Rest of the board: panics with no logical recourse, starts talking about dongs and pissing themselves

And people wonder why this poli board is so broken
What I don't understand....with your clearly superior intellect, why do you waste your considerable talents on the low lifes' that populate this board?
I used to say/ask the same thing/s to DC.
HUGE difference being, I was 100% sincere with my sentiment - and it was not a sarcastic insult.

Randy thinks/feels/knows this poli board is "so broken" and yet my guess is he truly doesn't believe/know he's a BIG part of the reason why it's broken.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — When Walder St. Louis entered the Miami pawnshop in October 2021, his shopping list contained just a few items: Two AK-47s and an AR-15.

Germine Joly, then head of the Haitian gang 400 Mawozo, had placed the order from a Port-au-Prince prison. St. Louis would soon send two barrels of firearms back to the Haitian capital.

Heavily armed gangs control 80 percent of Port-au-Prince, the United Nations has estimated, where they rape, kidnap and kill with impunity. Haiti doesn’t manufacture firearms, and the U.N. prohibits importing them, but that’s no problem for the criminals. When they go shopping, the United States is their gun store. The semiautomatic rifles that have wrought human carnage from an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., to a Walmart in El Paso are also being used to menace the Haitian government and terrorize the population...

6 killed in knife attack in sydney

…The incident has shocked Australia, a nation where mass killings are extremely uncommon. There were 79 homicides in 2022 in New South Wales, a state of more than 8 million people. The most common homicide weapon was a knife, partly due to Australia’s tight gun restrictions.

The incident was the state’s worst mass killing in more than a decade, local media reported…

Did I share my bumble babe story?

So she’s a counselor at a school.

They do active shooter drills now. (I remember tornado drills growing up but…fuck)

Her job is to play the “shooter” role, and walk around the school making sure protocols are in place and everything’s secure.

She said a couple of the classroom doors didn’t properly lock like they’re supposed to, so she’s able to just walk right in.

Everybody’s just looking at each other like…welp, we’re all dead.

“Holy shit babe. That’s fucked up. So how’s yer sushi?”

So what you’re saying is, the gun laws didn’t work and should be repealed.

If you turn it upside down, Australia is fucked.

Was not too funny when people such as Jake Shields posted on X/Twitter that the stabber in Australia was a Jew named Ben Cohen. Just as it wasn't funny when people posted it was a Muslim terrorist (but didn't supply an actual Muslim citizen's name).
That my friends and enemies, is one of the many reasons why X/Twitter and Elon Musk suck. Zero repercussions for something that is A LIE and can (and does) spark hatred towards a specific race/religion/nationality/etc. of people.

At least they weren’t immigrant basketball players being bussed to take our jobs with a police escort to stay in 5 star hotels and receiving their $10,000 checks

Just another example of it not really being about "Freedom of Speech" as it is about "Freedom to say whatever the fuck I want without consequence". So many of these Trump Humpers claims of Constitutional threats are really just toddler hissy fits to be allowed to do whatever they want without facing any negative backlash when what they want is deplorable.

Amazing how you find these sorts of things to be in any way helpful to your side of the gun control argument.

"People are crazy and violent" is NOT a very good argument for loose gun laws!
