Weed makes you violent.

Probably, but domestic disputes usually don't end with seven people dead.

Not usually but ask a cop what call they hate going on the most. Domestic disputes have the potential to get bad real quick.

Thousands of people voted for Lauren Boebert, that should pretty much answer your question.

Mountain people are weird. It's the same story in West Virginia.

The NRA used to be focused on sporting and firearm safety. Now they’re run by a bunch of psychopaths.

Most Gun Owners Support Stricter Laws — Even NRA Members

I've never owned a gun in my life. Obviously have several friends/family members that are gun owners. I don't know a single one of them that doesn't believe there need to be stricter gun laws. The NRA leadership and mouthpiece might actually be wildly out of touch with their core group.

The picture doesn’t have anything to do with gun laws.

The picture is absurd and ridiculous and unnecessary and intentionally inflammatory. No disagreement there.

I know a bunch of my friends who are very pro NRA would love that ad and share it on Facebook all day long. I know it is anecdotal but....

I agree.

It's also important to know that not all gun owners support the NRA; I being one of them.

Truth.

Have you been to a Rockies game? Lines out the ass at the concession stands. Missed three innings for a beer and an elk jalapeño cheddar dog at "Biker Jim's." Apparently, they went out and stalked/killed the elk, field dressed it, and brought it back into Coor's to the delight of the 80 people in line.

It's a desecration!
