"I said you're fine until I kill you," her caretaker said with Rio Rancho officers present in the room.

Woman calls the police saying she thinks her caregiver is going to kill her and to get her out, the cops come, complement her caregiver’s weapons, and leave; hours later, the caregiver kills her.

          Well, it’s weird and gross. It also pushes away anyone that owns guns and would be willing to compromise

            “As a responsible gun owner I wanted common sense gun legislation, but then someone compared my hobby to a sexual fetish, and now I think convicted domestic abusers have a right to own an AR-15”

            lol

              Put words in my mouth more, daddy.

              Then keep wondering why no legislation gets passed even though 68% of the US supports stricter gun laws, me included.

            This could be the most hamfisted bit of manipulation and tone policing I’ve ever seen.

            “We were just about to compromise after 25 years of spitting on children for not being pro-gun enough after their school shooting, but then I wasn’t allowed to tone police a comment that quoted two legal gun owners flirting over the upcoming murder of a vulnerable person, so instead I’m going to align myself with domestic abusers, murderers and extremists”.

            You should be thankful you’re not being called far, far worse things.

              Gunowners aren’t a monolith, and treating them as such is a great way to alienate potential allies

              But by all means, keep spitting on gunowners for 25 years, that’ll make a difference.

              I’ve got a neat concept for you that you might have never heard of, it’s called “compromise”. It’s where both sides of a negotiation get some, but not all of what they want.
