Liberals have no limits in their desire to advance their political ideals. For example, it's perfectly fine to gloat about the home invasion and rape of a 71 year old gun-owning woman because it gives an anecdotal undermining of the second amendment. Doesn't matter that a law abiding geriatric was raped by a felonious sexual predator. What matters is the bigger picture: guns and gun owners are the enemy and must be destroyed... even if a few grandmas have to be raped and paraded about on the internet to get there.

So you are laughing that some people get offended at the political capitalization of granny getting raped, but you are not specifically laughing at granny getting raped. Thanks for the clarification.

I am laughing at a few individuals who feel like they have moral high ground to stand on when certain posts, threads and situations in the past would suggest otherwise.

Lol. Those hypocrites and their moral high ground when it comes to judging those who celebrate geriatric rapists.

The point is that it's thread worthy on the OrangeMane when a gun wielding geriatric gets raped in spite of the gun, and it gives an anecdotal reason to gloat at the expense of gun owners.

And yet had she blown the guy away it would have been politicized by the NRA and the right as the perfect argument for the unlimited freedom of the 2nd amendment. So. Yes I think you missed the point.

So I will count you in with W*gs and Req as being glad that granny didn't actually shoot a home invader/rapist, because it would have been a political win for the NRA. Also noteworthy, granny was raped specifically and only because she was unable to shoot her attacker. Again, this speaks to the fact that liberals do not care about details as long as the political agenda is served. Granny gets raped? No problem as long as it wasn't my granny and it agrees with my world view.

Situation 1: anonymous granny confronts home invader and would-be rapist with semi-auto high capacity gun, kills intruder with said gun after 30 shots. NRA exploits situation and publicizes this scenario as a reason to own a semi-automatic gun with high capacity magazine and vote republican. Majority of populous votes republican based only on this issue. Situation 2: gun wielding anonymous granny is overpowered by home invader and raped in spite of her gun. Liberals successfully use situation as a reason to convince populous to vote democrat and strict gun control. Which situation would you choose?

You're being dishonest, Doc. You know perfectly well that no one is "celebrat[ing] geriatric rapists." What's being (rightly) lampooned is how the gun nuts think everyone who's packing morphs into Dirty Harry. Everyone walking around cocked and loaded doesn't solve anything, as this incident sadly demonstrates. Save the sanctimony.

Lol. Not even close. For the "bad guys rolling into town" I have an Armalite AR 10 with multiple 25 round mags, and a mossburg 12 gauge pump. Thats after they get past my gate and rhodesian ridgeback dog. Two revolvers would be for target practice.

In Wagstopia, Granny would've just realized right off the bat how powerless she was, and maybe would've had time to request a glass of wine or some mood music first, instead of wasting all that time trying to shoot a rapist. |

First I reject the notion of your binary proposal, that there are only two outcomes, especially based off the context of what I wrote. Second I also reject your forced choice outcome. I’ll take a third option, one in line with my beliefs and what I posted. The minute the dude entered her house he forfeited his right to life in my opinion. 71 year old grandma now has a range of options available to her from doing nothing, to maiming, to dismembering him piece by blown away piece, or a killshot. Police come, congratulate her on her choice and marksmanship clean up and go home. She gets whatever assistance she needs, if any, to cope with the fact she chose to kill a guy. Story makes newspaper, she gets town support and it ends there. No politics, no grandstanding no making her a poster child for anything. So I’m curious what would you choose? |
