"Unapologetic American" is what the gentleman's t-shirt read. That, in itself, pretty much invites headbutting--that he was cocked, loaded, and ready to argue with any "libtard" that questioned his mantra. What are you not apologizing for, exactly? Let me guess...
That guns are your God-given right and that Hillary Clinton (those emails!) and Barack Obama (not my president!) will have to pry them from your cold, dead hands? That's my guess. I suppose it could be something related to the blacks and the gays and other non-white/straight/"Christian"/Republican males that White American Jesus looks down upon. But in light of the recent murders with deranged white males using Armalite Rifles to gun down their innocent victims, I'm going with guns. Guns are fun. Guns protect. Guns provide food. I am not anti-gun. I am anti-idiot. And unfortunately, that's the real problem. Don't get me wrong--the deranged white males wielding these weapons are idiots, to say the least. The folks that sit on their hands, doing nothing but offering "thoughts and prayers", deflecting the issue and putting "blame on the Dems for politicizing" the matter, blaming teachers for their poor door etiquette, claiming that everyone needs to be armed like it's the goddamned wild west or someshit...those are the idiots that prolong this ordeal. That is the root of idiotism--and it grows deep. How in the name of White Jesus can a person prioritize the ease of purchasing a semi-automatic rifle over the lives of children? That is a legitimate question right now in the world we live in. "Regulations wouldn't have stopped the gunman." He bought both guns, legally, the day after his 18th birthday and two days afterward. Regulations would have most certainly helped the matter. "It could've been worse." Shut the fuck up, Greg Abbott. Take your bloody gun money and go buy yourself a soul. If you agree with his statement, you are officially one of the bad guys. A terrible thing to say, but one that his lobbyists applaud. "Yer not takin' away ma guns!!" No, I don't believe that's the plan, bud. But there needs to be something set in place to help prevent the ridiculous ease in purchasing a firearm of this magnitude. "Can't stop people from speeding. People are just going to break the law irregardless." First: Not a word. Second: We can install a speed bump. That's a start (and also metaphor, dummy). I don't care for politicians. They are typically slimy, money-grubbing, talking heads for lobbyists. Ted Cruz is an excellent example of this. "The Democrats are trying to politicize this issue instead of backing our law enforcement officers." he says. First, the dems aren't politicizing anything. The GOP is filibustering a Federal Assault Weapons Ban that expired in 2004. Mass shootings have increased significantly since then. It's already politicized, and if anyone is dragging it out, it's most certainly the NRA-fueled GOP. Second, according to several reports, our law enforcement officers not only failed to prevent the shooter from entering the school, but unfortunately did nothing for up to or over an hour while the murders were taking place. Which brings me to another argument... "We need more armed people at our schools!" That's ludicrous, and was just proven ineffective during this massacre. There was an armed security guard. There were multiple police officers and local SWAT--all armed. Nobody confronted the gunman. It took over an hour, according to reports, for the gunman to finally be taken out. Okay, let's take politics out of the equation right now, because that argument just doesn't get through to the dense. Let's, just for a minute, ignore everything FOX News has told us. Let's pay no mind to Sean and Tucker, Ted, Greg, and Donald. Let's pretend they don't exist (I can only imagine). An 18yr old man-boy walks into a federally licensed gun store the day after his 18th birthday and purchased an Armalite-style semi-automatic rifle, along with 375 rounds of 5.56 caliber ammo. Two days later, he buys another rifle. Legally. This person now legally owns an arsenal. More weapons than a police or SWAT officer carries on their person. He posts his intent on social media. Yeah, that happened. He crashes his truck near an elementary school where children from 2nd grade to 4th grade go to learn their letters and numbers. The gunman enters the school--there is uncertainty about the door being open or the security guard's whereabouts. It's moot at this point. The gunman slaughters 2 teachers and 19 children, roughly the age of my daughter. He took his time. He shot them all within the timeframe of a little over AN HOUR. Close range...the bodies had to be DNA'd. Can you fucking imagine? So, with this true-life nightmare scenario that unfolded a matter of days ago, how in the hell can you say this is okay--that's just how it is? How can you be so numb to this, that you turn the other way when common sense people call for common sense regulations? How can you blame the teachers for "leaving the door unlocked"? How can you call for more guns and more people to be armed when all the guns in the city of Uvalde were cocked an loaded outside of the school, but not preventing a nightmare from unfolding inside? How do you keep regurgitating the same talking points, deflecting the main issue, and blaming the other party for this? A mentally fucked-up 18yr old LEGALLY bought semi-automatic weapons, 30 round magazines, over 300 rounds of ammo, and killed a bunch of babies. But you keep pounding that goddamn 2nd Amendment drum, just like Sean and Tucker, Ted, Greg and Donald, because it's your God-Given Right to easily purchase a weapon of war. Listen to yourselves. The Second Amendment was written in 1791, by MEN. White males wrote the second amendment, not God. It was written well before semi-automatic, high-capicity rifles were invented and marketed (very well) to heartless, soulless, brainless, nutjobs who value a highly unnecessary military weapon over human life. Nobody is banning all guns. That's ridiculous. It's very doubtful that anyone is going to take our guns--AR-15-style or otherwise. But "no shit" regulations can be put in place to prevent murderous assholes from killing our kids. It's not a solve-all, but it's a fucking start. Make it at least just a little more difficult for whackjobs to obtain a gun. A fucking speed bump, man. It's a start. How in the hell can we not even come close to agreeing on that? It shouldn't matter if you vote Republican or Democrat, live in the Midwest or NYC, live in the sticks or a condo, are blue collar or a doctor, your buddies at work preach 2nd Amendment, the boys at the bar are all about guns, your golf bros are staunch conservatives...it doesn't fucking matter, man. Use your brain, your brain, to make the decision that this is fucked up. Because it is. Deep down you know it is. Like I said, guns are fun and to a point, necessary to some. So I don't mind jumping through a few hoops to prove that I can handle one, physically and mentally. I'd actually feel a lot better if I had to jump through a few more hoops. Means the crazies are hopefully getting stuck in the red tape. That's a good thing. So don't get duped. Don't let money sway your conscious. The NRA backs gun owners...because gun owners buy guns, dummy. Mass shootings increase fear, and gun purchases. The NRA makes it easier for more people to buy guns, be it the mentally unstable, 18yr olds, or both. They "support the rights of gun owners" because it makes them money. They pay Ted and Greg and Donald to do their talking. They, along with the manufacturers, would like to see an all-out wild west where everyone is armed and shooting at each other. Think of all the money they would make. Think of all the money they're making right now after a mass school shooting in Texas. All the people that are scared. All the people that feel the need to have an AR-15 in order to combat another AR-15. Protection. I get it...and so do they. Anyone who doesn't see a problem, is a problem. Anyone who doesn't think it's wrong for a mentally unstable 18yr old man-boy to legally buy an arsenal to shoot up a school of littles, is unstable. Stop blaming others. Stop ignoring the problem just because you want to easily purchase a gun to have fun with--your hobby. And yes, shooting guns is a hobby. Hunting is a hobby. Target practice is a hobby. So just stop it and use your brains and your heart for a change. Put a speed bump in place to slow lawbreakers down. Remember, the gunman didn't have booze or weed on him--not old enough. He had machine guns--plenty old enough. That's fucked up. So, "Unapologetic American", you're not apologizing for loving your gun more than children's lives? You have the second amendment tattooed on your man-tit, even though the founding fathers (men, not God) would be appalled by how it's been twisted and "adopted" in 2022. The 2nd Amendment, the American Flag, the Bible, God--all manipulated to fit into a certain culture and agenda. It's time to amend the second amendment. You didn't seem to mind when Prohibition was ratified. Let's get up to date on this 230yr old Constitution that people hang on to so they can have fun with guns. People are being murdered at a very alarming rate, but "my rights" seem to trump that shit...pun intended. Dude, you're just an asshole. An Unapologetic American Asshole. Please wake up, folks. My kids' lives might very well depend on it.
