A gun festival on the anniversary of the JFK assassination???

A GUN festival??? On THAT date???

Are you freakin’ kidding me??? O. M. G. O! M!! G!!!

What fucking bonehead thought that was something good or relevant (or “timely”) to put on the schedule??? Was anybody among the event organizers aware of the date in question, and why it still stings, BIGTIME, in the hearts of many Americans? Did they even notice??? Or were they all 20-somethings who never bothered to pay attention in history class when that earthshaking event occurred?

Holy COW…

I’m embarrassed for them AND at them.
