Joan Peterson doesn’t seem to having a very happy holiday season, because so many of us bought guns for Christmas gifts. I sincerely hope we will continue to disappoint her. This latest hysteria is over a picture of a newborn posed with guns. She asks:
Why take photos like this? Why do some gun owners think that guns and kids go together and then put them together in a photo that goes viral on social media? We have enough examples of children shot in “accidental” and intentional shootings.
Why take photos like this? Â The reason, dear Joan, he took that photo was to get a rise out of hysterical ninnies like you. Mission accomplished! I am not a fan of the baby’s hand being placed so close to the muzzle of the firearm, but I’m not naive enough to believe the baby is in any real danger. Don’t be surprised when you stick your nose in other people’s business they don’t decide to rhetorically punch it every once in a while.
Also notice that Joan believes all those firearms shown in that photo are dreaded “assault weapons.” Thanks for proving our point that “assault weapons” are any guns that scare you, which is all guns, apparently. It helps in understand the real agenda here.
I think she’s more vexed that at least half of the people in the pictures were new gun owners. This puts lie to her theory that us few gun nuts are buying and hoarding the millions of firearms being manufactured these days.
I must say that string of pictures she links to made me smile. And, since this ties into the topic going on in the other thread, nearly half of those Christmas guns appeared to be for women. Wow.
I’d like to see the pictures, but no way in hell am I giving that shrill harpy any web traffic.
If only there was a way to link to them without giving them traffic.
I very much agree with the other people commenting: let’s all make a resolution this year to ignore the Minneapolis Moron?
Just keep her out of Texas!
We have had all of Shannon Watts that we can stand.
She’s good for a laugh when the news cycle is slow.
Surprising lack of old fat white men in a lot of those pictures.
Where is your stereotype now Joan?
