We (including me) have NO FUCKING say over any of this debate, we waste our time here verbally masturbating as if WE can decide a single bit of legislation, while the NRA hacks come here and try to change our minds. Nothing makes me laugh more than watching you folks twist yourselves inside out trying to 'win' debates, nothing. It's classic how foolish you all look.

It is also hilarious for all of you to put we and me into the discussion, because frankly, I don't give a shit about anyone who thinks guns are more important than children, which is why my ignore list is 50% gun nuts.

Go engage someone stupid, stop wasting my time, and quite frankly, the rest of our time.

Your attempts at conversation bore me to sleep.

Goodbye.

PS it's still horseshit, you can't make it taste better with supposed intellectual sugar coating.
