MODERATORS
We need to stop being in shock and awe at how stupid these people are and start understanding that they are our enemies. They work in direct opposition to the welfare of average Americans. They're also stupid. But more importantly, they are our enemies, and we need to start framing it as such.
Enemies? I disagree. It's more like watching a toddler playing with a loaded gun.
Toddlers murder a wild number of people.
This is exactly a toddler with a gun.
Edit for numbers:

Remember, children cannot purchase guns in the USA. Many also lack the hand strength to fire.
I apologize for the source.
I actually know someone this happened to. Dad came home and midway through changing got a call from his father in law and went to go help him, leaving his concealed carry weapon on the nightstand. Toddler son got a hold of it and killed himself. On the day before his slightly older sister's birthday.
Kid was buried on the property, within sight of the front porch. Mom demanded that and then couldn't handle being there so they moved in with her folks for the next couple of years, and their living room was practically a shrine to the kid.
Fuck That is a tragic story.
