Because 'Indifference to Dead Kids Day' didn't have quite the same ring to it.

1. Sweet Jeezus

Not pulling any punches with this one. K & R

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. This Gun Appreciation Day nonsense is one of the most insensitive things

the wingnuts have ever done.

On Martin Luther King Holiday weekend.

4. Sad K&R

5. I swear, these gun nuts think their guns are people, too.

Helpless little robo-people who need their inherent rights defended.

Some kind of mental confusion there. Too much time spent in the basement.

6. In VA at one of the shows

they actually had the nerve to display their guns in public. Wavy 10 was there when the police were called and they actually tried their NRA talking points on the officer.

7. There was a nut here who marched in front of the federal courthouse with an AK47 yesterday

They have seriously lost their minds.

[Coolest Ranger]

8. wow

you know if a black person did that, we'd be cuffed and arrested for carrying a gun in public. This is insane.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. You bet

Completely insane.

10. Fastest way to enact gun control laws:

Arm blacks and latinos.

[Coolest Ranger]

12. I hate to say this I really do

but I think that may be the one thing that will scare our politicians.

[MichiganVote]

13. Not sure what you mean by this as many shootings happen in low income minority areas already,

Lot of teens and young 20's are dead in areas that include Blacks and Latino's either because of gangs or other forms of retribution.

[Coolest Ranger]

14. Well I find it funny that when the Black panthers armed themselves in public

Politicians were quick to pass the gun laws. The NRA was even on board with it, maybe a new generation of Black Panthers should arm themselves. How much you want to bet that will get congress to pass gun laws. Just saying.

[jeff47]

15. I mean if the gun nuts who have been screaming about their rights were of a darker hue,

we'd have tons of gun control laws very quickly.

Lots of "open carry" laws go back to the Black Panthers daring to walk around with rifles.

[Coolest Ranger]

16. That's right. They sure would

[Skittles]

11. you are absolutely correct

these NRA bastards are ruled by fear, ignorance and YES racism

[mountain grammy]

18. By and large, far and away, these are angry white men...

I know several in my family who are ready to secede, rock and roll, bring it on, we got this. The nutbag state legislatures and elected sheriffs are whipping up the masses with crazy rhetoric and they are buying it. It's still a small percentage of people, and they gotta go to work, same as us.
