Discussion: Gun Shop Raffling AR-15 Rifle To Benefit Orlando Shooting Victims

Are they seriously that fucking stupid or are they just so sleazy that they think it’ll drum up more business for their shop? Brain dead, tone deaf, gun humpers never stop amazing me with their perverse fetish.

More prize douches.

Is today “Doucheday”???

I think sleazy. I hope that the Orlando victim fund announces that it will refuse their donation, whatever the amount. This would be like raffling George Zimmerman memorabilia or swag to benefit the Martin Family or Black Lives Matter. It is the new, who can be more insulting to our political adversaries gimmick of the GOP voter base…

“It was the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.” Too bad these authors, and now many have said / written this delusional statement, do not define “modern U.S. history” (what, the last 2 months is defined as “modern” in this context to be true) because this was not the worst massacre / mass shooting in the USA by a longshot, pardon the pun. Recently an article was published describing many more, worse massacres and mass shootings in our checkered history as a nation. This article is just another PC b.s. artist who has a public platform for his distracting and incorrect writing, about yet, yes, another horrible massacre. When an author states such an uninformed “fact” and handles his terms / word so loosely, the remainder of the article is also suspect, and not to be read as fact or truth. Too bad AP doesn’t have the integrity to attribute, or identify, the author in their AP - attributed article.

jesus christ monkey balls.

I hope whoever wins it goes on a shooting rampage in the gun shop owner’s church.

please name em…

Clearly you know nothing of the genocide of Native Americans. Inform yourself for a change. Get off your lazy TV ass and find out what happened at Wounded Knee and Sand Creek massacres, 2 of at least 50 such horrible massacres far surpassing this one. And you are an American, and know nothing of your nation’s history? Sickening ignoramus. Read yourself, choose to inform yourself instead of living in ignorance and fear and wishing / hoping others will inform you about what is happening in the world, and what has happened in your own country. Read this and weep: http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/36617-the-united-states-land-of-terrorists-and-massacres.

And you are an American, and know nothing of your nation’s history? Sickening ignoramus. Read much? No. Well, try to inform yourself for a change instead of asking others to inform you: Read this sonny: http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/36617-the-united-states-land-of-terrorists-and-massacres.

Clearly you don’t know the def behind that word assumption.

But ty though.

I didn’t have to Google for this and right now that’s a blessing.

Here ya go, sonny:http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/36617-the-united-states-land-of-terrorists-and-massacres.

However please answer the question/state ya source

Especially seeing how you (and the author) are into this idea that mass killings have to go further than 1900.

Did I get that right?

I’ll read it in a bit

What an ignorant writer. This was by no means " … the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history." Doesn’t this writer or these readers inform themselves, or have these readers and this writer chosen to hide from reality, and for what reason: denial of their own history, fear of their own history? Read this and know what it really happening and happened (although this is also a horrible massacre, it pales by a long list of others described here and elsewhere, and not to minimize suffering, but really … ):

Just published only days ago. Read for yourself to know what is happening. Don’t choose only one reader, one source, one news outlet. And don’t expect others to inform you either, because then you’ll have no basis for a critical understanding of the world, and your own nation, worst of all.

note the term: opinion.

Whether the latest mass murderer is insane or not, what is clear is that US citizens must decide whether they will allow murder and plunder across the globe to continue in their names.

“No, no. This conversation shouldn’t be about how high powered weaponry is getting into the hands of those who maybe aren’t in their right minds. Let’s make this about Israel again…”

Did i get that right?

The updated 2016 Roots historical chronicle finally got it right. Africans have resisted European/American terrorism from the moment it reared its ugly head to present day struggle against state sponsored police murders of African peoples. The current version of Roots reminds us that beheadings, lynchings, rapes, kidnappings, selling children, working and boiling people to death did not start with ISIL – these perverted and psychopathic practices constituted the building blocks of the American empire.

which is true, but that opinion piece is again suggesting that we can’t doing anything about gun violence, because according to her (and by default: you) is an essential genetic link in regards to America’s development.

If i’m lying about this author’s intentions in any way…

All massacres are horrific, from Orlando, East St. Louis, My Lai, Vietnam, Wounded Knee to Oklahoma. The latest massacre, however ‘could’ provide an opportunity to understand the nexus between US foreign policy adventures that plunder and violate countries in search of natural resources and US domestic racist actions that trigger staggering incidence of murder and violence on a scale nearly unfathomable outside America.

Huh?

which is it?

Is it the Israelis fault in regards to Palestine or is it ours because at last check, we are still arguing over whether gun violence is more than just an 'emotionally complex’ issue.

Oh for fucks sake.
