geek tragedy (24,195 posts)
10. Relax, your family's guns are considered more valuable than the lives of urban children in DC.
The right to own an implement of mass death is more sacrosanct than the right to not die of hunger or preventable disease.
How the **** does my owning guns FOR PROTECTION in rural Oregon where the police CANNOT get here in time to do anything but draw chalk outlines after a crime has been committed, affect you or anyone else (especially poor kids who are only props for you self centered pigs). Frankly, I'd rather have that outline not be mine. There is a freight train that runs by here twice a day...so close I could reach out and touch it. The guys jumping off that train are not the most noble looking folks I've ever seen in my life. You'd be surprised how many of them try to hang out on my property. Casually walking outside with a couple of dogs and a loaded shotgun and asking what they're doing there chases them away every time.
But as far as children go, are you saying people (including children) who DO NOT live in urban DC are LESS important? Because, while it might be rare, it's a possibility, while running around the property with my grandchildren we could run into a bear. Even worse, a mother bear...even worse than that be between a mother bear and her cubs. Personally, I'd rather not have to explain to my son and daughter in law that their children were mauled to death because if I used my guns, children in DC might die through starvation or disease. I'd be committed for life and rightly so.
Try not to be so ****ing selfish and narrow minded! How the hell do you see any connection between the "right to not die of hunger or preventable disease" connected to gun control? To my knowledge, I've never gotten meningitis from my pistol. Heck, not even my shotgun, which is considerably bigger. As for hunger...give those kids free summer camp every year where they can learn to fish, hunt and grow their own food so when they grow up they won't need to depend on you and you're "compassionate" slave ownership. As a bonus, they'd learn common sense nutrition which would help their 3rd generation welfare mothers make better food choices when using our tax dollars to buy groceries.
So tell me, if everyone came out tomorrow and said, "oh, this geek is so wise, let's just give up our guns so no child in DC will go hungry again" how the hell would that work? Sheesh, I bet your family has to nail your foot to the floor when you go to bed at night so you won't get lost when you get up in the morning.
