54. I'm not buying into media manipulation
Sat Sep 7, 2013, 02:03 AM
Sep 2013

My heart turned to stone in July - and that's that. I find no reason to be understanding towards anyone who blows a kids face off. If you want that - then you are in the wrong group.

It is completely rational to have zero tolerance for stupidity by gun owners.

Here's what you didnt read as a one day old member - both my husband and myself are ready and willing to go through extensive retroactive background checks - but then we are not insane, don't believe the "others" or the Gub'mint are out to get us, and would never unload a fire arm for shits and giggles.

Read between the lines on that.


So nope - I'm not going to be kissy face and "oh poor man" over this shooter. Basic gun training says - do not ever point a gun at another human being unless you intend to kill them because by design - that is their very purpose.

Guns are designed to kill.

He had one intent. . . if you start from there. Maybe you were taught differently. That was your father's right. But my father taught me to never point the damn thing at another human being unless you intend to kill them. This was not a three year old with irresponsible parents - this was a so called grown assed man and he needs to be punished - severely. He shattered that little boy's face.

Do you or do you not agree - he shattered a little boy's face?

It's that simple my friend - its that simple.

If you cannot see that, then this group at DU is not for you. As well, as you stick around over the years - you would be wise to not try to "control the conversation" in the way the mainstream media does. I'm not going to shut up and go away or be bullied into shutting up and going away because someone needs the vapors because "my language and beliefs" upset their delicate sensibilities.
