liberal idiot. How about loving cars that kill so many people? or lightning, or ropes, or cliffs?

You do realize that those things are not actually designed to kill people, whereas guns are? Surely you can find a more logical reason to call a liberal an idiot.

My guns have never killed anyone.

Even when left unattended they mind their own business.

What is that, a football with hair?

More like a rugby ball, but I think I might turn my gun on myself, if I had to deal with that everyday. 😣😖

It must be a matter of semantics...guns are inanimate (DUH) just as cars are inanimate...both need the help of something moving them to work and perhaps to maim....Loving inanimate objects begs the question.............

How can you love knives when they kill so many people?

How can you love hammers when they kill so many people?

How can you love cars when they kill so many people?

How can you love people when they kill so many people?

I don't love guns, but do like and appreciate them and the workmanship involved (on quality items). The things people say and do cause more harm than guns ever did. On two occasions, after having been insulted and shoved, I made a split-second decision not to shoot either man which was probably for the best. So, a handgun in the possession of a moral, well-trained individual is not a bad thing.

The tongue is far more dangerous (James 3:2-12). Obama has caused unprecedented division in this country with his tongue and seems to be proud of it. So has Colin Kaepernick, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Schumer and a host of others. I'd far rather get rid of them than my guns.

James 3:2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.
3 Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.
4 Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.
5 So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!
6 And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our [c]life, and is set on fire by [d]hell.
7 For every [e]species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human [f]race.
8 But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;
10 from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.
11 Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?
12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.

I also love my car and they kill much more people.

I love my car too. It's the drivers too busy on their smart phones that I hate.

I especially love machine guns because they can kill so many of the enemy so quickly.

How Can You NOT Love Guns Knowing They Kill PROTECT So Many People?

Because, Joel, a gun has never killed anyone. Sometimes PEOPLE use guns to kill other people — sometimes accidentally, often on purpose. But take the shooter out of the equation and no one would ever have died.

Guns are mechanical marvels. They are intricate machines that harvest tremendous forces and direct them almost instantly at the command of the shooter. And within a flash, they stand ready to do it again. Some of their designs are brilliant. They’re esthetically beautiful. And they’re one of the most useful pieces of art ever made.

THAT is why I love them.

Let’s turn the question around, Joel. Why do you hate them so unreasonably? Is it because your penis is very small and they remind you of how inadequate you are sexually? Did your mommy hate them and pass on her loathing to you? Do you feel so guilty about living that you would easily give up your life and property before you’d defend them?

Or are you just a pussy, a gersh who hates loud noises and other emblems of power?

The author of this article is Liz Sheld- she sounds pro-2nd, pro-Freedom. The commie puke is John Fischer about whom she is writing.

John B. Fischer over at The Atlantic wants to explore the question "Is it morally acceptable to love machine guns?"

Dear Mr. Fischer,

Of course it is not morally acceptable to love machine guns.

However, since they hold me at gunpoint, I am forced to.
Please send help,

Laz
