Once again, the posting of this picture was met with a lot of high-fiving and back-slapping and self-congratulatory, "ain't-we-just-the-smartest-mofos-in-the-room," self-fellating.
And then I posted my response and ruined their little gun-loving party. My response: "Yeah, well I once saw a movie where everyone in it was packing heat. It was called "Reservoir Dogs." And every last person in the movie died. Of gunshot wounds."
That's REALLY all you've got to prove your point anymore? MOVIES? REALLY? I mean, they DO realize that movies..........AREN'T REAL, right? I could write and produce a movie where there wasn't a single gun anywhere in the universe and peace and freedom ruled the day. Would THAT be proof that guns are the problem?

OP
Some people are so convinced that they ARE the "Jews" & those they disagree with are the Nazis.

They don't have time to wonder about themselves. Too busy with Fox, Glenn, Rush and the other goons.

I wonder why they don't kind of at least wonder about themselves.

They don't call 'em Dittoheads for nothing. Not an original thought amongst a pile of them.

Dumbasses!

We beat the Germans because we had more joysticks than them. Bigger, better - whatevers. It always goes back to consuming more gunmetal...

Short out their idiot brains.

Those bastions of tyranny and low gun violence.

The Holocaust actually happened. Resevoir Dogs is fiction.

(20,684 posts)12. I agree the Nazi's were not responsible firearm owners
where as any good mobster knows to Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. Good solid responsible gun ownership in organized crime

And making asses of themselves when they try to pretend they do.
