You know what? feck it, let’s go there.
American gun owners, let’s have a chat. I don’t give a flying feck what our country’s laws are, or what your states laws are, or how “responsible” you are. Let me ask you a question. If you were told you had a choice between dying or giving up your gun, would you do it? How about if it was not you but your child? What if it was not your child, but a nephew? What if it was not family but a friend? How about a strangers child? How about a stranger? How about me? My nephew? At what point on that scale would you stop giving a feck?
Guns exist for the sole purpose of killing. They are the leading cause of death in children in the US. My 8 year old nephew had a mother fecking active shooter drill today in his school. Totally normal, right gun owners? An acceptable price for him to pay so you can own a gun, right?
We are burying my adopted sisters brother this weekend. We are watching her husband die of cancer. Now, because of feckers like you her son is traumatized not just about his uncle dying, or his dad slowly dying in front of his eyes, but by the terror he might be killed in school.
This country is rotten. It is racist, it is bigoted, and it is obsessed with cruelty and death. It’s not a party thing, I know people in both sides with guns. All of them, and you, are complicit. Every. Single. One. I’d reference the recent shooting in Tennessee, or Parkland, or Sandy Hook, but you would not care. I’d show pictures of the decimated bodies of those children, but you would not care. I’d show you video of their grieving families, and you would not be moved.
I am done with all of you. You selfish devotion to your tools of death is a clear indication of your total absence of humanity. I truly hope you never experience the pain and loss of losing someone you live to gun violence, but just know that your choice has made it more likely someone else will.
It's a horrible no win situation for them. Thankfully the training officer was a military vet and it didn't end too horribly, but still the potential is there. I think at a minimum they need to start arming them with flashbangs in each vehicle, despite the fact it's an absolutely terrible idea. Mainly need to get the guns and ammo off the street. Probably the ammo as a priority.
