@bradybuzz 1) That’s a lie. You know it. Stop being disingenuous cunts.
2) You want all law abiding Americans disarmed. Let’s get it over with. Send your biggest and baddest. We’ll leave the light on for you.
@GoaPennsylvania@Jersey_2A@PAAttorneyGen@DaveSunday_ I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’ve seen little evidence that he’s pro-2A. Maybe he is, but he’s first and foremost a political animal with an eye on higher office and he won’t do anything that might jeopardize that in purple Pennsylvania.
@GabbyGiffords, I heard the shooter was a member of @GIFFORDS_org who thought an incident like this so close to an election would motivate people to vote for anti-gun candidates. You are, after all, nothing but coffin surfing grifters.
@PunksWorldd Do you blame the car when a drunk driver kills with one?
There are tens of thousands of gun control laws on the books. They don’t work. Never have. More Americans own guns today than any time in history…and the murder rate is at its lowest level since at least 1900.
@karlmarxisright@LouisvilleGun@RT_com 🤣🤣🤣 Hope to see you in the stack.
We won’t of course. You’ll be hiding under your bed. But no worries. Someone will drag you out kicking, screaming and crying for your mamma when we’re ready for you.
THE INVOICE OF FEAR
This Hasan execution debate has exposed something ugly in us. We keep talking about what the islamist enemy might think.
"What if they make him a martyr! What if they use the footage! What if they get angry! What if they hate us more!"
Take this from a GWOT veteran sick of hearing this shit: They already hate us.
That is the part nobody wants to say out loud because it makes the whole ritual look ridiculous. You don't negotiate a wolf out of hunger by lowering your fucking voice.
If fear of terrorist reaction changes how you carry out a lawful sentence, then they are no longer merely your enemy. They are governing you. They own you.
That is real power, isn't it? Not theirs on paper. Theirs over YOU, average American.
And this is the same weakness we carried into the Global War on Terror on your behalf. We went across the world to fight men who understood violence perfectly while we spent twenty years trying to prove to those same men that we were "nice".
Restrictive rules, endless hesitation, leaders promoted for avoiding headlines. Troops asked to close with an enemy while an entire civilization stood behind them whispering, “Be careful how this looks.”
Then we wondered why the war dragged on, and on and on. Where has this weak approach gotten us?
The military gets its people, its authority, its limits, and eventually its courage from the country that sends it. From YOU!
So here is the invoice, America:
>You wanted the sheepdog, but you were embarrassed by his teeth.
>You wanted victory, but recoiled from what victory looks like.
>You wanted the enemy defeated, but remained terrified of offending him.
>You wanted warriors strong enough to kill for you and gentle enough to never disturb your conscience.
That bill eventually came due. It was paid in deployments, amputations, and flag draped coffins. In men and women coming home older than the years they'd lived.
And now, after all of that, I still hear Americans worrying about whether a terrorist might feel inspired by watching another terrorist receive a lawful sentence.
You either think western civilization is superior to theirs or you don't.
A nation that lets its enemies decide which consequences are too frightening to show has already surrendered a piece of sovereignty to them. A big piece.
Power is the rent civilization pays to remain unmolested in a violent world. And fear is what you pay when you refuse the bill.
America, GWOT veterans are pleading with you: wake the hell up. Stop acting like men who already want you dead can be appeased by your fear. You’re not preserving peace. You’re just advertising weakness.
@TheBrancaShow Don't conflate boomers with old hippies. Many of us have seen and done things that would make most people, especially old hippies, shit their pants and cry for their mammas. We've picked a hill to die on and would have no problem taking a few old hippies with us.
