Fearless Gun Owner Takes on America's Looming Chihuahua Threat

[Gutenberg]

I had no idea that bad manners were subject to the death penalty. Would you mind giving us your address so we can avoid you altogether?

Only you would herald this person as a "poster boy" for gun ownership.

The accurate correlation is to hold accountable and bring to justice the person who sold that truck to the guy.

More like sad reality of gun ownership. Fscking twat! If the dog was on a leash as they suggest would have prevented this, there's a high likelihood the kid and the dog would have gotten gunned down by gun nutter next door at some point.

While I do agree that this is a ridiculous situation. There's nothing in the article to suggest the sensationalist reaction you've posted here.
I disagree. I think the mere action of shooting and killing a chihuahua in this manner is proof enough that the person is well capable of such craziness. In case there was any confusion, I didn't mean the child would be killed intentionally (although, with such craziness on display, one can never really know).

I was suggesting that perhaps NRA advertisers need to look elsewhere. Trouble is, the only places to look for options are either anachronistic -harkening back to a metaphorical wild west in which men had small dicks and no aggression impulse control - or utterly invented- your school, wife, daughter or self will be safe and protected by virtue of carrying a gun.

There are no poster boys for the NRA that pass even the most cursory inspection for veracity.
Except possibly for those people who are still living at the fringes of the natural world and really do have polar bears coming through their doors at night, as I've said before.

Or what vik(m) said...

And back to cars again. Jesus does this conversation get old.

Can't we just all add a slogan to our sigs as to whether we are for or against gun control and simply stop discussing it? It's the same tired old cars and Australia and mental health and 2nd amendment yada yada yada over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Nothing new has been said on this topic since December.

I do have to admit that murdering a teeny little family pet was a new one, but in no time at all we all fell into our usual patterns. BORING.

And from my experience in London, that's very applicable to Brits. Good thing you have restrictive gun laws. I felt unsafe anyway.
