Six people have just fallen victim to a man with guns (who subsequently killed himself) in California.

The statement above is similar to something heard all too often in the American media, and every time it happens a bunch of dickless John Wayne wannabes come out and attack anyone (verbally or in text) who wants to do something about this problem (epidemic of firearm violence would be more descriptive and give an idea of scale than problem, but it’s a problem nonetheless).

The usual bullshit is trotted out.

Cars kill more people than guns, do you want to ban them too?

Knives also kill people, do you want to ban them too?

I could beat someone to death using a chair leg or stab them in the neck with a fork, do you want to ban those?

People who use this kind of rhetoric must think the rest of us are as simple minded as they are, and that we’ll fall for this fucking crap.

Each and every single person who blurts out these regurgitated sound bites appears to be blissfuly ignorant of the fact that none of these other things are designed with the purpose of killing living things quickly and with next to no effort (unlike guns). Sure, some knives are designed for combat, but you won’t find those amongst your fucking cutlery and they’re still an order of magnitude easier to defend yourself against than some toothless prick holding a shotgun 10 feet away.

They don’t seem to realise just how much easier it is to defend yourself against any kind of weapon which isn’t projectile based and/or explosive. Take guns away from the general population and people who would otherwise have been needlessly killed will live.

I understand that you’re paranoid as fuck because the talking heads over at Faux Noise have been paid to fill that empty shell on top of your neck with nonsense that keeps the cash flowing towards their sponsors, and that they play to your prejudices in an effort to make you believe that it’s you and them against ‘the other‘ and you’d better be armed to protect yourself and your family against your impending interment at your local FEMA camp, but in reality you’re just a moron working a shit job to make money so you can hand it over to your lords and masters.

It’s a shame, you’re trapped inside a cage that you can’t see, and you love it so much that you’re willing to put yourself and your family at risk of being blown away by other dickless morons just to protect it.

For those of you who think a gun is good for defence, try hiding behind one the next time someone is shooting at you and tell me how many bullets it manages to deflect, if you survive.

I’m fully aware of the brainless horse shit you numbskulls like to spew, so I’ve switched off the comments. This would be the part where you cry about being denied your first amendment rights while being completely ignorant to the fact that the first amendment right to free speech concerns government censorship. This is a private website, on a private web server, I have no obligation to provide you with a platform for your turgid crap.
