I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The National Rifle Organization is actually a cabal of sentient rifles who believe in their supremacy over humans. Why isn't it called the National Rifle-Owners' Organization, or the National Rifle-Manufacturers' Organization? Why hasn't Wayne LaPierre released X-rays of himself to prove he isn't a rifle operating a meat suit?

This one actually brought home to me just how desperate the gun lobby seems to be this time. The video games bogeyman hasn't been credible for almost ten years now; I can't even remember the last time it was dragged out in earnest. And yet here it is again, being flung at the wall with everything else in the hope that something, anything will stick. It's far to early to say that anything is going to change in the US gun debate. But this is the first time in living memory that I've seen anyone on the winning side afraid that it might.

Lol Republicans aren't even trying to appeal to young people any more, they're just openly insulting them, mocking their deaths, and trying to make them miserable.

Is this the first time the Parkland survivors have been labeled "crisis actors" so far? I feel like the party line has mostly been "they really did survive a mass shooting but they still need to shut up about gun control."

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" from a guy who spent 8 years drawing Obama in the same "pretentious upturned nose" style. "Stop saying that the bad president is bad, that makes you DERANGED!" The entire conservative ideology is just gaslighting the rest of us at this point.

"Trump derangement syndrome" is the most baffling talking point. I can kind of imagine the kind of mind that would value your own toys over the children of strangers, but I have no idea what the hell goes on in the head of someone who voted for a lock-her-up birther and uses that term unironically.

Specifically, they need to get assault rifles of their own and go on a murder rampage to kill every single GOP representative and voter. It's the only way. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

There have been some "but video games" cartoons recently and well...aren't games like Call of Duty part of gun culture? I mean, I doubt Republicans really know what they are saying when they condemn games like that (they're certainly deluded about the age range that plays them) but they're definitely huge entertainment franchises dedicated to making guns look awesome as all hell. Action movies don't come close to the gun-love built into games like that anymore.

Other countries have access to those same violent games and movies, and yet they don't have the same problems with mass shootings that the United States does because they don't have the same access to actual guns. The problem isn't thinking guns are cool, the problem is being able to buy a gun at anytime.

If liberals actually tried to ban violent video games, McCoy et al would pivot so fast to "b..buh free speech" and "liberal fascism" and "save Call of Duty, they hate are troops". There'd be a billion cartoons of Moochelle assbumping a military video game out of sweet little junior's hands while she's gripping a controller and killing whitey on Grand Theft Auto XLVIII, where's my Pulitzer. They are absolutely full of poo poo on this and everything else, just look at the pivot on the NSA. Or on Putin. VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Feb 21, 2018 |

Criticizing Trump = Stupid Bad and Wrong is especially funny coming on the heels of polls of political scholars putting Trump in the bottom two Presidents in American history. When you're living under the administration that has the chance to displace Buchanan as worst ever, you have the right to loving attack.

They've been saying for decades now that unless we keep the sodomites from enacting [insert LGBT rights law/ordinance here], pretty soon, pastors will be put in JAIL just for THINKING that homosexuality is a sin! The government will shut down churches any day now! Vote Republican! It's just weird seeing that stupid poo poo being portrayed using evil Klurfs and not shouted into a microphone by a 70-year-old on a pulpit. It's just another sign that as cool and secular and rational the alt-right likes to pretend it is, usually they just vomit back up old Evangelical talking points after hastily wiping away the overtly-Jesusy bits.

I mean its sad that NRA has to go after video games, because video games don't make you an effective killing machine regardless of any personal training or physical ability - unlike say a automatic firing mechanism and several hundred round clips can turn anyone into a spree killer with the push of a button.
