Oh I get it, take all the guns away from law abiding citizens and then the criminals will feel bad and turn in all theirs and Kumbya, Kumbya! No wonder Democrats demand mercy for murderers and don't give a rat's hind end about their victims.

Where do you think illegal guns come from? Mexico? lol No, they come from states with lax gun laws that essentially have legal black markets. I.e. No gun registration or background checks.

Uh, let the record state, you are full of shit. Criminals break laws. (Note that is a period) People who obey the law do not commit crimes. (Another period). GO after the criminals instead of the good guys. No matter what your friends tell you, you do have to move on from kindergarten logic.

And as a trump supporter I'm sure you have a keen eye for criminals lol

Yup, and they are all Democrats. Biden-You've got 6 hours to fire the prosecutor investigating my son or I'm leaving Ukraine with the billion dollars---- (paraphrased of course) Look it up.

Firing Shokin was part of official US foreign Policy. Not some shady backdoor deal to make up dirt on a political opponent. Maybe you should talk to Trump and Rudy's friend Lev Parnas.

Great meme, I like the way you used such a broad array of colors. And considering you used crayons, the detail is impressive. You should consider writing fiction.

You're confusing peaceful with harmless. A person who is not capable of ending you with overwhelming, expedient violence is not peaceful...they are ineffective and harmless. Being peaceful means, I will not harm you, or exploit you...I will even defend you, up until the moment you try to disarm me and control the liberty of my progeny...at that moment I will remove you from this world without hesitation.

You're a special kind'a stupid aintcha'? I bet you were called "special" a lot as a child.

Because those dolled up clowns are suited up to attend their local semi-annual masseuse convention?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the most heavily armed rally in history probably ended peacefully. Just 364 more days free of gun violence to go!* 3mq2wd.jpg (click to show)

*I’m certain people were shot yesterday in other places in America where the cameras weren’t looking.

Sorry, but you don't get to brag about how "peaceful" you are when you're holding a f**king assault rifle armed to the teeth in combat gear.

So holding a gun automatically makes someone not peaceful. Are you 12?

Geared up to and threatening to use it hardly makes them pacifist material.

Sure but the incident op was referring to was peaceful.

Thanks to the evil FBI.

The FBI has a problem at the top. Rank and file FBI are pretty cool, as far as I can see.

"So holding a gun automatically makes someone not peaceful. Are you 12?"

Kind of. I can actually commend the people that showed up to protest unarmed, because protesting was their only interest. I'd honestly have no qualms with the protest whatsoever if everyone was unarmed. And I consider protesting (anything) a very American thing to do.

The people who came out in full combat gear and (presumably) loaded assault rifles just wanted to get their rocks off and feel intimidating. To make a show of force, and some of them were even making verbal threats in response to hypothetical changes in gun laws.

Imagine if people had a pro-abortion rally and 80% of them were carrying guns, saying they're going to shoot people and revolt if you take abortion rights away. Would you consider that a "peaceful" protest if no violence occurred? Do you think these instances of armed mobs should be perceived any differently because one is a "2nd Amendment protest"? As if somehow that makes it less overtly intimidating?

Just ask yourself. Is peace through intimidation actually peaceful? I'd argue that those two things are somewhat antithetical to one another. One cannot be both intimidating and peaceful at the same time.

You don't have to wet your pants because someone is holding a rifle, but if you identify as a bed wetter, by all means. Are you terrified by baseball players holding bats? One of my best friends was murdered with a baseball bat.

Shouldn't you be busy trying to convince people you're not a Nazi?

Shouldn't you be busy trying to convince people you're not an asshole?

Okay Yakity Yak, Just Talk Back. Colorado passed so called "common sense gun laws" and we've had even more violent shootings since, including the Aurora Theater shooting the Highland Ranch STEM School shooting.............. yup gun laws are the solution.

"Colorado passed so called "common sense gun laws" and we've had even more violent shootings since, including the Aurora Theater shooting the Highland Ranch STEM School shooting.............. yup gun laws are the solution."

Gun laws don't live in a vacuum. The one shooter in California drove like 9 hours to Nevada so he could buy a gun. A states gun laws are going to be less effective if they are surrounded by states that have lax gun lows, like Colorado for instance.

Colorado actually has lower Gun Death rates than half of it's neighboring states. Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma have much higher rates with even less gun control.

Just look at a list of states with the highest gun death rates. The 10 States with the highest rates are literally all very Red, Republican/Conservative States. The ironically named "Bible Belt" and Mid-West. Coincidentally the 15 Poorest States in the US are all Hard Red states as well.

Meanwhile, the states with the lowest rates of gun violence are so-called "liberal bastions" New York, New Jersey, California, and the rest of the North East Coast.

You really like to hear yourself talk don't you. Colorado didn't have a high murder rate before the democrats infringed on our gun rights. Most of our murders were machismo illegal aliens feeling dissed at the local cantina knifing another hombre over some lovely senorita. Typically the guy killed was a legal migrant worker and the macho dude had been in the US for less than 6 months. You love stats, more people are killed by baseball bats and clubs than by rifles, including the dreaded semi-automatic ASSAULT RIFLE (extra deadly cause it's BLACK!!!!!!). Real facts, don't hurt yourself pulling your head out of your ass to look them up.

And Chicago and Baltimore and DC and other fine liberal bastions rank where?

"You love stats, more people are killed by baseball bats and clubs than by rifles,"

Why just rifles hmmmm? Trying to manipulate the data to serve your needs? If you knew anything about crime data you'd know that most murders with guns are by hand guns. Your so-called murder stats are selective bullshit.

Average yearly homicide data by weapons:

Firearms: 67.8%
Knives or other cutting instruments: 13.4%
Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.): 5.7%
Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.): 3.9%
Other dangerous weapons: 9.2%

Maybe get your data besides bogus memes you find on the internet. Thanks.

I know you didn't learn phonics in school, but try to sound this out- John Lott an honest researcher on gun/crime reality. Look up his unbiased statistics. Maybe stop being so arrogant, smug, judgmental, such a hater and so devoted to instantly making millions of legal, law abiding gun owners into instant felons. Have you ever shot a gun? Ever owned a gun? Ever needed a gun to protect yourself? Ever fed yourself by hunting, or do you let someone else do your killing for food? I don't know you, you don't know me, how about you stop being so instantly bigoted.Are you 12?

"an honest researcher on gun/crime reality"

HAHA John Lott literally wrote a book titled "More Guns Less Crime" and professional researchers threw it in the garbage. And when people debunked his garbage book and he was exposed as a hack, he tried suing people for defamation, and lost. American has more guns and more crime than every modern country on Earth. More than most 3rd world countries.

Also, Lott's fellowship at the University of Chicago was funded by the Olin Foundation, which is 'associated with the Olin Corporation,' one of the nation's largest gun manufacturers.

What a coinkydink! The guy whose College Fellowship was funded by Gun Manufacturers turned out to be a pro-gun propagandist. Shocker!

So in classic liberal soft brained intellectualism you dismiss a book because it's title contradicts your well established superstitions. And of course the people who poo-poo the book have no financial or agenda based reasons for doing so. Right.
John Lott is a statistician. That means he gathered crime statistics and analyzed them, presented the facts that emerged from well established statistical protocols with an interpretation of what the data represented. So whether you are shocked or not, the facts don't support the anti-gun hypothesis.
Then of course liberal researchers aren't financed by groups with a specific interest, like Bloomberg's Mom's Against Truth, or any one of the myriad sponsors of NPR.
Another statistician, Dr. John Christy, highly respected in his field, ran afoul of the climate change insisters, when he studied and compiled phenomenal amounts of data recordings of real weather- funny, he didn't use computer models to guess, he used factual information. When his research clearly showed that the computer models don't even come close to reality, that the dire financial and human costs aren't happening, that as CO2 levels and temperatures rise, catastrophic weather has declined, he as a genuine scientist grounded in fact presented at a major conference on climate change. He went to the conference with one agenda- to help climate researchers better hone their methods, not as a shill for oil companies, not as an alarmist saying the earth is done in 12 years, but as a statistician with relevant findings.
His treatment after that conference and in the years since makes what Democrats have done to Trump look like a pillow fight. The man was called every derogatory name in the book, open minded scientists were determined to destroy him academically (he was a professor at Colorado University), personally and financially. They said he had no standing because he wasn't a meteorologist, something he never claimed and in fact made clear that he was only compiling recorded data, and analyzing it within his expertise with statistics.
And in true liberal minded style they have even tried to destroy his son, an academic at another university. Christy was so appalled by the utter lack of scientific curiousity and vile attacks that he vowed to never waste his time again trying to help climate scientist perfect their research.
And before you pull out the liberal boilerplate racist, bigot, homophobe, misogynist, hater, liar, denier, big business shill,

Cont. planet destroyer aspersions on Dr. Christy, I was at that conference. I saw the hatred in their eyes when they perceived him as a threat to their research cash cows. I heard the vile attacks and their irrational rage their untruthful accusations of his professional ability. These are the true haters. These are the true deniers. Just as you so off the cuff deny John Lott's carefully researched, documented and footnoted book. You can check his conclusions against the facts.
Good luck limping through life in your ignorance and blind allegiance to propaganda.

You forgot to mention that all murders are committed by criminals.

How many rubles you get paid per post dude? Shit's been debunked years ago.

https://skepticalscience.com/skeptic_John_Christy.htm

Yeah right. Have you read his research? Hell no you haven't or you'd see he never had an agenda, only dealt with actual data and matched it to the computer models. Peer reviewed too, by all climate changists who stand to see their lazy ass grants pulled. Okay John you win, the planet is too fragile to support life, after these 4 billion or so years hurtling through the harsh void of space a miniscule molecules of CO2 out of every million in the atmosphere will destroy the entire planet and wipe out millions of species. We're all going to die and It's Donald Trumps fault. Good thing you have your head securely protected up your ignorant ass when the end comes.

But in those places, the gun control laws are tight, so only the criminals have guns.

In places like where this rally took place, the troublemakers (antifa, where were you?) decided to stay away. Odd... and most difficult to explain? Nope.

"But in those places, the gun control laws are tight, so only the criminals have guns."

Where do you think it's easier for criminals to get guns? In states that have background checks and registration, and make sure someone isn't a criminal before they sell them a gun? Or States that don't screen for criminals before they sell guns?

Here is a map of the US, cross referencing Gun Death and the strictness of gun control a states has. You'll see a very common trend. States that more strict gun legislation tend to have much lower rates of gun death. New Jersey, New York and California have some of the most strict gun control in the country, and they are in the lowest bracket for rates of gun death.

Where as states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and much of the ironically named Bible Belt, who have the least amount of gun control, have the highest rates of Gun Death in the country.
