Like Trump supporters. I’m done with people rationalizing and making excuses for them. They’re just shitty and I don’t care why any more. When people show you who they are, pay attention…
It’s weird to sit back and look at this picture and imagine you were part of a world War or one of the other global conflicts. These weapons are tools of destruction and I’m sure many people, soldiers and otherwise didn’t want to kill other people if they could avoid it. Bearing these arms meant you had to commit to doing something dreadful, that’ll affect you for the rest of your life.
Then these people hold these weapons with smiles on their faces like they’d be excited about ending lives. Oblivious to the notion that many people sacrificed and killed so they can pose and smile in a peaceful house, free from the possibility of harm.
I live in a country with very strict gun laws, but I know some gun owners and Ive been shooting before and I hate to say it… fuck its fun.
When I was younger I was also a dipshit street racing fuckwit, I had a very highly modified car that I did outrageously stupid dangerous crap at very high speeds and despite being at risk of serious injury, death or imprisonment… fuck it was fun.
But these people taking photos with their guns are like people who took photos standing with their brand new sports cars thinking that they are Dominic Toretto who would talk shit about my car but would never put up paper and race. Having the equipment and doing the dangerous thing are as disparate as knowing the alphabet and writing a critically acclaimed novel.
So they take the photos and they smile because their toys make them happy and give them delusions of who they could be without ever demanding they put themselves at risk.

Still, lots of other things can be fun as well. Going through proofs of math theorems for example. Yet, you don’t typically see lots of people doing it.
The average IQ is supposed to be around 100. Around half the people out there have less than 100 IQ. Lead exposure lowers that even further (see Radon gas, light aircraft at small airports and race fuel at small tracks, and still old houses with pipes and paint).
Math is not fun for those people, loud sounds and bright lights are.
I grew up surrounded by guns and they’re fun as hell. I’ve considered buying my own many times but ultimately I don’t want the responsibility with gun ownership.
The most well equipped people I knew would never talk about them with anyone except those they knew well or while shooting the shit with the range master when we’d go shooting. Posting a picture or even just taking a group picture with firearms would be a massive no. At absolute most we’d take a group picture at the range, but no guns or the range itself would be in site.
I think the worst part is these people in the photos aren’t the most insane ones. Sure, the picture is crazy, but they know that it appeals to a certain demographic. They aren’t doing it out of a desire for the picture themselves probably, but to make others like them somehow.
Wealthy (and especially those who get into politics) in the US are the most insecure demographic in the world as deep down they know their cushioned bubble is a direct result of so much misery for others and they live with constant fear of reckoning.

Merry Christmas! 🎄 ps. Santa, bring ammo.🎁
[*A photo of 7 people holding guns is shown. The background shows a Christmas tree. Three people are sitting on a couch in front of the Christmas tree, and four people are standing behind the couch in front of the Christmas tree.
No, no ever did. To them it’s just a toy. When I have to carry a gun(when I am outfitting) I will find myself in town every so often and people will sometimes ask to see it. Every time it is a no. Guns are a tool when I don’t have a job for it, it stays in the holster.
some people are really strict about them, which is a good thing, me personally im a little more lax about those kinds of things because im a nerd.
You wouldn’t catch me ANYWHERE telling ANYBODY i have a gun, unless it would be the obvious outcome. Half the point of personal carry is nobody knowing that you are carrying.
I don’t disagree with you on the being quiet about having one you, but it is pretty hard to hide a 6.5" Ruger Blackhawk. I just feel lucky that I have a holster that I can carry it comfortably in. I have something small if I want to have one on me, but coming off of bear country I carry the big one.
There’s something really unnerving about that picture. Like I get the sense that these people would do horrible things with those guns while thinking they are doing good the whole time. At least at first, but once they start to question it, it will be too late to fix it.
Absolutely they would. But mind you they only feel this power rush when the other side is unarmed. Put three of four black dudes with guns and these cowards will shit their pants.
Truly a photograph documenting the worst case of child molesting by a member of Congress. I don't care if his wife and he are worthless enough to be gun nuts, but forcing such idiology on his kids is a form of violent rape. If ever I needed to produce just one piece of evidence that most human beings are evil monsters - this would be it.
