In reply to the discussion: Chesco sheep owner charged in killing of two dogs [View all]sigmasix
(794 posts)This story- and the knee-jerk defense of the dog murderer by some gun fetishists- points out the immoral position of those that believe legal gun owners have special powers that give them the ability to do no wrong, while ending the life of another. Lots of gun fetishists have deep emotional issues related to the fantasy of killing another being- and they spend a great deal of time dreaming of, and preparing for the moment they can "legally" end the life of another being with thier oh so sexy arsenal of death tools. Everyone that has spent any time around gun culture intensive areas of the country has met at least one of these blood-lusting, murder fantasy addicts. The original OP only said that the "rancher's sheep may have been herded" by these two pets. It was the usual gun fetish appologists that jumped on the OP with sick excuses and blanket declarations of the ignorance of anyone that would suggest the dog murderer should have found another way.
See, this is the thing that seperates responsible gun owners from NRA members that fantasize about the moment they will be called upon to use thier guns to kill another human being- legally. Responsible gun owner only ever use them as a tool of last resort. NRA nuts see it differently; why try to peacefully negotiate a non-lethal outcome to any situation when the gun fetishist has a legal right to shoot to kill? Those that defended the dog murderer knew that he killed the dogs, but spent loads of energy coming up with anecdotal evidence for the need to kill those dogs on the part of the responsible gun owner.
Gungeoneers were caught red handed applauding the murder of someone's pets and declaring that the right to shoot a living being is sufficient reason to shoot.
Embracing paranoid conspiracy theories about guns and immoral murder fantasies should disqualify someone from having the legal right to own a gun.
Ever.
