      To be fair, they’re a gun manufacturing lobby, not really a gun rights lobby.

        Exactly. They don’t care if you have your Abrahamic God Given Right to own an assault rifle. They just care if the people who have the money are panicking and buying guns.

        Which… people should keep in mind when the gun nuts on social media swarm a thread to post links to gunbrokers dot com and the like and tell you “it doesn’t matter what you have, just buy a gun and practice” and all that.

        Like… I assume we ALL know the It’s Always Sunny gag about “so anyway, I started blasting”. What people don’t necessarily realize is the context which is Frank, who has monetary interest in local gun shops, is trying to panic the people of Philly into buying guns from his stores.

      I liked the version that was:

      "I would have never thought I’d fight side by side with a libertarian. "

      “Taxation is theft.”

      “Shut the fuck up and put your gas mask on.”
