to the "thieves" (bonus! no background check needed) and then collects on their insurance. Or should I not be casting aspersions on the morals of pawn shop and gun store owners?

your twist was neither stated nor inferred in the OP. The point is that there is a demand for guns created by the right-wing gun lobby based on an irrational fear of "boogeymen." Trump and the Tea Party use the same tactic to sell their brand of "solutions" to non-existent problems.

The right-wing uses fear to their advantage in any number of ways, and the mass distribution of guns is but one of them.

Not that they are a useful tool of the trade?

is not a strong suit with gunners, but the "irrational fear of boogeymen" is what causes the demand for dealers to stock so many guns. Criminals view gun dealers as a ready source of guns to steal.

Now you can run back to the Gungeon and tell all of your buddies how you really showed those grabbers a thing or two, Bubba.

Using the written word. How you expect anyone to extrapolate that point from what is then an essentially incomprehensible post is beyond me.

Oh, and what is your intent in using the word "bubba"?

Bubba.

Agitprop as yours does, I imagine it must be extremely difficult to convey anything more complex than the simple regurgitation of scripted dialogue.

You seem to have an affinity for the word "bubba". What meaning to you intend it to convey, and why wouldn't you answer this question when it was posed to you earlier?

we know that you're lonely and afraid. Go cuddle with your gun and you'll feel much better.

I can't imagine you intended to, but there it is. Impressive display of unoriginal thought.

Does call that posters intellect into question.

were agreeing with him, but he left us without saying goodbye...

(tho few thank goodness) and individuals do this.

and it doesn't surprise me.
