The Immoral Minority's roundup of crazy, sad, and frightening stories of guns and gun violence around the country.

Welcome all you rational people to the world of irrational fear that permeates the "gun culture."

First up we have the case in Texas of the Open Carry dipshits approaching schoolchildren and attempting to convince them that carrying around assault weapons helps to fight Jim Crow laws:

Open Carry Texas posted this disturbing image which shows their fully armed members talking with school children. I’m not certain if their weapons were loaded with freedom bullets or not. They proudly declared in their post, “Dallas County speaks to kids at Coppell City Hall this weekend who mentioned they were studying Jim Crow laws in school.” 

We all know how that subject comes up when kids run into heavily armed groups consisting of mostly men. These are the same armed people Target allowed to protest on their premises. 

They continue to say, “We explained that gun control is a major component of the Jim Crow era to keep guns out of the hands of minorities and that Open Carry Texas is working to repeal these laws.” They concluded, “We also discussed gun safety.”

Yes it was lack of access to firearms that kept African Americans from receiving the same educational opportunities as white people, and from passing the unfair literacy tests they were subjected to before being allowed to vote, and it is what kept them from being allowed to eat in the same restaurants as their Caucasian neighbors.

Just imagine how much differently things would have turned out if the black man had taken up arms against their white oppressors, and shot their way into restaurants, voting booths, and better schools.

Idiots!

Not to be outdone an Open Carry advocate in Michigan decided to bring his metal penis extender to a local library's summer reading party: 

"I'd rather have my gun and not need it, versus needing it and not having it," said Warren, a 31-year-old resident of Kalamazoo Township's Eastwood neighborhood who runs his own lawn-care business. "I'd rather be prepared. "

"Whether it's the gas station or the library, I can live with the fact that I'd be forced to take another man's life if he attacked my family," Warren said. "I couldn't live with not doing anything."

Translation: "I'm really hoping to kill somebody someday."

In eastern Pennsylvania a guy was a little TOO prepared and ended up falling asleep watching gun videos on You Tube and discharging his weapon accidentally: 

Greg Winnick, of Wind Gap, said he had been watching YouTube videos about a new trigger for his AR-15 after installing one on his gun when he apparently dozed off at the computer with the gun cradled in his lap, reported The Express-Times. 

The 37-year-old, who said he had been awake since midnight Sunday, told state police he had not realized the weapon was loaded.

Your gun going off in your sleep, who hasn't been there?

But what happens when your metal penis becomes jealous of your natural equipment?

A man in Macon, Georgia accidentally shot himself in the penis while attempting to holster his gun last week.

Talk about ironic.

You know they must have little bullet proof sheaths to prevent this kind of thing, right? Or maybe you could just arm your dick so that it can fire back.

On a serious note the facts are that despite NRA arguments to the contrary the evidence shows that guns to NOT keep our families safe:  

The overwhelming empirical evidence indicates that the presence of a gun makes children less safe; that programs such as Eddie Eagle are insufficient; and that measures the NRA and extreme gun advocates vehemently oppose, such as gun safes and smart guns, could dramatically reduce the death toll. Study after study unequivocally demonstrates that the prevalence of firearms directly increases the risk of youth homicide, suicide, and unintentional death. This effect is consistent across the United States and throughout the world. As a country, we should be judged by how well we protect our children. By any measure, we are failing horribly. 

The United States accounts for nearly 75 percent of all children murdered in the developed world. Children between the ages of 5 and 14 in the United States are 17 times more likely to be murdered by firearms than children in other industrialized nations. 

Children from states where firearms are prevalent suffer from significantly higher rates of homicide, even after accounting for poverty, education, and urbanization. A study focusing on youth in North Carolina found that most of these deaths were caused by legally purchased handguns. A recent meta-analysis revealed that easy access to firearms doubled the risk of homicide and tripled the risk for suicide among all household members. Family violence is also much more likely to be lethal in homes where a firearm is present, placing children especially in danger. Murder-suicides are another major risk to children and are most likely to be committed with a gun. 

These gun toting pieces of shit can talk about the importance of their 2nd Amendment rights, and their desire to keep their families safe from violence, but the facts are that THEY are "bad guys with the gun" that the NRA keeps warning us about and that to be safe we need to keep weapons out of the hands of those who fantasize cutting down law breakers during their lunch break.

More guns, means more bullets, means more deaths. It is as simple as that.

Other countries have done the math and it is high time we do the same.
