Thanks for that.
Sho thang.


But I'm not sure I'd call them "sick freaks".
Of course you wouldn't. You think they're members of a "civil rights organization." Who just think it's tasteful to sign up for a group which supports no-background-check purchases of semiautos and bump stocks immediately after a mass murder.

More likely they are people that want to get involved in defending their Second Amendment rights at a time in which they are threatened.
Nowhere near as threatened as they were when Ronald Reagan was Governor of California.

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. — A Florida police department has suspended an officer for writing on Facebook that a student activist who survived a shooting massacre should be run over by a car.
Coconut Creek Police Chief Albert Arenal announced Tuesday that he has suspended Brian Valenti for five days without pay for posting a comment about Marjory Stoneman Douglas High senior David Hogg. The student had organized Friday a “die in” at the Publix supermarket chain over its support of a pro-NRA gubernatorial candidate.
Valenti posted he hoped “some old lady loses control of her car in that lot” under a photo of Hogg.
Valenti deleted the post. Union representative Rod Skirvin told the South Florida SunSentinel the 45-year-old veteran officer was sorry for his actions.
Seventeen people died in the Feb. 14 shooting.

My favourite analogy is tobacco.


40,000 people in Canada die of tobacco use each year.


4,000 of them never smoked, but are victims of second hand smoke.


229 people died in gun murders last year.


Yet I can still walk into a corner store to buy a pack of smokes.


The move to crush gun ownership in Canada is simply the state attempting to reserve all power to itself.

is the move to crush cigarette smoking also simply the state attempting to reserve all power to itself?

because I kind of thought it was the state trying to reduce the harm being done by tobacco.

sort of like gun control is the state trying to reduce the harm being done by guns.

Northern Ontario,
When you need a license and pass a test to buy cigarettes, then waldo might have something other than a childish comparison!

It's what happens when unable to have a critical thought....
