Gun owners should be up in arms over this. Why are there no protests or organized calls to Congressional offices? Anyone should be able to do anything they want to with their guns, especially if they don't harm others like this patriotic American.

Strawman much?

Anyone else here love it when when the thread topic is literally a straw man with nothing to discuss?

This sounds a lot like the thuuuuuuuper genius who set his own shoes on fire to protest the Nike deal with Kaepernick.

Yeah. Stupid librul, shooting himself with a gun instead of other people like God intended firearms to. /s
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.

If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Self harming oneself to protest a president is indicative of a person that is not of sound mind.

I... I don't understand. Are you... are you defending him shooting himself as a legitimate act of protest?

Gauth, shooting yourself as an act of political protest is dumb. It is so dumb there is a saying about it. You know "don't shoot yourself in the foot"? Admittedly this particular dumbass shot himself in the shoulder, but still. The dumbassery is clear.

He didn't harm anyone else for one. Plus it's amusingly ironic that the NSG Gun Club is more visibly bothered by a liberal shooting himself than by the numerous threads on mass shootings.

looks around for literally anyone saying anything that would support your post

...

Hm, nothing. Weird.

Ah well. Better luck implying that anyone who doesn't want to categorically ban guns is literally a mass shooter next time mate.

Well, if one absolutely must shoot someone in political protest, I do prefer it to be them shooting themselves in a nonlethal fashion. A better option would be nobody getting shot, but that would be reasonable.

Shooting himself got plenty of news attention so arguably it was more effective than some peaceful means nobody would give a shit about. Any publicity is better than no publicity.

We have a thread on gun issues. Use it.

And the OP is a little thin, too.
