re: #73 sagehen

actually… they’re suing the military, for not having reported the gunman’s domestic violence conviction to the federal agency that would haven’t have let him pass the background check if they’d known.

I’m guessing that case won’t go anywhere, but I’m not a lawyer.

It’s everyone’s fault (the military in this case) except the weapon.

It’s an Honor to Continue Being Valued over Countless Human Lives (goes to The Onion)

Look, I’m not the type who needs constant validation, and I have never sought preferential treatment from anyone. I just try to focus on doing what I do and not get too caught up in what people think or say about me. But I have to admit, it’s been hard to ignore all the support and appreciation I’ve been receiving lately, particularly over the past several years. That’s why I want to take this opportunity to let all of you know what an absolute honor it is that you continue to value me over countless human lives.

I don’t want to get too sentimental or anything, but it really means the world to me how often you as Americans, through your words and your actions, make it known that I am more important to you than the lives of your fellow citizens.

You see, I’m just a humble lightweight, magazine-fed semi-automatic rifle; I never expected this kind of outpouring of affection.
