Iâve seen a few NRA ads on US tv and that Trump speech of support posted on here.
They are seriously fucked up and a dangerous lobby group.
No matter how fucked up the UK is we donât have (many) guns and those illegal ones in circulation are used by scrotes on each other (mainly)
The US is in denial over the need for gun control and their insistence on the right to bear arms is infantile and based on a false interpretation of their âConstitutionâ
OK⊠the dumb fuckwits aint ever going to give up their ârightâ⊠but why is there even no drive to stop the sale of automatic weapons ? Who needs an M16 or assult rifle, weapons designed for âassultâ, to defend their home or property? The answer is very clear when you look at the 49% of all weapons being owned by Americans⊠Its HUGE business. Business that supports the NRA and business that supports politicians with campaign funds⊠the sort of âconflict of interestâ that used to be a political death nail, but now seems perfectly reasonable in the US and even here to some extent⊠(when the fuck did that happen?).The ONLY way such things will ever chnage is if the lobby/funding/support chain from big business influence over politicians is brokenâŠand sadly we missed that boat a long time ago.
Watching this, makes me question just how fucking ignorant some fuckers have become⊠sounds like he spends too much time with a clenched fist of truth up his arsehole
I know that the Americans pride themselves on service, but isnt getting the bellboy to help carrry a small arsenal of guns up to your room taking things a tad too far?
Not to be outdone, Sen James Inhofe came out with this.
Itâs the existence of âsanctuary citiesâ that creates a lawless culture fostering mass shootings like the one in Las Vegas, he said.
Two days after a lone white American gunman killed more than 58 people in Las Vegas, what is now considered one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history, Inhofe said the country is âinundated with permissive lawsâ â like those in âsanctuary citiesâ where local law enforcement doesnât enforce all federal immigration laws â perpetuating the âcultural problemâ behind mass shooting. âThat has a lot more to do with [mass shootings] than gun owners laws,â
But we need to trade with them and rim them so taht we can feel we have a place in the world? and welike to rim yankee sphincter rather than EuroarseâŠ
Interviewer: Thereâs a concern about guns and mental health
Mel Bernstein: Yeah, well if you get a brain tumour nobody is going to spot that immediately (here Mel is displaying a shocking lack of understanding about the meaning of mental health).
[The piece ends with Mel walking around his house which is decorated like an American diner from the 60s. He discusses being bullied growing up in New York and having to pay 25c for protection and explains that when he got older it was his turn to do the bullying. As his wife died in an explosion a few years back Mel has no company anymore, so dotted around his home are fabric mannequins - all female. He talks to them (about guns and hotrods), drinks coffee with them, puts knickers on them (only when itâs cold). Heâs a good boyfriend he feels.]
Iâm afraid until the majority of Americans see a link between gun ownership and gun deaths, nothing will change.
Perhaps every American family should have to nominate one of their close relatives as expendable as they seem to be unconcerned when a mass shooting doesnât involve one of theirs.
