    Any Democrat or leftist in a gun club could have told you this a decade ago. They literally want us dead. Never forget that they’re monsters, even the loved ones that raised you.

      Definitely an interesting world for people to dip their toe into if they haven’t. If anything to foster a better understanding of their fellow citizens.

        I go to the range every week now that I am retired. Last Thursday I stopped in a gun store in Marion, NC on the way home. I have sent in there a few times just to look. On the door as you go in is Calvin pissing on Polisi sticker on the door and Trump shirts hanging on display. I am looking at stuff and some old fat fuck is filling out forms. Anyway to make a long story short I asked about the 30 cal machine gun on display and related a story about how the mechanics mounted a huge ass 50 cal on their HUMVEE when I was in Iraq. The old fat fuck into into how Cubans are ingenious on fixing things and how we need to make them the 51st state. The shop owner agreed. I asked, “hey man are you willing to signup and help with that?” The fat fuck said. " yeah sure. " So I just laughed and walked out. I have numerous gun shop stories like that. Usually I will asked, " sounds like you might have served? What unit were you with?" The response is almost always, " I was not in the military." I like to call them chickhawks because they are more than willing to send someone else into the shit but not willing to go themselves.

      Nobody wants you dead bruh. Contrary to popular belief we value life. ALSO Democrats are the ones who have taken lives…

        Maybe value life as an asset to trade and exploit. You value the lives you can control, but not the ones you can’t.

        However, If you want this to be true, then do better! Fight back on stupid policy positions on abortion, healthcare, guns and pedophiles.

        Are you actually a republican/conservative on LEMMY of all places, for real, or trolling?

        It must feel like walking into the wrong bar or something.

        I am not gatekeeping, just curious how you stumbled here.

        I hope you recover from being used. It sucks, but there are plenty of people that left that sick mental state and didn’t have to sacrifice all their conservative values.

                Yup. From a conservative Republican Mormon family raised in the gun culture.

                Welp… there it is.

                  You are ruining his non-point! If it helps, remember, conservatives don’t know what the words they use mean, only how they make them feel. “Killed a Republican” = Leftist…it doesn’t matter that most recent political murders against conservatives were from other conservatives, they don’t do facts. The same with communist or socialism. They don’t actually know what those words mean, they just know “unga bunga feel-bad word make BIGLY MAD!” Once you learn that, it helps debate them more effectively.

              For the record, I don’t think it was for not being right wing enough. I think it was for being the hateful person he was, combined with the shooter being indoctrinated into the violent right-wing mentality and then caring for someone who was a common Kirk target.

            So that’s one, and a doubtful one at that. Got any others since you think it’s such a big problem?
