What's this?

I doubt that loser troll (a) really believes that, or (b) has ever actually

fired a gun before. Another loudmouth pussy getting his jollies by trolling the internet, mostly.

What really happens, IMHO, is the right wing propaganda machine does the NRA and gun lobby’s bidding by pushing out these idiotic narratives every time this happens, and being authoritarians who prefer being ruled (by their god, military strongmen, dictator types like Trump) they dutifully parrot the message without much thought other than “this is what my team tells me to say” and “LOLz look how triggurred this gits the libbtardz.”

It’s sad because the people out there buying AR-15s and such are much closer to mass shooting violent psychopaths than they are dads who have a pistol in a lock box in the off chance they need it to protect their families (still not a good policy choice, but understandable). This should be a no-brainer, but then again so should accepting that a guy who won by 10 million votes and a hundred electoral votes really did win the election….these are neither smart nor stable people.
