While scrolling through the dashboard on tumblr, I found a link to nradoesntspeakforme. It’s a site full of submissions of gun owners who… don’t get it. They send pictures holding a sign that says, “I’m a gun owner who supports laws to reduce gun violence.” with their name & location. What they’re really saying is, “See, I’m a gun owner, just like you! But I feel that many guns are too big/powerful/scary compared to mine and they should be restricted more.” or alternatively, “Hey there, non-gun owners! As you can see I own a gun and speak for all gun owners and even I think that we need more laws. Don’t you agree?”
If someone disagrees with the NRA, that’s fine, it’s not mandatory to support them. But the calls for more laws “to end gun violence” are just to dupe people into giving up their freedom. None of the proposed laws will make anyone safer, none of them will impact criminals more than the innocent, and the only major change that will happen is responsible gun owners having more shit to put up with. Strangely enough(but not surprisingly), some of the idiots in the pictures are from california and new York, both of which almost seem to be competing for most restrictive gun laws in the country(massachusetts, illinois, and new jersey are a few others). To someone who appreciates guns the laws in these places are frustrating and ridiculous. To a fudd cuck proud to be on that site, it’s not enough, and they won’t stop pushing for more. Not only that, but they want other states to follow the terrible examples they’ve set.
The term “Fudd”(as in Elmer Fudd, the cartoon character) is used to describe someone who believes that guns only can be used for hunting and nothing else, and only certain guns can be used for it. Now this belief might work for them, but imposing it on other gun owners is bogus. The reason why is that guns have multiple uses, and the fact fudds only use them for hunting is no excuse to ban the rest. Even if you never plan on target shooting, competition shooting, or having to use one in defense, why limit your possible options? And why limit others who responsibly use them for different purposes(and might be in a rougher environment)? Furthermore, the guns that aren’t considered “sporting enough” to hunt with? Take the standard magazine out, slap a smaller magazine in, and lo and behold, it can hunt durr!
The term “cuck”(as in cuckold, someone who watches their spouse get fucked) gets thrown around a lot on the internet these days, but it applies well to this situation. Compromising rights allows politicians to fuck with said rights. Just like with fudds hunting only mentality, some people are fine with giving up their freedom. In fact, they get off on it and it’s all they know and want to know. That doesn’t mean that everyone else should be required to. It’s also apparent that not all the owners on the site are aware of what they’re doing. “Oh, you don’t like the NRA? You want to reduce gun violence, right? Here hold this sign.” They are being used as a political tool to push an antigun agenda while claiming gun ownership. The next step would be getting them to rat out gun owners who don’t want more restrictions.
