From the Big 'L' Liberalism Department...

um, yeah.

a week removed from the whole VATECH episode, now that the heat of the moment has passed:

GUN CONTROL, BITCHES. a big fat steaming pile of gun control, placed on the front porch of every gun owner in the country, for each of them to step in.

sorry, we're revoking your right to bear arms -- a right that didn't really exist to begin with without some interesting linguistic gymnastics where the second amendment is concerned -- because GUNS ARE MADE FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO KILL PEOPLE.

if you still want to hunt, set traps. pretty sure there's no way the VATECH killer could have taken 32 innocent lives with bear traps.

"but dude, you're like infringing on our civil rights." false. and also, deal with it.

"yes, but we need the guns to protect ourselves during home invasions." also false, just a big fat lie big as karl rove's neck fat. there has never been a study that has proven, or even come remotely close to proving, that people who own guns are safer and will be able to protect their families from violent assault. NOT ONE SINGLE STUDY OR STATISTIC. it's not even anecdotal. it's just a made-up idea. on the other hand, studies have shown that


"A gun kept in the home is 22 times more likely to be used in an unintentional shooting (4 times), a criminal assault or homicide (7 times), or an attempted or completed suicide (11 times) than to be used to injure or kill in self-defense."

these are the facts. and they are irrefutable.
