You know, to him, the 3X Trump voters, we are just knuckle dragging Cretans on the wrong side of history. Whereas he is the highfalutin, ascot wearing, cerebral liberal.
He literally reminds me of Todd Chester from Christmas Vacation. Uber beta male, minus the wife part of course, lmao.
You forgot to tell us how much you don’t hate “the gaays” and trans people, like the other guys did. Or are you not even trying to pretend?

The articles on the net pretty much all say how much AR-15 has grown in popularity over the last several years.
The gun shops on the net say there has been massive amounts of people not wanting them now and trading them in or selling them outright. They say it's a good time to buy the second hand ones with deals that haven't been seen before. Racks well over stocked with the demand not there.
Miss working at a sporting goods store this time of season. We would sell ammo way cheaper than you could load yourself. Bad thing is that stuff is so heavy.
I was at Grice's in Clearfield last weekend...I agree...lots of good second hand deals for 5.56...also 6.5 creed...if the US actually curbs shipments to Mexico the prices will drop even more...gonna be a real wild west here again soon.
So what do you mean by “gonna be a real Wild West here again soon?” Does where you got this idea from, because it is doubtful that it is original thought, just repeating what was read, listened to, or watched, really think that there will be increased incidences of mass casualty events because the price of certain used firearm platforms (full disclosure, I do not own, have never owned, or desire to own, an AR platform firearm) coming down? Do they, or you, for that matter, think that some hateful, mentally unstable, or attention seeking person is sitting around saying to themselves, “Self, I really want to be involved with a mass shooting, but, budget-wise, at less than $500 for some new platforms, I just can’t swing it. If AR’s would just come down $50 — $75, count me in, because at that price, I can be a fiscally responsible mass murder. And, if I could just get free shipping on ammo, it would be on like Donkey Kong, and I would be able to not only act out a twisted fantasy fueled by artificial hate, but get my few moments of fame in the media, particularly those focused on the tool, not the person.” As moronic as that sounds, that is where the person who originally came up with the idea had to go first that silly of an idea/quote. No one, either two functioning synapses would put forth such an idea unless 1) they are truly that stupid, 2) have an agenda and will not let reason get in the way, and/or 3) they need to get paid to put non-stop ideas or theories, no matter how crazy. But this the begs the question, who is dumber — the person who originally put it out there or the person who repeated it without think what it meant? Keep in mind, “All of the above” is sometimes the answer.

Hey War --the 'other guys' here arent lying or posturing on the subject to appease your opinions. You seem very angry that people are more accepting than you think.

My reference was speaking more to the general state of the country as "The Wild West" based on the interesting state of affairs that we are currently encountering...at least that's what my handlers tell me to say.  And, since it will be the "Wild West", lots of cheap semi-auto rifles should pair nicely.

Very on brand, Todd the NPC, to blanket accuse forum posters of homophobia. I do not hate the alternative lifestyles…keep it professional at work, all I ask. Do whatever you want at home. Don't groom kids, too. Cope harder, loser

Why would you state that “the general state of the country as “The Wild West” based on the interesting state of affairs that we are currently encountering?” What exact state of affairs has some, or any similarities, to what is commonly referred to as the Wild West? And why would less expensive AR platforms come into play?

Because the federal government is being somewhat dismantled/recreated and that creates an environment that is unstable, very much like the "Wild West". I live in an area of the state that is dominated by federal jobs, I have a federal job, many, many of my friends have federal jobs. Many of my friends work in federal law enforcement (customs, ICE, prisons, FBI). Things are changing daily. There is great fluidity. I have friends that are cheering the changes, I have friends (NIH) that are horrified and I many friends that are at what I would say is the cautious stage. Much like walking into a western town...cautious. A great hallmark of being a first world country is "STABILITY". There are many people right now that do not have it.
Secondly, since there is so much in-STABILITY...like a Wild West town, people get cautious, paranoid, angry, defensive and in case you haven't noticed...THIS IS AMERICA...when Americans get cautious, paranoid, angry, defensive, they generally buy guns. Remember the Obama debacle? Yup...sooo, cheap AR platforms fit well considering the American penchant for purchasing firearms when there is instability. If someone can walk into a gun store and spend $500 on a pistol, rifle or AR because purchasing a gun is their reflex action to instability, which one do you think they will buy?
If I change the analogy to a "midwestern cattle town post Civil War" does that lessen the blow for you?
Generally, the "Wild West" loves itself some guns and the ARs are a pretty attractive and increasingly cheap gun. This is America, people shoot each other...a lot. That's all I was saying.

DG: They may be trolling with these gestures, but that doesn't mean they're not low-life scum. Years ago a local journalist, Salena Zito, observed that the press, in particular, took Trump literally, but not seriously. The flip side was that Trump supporters took him seriously, but not literally. Extending that logic to Trump's media sycophants and stand-ins, his supporters can laugh off things like nazi salutes as trolling or "just making a general point." I'm done with slippery logic like this. Having seen his first act and the start of 2.0, I choose to take him seriously and literally. He and his brand don't deserve a shred of the benefit of a doubt...not even a little.

Lets hope he can get this turned around sooner than later. His first terms total approval for 1/4 one rating was the worst among any president since WW2. Trump’s Rating Better Than First Term, Worse Than All Presidents Since 1953 for the first month.Trump's job approval rating is 15 points below the historical average for all other elected presidents in mid-February since 1953, but it is five points higher than his first term at this time.

Since my Dad earned 4 Purple Hearts in WWII, froze his feet during the Battle of the Bulge that effected him the rest of his life, ruined his hearing, saw 6 of 10 of his small town friends not come home, shot people in the face at arms length before they did the same to him, and had a brother carried out with Murrells Marauders, I know what he would think — there is real evil in this world and it needed confronted (he gave up a full boat scholarship to Rice Medical school to go to war for what he thought was right, never was able to get back to school, ended up getting laid off 3 times, each under a democratic administration, all of which he voted for by the way, because that is what union members did, and died a hollow shell of what he thought a man should be for his generation) and there is faux outrage at mindless crap, often made up, staged, or deliberately interpreted by those who are far less than he was, went through far less than he did, and seek far more attention over nothing. So yeah, getting one’s knickers in a knot over something like this, when living the privileged life that his sacrifice, his brother’s sacrifices, his town’s sacrifices is a kin to getting fooled again by “pull my finger” and thinking it is of some great importance.

Stats of the States - Firearm Mortality
Not at all surprising some of you guys still don't understand how to interpret statistics after the last 5 years. Your CDC map is the rate of all firearms deaths by population. That would include suicide, accidental shootings, deaths by law enforcement, justifiable homicide by citizens in self defense, etc. Do you not understand the problem in using that to refute what you're trying to refute? Statistically, the number is probably actually closer to 90% percent of homicides by firearm happening in about 5-7% of US counties every year, with some variations year to year. The pattern holds but expands slightly for the very general crimes committed with firearms. No matter how much you want to white wash it, gun violence in the US is overwhelmingly concentrated in areas and among specific demographics that people never really want to talk about. And handguns are the most often used weapons in gun crimes by a wide margin. Not scary black rifles. Or red, white, and blue ones. You make it sound like your fellow government employees are really unstable and prone to violence.

If there was ever any doubt that MAGA was about retribution, not governance, it’s all coming out now.
More like “screw you,” I’ve been laid off 4 times in my career, all by actions directly attributable to Democrat administrations, despite education and hard work, so I didn't get mine, now it’s your turn to experience what the private sector has. Is that retribution or turn about is fair play? Either way, welcome to the world outside the bubble.

I'm just calling a spade a spade...Americans are violent, any way you cut it. And, we have lots of cheap guns that are made to kill people. That's it, that's all, no agenda, no GOTCHA...if you don't agree with those two points then I'm not sure you're dealing in reality. Americans are prone to gun violence...of all types. That is my point. Why is that? We could talk about that all day but my initial point was that when economic and societal pressures are put on people that is certainly a trigger...for suicide, homicide, patricide, infanticide...whatever. We shoot ourselves and each other at alarming rates. We're also great at providing guns that are specialized to kill ourselves and each other for very reasonable prices, mainly hand guns...YOU ARE CORRECT. But, this $hit is cheap. That was my original point about the ARs at Grices...literally, just an observation. Aaaannnndd...if you dont' think America IS still the "Wild West" in a lot of ways then yinz spend waaaayyy more time at the country club than I do. Get out there and see...but take your gunz, you're going to need them.  Here are the counties...based on CDC data...interesting stuff... How Have the Top Counties For Firearm Homicides in the United States Changed Over the Past 5 Years?

...and actually, I don't think suicide should be excluded in any discussion of violence in our country, gun or otherwise...it's a telling stat that speaks to the mental health of our country which is directly related to gun violence.

No matter how much you want to white wash it, gun violence in the US is overwhelmingly concentrated in areas and among specific demographics that people never really want to talk about. And handguns are the most often used weapons in gun crimes by a wide margin. Not scary black rifles. Or red, white, and blue ones.
You make it sound like your fellow government employees are really unstable and prone to violence.
most people believe what they "want' to believe, Snagr
To make it worse, their "perceptions" blinds them to reality

Why don't you help me out Genie and explain to me what I "believe" and what my blind spots are? My wife is at work so she can't explain my deficiencies right now.

Welcome to the public sector,
There ya go, classic conservative. “Screw you, I got mine”.
If there was ever any doubt that MAGA was about retribution, not governance, it’s all coming out now.
Have you stopped stealing from your employer?

More like “screw you,” I’ve been laid off 4 times in my career, all by actions directly attributable to Democrat administrations, despite education and hard work, so I didn't get mine, now it’s your turn to experience what the private sector has.
I’m a little skeptical about the “directly attributable to democrat administration” part, let’s just say that part is accurate. Why should anybody wish suffering or hardship on others, just because they had to endure it? Is that in the Bible or something? Is that how we should govern the country? Just take turns screwing over groups of fellow citizens?
