(10,340 posts)30. Fuck guns and anybody who defends them
Personally I find it disgusting that gun-lovers continue to cling to their precious assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, etc. It seems that every week or so we read about some new mass-shooting.
But yet Mr. NRA Gun-Lover insists that he needs to have his AR-15 with 30-round magazine in order to repel some mythical invasion.

Just to be clear, because I know that there are gun-lovers who will nit-pick my post. I'm not saying that an AR-15 with 30-round magazine was used in this particular crime. It's the overall mentality of "gotta have my guns" that I despise.
