Self-Help on the Border

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

Were you lying around this morning, wallowing in your own filth and despair, wishing that a movie would come along and yell at you about how the American government has failed to secure the borders and one man will have to save us all and Take Matters Into His Own Hands? Would you like everyone in the movie to complain about how the government makes them pay taxes but won’t enforce the law? How about a cast of flinty-eyed white guys who have seen too many Clint Eastwood films squinting and menacingly mumbling? Good news! Your dream movie is here.

Who this movie was made for:

I think there are also those who ache to use their gun rights
on some real targets. It cannot be any fun just shooting up
bottles and paper targets.

People who no doubt see themselves as some Charles Bronson-like figure when in reality they are more:

Is that real? Did the gun really discharge or was that edited in?

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

It'll be edited. That guy is quite the prolific tumblr'er and quite amusing.

Actually, that is 90% of the reason I have firearms. The likelihood of my being attacked here in my small, cheap ass one bedroom apartment is virtually nill. I suppose my inner 6yr old just like thing that make noise.

I prefer cans and plastic bottles to glass. It's easier to clean up.

But I'm afraid you are probably not representative
of the people who can get juiced over a movie like
this and the idea of shooting up little brown foreigners.

[mckavian.livejournal.com]

Well...I suppose you do have a point.

Would it count if I said that you can take my weapons from my cold dead fingers? I am sure I could some of with some sort of Spanish epithet.

There are a lot of things to love in this world.
I doubt that guns should be on top of that list.

[mckavian.livejournal.com]

There are all too many things that on the top of that list that have no business being on there at all.

Guns.
Money.
Fame.
Power.
Jealousy.
Hatred.

Just to name a few.

Puppies.
Cuddles.
Cat macros (not actual cats mind, just pictures of them, I'm quite happy for cats to be something other people do, as long as they don't let them go outside).
Quiche.
Respect.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

These are the things that are worth loving.

Shooting is tremendously fun. I feel sorry for all the weenies who pee themselves when they see a gun. They are missing out.

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

I don't piss myself when I see a gun, I do feel threatened when I saw a person with a gun though.

Oh, I think just about everyone enjoys playing bang-bang when
they are children, but when you get older you realize that you only
have so much time, and people prefer to spend their time on music,
literature, art, etc.

It's true but in America, handguns are often the sign of an inept gun owner. Even cops prove to be absolutely lousy marksmen.

I'd love to have guns to shoot targets, but I love not being worried about gun crime even more. Damn lowest common denominators.
