Fucking hell. Why did the guy have a gun to begin with? To literally shoot down arguments he couldn't win because he was the one causing the accident here? Cause I get the feeling he did not have it to "defend his life and property" when he also fucking wounded the wife.
My condolences to the victims of yet another pointless death.
I'm all for gun control, but to demonize the NRA to this extent is just ridiculous. They aren't cartoonish, mustache-twirling villains that rejoice when people suffer.
I am not American, so I don't have direct contact with NRA members, but everything that I've experienced of them so far through the net and people I've talked with in America have painted the picture that the NRA is a bunch of villainous idiots who rather protect the right to unnecessarily have a shitton of guns than protect lives. They couldn't give a less shit who gets hurt in the process as long as they get to masturbate over their pistols and assault rifles.
Wasn't it the President of the NRA who said something about "You can take my gun out of my cold, dead hands" a while ago when there was another proposal of a gun control bill (not a outright ban), meaning that he would rather kill other people than just surrender if he was on the wrong side of the law? That sounds pretty fucking lunatic, not cartoonish, mustache-twirling villanous.
You also have to be a fucking lunatic to revere a
amendment so much that the NRA does. A amendment from a time when America was under the threat of British invasion and the possibility of having to draft a militia from the American population was a possible necessity. Who the fuck is America under the threat of invasion now? Russia? You see this shit of Constitution wanking only in America and mostly if not exclusively on the Republican side, together with groups like the NRA. That is lunacy when the standard of the world is "Oh yeah, we have a constitution, can't remember what it was but its sorta important I guess."
Sad news, I am always saddened when someone's life ends prematurely at the hands of idiots. We lose so many good people.
I cannot imagine how I would even be able to live in the US, where every moron has a gun and can shoot you at any second, in school, in the supermarket, in traffic... That is just insane, almost a form of terrorism.
You should change the law and require people carrying guns to wear a "I am a lunatic" sign at all times, so normal people can stay away from them.
In Sweden (and most other parts of the world) we have sorta something like that, its when you wear
anything else but a police uniform and carrying a gun in public you have informed the public around you that you are fucking batshit insane and people need to run, fast.
