A California Superior Court judge arrested last week has now been charged with killing his wife in front of their adult son at their home. Court filings reveal the judge had over 47 weapons and 26,000 rounds of ammunition in his home.
Take a moment to admire the marketing of the gun manufacturers for a minute. Like, imagine someone having 47 toasters.
Gun Manufacturers and the NRA (same thing) are good at what they do.
You think this guy has 47 guns because he’s scared? Really???
Edit: sure keep down voting me. No one buys 47 guns because they are “scared”. Clearly this guy loves guns and collects them for fun. He’s still a POS but describing what drives his behavior as “scared” just makes you look completely out of touch with reality, which doesn’t help improve the overall situation.
That’s not really a fair comparison though. They all handle and fire different. This piece of shit is still a piece of shit, but collecting different guns is more akin to “I participate in 10,000 point fights with my choice of Orks or Blueberry Spacemarines” than toasters.
Noone needs that but that’s a hobby.
A hobby he killed his wife with because it’s a hobby that appeals to shitheads.
Shitheads get into all hobbies. Some hobbies are more dangerous than others, and need more safety than others.
You know what’s a dangerous hobby that ALSO appeals to masculinity-troubled people? Modding cars to go faster and drift harder. You can tool around in them legally and if you drive like a shithead you can drive through a crowd. Modding pickups is also a big shitwaffle magnet. Still a hobby.
I avoided the whole “are guns the problem” subject in my comment for a reason. My comment served to illustrate that collecting large numbers of “Object” is a hobby. Whether or not the hobby is good, or bad, or dangerous, or safe, was not my comment.
At least we agree that it’s mostly the shitheads that are the problem, not so much the hobby. I’m pretty sure this shithead would have killed his wife if his hobby was hiking or cosplay too.
Ever hear the story of the nuclear boy scout? Now thats a hobby no one should be allowed to have.
