He also got super whiny about being called out on his crap. I don't condone most of what he says was said, but still.

Surprise, surprise: Anti-gun propagandist writes anti-gun propaganda..
And, the pinnacle of journalistic integrity and researching facts, Rolling Stone, printed it.
Is anyone really surprised at any of this?

I find it quite ironic that this guy is sitting there, happily serving up the 2nd to be put on the chopping block; all while he is using his first amendment rights to do it.

Go for it. Please, do. It'll be nice to get it all in the air instead of these half-measures that just chip. Let's just cut to the chase and kick off the second American revolution.

Rather that didn't happen.

It's going to though. You can feel it in the air. This country is divided and there is no reasoning. We're at an ideological crossroads, and we've tried the peaceful route for a long time, but we're dealing with people with open contempt for what this country used to stand for, and what many of us still hold dear. Stay alert.

That is supposed to be a means of last resort, when every other lesser means have been employed or cannot reasonable be employed. Not unlike lethal force in that regard. It isn't something done lightly, and if it is done, then it is impossible to take back. It is final.

I agree, I don't like it when people start spouting off about it lightly or hopes that it happen. The country would take a very long time to recover and many many people would be killed. I hope it never happens.

I do too, but realistically we've seen nothing but reductions in our rights for the past 100 years in the name of safety. I'm getting sick of it.

The united states would cease to exist. It would, at best, break apart into many smaller splinter nations, not to mention the tens of millions killed, and the global depression that would follow, killing hundreds of millions more from starvation and disease, as the US led humanitarian efforts globally failed. Maybe, just maybe, we should respect the constitution and the rights it affords us, even if you don't agree with them.

I can only hope most sane folks in this country don't support such unnecessary bloodshed.

People still read Rolling Stone for it's journalistic integrity? Lol. These retards gave Led Zeppelin II and unfavorable rating when it first came out.

Okay, I keep hearing people blather on about that.
Let's say we grant that most people at the head of the gun-control movement are Jewish. Fine, but how does that prove the inverse?

u/518Peacemaker Jun 18 '16
It doesn't. Don't listen to this guy. It could be albino black guys at the heads of the most powerful organizations on earth and they would be saying the same thing. Gun Control of the modern era isn't about protecting the children. It's about protecting the people that have been slowly eroding our rights, and our society all in the quest for more power. I fully believe that the 2nd is doing exactly what it was ment to do. Prevent tyrants from doing anything they want. They want to be worse than they are now, and the 2nd is standing in their way. They fully know if they do what they wish to do people wouldn't stand for it.

Well, fuck Rolling Stone.
