To be anti-gun means you must have a severe lack of wit, and enugh empathy to assume everybody in the world is exactly like you. Take this tweet from CSGV
NRA uses JFK–killed with a rifle purchased via an ad in the NRA’s magazine–to peddle its products.
Now first up it is true that Oswald did order his Carcano rifle via an ad in the American rifleman when it was still legal to mail-order guns in America. (It was pretty common for people to mail-order rifles back in the day…as well as buy them in places you might think “odd” today like hardware stores, and department stores back then)
What they fail to mention is that JFK was an NRA life member and an avid collector and shooter. (BTW I JFK received the M1 mentioned via the Mail).
Also for those who follow CSGV who seem to enjoy calling anybody who owns guns an “Insurrectionist” and point fingers of “treason” to their political enemies….note Jack’s talk of civilian marksmanship for “national defense” and the “minuet man spirit”. What do you think Jack was talking about, Ladd?
This reminds me of the anti-rights attraction to Gabby Giffords. Sure she was a democrat, and she was shot by a lunatic with a gun…but she’s also a gun owner (Glock 19, same model as what Loughner had) and she had carried that gun for self-defense…but they assume she’d support any of their twisted ideas, just the same way they think the majority of Americans support their messed up ideals, despite any evidence to support that.
They’re totally bent!
What? JFK had guns? Then it was only a matter of time before he snapped and went on a killing spree!
They’re attracted to Giffords because they can exploit her tragedy and use her as a “victim” for their cause. That’s the only reason. They don’t give two shits about her, only about how they can use her suffering for their gain. They are scum.
Oh its obvious, as they never gave her the time of day BEFORE she caught lead. They probably hated her then anyway because she was a gun owner and a Democrat that was moderate on guns.

The difference between Representative Giffords (who served as my representative in Congress for her entire Congressional career) and Colin Goddard is simple:
When a madman shot Representative Giffords, the bullet damaged her brain, and she is making incredible progress in recovering from the damage. When a madman shot Colin Goddard, the bullet damaged his soul, and he does not appear to have made any progress in recovering from the damage.
Have you read any of the quotes or actions by Colin’s Father?
Colin was ALWAYS like that, just before he was shot, nobody cared.
