All Hail the Second Amendment

[Opoponax]

Nah, they ostracize the more rational gun organizations already. We'd just into the bucket with them.

It would lead to an arms race.

"Shit, Cletus, the atheists are arming themselves! I heard about this at church the other day. You know, Revelation. It's started! The end is near! Let's pray and then go buy some more guns. Maybe we can kill a few of these sons-of-bitches before we're raptured! Ain't no limit on atheists!"

To use a phrase I learned in the army from the multitude of hillbillies present there: that ain't no joke. 

An armed atheist organization would only represent identifiable Bad Guys With Guns that The Lord would approve of gunning down in short order. 

I am upping my number of guns and requisite ammo, but that's because I am genuinely afraid of what Trump's government may bring us. I'll admit it smacks of paranoia and uselessness, but still, I have this vision of an army of drooling, blood-lusting Informants for Trump (or something like that). I just feel real fear right now. I can't help it. Maybe it'll pass and I'll get rid of my new acquisitions for a fair price, but until then, I'm a spineless libtard that won't go quietly.

There's also a big sense of "fuck it." Guns aren't going anywhere in my lifetime, and I do enjoy them, so fuck it, I'll enjoy my new AK-47. I saw a sweet .44 mag revolver today too. For a minute I'd decided to buy it, but the guy behind the counter was so fucking lazy I changed my mind.

Missouri gun shop settles for $2.2 million in wrongful-death lawsuit

A Missouri firearms shop on Tuesday settled in a wrongful-death case, an outcome that the gun safety movement views as a precedent that will have national repercussions on gun dealer liability—a view not shared by those in the industry. Odessa Gun & Pawn has agreed to pay $2.2 million to settle a lawsuit that alleged it negligently sold a weapon to a mentally ill woman who used the gun to kill her father.

There's a shop in Union, Missouri, that advertises "shotguns and wedding gowns".

For a change of pace, no dead kids in this article, but an idiot who thinks that state law trumps federal law, so decided to manufacture and sell silencers at his gun shop because Kansas passed a law saying that federal gun laws are null and void:

This guy and his shop are just up the road from me.

Personally I don't think he has a leg to stand on, but if this goes to a conservative-stacked Supreme Court who knows what could happen.  Could we see fully-automatic firearms being manufactured in states which declare federal law to be null and void?  Because that's what we really need, idiots running around with more rapid firepower.

We already had the nullification crisis. It led to a civil war.

I don't think we want to go down that route again.

[Minimalist]

Yes, they do.

Alana Annette Savell, 32, was hosting a couple at her Panama City home when the visitors apparently became noisy.
Police say she ordered them to go, before shooting the man and woman in the legs. The victims went to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Yay, 'Murrica.

Arkansas woman fatally shot after hunter mistakes her for a deer 

The woman, whose name was not released, died Tuesday morning after a man, who was hunting with his son, mistook her for a deer and accidentally shot her, according to the Searcy County Sheriff's Office.

Um, no.  He mistook her for a deer and DELIBERATELY shot her. 

So here, as a benefit for stupid Arkansas hunters, is a little primer.


Deer - harmless woodland animal



Woman - Walmart shopper.
