The Maine Gun Culture
You don't suppose these guys are the only ones with the sick fascination for guns that's described in the video? No, they're not. The gun culture from coast to coast is well populated with young men like this. They learned it from their older brothers and their fathers. It's a sickness and the only medicine is better gun control laws.

Your hate-filled rants about the gun culture crack me up.
ReplyDeleteMy culture isn't going to go away, just because you hate us, and want us destroyed. We are, after all, by virtue of our Second Amendment advocacy, in the genocide prevention business.
If I was a youngster today, my myspace page would say, "I like girls in bikinis!"
ReplyDeleteThe culture of stupids.
ReplyDelete"It's a sickness and the only medicine is better gun control laws."
ReplyDeleteNo, actually the solution is to better teach and practice safe firearms handling procedures.
Exactly what law can prevent a person from aiming a gun at their friend or family member and prevent them from pulling the trigger?
"It's a sickness and the only medicine is better gun control laws."
If you are correct then the nation wide push for concealed carry,open carry, constitutional carry, and various other expansions of gun liberty will result in more deaths and accidents...but it hasn't happened yet and doesn't seem likely.
"The gun culture from coast to coast is well populated with young men like this. They learned it from their older brothers and their fathers. "
ReplyDeletePlease show me an example of anyone teaching young men to violate every safety rule in the book.
Anonymous, Take the guys in the video, one of which is dead already. When guys like that get a little older and become dads, what kind of kids to they raise? You tell me. Are their kids gonna be really safety conscious?
ReplyDeleteZorroy, Your comment is total bullshit. Mine are not "hate-filled rants." And the points I do make have nothing to do with wanting to destroy your culture. Your remark about being in the "genocide prevention business" is pretty funny, though, in that exaggerated self-aggrandizing way that you're so good at.
Mine are not "hate-filled rants."
ReplyDeleteAs a member of the culture you describe as "a sickness," I beg to differ. Well, actually, I don't beg for anything--I'm telling you you're full of shit.
It's my culture whose extinction you seek.
Oh--one more thing: you aren't going to "cure" us by passing one or one thousand more gun laws. For as long as we live, we will be the gun culture.
For as long as we live.
If you get that through your thick skull, you'll know what it will take to "cure" the gun culture.
I suggest you bring back up. Lots of backup, and plenty of body bags. Call that macho, chest-pounding bravado if you wish--you have every right to be full of shit.
Luckily for you.
"Gun Culture" is not the problem - a lack of PROPER gun culture is.
ReplyDeleteWith terrible examples of gun handling in the entertainment media, and a lack of proper gun handling education from parents and peers, it's actually a wonder why gun accidents are at an all-time low.
More safety education from a proper and healthy gun culture could eliminate gun accidents even further.
Don't shun the gun culture, help it educate and make our society safer.
...Orygunner...
Zorroy and Orygunner, are you proud of those young men from Maine in the video? Do you embrace all of the folks just like them from coast to coast as part of your thriving "culture?"
ReplyDeleteOr, can you get honest for just one moment and admit those guys are a problem?

ReplyDeleteI've never seen the video. I think I've mentioned before that my browser doesn't like most of the embedded videos here (YouTube videos seem to work, but nothing else, for whatever reason).
Not sure that it matters, though. Without having seen the video, I'll take your word for it (can't believe I just said that--must be getting old and feeble) that the people in the video are unsavory types. You decided, though, not to condemn just those guys, and their behavior, but to blame the entire gun culture for it.
Consider yourself cordially invited to go fuck yourself.
It's wonderfully gratifying to see that the gun culture is alive, thriving, and growing:
ReplyDeleteToday, Hopkins, who is from Pattonsburg, Mo., is the face of a fast-growing college sport.
Dozens of schools across the country now have clay-target shooting teams. And though competitive shooting is still considered a club sport at most schools, more students are getting involved every year.
Granted, it's just sporting clays, but I suspect it can in many cases serve as a "gateway sport," leading many young shooters to endeavors that will help them learn shooting skills more useful for killing scumbag goblins, jackbooted thugs, and their statist masters (and any other subhumans I may have forgotten).
Great news for the U.S., and for Earth in general.
