I'm no more guilty of any crimes against children using a gun than he most likely is guilty of what's been (most likely in jest) suggested here.

+1, how did people miss the crossed out NRA sign?

He was a big anti nuke protester in the 60s, 70s, 80s and my ex said that growing up as a kid she was sure the world was going to end in nuclear annihilation at any moment because he brought her to all of the protests.

He was probably drafted, one older guy I used to work with is a Vietnam war vets and as hippies as it gets but were drafted and had to go. Most vets after those two wars join the military voluntarily since they were not drafted.

Mark Kelly, Giffords husband, stated "I was shot at". He was flying a F18 Hornet and bombing Iraq. What the fvck did he expect? Maroon! $3.1 trillion for these senseless wars...

Vet or not the guy is a fucking idiot. I still think he bought the hat. A ploy to draw more attention due to the holiday and supporting our troops.

His occupy the world button says the most to me about his personal character. He judges all NRA members based off the violence of a psychopath, why not judge him as being a pedophile/hippy/socialist/fake vet. Seems fair to me.

I have a dream where I see myself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at me.
