My brother the gun nut...

Last edited Thu Feb 22, 2018, 05:27 PM - Edit history (1)

My brother, the ultimate gun nut. He collects them. He even has an assault rifle (put away...he doesn't shoot it). He goes to the shooting range. He lovingly cleans his guns and is always on the lookout for yet another gun. He is a strong 2nd Amendment supporter. He thinks the government tried to take guns and ammo away from the citizens a few years ago, when the local shops ran out of ammo (I asked him...you don't think the shops were out because there had been a run on the ammo, and the stores sold out? He just looked at me, as if he hadn't considered that. I mean, Target runs out of clothing, if something's popular and there's a run on it.)

I'm telling you all this to tell you...my brother is fine with assault rifles being banned. In fact, he thinks they SHOULD be. He says they are war weapons and don't belong out in the general public. Those gun shocks, or whatever those things are called - those should be banned, too, he thinks. These type of things serve no useful purpose except to kill people, he said.

He used to be an NRA member, but left a couple of years ago after one of those shootings where an assault rifle was used.

Just letting you know: There ARE 2nd Amendment supporters who will agree to, or go along with, some control bills.

Does your brother even show up to Thanksgiving anymore? I would disown your DUmmie ass.

First, it's a lie.
And if it wasn't, its brother is an idiot too.

Yes, those gun shocks can be quite shocking, specially the high voltage ones that hold 30 or more volts.

I plan on calling my electric company right now and having them destroy all their shocks.  :loser: :loser:

IIRC, rifles are seldom used in mass shootings. Las Vegas and this one are the only ones that come quickly to mind.

There were no assault rifles used in any mass shooting that I can remember.

Is this DUmmie implying a class III license holder committed a mass shooting or was that a stolen assault rifle was used?

A couple if tip-offs that this :bouncy: is at least partially fictional:

* The DU-member makes a big deal of how the supposed brother cleans and cares for his weapons. A real gun enthusiast would have set dumb brother straight in two sentences: "I invested $X00 or $Y000 in this ______. Damn straight I'm taking care of it!" IOW, if DU-member really had a gun enthusiast brother he would know there was nothing remarkable about taking care of the guns.

* IRL, gun enthusiasts are protective, not only of there own rights, but the rights of all gun owners. They get, "First they came for ...." So the conclusion of this :bouncy: is dubious on its face.

Oh no, anything but. Donna has a slew of siblings:

I'm counting five sisters (one deceased), three brothers. Can't find any verification in her story among the three brothers, but if it's this one:
