57. These "cold dead hands"

Mon Apr 29, 2013, 12:00 PM

Apr 2013

NRA-apologists don't give a rat's ass about the pain and misery caused by guns in this country. They want unfettered access to guns, and absolutely no accountability for the fucking things.

Over in the Gungeon they're laughing it up about how they are "winning the war on sanity" and really, really showing the "grabbers" how stupid they are. "If only they would listen to us," they say, "we could show them how to get really, really weak gun legislation passed."

All the "grabbers" need to do, they say, is to kiss the NRA's ass, vote for Blue Dog DLC fucking DINOs, and don't worry about a few "friendly fire" causalities.

And they have the audacity to complain that the non-NRA majority of Americans are "extremists." Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers, Wayne LaPierre, and the rest of the GOP hate machine are so very proud of their NRA disciples and puppets that they just may let them have an extra portion of gruel for dinner tonight.
