Why Are Anti-Gun Activists So Violent (and Bigoted)?

Some of the comments on the article mentioned here:

NRA members should have a "Purge" monthly where they can off themselves till none are left. First purge should be NRA president.

Charles lives in Southwest Texas The rest of the country knows what that means.

 Of course...you are from Texas. Another person who should be sitting in the next theater that gets the wrong visitor.

 Guns are for killing people, that is their only use

 But since you are from texas, your stunning level of ignorance is to be expected.

 maybe when enough children of the gun manufacturers have been shot they will catch up with the modern world.

 With 100,000,000+ gun owners--the nation is held hostage by anyone of them deciding to go psyhco demented with that gun they have a 'right' to own....

 It is UNAMERICAN Normal people don't defend rabid gun freaks. Society was safer before evil entered "gun" owners

  A gun has no other use except killing people. Your argument is royally flawed. At the very least they could make sure they are not selling that shit to whack jobs but oh no that's against some 200+year old piece of paper that should be burnt and rewritten.

you cannot have an adult conversation with gun fanatics and they, unfortunately, are the ones always commenting on these threads. They are a strange breed of very angry, paranoid, and miserable people. They lack all common-sense and will not reasonably compromise. What's most infuriating and scary at the same time is their total lack of empathy for victims of gun violence. They truly value their guns and bullets over human beings, so much so, that they can't even comment in a reasonable manner. They are rude, often crude, and use the same old rhetoric constantly. They are so afraid of losing their guns, that they haven't even noticed they are losing their minds. Trying to converse with these types is completely useless.

Prime reasons to own/carry a gun w/ these kind of violent personalities walking around.  You never know.

And THIS Is Why We Have Industry Protection Laws

The Brady Employees who filed a lawsuit against LuckyGunner and lost show just how unstable and deranged they have become over this issue:

But these companies set up their business so people just like this killer can arm themselves at the click of a mouse.

 Everyone else in society has a duty to use reasonable care to not injure others -- except gun and ammunition sellers.

 The thought is disgusting to us that Lucky Gunner does not even plan to use this money to pay for their attorney's fees.

 Lucky Gunner wants to use blood money to fund the NRA and like-minded groups.

 We hope that we are spearheading a movement to expose these egregious and unconstitutional laws for what they really are. They are an attack on our civil liberties. 

 It is un-American and outrageous that these special laws can deny us our day in court simply because we were victimized by the gun industry.

  state legislatures into passing laws that give the gun industry immunity against irresponsible acts that enables them to arm, and profit from, domestic terrorists, and other killers.

Sorry folks but you were conned by the Brady Bunch into thinking you had a chance and that they would cover your back. You may have 'wanted to change the industry' (although that would NOT have stopped the shooter) but the Brady's were out to try and bankrupt LG out of business.  To believe anything else is ignorant and naive.  You're never going to see a dime out of them.  They 'might' help you fundraise (if they're still around) but that's it.  You're on the hook for the $203k in the long run. 

The Stupidity of Anti-Gun Activists & 'Gun Free Zones'

Over the last few years, there has been a marked increase in the drug and criminal culture in the college town near me, most but not all imported from Chicago.  Being a college town in a rural area, the locals tend to be your usual mix, many of whom are gun owners.  The college kids however are mostly your typical suburbans, naive and unarmed. 

Obviously this is a thug's wet dream and the predicted results have occurred over the last few weeks. 

CHARLESTON (JG-TC) -- A robbery was reported at the basketball courts near the W lot on the Eastern Illinois University campus at 3:58 p.m. Sunday, making it the fourth robbery reported since Sept. 13 in Charleston.
Three of the robberies have been reported on campus and one in the city. No arrests have been related to any of the crimes, according to law enforcement authorities.

In the comments, someone suggested campus carry.  The response is again typical of a hysterical anti.

Great idea. We can have armed robberies instead. Maybe even some shootouts on campus. How about requiring all students and faculty to carry M-16s as a deterrent? While the increase of guns ALWAYS results in higher deaths by guns, we will all feel safer knowing that the gun industry will have higher profits just like the 2nd amendment intended.

So allowing legally vetted adults over the age of 21 is upgrading to armed robberies and everyone being issued 'M-16's" followed by the typical 'gun industry' talking points.

I guess ignorance is his shield.

Well at least some of the thugs have been caught. 

CHARLESTON (JG-TC) -- The Police Department has arrested six Charleston juveniles in regard to the strong-arm robberies that have taken place between Aug. 16 and Sept. 20, according to a media statement.
“The investigation led to charges of residential burglary, battery and weapons offenses from multiple incidents on multiple locations and dates,” according to a CPD press release.

So a mob of them assault unarmed college students and they were already illegally armed.  Who wants to wager that these wonderful children were all honor students out getting milk for their grandma while on their way to choir practice?

According to the anti-gun/criminal empowerment zone mindset, it's fine to let criminals run around until their caught and actually punished under our increasingly failing 'justice' system but honest citizens are not allowed to protect themselves because to do so would somehow cause the criminals to get worse.

That makes sense.

Why Are Anti-Gun Activists So Violent?

Nice case of projection on this typical anti article:

Yep, he hates violence and guns so much he advocates for the murder of thousands of people. 

And they wonder why we carry guns.

A Good Day For Illinois: Kotowski Resigns

The biggest gun grabber in the IL State Senate, Dan Kotowski, is stepping down to join a 'Child Advocacy' group in Chicago.  Note the irony below.

A former head of the puppet anti gun group ICHV, He's the one that was caught lying to legislature on .50 cal rifles, attached an anti-gun bill to a bill labeled to reduce the sexual exploitation of children, and ban rifles chambered in .17WMR as 'military style assault weapons'. He also sent the Illinois State Police to the homes of people who diagreed w/ him, threw temper tantrums on the floor of the Senate when his pet anti-gun bills didn't pass, and thinks AR-15's can be 'concealed' in people's tshirts.

About the only good thing he did was support freezing politicians pay. 

Good riddance.

Munchkin Campaign Cont.

Took a break from GM'ing since the spawn wanted to run w/ my PC.  My painter buddy took over, setting aside his two characters for the session. Follow the earlier sessions here.

 

Bartholomew and Trundle decided to take a break from adventuring.  Magyck and Afdar go to the tavern proclaiming they are in need of more adventurers for their party.  They get ignored and Magyck shoots a mug out of a dwarf’s hand, nearly starting a fight.  After she is removed from the tavern by the local constabulary, Afdar finds an Elf Longbowman by the name of Strongbow who is willing to join them for 50 gold and expenses.  Outside, Magyck is chatted up by a young farmer in need of help clearing out rats from their barn.  The pay is good so she accepts. 

At the farm, an old man directs them to the barn.  Giant rats cause a brief scuffle but Afdar’s sword and Magyck’s Cloud of Slumber take care of them.

 Returning to the barn, it has gone from a nice, cozy little cottage to an ancient wreck w/ no one in sight, the fields fallow.  They follow the path into the forest, dark and ominous.  A clearing is ahead w/ someone standing in it, a female.  Afdar moves forward and calls out to her.  She is standing in front of several (4) gravestones, the names being those of the farmer and his family.  Afdar walks in front of her and the zombie attacks him. For some reason he jumps into her arms. 

Strongbow draws his sword and Turns the Dead. It slowly flees and Magyck puts a bolt into its back.  Afdar finds a key lying on the ground.  They decide to return to the house to investigate it.  Inside is as dilapidated as the outside.  Magyck finds a locked trapdoor.  After trying to hit it open, Afdar tries his key into it. It easily opens.  A ladder leads down.  Afdar and Magyck go down, leaving Strongbow to watch from above.

  Downstairs is an earthen basement, the walls covered in nasty looking tools.  A mysterious, heavy wood door off to the side.  Afdar peeks through the door, light from three orbs spills out into the basement.   Calling Strongbow down, Magyck notices a small table off to the side w/ some scurrying forms, rats again, around it.  Figures, moaning, start shuffling towards Afdar.  Magyck throws a tool at one of the orbs, cracking it, and causing the light to dim.  Afdar, attempting to grab one of the orbs, feels they are evil.   The zombie appears to heal from normal attacks. Magyck and Strongbow shatter one of the orbs.  It appears to slow the zombie so the group attacks the remaining two. Shattering them as well. The zombie collapses.  

Finally able to explore the room , there is a circle of runes.  On the table is an open book, written in Elvish.  Written on it is a Paralysis Bolt spell.  A cabinet upstairs has a bag of gold and a sapphire. 

Not a bad haul. 

Afdar however, feels feverish and ill.  A trip to a cleric diagnoses him w/ some sort of infection. A donation to the church heals him.  Now time to settle back into the inn, get some repairs done, and pick up new supplies.

90%

So Miguel puts up the latest NICS numbers.  1.7m for the month of August '15. Yet over and over again we hear that 'gun ownership is dying' and that it's the same people buying more and more guns. 

OK, let's say that's true.  The number that used to be bandied about was '90%' increasing their arsenals.  I say give them that.  Sure.... 90%. 

That means in one month alone, there were 170,000 new gun owners.  The only way that's not an 'increase' is if 170k old gun owners either died or decided to sell all their guns. 

In one month. 

Then look at that evil NRA.  They only represent a tiny number of firearm owners, right?  About 2% by the claims.   Sure.  Let's go w/ that.

That means that there would be 3,400 NEW potential members. Ones who actually sign up and pay dues, not just click 'like' on a FB page.

In one month.

We sure as hell aren't seeing those kinds of numbers coming out of the anti-gun groups, especially on a monthly basis.  Instead we see laughable turnouts, manipulated photographs, and funding by a small number of rich bigots, most of whom are protected by their own heavily armed security.

But gun ownership is dying.

Brady Campaign's Gross Desperation

Got this email from them begging for funds:

I’ve never seen anything like it — two journalists murdered on live TV at the hands of a man who had no business owning a gun. That video shook me to the core….
But I’m not shaken any longer. I’m frustrated and angry because you and I know tragedies like this don’t have to happen.
Brady Background Checks work. Period.
They have already kept 2.4 million guns out of the hands of dangerous people and saved countless lives. Yet while 89 Americans die every day from gun violence, Congress is sitting on its hands. If they voted to expand Brady Background Checks to all gun sales we could dramatically cut the number of gun deaths in our country.

Now THAT people is some of the finest blood dancing I've seen out of the Brady Campaign since they asked for $32 immediately after the VT shooting. 

He completely sidesteps the FACT that the journalist shooter PASSED the Brady Background Check w/o missing a beat or getting any drops on his shoes.

These people are nothing but despicable. 

And In Other Breaking News... Water Is Wet

What does it tell you when a University that has never been overly friendly to firearm rights can't manipulate the data enough to do anything but admit that (shockingly) criminals break the law to get guns.  

  Crime lab co-director Harold Pollack said the study shows that “some of the pathways [regarding guns] people are concerned about don’t seem so dominant.” He said very few inmates indicated using gun shows or the internet. Rather, they get the guns in undetectable ways on the street.

Really? You don't say? 

So criminals are using their criminal friends/family to 'legally' buy them irregardless of waiting periods or FOID cards, stealing them, or getting them from other criminals. 

And this part tells why:

He said the inmates know they run the risk of being caught by police but “were less concerned about getting caught by the cops than being put in the position of not having a gun to defend themselves and then getting shot.”

Why are the 'less concerned'?  Because they're not being prosecuted.  Now these aren't Josh Sugarmann's favorite targets of a CCW holder walking into a prohibited area while carrying, these are individuals w/ no CCW, no FOID, criminal records a mile long...walking out of jail a few hours later and having their charges reduced or dismissed. Over and over and over again.

The people buying the guns and selling them to criminals?  Same thing.  No point in going after the straw purchasers because neither the city, state, nor feds will bother with it. Over and over and over again.

All these vaunted laws to stop criminals and they're not being used to stop criminals.  Instead, according to the anti-gun pundits, we need MORE laws to stop criminals, most of which are designed to hinder, harass, and infringe upon those NOT breaking the laws in the first place. 

Is it any wonder why most firearm owners (at least those who pay attention) oppose any new laws?
