    Also, the congressman has his fucking finger on the trigger like the big stupid idiot that he is. Like, if you’re going to be a “gun person,” can’t you at least follow the rules? There’s so much wrong with this person and this photo.

    People like this are the reason I got out of target shooting, which was the only sport I was ever any good at (which turned out to be really great for me, because I was able to explore machining and electronics stuff which I like more). Like, I was just there for the engineering challenge and precision, when it seemed like a bunch of the people I was competing with were there for the “2nd amendment fuck yeah fuck the libs fuck the poor my gun is an extension of my big floppy weiner” shit. I have such contempt for people like this, and I’ve grown to feel horrified at the violence that this type of behavior leads to.

      Do you live in a conservative area? I ask because I’m a target shooter, and I’m even a member of a shooting club, and nobody is like that there. They’re all very respectful and respectable people, who treat guns as the deadly instruments that they are, and treat shooting as a challenging sport. But I live in a very liberal area. Like super liberal, to the tune of 98% liberal.
