Rhodes accidentally dropped his .22 caliber pistol and shot himself in the eye.

While this led to him using a prosthetic eyeball, he sometimes also chose to wear an eye patch, which distinguished him among the crowds at various political rallies (and insurrections)...

LOL. Disbarred lawyer and Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes is looking
at a 25-year jail sentence for seditious conspiracy on 6 January.

Oh the irony...

This is a guy who strenuously and aggressively supports his
2nd Amendment "rights", but can't even handle his own gun
safely. Panther
will not be amused!

The carnage just goes on:

Louisiana teenager shot by neighbor as she played hide-and-seek. . . .

Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show shootings are the leading killer of children and teens in the nation, surpassing motor vehicle accidents and other causes.

Why are Americans so afraid. so paranoid?

With 350 million people 0.5% is enough to make a difference in many areas.

The more relevant question would be why are American politicians so corrupt. The number of nuts and paranoid people will exist irrespective.

The problem is the lack of will to solve the issue and that lack of will is directly related to political donations.

I know, right? One of Aquascoot's arguments was just that: America has enough people left alive to cope. Sure, guns might take out a few, but that's just a drop in the bucket. There's still plenty of people and livestock left to cope.

Culling a few chodes via a jolly mass shooting is no different to slaughtering the odd pig or turkey. The important thing is to preserve the arms industry. That's what makes America great.

Not agriculture or pharmaceuticals or patents or education, no. Food and drug companies kill. Knowledge is dangerous. But weapons preserve what's great about America:

DEATH.

culling a few MILLION chodes via a jolly mass sugar and trans fat epidemic is no different to slaughtering the odd pig or turkey, the important thing is to protect the big food, big pharma industry.

we are comparing tiny numbers to 65 % of the american population who are being slaughtered by lies from the FDA that sugar is good and meat is bad Cry

So you both agree that arming citizens with guns is justified via Drafting/Conscription (Enslavement)?

But of course. Why do you think the big fella served McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut at state functions?

Why do you think he put his own son-in-law in charge of billions worth of pharmaceutical subsidies?

Why did he employ his own daughter and allow her to tweet celebrity endorsements for processed food from the Oval Office?

If you support this, you support that.

Ever get the feeling you've been farmed?

Um... I have absolutely NO idea of what you mean by this?

Please clarify. Huh
