So what could really be done to take the "love of violence" bit out of the American psyche?

There are two different types of Gun nuts that I see.

The first is the kind that collects guns and gets excited about finding a 1873 model with the right markings. The type that loves to make their own primers and black powder. (me)

The second kind of nut is the type of person that wants to be the most dangerous dude alive. He wants his friends to think "oh god! I hope he never loses it!"

Then there is the bulk of gun owners that don't fit that category but may have bits and pieces of those "Nut" zones.

I am seeing too many of the second type, and the "new age hunter that orgasms over killing animals" types, than I care for at all.

What could be done to "deglorify" violence?

Oh and I did not know this, but the NRA, run by that jackass Lack Principles, in the pocket of gun manufactures, has an "enemies list". And just about every Hollywood star, Jewish groups, black groups, the YWCA, and companies like Ben and Jerrys ice cream is on his "enemies" list.

That organization is a shell of what it once was and is run by a greedy racist fucknut.

1862 bodies in the pile since Sandy Hook

Closing in on the total body count for the Battle of Fredericksburg (1890). Should be there by the time the weekend is over.

"From my cold dead hands" actually has nothing to do with guns. "From my cold dead hands" is talking about the money the gun makers make, and they are far more than willing to let others die to make a buck.

The U.N. should vote to have a picture of a cute kitten on every country's flag.

Here's a little more collateral damage for the gun nuts. I'm sure his parents think they are "responsible" gun owners....right up until their kid blew his head off.

This kid will live apparently which will keep him out of body counts like this:

Now at 2,178 which as predicted blew right by Fredericksburg and has even now slipped past Afghanistan ( at 2,177 ).

As long as there are baseball bats in the world, rocks on the ground, bricks to be found somewhere and not in use, men like the alleged violent unstable defendant in the OP will still have something to work with. The second amendment has nothing to do with that fact.

Guns increase the collateral damage.

We all love the second ammendment.

Right to Bear Arms.

Not necessarily. So that declaration is incorrect.
The potential for collateral damage has no impact on the status or standing of the inalienable rights guaranteed by the 2nd amendment.

So someone with a baseball bat can walk into a crowd and "accidentally" pound the shit out of a bunch of other people who are standing near the target? I don't think so. You are grasping at straws with that one.

Study this carefully.




Perhaps you can absorb the lesson.
