    So you don't see the pathetic irony of standing in front of a Christmas tree with guns........very sad because that's kind of the whole point of what AOC is saying.
    Liberal cities? There are utopian conservative cities out there? What are you talking about?!! No, the left wasn't silent, there wasn't an issue of his color but you seem to have one. "That black kid...." . Can you give an example of where someone on this forum addressed a school shooting with "That white kid.....?

    So that picture is promoting gun safety? Are you seriously saying that? THAT's the point of the picture because as a photographer, I ain't picking up that vibe.
    Well, he's white, so it doesn't matter if you show those pictures of him at a trial. We just had that proven.
    Well, they both have firearms so......neither!!! What the hell point are you making with that statement!!! Am I supposed to think (at 2am, your scenario) that "Oh, the white kid with the rifle has eye protection on so he must be a responsible gun owner......at 2am, in Chicago.

    It's not semantics as I was rebutting Arkanis's claim that "This gun culture is a poison pushed by one of the most deadly lobby in this country". Granted, I am assuming that he/she/him/her literally thinks the Gun lobby is the deadliest lobby group in this country and I was accurately pointing out that Pharmaceutical companies, to which have been fined billions of dollars for malice intent of their product and have cost vastly more lives in this country than any firearm group, are the 4th largest lobbyist group in this nations.

    And if you are unfamiliar with one of the most infamous case regarding pharmaceutical lobbying of the AMA to the FDA to get some, well, favorable labeling and even lobbied to have these types of prescription administered at the GP level was the Purdue Pharma case and Oxycotin.

    Here's the thing
    A gun enthusiast? To take your other point, isn't that like saying that some people are just OxyContin enthusiasts? No, it's not, because Oxy has a purpose other than the use the addict is using it for. Guns have a specific purpose.....to kill. Doesn't matter who has it in their hands, when they have it in their hands, that's the purpose. It's purpose isn't to go to a range to put holes in paper. You put the holes in the paper as practice to put holes in a living thing.

    Wow. Just wow.

    Global warning has been a liberal money making scare tactic for over 50 years and in that time has any costal city been flooded or anyone murdered by global warming? You can’t name a single city or death definitively tied to global warming, but I can give the names of thousands of people who were killed by illegal aliens, there’s a web site just for that purpose. There is no global warming, the ice caps are growing and science has recently said what ever warming is occurring started in the 1800s. But the true brainwashed won’t believe it, they’d rather get their facts from a mentally damaged foreign teenager with a constant scowl on her face.

    If masks and vaccines work, then why are masked and vaccinated people getting the China virus?

    Lethal white supremacists? Where? Show me their body count and once again I will point you to the body count of illegals. And the high body count doesn’t just come illegals, there’s also all that diversity in St Louis, Detroit, Baltimore and other democrat cities who rake in dead bodies by the thousands every year. Lethal white supremacists…anyone who believes that is too far gone to debate with.

    You are right.

    They are also used to shoot children in a school and take nice pictures around the Christmas tree.

    Let me know when a gun manufacturer is sued for the same things that the pharma is. Gun manufacturers are protected against it.

    I think showing people that guns can be respected by kids is a good thing. More people should teach their kids to respect guns rather than fear them.

    Suddenly race isn’t an issue for the left. I Find that odd since a white kid shooting other whites and a white guy winning an election over a white guy was called racist by the left. I don’t have an example of what you’re looking for because I don’t make race the single largest factor in an issue, but I will say every time a white person does something to a black guy the races are right there in the headline, not so when the races are reversed.

    Congratulations on not being in the majority.

    And my incomprehension of someone who is a proud member of a party that despises him.

    Those who are openly racist on this forum are all Republicans.

    That's got to reinforce your sense of belonging.

    I see nothing wrong with her picture. I love to see kids learn and enjoy their 2nd amendment right.

    He was just taught proper gun safety by three border patrol agents, that gun belongs to them. Before buying my kid a gun we both took the NRA safety course at Fort Bliss.

    The picture of my kid in the Santa outfit is almost done with his hunter safety. I’m excited to hunt with him as well. It’s a great pastime

    So if the kids got cell phones and a picture was taken of them holding up the phones, would that be considered as "glorifying cell phones"? What if they held up an X-box? Glorifying X-boxes? What if a kid got a hunting knife for Christmas and a picture was taken? Glorifying knives?

    Kids holding their Christmas presents isn't glorifying their presents.

    Of course you would feel that way because you seem to dislike guns. For others, it isn't reveling at all. Many youngsters start hunting in their very early years, and are members of cohesive families who spend their time in the outdoors - great parents and great kids. Firearms happen to be a part of that - again, not reveling in the "power" of guns.

    Your continued depravity of the discussion is really starting to make you look silly as you have a strange inability to see the lack of consistency between the two arguments. It's not the gun that commits the suicide or shoots a person as it's an inanimate object. A Narcotic prescribed under the guise of being safe that eventually leads to addiction and eventual overdose that impacts vastly more people in this country is the bigger picture you are missing.

    It's just weird that it was the Republican who were the defenders of big Pharma in the day... Now it's Democrats...

    looks like he was looking to get a nice warm bed for the holidays, but they're throwing him back on the streets

    So, there used for those things. And for fighting wars with an enemy, defending yourself from criminals, defending yourself from governmental over reach, hunting, keeping the papers in place on the desk, having fun, hunting, oh and defending yourself from criminals who'd kill you while some coward refuses to address criminal problems.

    I miss any?

    Again, how does gun manufactures make people shoot other people again? Pharmaceutical companies have literally committed fraud saying they are less addictive and or are safe for long term use. You really have an inability to discern the difference here!

    Mostly in democrat run cities. Mostly by handguns. I understand you abhor freedom but then as a lefty you probably are not aware of the constitution and taking care of yourself.
