Why are you and other gun grabbers so obsessed with sex?

Do you have sex with inanimate objects?

WRONG! It is them "flexing" their rights. They are not saying "We will use violence if...." They are saying "Hey, look, my right to do THIS is constitutionally protected."

If you can count that as an act of violence, then taxation is a far more literal threat of violence on peaceful people. They literally tell peaceful people they will be put in a cage if they don't hand over money, if the resist being put in they cage, they will be beaten/killed.

Every time you tell me I have to pay for your kid's schools or have my property taken from me by force, that is an actual threat of violence.

Walking around with a slung rifle is not a threat of violence. They do not hurt peaceful people, nor do they say the would under any circumstance.

Even the NRA said it's a bad idea (before they backed off).
Yeah, I think it isn't prudent either... doesn't make it violence or a threat of violence.

cultural totem, rather than a tool for hunting/defense/etc.
This is a lie, a heavy majority are speaking in the context of defense weapons. Drop the hyperbole, you are just making things up now.

The scary and sad part is there are plenty of other gun nuts like that out there who have easy acces to firerams. We live in the most well armed advanced/democratic country on the world. The blood in on the NRA's hands......
Think how much blood AAA has on their hands! Last year more than 30,000 died in auto accidents.

The fact that these guys allegedly killed cops for no apparent reason means they were likely anarchists or just delusional and deranged...which normally falls in the camp of the Leftists.

99.999% of Republicans would condemn this idiocy and probably at least 99% of Dems as well.

They pretend up is down, right is left, and they're always wrong about everything because they're so disconnected from facts and reality.
No, all it shows is that you just don't know there actually is a term called "left fascism" and you have no grasp on the concept of the political paradigm.

Except they did have a clearly stated reason. They wanted to start a revolution against what they saw as a communist take over of the government in America. In fact, they left a whole screed of nonsensical right wing babblings so my suggestion is you actually learn what the hell your talking about other wise you'll just continue to make yourself look like a fool.
