That is just a dumb photo. I have no idea why (some) Americans are so obsessed with posing with guns. I know I have been guilty of this (very vaguely, and its not even a fair equivalency, I am more so talking about family photos), but never in a family photo (and always alone in a secure location).
they know it has great shock value ... blows the panties right off the intended targets

off course if you imagine your constituents will have the opposite reaction, loving it, well then

I doubt if any Christian right-wingers will mention guns aren't in the Christian message. Nor is using politics in a Christian message unless you want to debase it.

But I'm fine with people on the right embracing it.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

This picture was a stupid thing to publish at this point. Maybe at any point. Just because you "can" do something doesn't mean you "should" do something.

I still hear members of the squad talking about eliminating prisons and defunding the police with no real solutions; that talk is much more dangerous than a stupid picture. You don't think the criminals are listening and reacting to no/low bail and refusals to charge crimes by DAs?


I think that we can do that as long as the members of the squad are instead the ones to report to crimes in progress. After they are all killed, which should only take about 37 minutes, then we’ll go back to having police again.

That’s sure to get him re-elected and probably a shoe-in for Senate when Mitch finally does us all the favor of dying, God willin’ and the creek don’t rise. Bless Kentucky’s heart.

You really think the Christian Right-Wingers actually know what is or isn’t in the Bible in the first place? That’s cute. They have no idea what the, “Christian message,” says. Simply enough, they just say it says whatever they want it to say at that particular moment. Such things as vaccines being against God’s will and what have you.

What’s Kentucky’s literacy rate in the first place? 14%, something like that? Maybe I’m being too harsh on people who couldn’t actually read the message even if they wanted to.

A classic RonC “both sides” false equivalence.

Can’t just say the GOP rep’s picture was dumb. Gotta bring up the squad and some completely different issue for some “balance.”

are there guns to mention? no.

But check this out:

Quote: Luke chapter 22
36 He said to them, “ ... sell your cloak and buy [a sword]...
38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”

“That’s enough!” he replied.
They weren't going into this thing unarmed
