Some of my followers will hate me for this, but damn, I hate guns. I really do. As someone who was a conservative for many years, I always supported the right to bear arms. But this is nuts. And the fact that there are people out there who literally worship guns makes me sick. 1/
When mass shootings first became a problem, the first thing the gun rights supporters should have done to protect the 2A is come to the table and aggressively address the issue. Maybe some did. But the majority started spreading fear that Obama would confiscate their guns. 2/
They came up with conspiracy theories about Newtown. They talked about gun registries and made dumbass ads that cast anti-gun groups as the enemy. They’re not the enemy; they’re just trying to protect their families. The shooters are the enemy, to the pro- and anti-gun groups. 3/
I know there are plenty of gunowners who are safe, responsible, and as outraged about these mass shootings as everyone else. But unfortunately, there are too many others who think their 2A right supersedes everyone else’s right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. 4/
Ironically, these people are the biggest threat to 2A rights. Because as more and more of these shootings pile up, there will be more people like me, who always supported gun rights, but who are now sick and tired of being told we can’t do anything to solve this problem. 5/
Prayers for all those affected by the shooting today and for all the first responders. God bless 🙏🏻 6/6
