This is why we can't have a rational gun debate in this country.

It's a couple of years old, but very relevant to what we're seeing and hearing today. H/T to Joy Reid for tweeting about it today.

And apologies in advance for any gastrointestinal issues this may cause.

1. What an asshole

2. That looks disgusting

in more than one way

3. In a just world

He would have ended up with trichinosis from undercooked pork.

No way was that "cooked". It might have sizzled a little but it was far from cooked.

What a jackass but it really says even more about the humpers that think this stunt is a reason to vote for him.

4. There is a very very serious problem with America's Culture. Other Countries look at this Aghast.

5. I was definitely aghast.

I just hope the rest of the world realizes that there are still many sane people left over here.

6. I remember this asshole's commercial, and the worst part was peoples' REACTION to it...

They didn't react by saying "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG with you? You were supposed to GROW OUT of this 'guns are toys' mental attitude when you were seven years old, watching re-runs of WWII movies on the after school movie."

No, they reacted by saying "Pfft! What an idiot. That's not a 'machine gun,' it's a semi-automatic assault rifle. This guy doesn't even know the difference between a MACHINE GUN and a semi-automatic rifle. But *I* do, because I'm so MACHO and heroic!"


This is unbelievable. That thing is a KILLING MACHINE, designed for only one purpose. For SOLDIERS to use, to (God forbid) KILL PEOPLE during WARS! Not to play fucking childish games with. Grow the fuck up, 'conservatives.'

This commercial was THINLY disguised as a joke. But we all know what the real message was. "I, Ted Cruz, will defend your 'right,' to be either a paranoid psychopath, or a childish loser, by defending your 'right' to own guns like THIS one."

And the worst part is, that I scoffed at Joe Manchin's stupid commercial, featuring him firing his hunting rifle at a bill. Now I realize that the country is SO FAR GONE at this point, that the only way to COUNTER arguments like Cruz's (firing a 'machine gun') is to show other politicians firing BOLT ACTION RIFLES, because it proves they can be macho, while only owning rifles that were designed to kill ANIMALS. How sad is that?
