    Did they remember to classify it as fiction?

    "In the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings," King writes, "gun advocates have to ask themselves if their zeal to protect even the outer limits of gun ownership have (sic) anything to do with preserving the Second Amendment as a whole, or if it's just a stubborn desire to hold onto what they have, and to hell with the collateral damage."

    In the wake of fuckwittery like this, free speech advocates have to ask themselves if their zeal to protect even this sort of utter nonsense has anything to do with preserving the First Amendment as a whole, or if they just love retarded bullshit.

    Is the second amendment worth 20 dead children? Yes. Millions have died without such a right.

    Say that with a straight face and the progtard wont have a response.

    Just give into the shit weasels, eh Stephen?

      Your don't really think he gave in do you? I am certain he willingly joined those who think that We the People should not be allowed to maintain a means of effective self-defense.

    To me this is rather ironic because I find most horror movies only mildly scary. In the back of my mind I keep thinking "a 12 gauge would stop that".
