I swear to God, the misconceptions non gun owners and gun haters have about guns is mind boggling.
A well made well designed firearm is as close to the perfect machine as human beings are capable of creating. A gun has to be that close to perfection because otherwise you'll die when it fails on you at the worst possible time.
Guns are like anything else, just tools. Guns have taken lives and saved lives. Some people have no idea how to use tools. For instance, I wouldn't trust Bernie to use a hammer correctly. At best he'd smash is own finger (which would be hilarious) and at worst put a hole in a wall because based on his knowledge probably wouldn't know how to swing one correctly and is likely unable to even learn how to use one.
People like Bernie probably cower in fear every time they see or think about a gun like it might suddenly rise up and bite him like a snake.
Fearful fucks. Grow some balls why don't ya! I dare anyone to go to a gun range, get your hands on a a gun, any gun, and fire a few rounds downrange. I bet a nickel to a doughnut when you fire that last round from the magazine you'll have a big shit eating grin on your face. It happens to everyone. Especially noobs who haven't the faintest idea of what it's like to fire a gun. It's cathartic.
Just because evil fucks pick up these tools and use them to perform acts of pure evil is no reason to deny the vast majority of legal, responsible people from the opportunity to possess, learn to use and have a tool that could well save their very lives one day.
There is more to this story than we are being allowed to know. They keep saying they have no idea about the guy's motives. I bet if they read the note he left behind it might give an idea, here is a picture of it-

It's right there, what the f*ck does that note say? You see the shooter's feet there. I'll spare you all the pic of his dead body, he shot himself through the mouth up out through the top of his head. But he left a note.
Don't let the authorities off the hook about this. Demand that we all be informed what that note is about.
