Hardcore gunners are a bunch of sick fucks. [View all]

There's simply no other way to put it and there's a special place in hell for these pustulent growths on society.

I ran across this headline in a gunner publication:

Biden Using Veteran Suicides As Sick Pretext to Target Gun Dealers
https://www.ammoland.com/2021/11/biden-using-veteran-suicides-as-sick-pretext-to-target-gun-dealers/#axzz7DXF58D4O

The article correctly points out that more than 20 veterans commit suicide by gun EVERY DAY but then blames the VA and attacks Biden because, and I quote form the article, “The Biden administration . . . will order the ATF to “seek to revoke the licenses of dealers the first time that they violate federal law.”

See, they don't really give a shit about the veterans it's all about the poor helpless gun dealers who cavalierly ignore federal law.

Allow me to share a little background on the problem of gun dealers ignoring federal and in some cases international law. There are 78,000 gun dealers (twice as many as McDonald's and Starbucks COMBINED) and only 700 ATF agents. About a third, 38,000 dealers, were found to have violated state and federal law but only 1.6% of them lost their license.

The ATF is the only agency that is smaller than it was 10 years ago. Through funding cuts and attrition it has not been able to maintain enough agents to actually monitor gun dealers much less police them. Biden's pick to head the agency (the first Director in a decade) was defeated in the Senate. The gun industry has also infiltrated the agency with sympathizers who ignore or bury violations of gun laws by dealers. Of all recommendations to remove licenses only 40% are acted on by political appointees at management level. If just one issue, gun trafficking to Mexico, were stopped 47% of gun stores would go out of business.

Read the article here: https://www.thetrace.org/2021/05/atf-inspection-report-gun-store-ffl-violation/ but do it on an empty stomach. From one ATF report, “One owner told an ATF investigator that he was busy and didn’t give a shit,” 

So, yeah, the Biden Administration wants to enforce the fucking law and take a few licenses but gunners see that as an all out attack on GUN RIGHTS.

Gunners, anti vaxxers, Jan 6ers all belong in the lowest level of hell stewing in a flaming pot of shit.

But that's just my opinion . . .
