So he bought a handgun. And last year, at the height of social justice protests and scattered violence, he bought an AR-15. During the pandemic, first-time gun owners spurred record levels of gun sales for what looks like the second year in a row, with uncertainty, political polarization, and a spike in shootings around the country cited as reasons for the buying spree.
Basically he thinks guns are bad juju but not so much when it comes to protecting his piece of the rock. Hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteI made it to the fourth sentence. When one reads “social justice protests” instead of riots and looting, that’s all I need to read to know this story is BS.
ReplyDeleteHello Mr. Cook, It's not about "gun control". It's about "people control".
ReplyDelete"Rights, after all, change over time, says Mr. O’Connor."
ReplyDeleteNO, they don't. Your rights are eternal.
Rights are purely theoretical unless exercised - it's as simple as that. Most haven't been exercised, and so have been lost. What remains will be lost soon enough.
DeleteI see it as highly problematic. The main reason the gun rights movement has done so well is we got rid of the fuddtard useful idiots.They did far more to destroy gun rights than any outright shitlib.An influx of squishy "I own a gun,but...." types may be more of a problem than they're worth.
ReplyDelete" A majority of gun owners support both ideas."
ReplyDeleteBullshit. Maybe a majority of Yahoo news readers.

ReplyDeleteUh! pick me up off the floor - someone please - I can't stop laughing.
This is typical of the drivel that's been coming out of Yahoo's ____ for quite a few years now.
Yep.
DeleteDon't give a fuck what they support. They don't speak for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a "Yahoo" story.
ReplyDeleteOf course it's stupid and for morons.
I support no amount of gun control. Let the felons have em too - as if they don't already - and that problem will take care of itself.
ReplyDelete"A majority support universal background checks." Because they don't know what that means. They're the same people who think there is a gun show loophole.
ReplyDeletefudds gonna fudd.
ReplyDeleteGeorge would be the quintessential brain dead leftist. I guarantee that George voted a straight (D)ick ticket and subscribes to the typical leftist outlook...."rules are for thee, not for me". George...and all like him...are parasites and need to be eradicated.
ReplyDeleteOk Kenny you're going to have to start labeling the links, if it's a link to ; yahoo, cnn, bloomberg or anything like these trash sites. Help a brother out and help kill some of the traffic to that shit.
ReplyDeleteJD
That's 99% of my links! Damned near everything is a Bloomberg link one way or another.
DeleteJust hover your mouse over the link and it'll show you where it comes from.
Oh as an aside the spambot, addware and spyware filters will usually not go to lots of those sites, Bloomberg esp, unless I override the flter. What does that say about them ? Hmm

I have 2 tablets I use for internet browsing, 1 has spell check and that's usually the one I used when my spelling is all fucked up, weird huh. Unfortunately neither have a mouse or a provision to add one, I know slumming huh. In this situation I don't know where the link is going to being me until I click it.

Not sure 'bout your tablet. Mine, if I push and hold on link, a little window opens, that asks WHAT I want to do with the link. The address in question shows at top. I can then choose, Go, Copy, etc., or tap out and close the box, no action taken.
