Rational conversation is impossible in threads like this so don’t even bother. It’s a nonstop circlejerk of over generalizations and name calling.
I think my favorite comment in this one so far is “When you have a gun, especially a “manly” gun like an AR-15, you start having intrusive thoughts and desire to use it.”
Really? They really think that owning a gun magically gives the owner intrusive throughts and desires to use it against people? Forget who they are or how good their character might be, apparently anyone who owns a firearm will struggle with newfound urges to murder people. That’s news to me, I guess that commentor knows myself better than I do.
And before someone takes this non anti-gun comment and frames it as support the dude’s actions in the original article, I’ll clearly state that I don’t agree with what he did and he should probably face criminal charges. Pulling a gun on someone’s only acceptable if they’re moments away from murdering or seriously harming someone.
