Madravenspeak: The Second Amendment: Looking into the mirror of cultural psychosis

What kind of mind actually wants to kill something? What is wrong with the psyche of a man who looks at a lion, or a deer, or any sentient being and wants to kill it for no other reason than the sport of killing? ~ Tom Grasso, Elephant Journal

Wayne LaPierre heads a rigid, macho National Rifle Association that represents much that is sick in America and in the Republican Party. The NRA has played into the astonishing insecurity and entitlement of white male supremacy, marketing guns as if they represent “freedom” and “independence.” The United States is awash in this false idol, status symbols to be paraded in open intimidation and used for the recreational mass murder of wildlife — and people.

After the Sandy Hook Elementary School slaughter of 20 children and six adults in 2012, it was estimated that there were then 3.75 million AR-15-type rifles in the United States, in a mix of 310 million firearms.

The most frequent victims of gun violence are not black people or people in wars, or people at all. They are innocent, natural wild beings who are tortured and killed annually by the millions just in Wisconsin, for recreation. This is insanity.

--would have included barf alert but title over the limit---

[riverrunner]

A BARF alert for sure.

Besides we only kill a couple hundred thousand deer in Wis each year.

[GeneralisimoFranciscoFranco]

My list of things I don't want to do, in order:

1. Get killed.

2. Kill somebody.

I carry every day because- see number 1.

They are innocent, natural wild beings who are tortured and killed annually by the millions just in Wisconsin... by other 'innocent' wild beings.

The author is living in a Disney film. I guess it never occurred to them that the typical fate of an animal is to be eaten alive.

[jsanders2001]

What man? Why didn't you question that when you ate that hamburger today. Or how about those clothes you're wearing. Where do you think thread and cow hide comes from. How about the leather in those Nazi boots you wear?

Just another useless idiot who would rotect a pit bull if it bit a baby and cries about the erf getting covered in water as the polar bears drown because there are no icebergs.

[urbanpovertylawcenter]

Pat is a doofus.

I have guns that have guns. I am a son of a gun.

My week starts on Gunday, Twogunsday, Wednesday, Threegunsday, Freegunday, Saturdaynight special, and ends on God’sgunday

[FreedomPoster]

This fool is probably an extremist Vegan.

The author's premise that gun owners buy their guns because they want to kill is just another twisted leftist projection of their psychology. In reality, most firearms are owned to prevent killing, whether the likely victim is a human, or a pet, or livestock.

If we lived in some kind of Eden where no person, animal, or government harmed anyone else then perhaps we wouldn't need weapons to defend ourselves and the animals which depend on us. Of course in such a situation we might not need fire extinguishers either, since no fire would ever turn into a problem.

[Celtic Conservative]

I don’t want to kill anybody either. But if you threaten me with death or serious bodily harm, yer number is up skippy!

Great choice of screen name, BTW. I see that reports of your demise have been greatly exaggerated.

[DocRock]

If the author is ever attacked they will call 911 so someone with a gun will come help them.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I have more guns than I need but not all I want...

[BitWielder1]

We must kill to eat and stay alive, whether it's a carrot, fish, cow or deer.
Most of us outsource the unpleasant parts to other people working in food processing, a few of us are brave enough to deal with it ourselves.
That's how it is. Libs project false motivations on us.

Wow. talk about being out of touch.
No regard for the 10’s of thousand of women members of the NRA and the steadily growing number of women carrying firearms.
Nor any knowledge or acknowledgement of how people get freedom and liberty.

[NTHockey]

Save some of that anger for the Mohammedans who burn people alive, decapitate people on a whim, blow themselves and others among other atrocities. But that would be politically incorrect.

Some people are born stupid (bless there little hearts) and others work at it every single day. She;s a worker.

[PGalt]

Oh, I got 7 1/2 years of it saved up for special occasions ...: )

[stars & stripes forever]

If CECIL THE LION had a daughter...

[smokingfrog]

More animals are killed by cars than hunters.

[Lazamataz]

[Flintlock]

Yeah.
Thasss right.
