If this guy is a product of mental illness, then modern right wingers' ideology is a mental illness.
I do love how the gun nuts try and defend their moronic arguments, "I own SOOOOOO many guns, and I've never done anything bad with them, I'm a perfect person, and would never do anything bad, I am representative of all gun owners, except the bad ones" like its up there with the "if guns are outlawed then only outlaws will have guns" like, uh, no shit, this isn't a profound wise statement, its just a basic statement that doesn't in any way actually address anything being discussed. Constantly repeating the same shit doesn't magically make it not nonsensical. Meanwhile the more we look study, the more it keeps showing guns objectively make things less safe for humans.
Oh look another indoctrinated idiot committing an atrocity because guns allow them to inflict a monumental amount of harm. "Its not the guns!!!!!" says the people constantly fetishizing guns while griping about people pointing out how that mentality is permanently linked with the lies and racism and other hatred being espoused by people openly calling for violence because people disagree with them (in this instance even the supposed disagreement is straight up made up bullshit). Without guns, those people would not feel so emboldened to do the things they are, let alone be able to as easily commit such mass harm. No doubt this will be followed up with "but bombs and cars and other stuff exist!" and the cycle of idiotic arguments wherein they ignore things like basic logic in order to keep making the same stupid claims over and over and over again.
The funniest part is how they brag about their gun fetish but get mad when people just call it plainly what it is. Its sad that people like furries are less cowardly and able to admit their fetish than gun nuts. Which either shows they realize how fucked up it is to fetishize guns, or just shows them for the chickenshit cowards they really are and how their gun obsession is all about their fear. The most pathetic thing of all if how many women, trans people, black people, and others, regularly show incredible amount of bravery by just not giving into near constant legitimate fears, yet gun fetishists constantly cite their fears while claiming they're not afraid at all. Simply pathetic.
At this point, my biggest issue is how they simply cannot be honest with themselves even, and how that prevents them from understanding basic common sense logic, as that's what is fueling basically all the other problems we're facing. But, much like the cryptoevangelists, they can't do that because then the entirety of their arguments would fall to pieces. Nevermind they never needed to make their nonsensical arguments in the first place. But they can't even realize how their arguments expose that none of their arguments are based on rationality. Shooting guns is fun. I personally don't get enough enjoyment from it to outweigh the risks. I feel the same way about motorcycles. I'd be fine with people enjoying both if I didn't have to constantly hear a load of bullshit for them to try and justify that by jumping to ever more nonsensical arguments (regardless of anyone even making any argument against them in any way), which then fuels a load of other idiocy.
