America didn’t just let Kirk die by the gun. America let him write his own punchline. His final argument wasn’t a mic drop, it was a ricochet. He spent years saying gun deaths were worth it for freedom, then he became Exhibit A. That isn’t martyrdom. That’s a nation so hooked on its own mythology it can’t tell the difference between liberty and crossfire. Blessed be the kids we keep sacrificing while pretending it’s just the cost of doing business.

It's not ALL citizens willing to live with gun violence, sir. It's our government comprised of dirtbag, paid shills. It's an imperial policy for global wars and resource theft. It's the capitalist impulse to monitize everything! Education, MSM news, sports, Hollywood, etc. SELL propaganda 24/7. The Wall Street bull and gun rights are sacred to these predators.

What is it about the world today that makes the truth unpalatable. The mere hint of reality brings the critters out of the cracks.....in view of you own recent experience, good on you to say it for what it is

I don't think his death was a gun reform issue...given the PRECISE nature of his dispatch, I highly doubt this was a rando, more likely a state actor stirring up foment *coughciaormossadcouh*

perhaps men who need a gun to be real men might be fearful that there manhood is not real without the gun.

On the other hand, my understanding, and I could be wrong writing from American, was to encourage a voluntary buyback of the guns they owned and most real men saw an advantage to giving up their weapons. But the way it was presented in the American press that the men who were dependent on dick-extensions were not forced into compliance.

then why do you need a gun for proof.

women can shoot too, you know, they just don't need a gun to proof it.

around five years before you were born two of my uncles got into an argument and I was there, They began demeaning each other, one of them told the other, "I will show you i'm more of a man than you."

That taught me , a wee lad entering my teens that guns don't prove anyone is a man. From that moment on I became unafraid even of the gun pointed at me.and there have been that any man who could only prove his manhood was about as manly as a worm under the ground.

I don't like too insult to a great extent, so I will drop this, and here's what I will conclude with. Three times now you've mentioned being a man and having a gun as if they are say. Sir you will never be more than a coward until you no longer equate the two. You will never be a man until you can cast off your gun and still be a man. And sir, just to clear up the record, I don't give as shit if you think I'm male or female, but three times men who want to prove their manhood to be pointing their guns at me I have walked up to them and just snatched it from their hands and then all of their manly is in their flight and toss the gun after them, but they have become too afraid to even look back and see if there. No man needs a gun and any man who thinks otherwise remains a coward.

So if I've angered you, come at me with you. I'm seventy-eight and a bit slow in the shuffle now, but I can guarantee you I still would not be intimated.

I am not challenging you to a duel, I'm writing you off as a coward who thinks his manliness comes from a pointed gun, sir, it makes you a coward and your need to brag about your gun and your manliness ass if they are one and the same just tells everyone who hears you to mock you and just laugh at the cowardliness of your boast.

So all you are accomplishing is pointing out to everyone, not just me, that without the gun you will run away as fast as you can.

You're a hateful antagonistic brat who is willing to do any self-reflection since it would threaten your precarious ego built upon a personality of hurting other people.

So, nah, I prefer you not knowing my real identity.
