My 10 week old daughter and me at an open carry walk today. She's of course also carrying.
I am trying to determine what about this photo bothers me the most.
The fact that this man brought his infant daughter to protest where she would be surrounded by automatic weapons.
The fact that she must share a house with him that is undoubtedly full of automatic weapons.
Or the fact that he will raise her to think that it is perfectly natural to own a large number of automatic weapons.
I'm going to go with all of the above.
I should clarify this by saying that I really don't have an issue with somebody owning a handgun that they keep safely locked up in their homes for personal protection.
I personally think that a good dog, pr perhaps an alarm system, is a much better deterrent against burglary or home invasion, but to each their own.
But in my mind there is NO justification for this desire to walk along the streets of a city or town, with a military style assault weapon strapped to your shoulders.
To my mind that is an indication of an unhinged mind, and possibly somebody who is looking for a confrontation in order to have an excuse to use their weapon against another human being.
And I don't give a shit about what these assholes say, there is NOTHING in the 2nd Amendment that protects their right to be such obvious douchebags.
To my mind that is an indication of an unhinged mind, and possibly somebody who is looking for a confrontation in order to have an excuse to use their weapon against another human being.

yup. And even if you're a gun-lover, something is so wrong about this guy with his baby this photo, it is obscene. Just because you can, why would you? Pot is legal in a few states, would he go to a puff-in with her, too?
you're a fucking idiot
DeleteThis whole page is full of fucktards.
DeleteYou're idiots.. the safest place on the planet for this father and his baby to be is surrounded by like minded individuals like himself. It's people like you who posted this thread that people like him become weary of. The people that think this country and our people and our safety as a nation aren't at risk. Open your eyes look around you. The simple beliefs that this country and our Constitution were formed around are slowly being taken away. Don't you think if solid minded individuals carried and protected ourselves that crim would be abysmal? It's a free country there's nothing illegal about owning or carrying multiple firearms,just as its ok for Jane doe to have an abortion, or for you to go to the diner of your choice. The difference is minimal. Some of the men and woman on this March are school teachers,doctors,engineers,transportation workers etc. The same people you surround yourself publicly everyday, those same people that might also save your life someday. Think before you speak remember your freedoms before they are taken from you and I... mic drop!!!
DeleteIt's really surprising he was able to father a child, given his hilariously obvious great difficulty in getting it up, not to mention its glaringly obvious miniscule size. Maybe he'd better get her DNA tested on his way home from the tiny inoperative dick rally.
ReplyDeleteChildish insults. Are you a small child?
DeleteI take it you have a needle dick too, 4:08.
DeleteYou can't be older than 13. Only the middle school mind would find joy in using the word "dick". Please attend your local school.
DeleteThat guy should never breed. Hey Asshole, where's your bible?
ReplyDeleteYour so far out of line to say he should not have breed. An the bible is a work of fiction.
DeleteI bet that this 21 y o in body only (not maturity)
ReplyDeletea) isn't married to the baby momma
b) isn't employed full time and/or lives at home
c) spend the cash on guns and lets taxpayers pick up the diaper bill.

"I get the urge a lot but my fiancé who is still a little uncomfortable around guns won't let me. What'd you get?"
Yep honey, take the kid and leave the idiot. Only a matter of time before he or one of his idiot buddies leaves the gun within reach of the kid.
I'm pretty sure that we have a couple of high school dropouts who unfortunately bred.
DeleteYikes, what would cause a young man to be so full of serious cognitive dissonance like this? He should be at home having a nice Sunday afternoon with his family. Why is he so afraid?
Delete3:09pm
DeleteIgnorant people who were too young and too stupid to have children. They are all over the place. Eugenics was an underrated idea that never gained enough support.
He actually works full time while going to school tonsupport hid baby and his fiancé with no government assistance. He is a fantastic father that happens to like guns. He is an advocate for gun education and a tighter sysyem to regulate ownership. Its amazing to me how quickly people are willing to pass judgement on people and situations they know nothing about.

At first I didn't enlarge the pic, so I thought the kid was "carrying" a diaper full of poop. Guess I was wrong--there she is with her pretty pink Princess gun in a pretty pink Princess holster. I won't even have to guess if it's real or a fancy toy, 'cause I already know the answe r.
ReplyDeleteY'know, the more I see shit like this, I really wonder if morons with deep famewhore issues just do this for the PR.
Regardless, you don't actually know if it's fake or not. Therefore, your argument is invalid. Will you allow your children to play with toy soldiers? Isn't that theoretically the same thing as a fake gun?
Deletea relative of schaeffer cox ?
ReplyDeleteMy God. What an idiot. I notice the child's mother is not there or is she taking the photo?) All I can say is, anyone who gets to know this family better keep THEIR kids far away from that house. And I'm betting the little girl doesn't live past five. That's a lot of guns that need 'cleaned' on a regular basis, and he obviously has no qualms about having loaded weapons around child.
ReplyDeletefuk george bush for allowing the automatic weapons ban to expire
ReplyDeleteautomatic were never banned. They are however extremely rare and very hard to obtain because of licenses required. What you're looking at is no different than a revolver. Only one bullet per trigger pull.
DeleteDarwin will be kind enough to take care of the spawns of these creeps. Sad to say but some genetic traits are better left dead-ended.
ReplyDeleteOpen Carry Texas Invades Art Festival, Brings Armed Kids!
ReplyDeleteGun-toting domestic terrorists Open Carry Texas are still at it! The group decided that, despite being banned from Sundance Square, they would just attend anyway!
The group–complete with their arsenal–showed up yesterday to once again push the issue of unrestricted open carry of long guns, even bringing armed children to the event, according to Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. While they did not say if these were “good kids with guns” or the “bad” variety we can only assume, given the group’s track record, that these would be the “bad kids with guns.”
The group posted a woman’s phone number and name via a YouTube video the other day in an attempt to intimidate and punish her for having the audacity to report a group of armed lunatics wandering around in public, and has previously waited outside of a restaurant armed to the teeth to bully anti-gun group Moms Demand Action.
http://aattp.org/open-carry-texas-invades-art-festival-brings-armed-kids/
I saw that video you're talking about. That phone call, and any others made to the police station, is public record.
DeleteANYONE could have gotten her number.
But you'reaware the MMothers Demand Action groups spread cold-cut lies about the open carry group, right? MDA claimed when the OC group went to a Jack In The Box for a meal, the employees were all shocked at the sight of a firearm, and his in the freezer. What actually happened, the OC group went to jack in the box for a meal, made friendly talk with the employees, and even took a picture with one of them. And guess what, the employee looked full of joy to be with these men in the picture, not horrified.

DeleteIm black and can tell you're secretly racist
You don't want to see people openly displaying guns in protest of gun control attempts..... stop trying to push gun control.
ReplyDeleteIts that simple.
It really isn't that simple. People who do that enjoy intimidating people. I'm not anti gun - I have a fuckin' arsenal in my house, but they are locked up and I do not ever feel the need display them in public. Incredibly stupid to be so in your face and aggressive. You're giving all us gun owners a bad name.
DeleteOh bullshit! It has nothing to do with gun control. It's a psychological disorder for people to emit power or strength.
DeleteI don't see anything intimidating or aggressive in that photo. I don't necessarily think these public displays are all that productive either, but civil public protests to support rights of all types are an american tradition. So, don't threaten gun control, and they will mostly disappear. 4:30 you are really just projecting what you want to think of this person, nothing else. 4:22, stating you have a 'fucking arsenal' in your house, and then stating that people who are participating in a peaceful civil demonstration are giving you a bad name, is just odd
DeleteI live in the west- grew up with guns and hunting. My gun collection would give most gun enthusiasts a hard on. I have always been responsible with them and have NEVER thought the govt was going to take my guns away. It's folks like you who scare people who don't own guns . Take it down a notch. There is no reason to parade around with your weapon. You're coming across as a lunatic. You can share your love of weapons without being in your face about it. You scare people.
DeleteNo they won't 5:22. We've already seen this ridiculousness. As in, they just WON the right to open carry - BUT he's out there protesting. You don't LOGIC much do you?
Delete5:46- Do you actually read- I said I don't think these types of protests are that productive either- I certainly wouldn't participate in them, or in any other rally- not my thing. Point is, this is about rights and the right to demonstrate about whatever the cause is. I'm sure many of the fine folks here at IM would be up in arms if the right to hold pro-choice rallies was somehow infringed.... but those demonstration do occur because they are always (and rightly so) worried about the religious right taking away their freedoms of choice. If there were never any question about pro-choice rights- you wouldn't see any domonstrations from either side. Same difference in my mind.
DeleteRegardless, there is really nothing intimidating or aggressive about this photo besides possibly being in poor taste.
6:48 there has been an underlying murmur (threat to some) of gun control on a federal level for the last several years no matter what state you live in and what the local laws are. Add to that a democrat white house that was recently pushing for gun control (which they have quieted on because uit was a loser). Your logic doesn't see the big picture as to why these demonstrations are occurring.
I'm sorry your dick is so undersized, 3:59, but that's your problem. I would think you'd rather keep that to yourself, rather than advertise it to the whole world.
Delete7:06, you seem like a very angry person.
DeleteI find it intimidating when someone has a gun strapped to their body when no one knows when he or she may get pissed off or find something threatening then start shooting. Frankly, I do not chose to need to carry a gun to a store or other public venue in case a nut case starts shooting I can join in as if the local strip mall is the Wild West.
DeleteThe only family member who carries does so to intimidate people even at the grocery store, he gets a kick out of people's reaction when he has them see his pistol while they are peacefully looking for pancake mix. He also claims he has PTSD from serving in Iraq....which is not safe if he is carrying a loaded gun and has PTSD. Since teenage he got sick kicks from saying sexually inappropriate things to provoke reactions from adults and so it goes with his weapon.
I hope that precious little baby doesn't accidently find one of dad's guns when she's older and shoots and kills someone. Things like that happen all the time. When that happens I hope they throw that dumbass father in prison.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that if she does find a gun she kills herself or her daddy but no innocent folks. That genetic material really doesn't need to go any further.
DeleteWow 4:40, thats quite a wish. You actually want a baby to shoot herself- but are anti-gun. Who are the real sickos?
DeleteThey're talking about ending the genetics, not necessarily the person..
Delete4:02 You're fucked up. 6:49 thats how the holocaust happened, lets just end some bad genetics...
DeleteThe only thing I take issue with is calling this idiot a "man". He obviously has issues and CPS should get involved. In this child's world, she'll see weapons as playthings, and when the inevitable does happen, it'll be called "an unfortunate accident", and the boy will get off scott free.
ReplyDeletefunny, CPS has NO problem with lawful, safe firearms ownership... someone tried to get them involved after my wife was breastfeeding while OCing in the park in Oberlin... CPS called "BS" and dropped the investigation... I don't necessarily think that carrying a long gun is the best option for everyday carry, but if one is under 21, it is the only option, since handguns are not legal for carry by an 18-20 yr old in Ohio... as for "weapons as playthings," I beg to differ... a child who is properly trained doesn't screw round with guns... my almost three year old has already been tested multiple times... (unloaded firearm left out (even in the middle of all the toys), mom and dad in another room... so funny to watch her come running in: "Mommy, Daddy, there's a gun!" "Did you touch it?" "No! Always loaded!" (She's learning the rules of gun safety along with counting, colors, and her ABCs...)
DeleteI have two young grandsons who are obsessed with killing, stabbing, blowing up people, laser guns blasting people to pieces that they see in Ninja shows and video games. I believe that if there were real guns, weapons around they might not think twice of grabbing one, aim and kill someone. Especially if the parents modeled weapons to kill are an accessory for a walk since a child was an infant.
DeleteProtests are not for children IMO.
I called CPS on a child in my state who's 12 years of age and was open carrying in a dog park because in my state, the minimum age to open carry is 18 with a permit. The gun the kid was packing was loaded and registered to his dad.
Deletehttp://www.opencarry.org/?page_id=286
The minimum age to open carry, in Ohio, is 18. The boy's child is 10 months old. Because he has a gun and I have to agree with him, the pink gun his ten month old is "open carrying" must be real, Right?
Wow. You are actually bragging about calling CPS on someone. Well good job on sticking your nose where it didn't belong and probably tearing that family apart. Anita I'm sure you have spent a lifetime brown-nosing and thinking your queefs are the best in town. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, that pretty much everyone around the world is aware of if they have any sense at all... Nobody, and I mean nobody, likes a snitch. It's universal. You are a CPS calling loser. Snitch.
DeleteActually Anita was being a responsible citizen.
DeleteEvery person that came near that young man was a potential victim.
And nobody this side of middle school uses the word "snitch" anymore.
12:09 Sounds like you raised some shitty kids who have raised even worse children, heaven help my little angel who can't differentiate between real life and a video game. Someone else must have cause this and I must blame them and not myself. You probably blame rap music and mtv for the degradation of the late 90's and early 2000's.
DeleteI'm just curious have you ever taken a gun safety class or done any major research on firearms in general? Your post has a number of basic inaccuracies and you seem like a scared middle aged house wife living in an upper class suburb. Am I correct to that assumption?
DeleteWell you are projecting Anita, you know about as much of this young man as I do. Know nothings like you always think that you can project what is best for others even though you know nothing other than your own little opinion. What are his issues exactly that you know so much about smarty pants? I'll tell you one good way to screw up any child and family- is to get CPS involved. That about the dumbest thing anyone can do if they want what is best for a child.
ReplyDeleteHe is publicly advertising his lack of manhood.
DeleteI'm projecting nothing, it's illegal for an infant to open carry. The link is in my reply above.
DeleteThere's no law concerning open carrying a toy gun.
DeleteHe actually HAS a gun strapped to her tiny body... :/
ReplyDeleteSMH
It's pretty obviously a toy gun.
DeleteYour lack of understanding of guns is obvious Gryphen. That is not an automatic weapon. Outside the military and law enforcement there are few automatic weapons and there is a very stringent permit process to own one.
ReplyDeleteWe need to tax the hell out of the 1% so we can afford to build asylums where we can incarcerate and study those that have an uncontrollable desire to carry assault-style weapons.
ReplyDeleteSomething is obviously very very wrong with them, and the rest of us need to find what it is and fix it because those poor, sad bastards are sick in the head.
Creepy loser of a father! I really feel for the child because this guy will make his life a living hell. So sad.
ReplyDeleteWell first off its a girl... secondly those are pretty large assumptions. How do you know he's not going to be a doctor, lawyer, or teacher? Or because he owns a gun that makes him ignorant. Anyone else see a breakdown there?
DeleteThis guy is a fantastic father! He is a good friend of mine. He would never put his child at harm. I would love to see you guys go to school full time. Work full time and be a full time parent. He has a great future ahead of him and has an amazing fiance. Maybe you guys should stop judging others so much. It's people like you that make this word we hard to live in
DeleteI know him too and he's an idiot! He doesn't do shit in school and let's others do his work for him while he skates through life. Its people like HIM that make the world hard to live in. Because others are responsible adults they are supposed to carry him through his education while he spends his time at these idiotic displays ? I am very pro gun but to see him be so blatently irresponsible is heart breaking.
DeleteYou are all ludicrous monsters and you should all really get your brains checked out. You don't know him at all, and the fact that you're going to sit here and bash someone online really says SO MUCH GOOD about your character. Way to be loving Christian. Go America.
ReplyDeleteI am the guy in the picture. Firstly, I would like to thank you for your opinion and concern for the well-being for my daughter. Second, I must set some facts straight. At no time in my daughter's 10 weeks* of life has she been around an automatic weapon. The only time I've ever been around an automatic weapon was at a military base. My rifle and the ones other people on the walk were carrying are semi-automatic, civilian versions of military rifles so I can see where your misunderstanding comes from. Second, there is no such thing as an assault weapon. A military rifle is an assault rifle but to be an assault rifle it must have select fire capabilities, which means it can be set on fully automatic or burst fire and semi-automatic, which I've already addressed. If this was a picture of me holding my daughter at a gay pride even with a rainbow flag wrapped around us would you be making such a hateful post? No, because that would be prejudiced. Just because I have different political views from you and am a heterosexual white man does not mean you can create stereotypes and show prejudice towards me. You are right, though. The second amendment doesn't cover my right to be a douchebag, that's the first amendment, the same amendment that covers your right to post a horribly inaccurate blog post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for paying us a visit.
DeleteYou're right, the first amendment does allow me to write this post, and it also allows you to leave a comment. (Actually I published it because I greatly respect freedom of speech.)
However I do not believe that the second amendment was written to allow people to walk around with semi-automatic weapons strapped to their backs. There is no way the Founding Fathers could have envisioned the world we live in today.
And by the way the difference between a gay man bringing an infant to a pro-rights gathering, and you bringing your daughter is that gay people don't go off by accident and kill innocent bystanders.
Just saying.
AIDS does you stupid faggit.
DeleteA gun doesn't go off by accident it goes off because someone chooses to pull the trigger. Thats like saying my car accidentally killed someone because I was drunk while driving.
DeleteGryphen for my rifle to have gone off "by accident" someone would have had to have chambered a round, turned the safety off, and pulled the trigger. That doesn't sound like an accident to me. The Founding Fathers also couldn't have envisioned the internet, radio, tv, or cell phones so if the second amendment only covers muskets the first amendment only covers letters and newspapers.
DeleteHey Gryphen - guns do not "accidentally go off". What happens is uneducated, poorly trained people that do not respect firearms behave stupidly and irresponsibly. This is avoided by raising awareness for gun safety, and that starts with people fully understanding their rights concerning firearms.
DeleteI say this as someone who once did not respect firearms, was irresponsible, and subsequently almost killed one of my best friends. No, the gun did not "go off by accident" - I was being reckless.
I learned my lesson the hard way, and got lucky that no one was hurt. Since then I have received formal training on firearm safety, handling, and operation, and have received my Concealed Carry Permit. I carry my firearm every day, without fail, and in the last two years since I got my permit, it has not "accidentally gone off" once.
Now that I've clearly stated my opinion on firearms and gun ownership, would I have done the same thing this man did? No. But not because of some irrational fear - rather because I personally don't feel that loud of a statement needed to be made. Yet even though I do not agree with what he did, I still recognize the validity of his reasons for doing it, and I support him in demonstrating his rights as an American.
Your view is remarkably close-minded and serves as a disservice to everyone with whom you claim affiliation. You make those you laud look very, very bad. You should be ashamed of yourself.
The subject of the picture had this to say on Reddit in response to this blog post:
ReplyDelete"There are many inaccuracies in your post, starting with saying that my daughter was surrounded by automatic weapons at the walk in in my home. There were no weapons on the walk and I definitely do not have any automatic weapons. They are semi-automatic, civilian versions of military assault rifles, so I could see where the misconception comes from. Secondly, you draw a lot of assumptions based off of one picture. If I looked at a picture of a parent with their child at a gay rights rally and talked about how you were teaching your child to be gay (which I do not at all believe) you would scream at me for being prejudiced and stereotyping people. It's funny, a lot of people find prejudice and stereotypes to be horrible except when they're used against heterosexual white men. You're also right, the second amendment does not cover my right to be a douchebag. That's the first amendment. Before you judge my parenting from one picture and spout about how horrible of a person I am, maybe you should study the constitution a little and get your basic facts about guns straight. It's hard having a rational conversation with someone who has ignored the facts so severely."
Hey, you know what would be really cool to do today? Let's take one picture completely outside the context of actually knowing a person in that picture, and let's judge that person based on our assumptions.
ReplyDeleteI actually know the young man in this picture. He's a great dad, and I know him to be very educated on the subject of firearms. He's also extremely open-minded and accepting of people whose ideas and lifestyles differ from his. That is, when they're not complete strangers bashing him in their blogs.
Thank you!

And yet all I see are bigotry, stereotypes, and hate coming from you and your readers. Stay classy, anti-gunners.
I think that he wants to protect his daughter if you buy a dog and you have a dog in your house they can attack your baby just as much as a gun that you're stupid enough to use in the house to go off but I personally know this man and he is not a child he does have full time job and he has his head on his shoulders are correct way and always puts his daughter and his fiance first rest assured the baby is safe and if anything happens to any of these people you guys would have to answer to me and a whole bunch of other people I'm just saying before you judge know the person that you're talking about because obviously you guys have nothing better to do than talk smack about somebody else...when this person and his fiance would give their shirts off their own back for a stranger that would need a more
ReplyDeleteKel C.
All you people calling this man a monster are monsters yourselves. Here's why: you take a peaceful photograph where a young man holding his beautiful baby and turn it into something you see as evil and inhumane. Fuck you for going after this very smart and intelligent young man. I also happen to know this young man, and he is anything but what you say of him. He works full time, and as soon as he gets off of work, he goes to school. He's taking 18 credit hours. He has taught me almost everything I know about guns and I have never had an accident shooting one of his guns. Why is this you might ask? Well that's because he makes sure I am doing everything the proper way and that I am in control of what I'm doing. Everyone of you going after him on a stupid fucking blog post has something seriously wrong with you. Seriously. You are hiding behind a keyboard, some of you in your parents basement, and your making a huge ordeal out of nothing. He went on this walk to educate, not harm. So before you go after someone who is trying to protect his family by doing what he sees is right and exercising his constitutional rights as he sees fit, please consider in your very closed-minded minds that the ones you plan on verbally attacking are human beings too. The fact that he has to defend himself online, is the reason why America is fucked up. It's because of you pussies and assholes who think everything you say is right, and you can't live alongside someone who is willing to stand up for the person next to you.

ReplyDeleteAll the anti gun folks here (including those who claim to be gun owners) who are advocating violence...priceless!
ReplyDeleteSo much tolerance in these comments. I love the not-so-subtle hopes of this man and his baby needing dying off or killing themselves......I had no idea we had so many Nazis left in this world.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys actually wish Ill harm and death on people who are not the same as you? Your parents must be so proud.
It is so easy to sit back, point a finger, and jump on the hatred bandwagon. You do not have to agree with the man, but you also do not need to spew hatred and death wishes - shame on you.
Personally, I don't understand why you must exert so much hatred. If a policeman was fully suited in his uniform with a gun strapped to his body and happened to be carrying his child, not a single word would be muttered from your ignorant mouths. I know this man and his beautiful fiance. They love their child more than anything in the world. They both work so hard (and attend school) to make sure that their baby girl will never need a single thing in her life. She will be proud of her daddy when she's older for taking the time and energy (and trust me, you don't know how diligently they work) to raise her to be a smart, educated young woman. She will be more knowledgeable than ANY of YOUR children. She will know how to properly defend herself if ever needed (heaven forbid). This will be "normal" to her and she will know exactly what to/what not to do when it comes to the guns that her daddy has. This man would harm no one - not even the scumbags that are posting on here. This man does not deserve any of these comments. I suggest you incompetent crawlers stop haunting his life by shoving your faces back into your own assholes and get a life. Reflect. And then come back and tell me how hard you work for the things you have. This is one of the luckiest baby girls I have ever seen. Her parents will never ever teach her to degrade others for having different beliefs. And that is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThis was a public walk. There were many others carrying weapons that day. Wouldn't it be safe to assume that there were other families around that day that weren't a part of the walk? Are you going to blast the city for allowing this event to take place? I think not.
Please reconsider your comments and I hope you all are someday able to have the hearts of this family that is being slandered, because they would never do the same to you.
That's not an automatic weapon. It's a $300 kel-tec that fires pistol ammunition. Add the $5 strap, the $10 walmart drop holster, and personally I'm more worried that the baby is growing up in poverty. Dad probably can't afford bullets.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a converted saiga.
DeleteI was there next to him. I own one degree in Mechanical Engineering, and am working the next in History. He was a nice young man and obviously an extremely caring father. I am 45, and have raised 4 boys in total, 2 of which are currently in college, and 1 on the way next year and another in 2 more years. We walk together with me armed all the time. My father was a CPD officer and had a gun behind my head at all times as we traveled throughout the city in the 70's and 80's because it was in the trunk at all times. Many of the best walks in my life were with Grandpa or Dad hunting or shooting guns. That was "how to survive" training on top of the sports and educational message I learned. By the time I was 6 I knew NEVER point a weapon at anyone period because I got to see and use a 12 gauge shotgun personally and felt the power behind it. You make some awfully silly generalizations. I grew up in a home with at least 10 loaded guns on any table or surface in our home. My Dad was a Police Officer and my whole family carried. Everyone I went to high school with back in the day showed up with shotguns at school on the first day of gun season for Deer. What has happened to make all of you so afraid of the guy carrying a firearm? You should fear that kid over on Vine Street who has it stuffed down his pants illegally and wants your wallet to boot. Stand and Deliver.
ReplyDelete3 references in the blog to automatic weapons. Yet automatics are virtually impossible for the common person to get their hands on.
ReplyDeleteFearmonger much?
You want the truth? You're an ignorant narcissistic social-justice warrior that wants to throw away all the liberties and freedoms that Great men and women, way greater than you or I, fought and died for just because someone has a different belief system than you. The USA is about coexisting with those different than yourself under the common goal of being the best version of yourself. If you disagree with someone else that's fine, is it your life goal to make sure they can't live their peaceful existence the way they want to live it? Why is that?
