We Tolerate Lots of Dangerous Things in America

Smith & Wesson M&P15 AXE AR-15 rifle

Millions of people own me.

Some own lots of me and use me regularly.

I am very dangerous in the wrong hands.

I am used to kill 178,000 Americans per year.

I also kill 4,000 children per year.

13,000 people per year die because I am intentionally misused against them.

Many more die per year by using me to kill themselves.

I used to be banned, but people got around the ban and it eventually was lifted.

I am alcohol.

  1. Have you seen the movie Leaving Las Vegas? It was inspired by true events. Very depressing. The author ended up committing suicide after he sold the film rights to his book.

    1. “Have you seen the movie Leaving Las Vegas?”

      That was an *awesome* Nick Cage movie. That, and ‘Raising Arizona’ made me a fan for life.

      I saw it when I was deep into that lifestyle, and am so glad I never let it get that far. Odd thing is, I just went cold turkey, and while that sucked for about a month, constantly puking, once out of it, I never fell back into it. Over the years, I’ve a drink here and there, but I now hate the taste of it. It physically makes me nauseous to try and swallow it. I am so glad it holds no allure now.

      *shudder*… 🙁

  2. Well, Chris T will undoubtedly revile me for this obvious statement of fact, but . . . if people want something, they WILL get it, legally or no. I don’t use banned substances, but I know that, IF I did, I could access them readily and easily. Prohibition proved to anyone who was paying attention that “banning” something people want doesn’t work. It’s an objectively stupid strategy, but some people insist on following that rabbit down the rabbit hole.

    I do think we should criminalize the use of, for instance, automobiles or heavy equipment or possibly even firearms, while actively using certain drugs, proven to diminish capacity – but punish the behavior, not the inanimate object. I think the whole “Minority Report” culture we are developing is going to come back and bite us in the arse. You will not prevent nutjobs from shooting up schools by banning AR15 pattern rifles (personally, if I were ever deranged enough to want to engage in a mass shooting (hopefully I never will be), I would use a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun, with an open choke, and buckshot. Guarantee I could kill more people with that than with an AR15 pattern rifle. But Leftist/fascists and ‘do-gooders’ are too ideologically blinded to look at the obvious (and yes, Chris T, I’m including you AND MajorLiar in this).

    “Banning” something has never done anything other than enrich organized crime. Doesn’t stop people from getting it, using it, or accessing it, it just makes stupid people able to say “Well, at least I did something!!”. Yeah, you did something stupid. Congratulations.

    1. I am still waiting to hear about any victory in the war on drugs. One battle? One skirmish?

      But freedom scares a lot of people.

        1. Never said support them or excuse them. How many trillions of dollars have we spent on the war on drugs and how many battles have we won?

          Still supporting the war on drugs is even more retarded than still supporting the democratic party.

          1. jwm
            Different list same winner.
            3 crackhead
            2 methhead
            1 democrat

            3 car salesman
            2 lawyer
            1 politician

        2. Shire-man,

          And we are in violent agreement. IF you choose to indulge in illicit substances, you, and you alone, should bear the consequences. YES, prevent people from accessing SNAP and welfare benefits, if they insist on using illicit drugs. I’m all for blocking access to “public” benefits (i.e., funded by actual working Americans who pay taxes). But don’t pre-emptively ban people from constitutionally-protected activities without due process. No one has a “constitutional right” to sponge off the taxpayer.

      1. the venezuelans that couldn’t swim?
        the 64 eighteen wheelers of pre- meth barrels? it never stops but should they just let it in?

  3. Guess who this is:

    I murdered and injured in Colorado, Denver, Aberdeen, Nashville, Minnesota by being a mass-shooter

    I planned to murder and injure during a no-kings protest, by being a mass-shooter and/or used other means also.

    I carried out a mass-shooting attack against border patrol and police and an ICE facility.

    I violently attacked and injured people and destroyed private and public property in BLM protests.

    I fire bombed buildings.

    I violently attacked churches and injured and killed by mass-shooting and other means.

    Give up guessing? OK, I am the LGBTQ+ movement.

    1. Guess who this is:

      I got 5 year olds to trust me and then indoctrinated and raped them.

      I violently attacked or murdered or raped, collectively, ~300 people nation wide in the last 30 – 40 days – several thousand over the last three years.

      I killed a man because he took pictures of my grafitti.

      I formed a ‘murder cult’ and murdered people.

      I formed a group called TRANTIFA with a goal of murdering biological women to abduct their kids to force-convert them by drugs and surgery to an opposite gender.

      Study’s in Europe say I am, on average, more violent than than my society counterparts.

      Give up guessing? OK, I am the LGBTQ+ movement.

      1. Guess who this is:

        I have raped women in prison and women’s restrooms and schools.

        I gleefully encourage children as young as 6 years old to engage in violent risky sex practices with adults and tell them pedophiles are good people that should be called ‘Minor Attracted Persons’.

        Give up guessing? OK, I am the LGBTQ+ movement.

      2. Guess who this is:

        I use made up ‘pseudo science’ to inflict harm upon children.

        I told my two year boy child they were a girl and raised the child that way and made them act like a girl.

        As a demographic, I have the highest rate of carrying out violent mental health illness driven harm behavior upon others (even within my own ‘community’) or myself – higher than any other demographic.

        I have a secondary mental illness called ‘gender dysphoria’ that presents but its known to mask a deeper more severe mental illness that never gets treated.

        I adopted kids then turned them into sex slaves and rented them out to pedophiles.

        Give up guessing? OK, I am the LGBTQ+ movement.

        1. The threat from the LGBTQ+ movement is real and dangerous – its one big withering mass of mental illness and violence. Thousands of them are gleefully celebrating celebrating the violence and murder enacted by the trans murderer Robert “Robin” Westman. One of them even made a video about it – unhinged LGBTQ+ said he was happy about Annunciation Catholic School being shot up and said he’d be laughing as more churches and religious schools were the victims of mass shootings and even made a video about it:

    2. Guess who this is:

      I become violent when someone does not bow to my demands.

      I indoctrinate children from 1st grade on up in schools with falsehoods and p0rn0graphic material.

      There are thousands of those like me on line cheering with glee the crime and murder and violence I bring, and calling out for more especially violence and death to be visited upon children and biological women.

      I routinely try to turn kids into violent extremists.

      The democrat politicians and left wing media love and enable the violence and perversion I bring by enabling me by duping the public to make them think I am normal and never commit violence and intentionally under reporting or not reporting the violence and crime I bring.

      Give up guessing? OK, I am the LGBTQ+ movement.

  4. The people pushing gun control can’t live without their alcohol. When the WHO took the position that there is no safe amount of alcohol to consume NPR, CNN, MSNBC, etc… were running wall to wall coverage for a month looking for that unicorn doctor who would go on record saying it’s actually okay to drink.

    They never found that unicorn so they just dropped the story and pretended it never happened. They need their wine and cocktails. It’s the only way they can tolerate themselves and their peers.

  5. One of the most dangerous things in America: For the Children? This Shot/Chaser Shows Teachers’ Unions Don’t Care About Kids (or Teachers).

    “How many times have we heard teachers’ union leaders demand more of our tax money, ‘for the children’? Far too many to count.

    As we’ve told you, Rani Weingarten — head of the American Federation of Teachers — even had the audacity to wear a ‘protect our kids’ shirt as she promoted her new book and an educational philosophy about school choice that aligns with the actual Nazi party.

    Shot: “3,000 teachers beg for donations for basic classroom supplies”

    Chaser: “Nation’s 2 largest teachers unions funneled nearly $50M to left-wing groups”

    Here are the receipts, money spent on political activities, all lunatic left organizations

    Ain’t got money for tissues or crayons, but the unions dish out nearly $50M to left-wing groups.

    No, funding is not the problem. Your area could raise property taxes 100% & your schools would still be begging for supplies because the money goes into a black hole.

  6. Armed 18-Year-Old Mother Holding A Baby Shoots Intruders.

    (Colion) “On New Year’s Eve, 18-year-old Sarah McKinley sat in her Oklahoma home—newly widowed, holding her 3-month-old baby—when two armed men in bulletproof vests tried to kick in her door.

    No neighbors. No police minutes away. Just Sarah, her infant son, and the terrifying sound of her door being beaten down.

    With a shotgun in one hand, a baby in the other, and 911 on the phone, Sarah had to make a choice: the intruder or her son. When the door finally gave way, she pulled the trigger. One attacker fell dead. The other ran. And the police called it what it was: justified self-defense.

    This isn’t theory. It isn’t a ‘debate stage’ soundbite. It’s the Second Amendment in action—the only reason Sarah and her baby lived to tell the story.

    👉 In this video, I break down Sarah McKinley’s story and why it’s a reminder that the Second Amendment isn’t about hunting or sport. It’s about giving even the most vulnerable among us a fighting chance when evil decides tonight’s the night.

    Sarah McKinley didn’t choose to be a hero. She chose to survive. And because of that choice, her son still has a mother.”

  7. Monumental Media Malpractice: CBS Deceptively Edits Sec. Kristi Noem Interview.



    Secretary Kristi Noem
    @Sec_Noem
    This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety.

    Watch for the part of my interview that @CBS tried to cover up.

    Here is her statement that was presented on CBS:

    And the one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure he (Abrego Garcia) doesn’t walk free in the United States of America.

    Here’s what they cut; as you listen, think about whether this might be important information for their viewers to have to form an accurate opinion on this case:

    This individual was a known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing, how he was treating small children. So he needs to never be in the United States of America, and our administration is making sure we are doing all that we can to bring him to justice.
    …”

  8. Two of many horrible and detrimental things about democrat politicians is they don’t know when to shut up and they lie: Ilhan Omar Challenges People to Dig Into Her Financial Records, Immediately Regrets It.

    “The rank corruption of so many members of the House of Representatives is hardly a new development, and over the last several years, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has added her chapter to the book. In a recent interview with Business Insider, the controversial Minnesota congresswoman, who has been accused of marrying her brother to skirt immigration laws, complained about a ‘coordinated, right-wing disinformation campaign’ regarding her finances.

    She then challenged them to check her ‘public financial statements.’ As you’ll see, that turned out to be a very bad idea because the Free Beacon did just that, and what they found was damning.

  9. Minnesota Government Helped Create Annunciation School Shooter.



    In the case of Robin Westman, Minnesota’s policy choices maximized both the likelihood that Westman would turn into a murderer and helped ensure that he could cause the maximum damage.

    Ironically, Westman himself pointed to two of the reasons he became so deranged in the first place.
    …”

    He’s not wrong. Gender ideology has clearly radicalized people, and gender ideology exists to brainwash people into hatred of the larger society. A troubling percentage of recent mass killings have been committed by transgender-identifying individuals. As I have written several times, I doubt that gender dysphoria is the direct cause; gender ideology is. The sudden recent outbreak of trans-identified killers is a direct result of leftists–including government officials–pushing gender ideology.

    1. [in reference to the trans murderer Robert Westman (AKA Robin Westman) and the above link]

      “Laura Ingraham
      @IngrahamAngle
      The cannabis connection can’t be ignored.

      @AlexBerenson
      : ‘Cannabis can trigger psychotic episodes. National studies show new schizophrenia cases tied to THC—and psychosis is linked to violence. In several mass shootings, cannabis use was confirmed in the killers.’
