Uncle Bill
We have a gun loving guy at the Beauty Shop who pitches a wall eyed snot nosed hissy fit any time I mention that Jim Bob does not need an AK47.
Even though I am a gun owner – a rifle – he thinks I’m what’s wrong with Texas and why Democrats can’t win here.
He goes by the handle of Uncle Bill—-
I got this comment from him on this post shortly after the shooting started this morning
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It would seem from the comments here that democrats are as closed minded as the republicans. Do y’all really want to define the party as just against that “evil black rifle” the governor owns. If you assume that only republicans enjoy the shooting sports, you are making a mistake. A democrat can’t even be elected dog catcher in most of Texas now and you folks want to alienate another voting group. It’s going to take a diverse party to make Texas a two party state again and that is not going to happen by calling an inanimate object “evil” because the governor owns one or because a nutcase uses one for evil. Let the flaming begin!!
I did not approve it because I didn’t think it was appropriate while little helpless children in America were dodging bullets at school.
But, Uncle Bill was not to be deterred. Thirty minutes later I get this from him as a comment.
LOL!! Censored me!! How democratic of you!!
Children were being shot and killed.
I emailed him at the email address on his comment at 12:01.
There is a gunman in an elementary school this morning shooting at little children. No, I will not publish your asinine comments while children are being shot. If it takes losing Texas elections to save the lives of innocent shoppers and little kids, then enjoy your damn victory.I am a gun owner and a fifth generation Texan. This is my microphone. I paid for it. Shove it.
He sent another comment at 12:20
Way to go, you are doing a great job keep Texas a red state. Never mind that the governor has messed with birth control, poor people and kids education. The best you can do is piss off a large number of democrats who don’t buy into the idea that they would be safer with a knife than with a gun. For a group that claims to be educated, you don’t seem to understand that the more people you are willing to throw under the bus, the fewer people who will support you.
Don’t worry, I won’t bother trying to voice an opinion on this forum again. I have learned my lesson. It’s funny, when I go to the range and tell my shooting buddies that I voted for Obama, they tease me, but we are still friends.
Uncle Bill
He has been put on the blacklisted list.
These gun nuts are nuts.
We have no choice but to fight them before they kill us all, and say it’s for freedom.
