Killing people is not the only use for a gun.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Very true. There is also showing up to a BLM protest and "defending" yourself. You know like your buddy Kyle "crocodile tears" Rittenhouse did

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

That Rittenhouse bastard - he should've been sent to prison for his entire life. What a murderous piece of filth.

Did you forget that hunting was a thing?

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not only do I try to forget, I actively work against hunting laws. To me hunting is as much a blood sport as killing children in a school. So no I didn't forget about it, I just think people (who are men) who engage in it are sick and nasty people.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah, so you're an idiot.

Carry on.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Better an idiot than a motherfucking turdball like yourself. You can shove your gun up your asshole and pull the trigger and we'd all throw a party. You're a worthless lump of horse dung.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't own any guns, but good job confirming the idiot part.

BTW, hunting is necessary for animal population control. When you wipe out predators, something has to take its place.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes I did totally confirm you are an idiot, that's true. And I'm glad you recognize that.

You're so dumb you can't even make a good argument for hunting. You're truly fucked in the head. Carry on.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago

I'd believe that if people actually only used them for hunting, but they don't, and there's nothing more awful than people with guns.
