They should collect stamps or baseball cards instead.

It's macho nonsense. Gun ownership has been directly linked to both increased suicide and deaths of children. The number of idiots who leave loaded guns by their bedside or on the back seats of cars is unbelievable. The whole lot should be placed in institutions.

I wonder why they need (want) so many guns.

I gather 72% of Americans don't own guns. It's very American not to have a gun. 3% of Americans have more than half of the country's guns. These are the ultra-patriotic spree shooters, psychopaths, and general hoodlums that the Republicans always rush to protect after some kids in a school have been shot up.

That reminds me, I saw a comment in another thread saying the person didn't know anyone who didn't have a gun. I don't have one and neither do the members of my immediate family. Are we un-American??

Republicans are always making death threats. Notice that with all their talk of BLM violence, they are the ones who shoot people or run them down in their cars?

I just saw this:
An attorney for President Donald Trump’s reelection efforts said on Monday that Chris Krebs, the former head of U.S. cybersecurity, should be “shot” for going against the president’s conspiracy theories and declaring the 2020 elections as secure.
“Anybody who thinks the election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity,” said Trump campaign lawyer Joe DiGenova, “that guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot.”
