    This is a weak argument. He owns a gun and a ghille suit, must be a psychopath?

      If you don’t know the context, this is a social media post from the guy in Utah who made assassination threats against Biden. Owning a gun and a ghillie suit doesn’t make you a psychopath. But threatening to murder people sure does.

      You know you’ve lost the plot when you look at a meme and see it as a fucking argument.

      Pretty sure you can’t get a “Joe Biden Hunting” permit in Utah. But I’m not a Mormon, so I’m not sure.

        The dickweed couldn’t even bother to find out that the context of the pic is the dude continuously threatening govt officials. This 74yo asswipe wasn’t hunting shit.

          Honestly, government officials should be afraid of their constituents so they stop screwing us over. Actions have consequences in the real world.

            So you think Trump and his cronies should be afraid for how they gave billions in COVID “relief” funds to corporations and pennies to average Americans?

            You don’t need a bunch of people that probably should have restricted access to power tools let alone firearms to do that.

              Part of it is that we’ve lost the tradition of teaching kids how to handle firearms. We need to bring back shooting classes in school and parents need to teach their children safe practices around guns and other dangerous devices.

                I’m all for teaching gun safety but just like school shooter drills it just teaches the kids how to do it better if they really want to

                Nah, I’m old enough to remember when schools still did that and most of the people that went through it that I know shouldn’t be trusted with anything that has more range than a butter knife. Some people just shouldn’t have guns.

    Leftists sure seem to be okay with law enforcement killings when the victims are conservatives.

      I remember when Breonna Taylor made posts about how she wanted to assassinate Trump and then allegedly assaulted the FBI when they arrived in uniform during the day and properly announced themselves. Oh wait…

      Fuck off.

      Sure, completely ignore all context to make yourselves seem like victims. Fuck off back to the rest of the domestic terrorists.

      He should have followed their commands when they stormed into his home. His thuggish behavior got him what he asked for.

      I don’t think it’s a perfect solution but you have to manage the population or they destroy vegetation, wreck ecosystems, and get hit by cars.
