Northwest Has hell frozen over? Salt Lake City mainstream news outlet posts a 180 in their view of the second amendment.

The dissonance is strong with this one...

I read the article... it deteriorates toward the end saying (paraphrasing) "2A people expected a tyrannical government under a Democrat president, but we should have military guns because Orange Man Bad"!


More phucking BS from another mentally unstable twit with the internal fortitude of a newborn sea turtle.

Well, when one steps back to see that 45 has made blatant and clear statements directly at odds with A1,2 and 4, I can see her point.

 

[Stomper]

Obviously her point is that of someone who hasn't had her sheite stolen and property destroyed.

EDIT! - I accidentally posted this without knowing!

I find it interesting how so many are 'rolling over' and thinking these first time 'panic' gun buyers Are automatically inductees into the causes and concepts of the 2A.

Also a 'panic purchase' is not an indication the owner is going to to enter into 'shooting sports' . Maybe a few will but If they had any interest in it they would probably already be involved. A panic purchase does nothing more than create a false sense of security for the owner who would would most likely lose their gun during a traumatic situation.

I am remaining cautiously skeptical but I believe a large number of these first time buyers will never shoot these guns - if even any training shots are fired and will most likely end up being sold or unknowingly (and possibly illegally) given away some time later.

No, the cooking time for perfect white rice matters.

I have white rice in white food grade buckets since it keeps for years. Unlike brown rice which goes bad. I eat brown rice since it is healthier for me.

If you buy it at the store its ok cuz it comes from magical meat pooping fairies.

You are expecting to much. Like riding a motorcycle in traffic. You have to have the mentality no one sees you. You are invisible therefore you do what you have to for survival.

These slow to grasp reality people, can't be allowed to hold back your program. You don't need to panic when you have enough to meet your needs.

To anyone reading this woman's editorial letter, it should be readily apparent the she has not changed her mind one iota regarding the Second Amendment.
The letter is one small step shy of sarcasm, and she still views gun owners with repugnant indignation.
And just look at the majority of the comments! What a bunch of Leftist sheep. Totally and completely disgusting...

To answer the OP's question, an emphatic "NO!" is in order...

At best, it is an admission that maybe guns would be useful for her, just not anybody else, especially "deplorables".

I had a boss who used to say "I don't mind owning guns, I just don't think anybody else should own them". Being that he was often sarcastic, it was hard to know how much that reflected his sentiments, but I think to some degree at least, it was how he thought. This is the hypocrisy of the left.

This is basically my take on the article. I Interpret selfishness from this person, and an attitude of 'shifting' her position to meet her needs while maintaining leftist ideals. In effect she has no convictions.

I see nothing in the article that suggests she is supporting the 2A and her last sentence speaks volumes:

I'm just curious. I might believe anything now.

So believe anything? Like if someone comes up with something that sounds better, like different or alternative gun control ideas that sound good to her?

Beliefs and knowledge are two different things.

When someone says they believe something, it usually means they have not arrived at that conclusion based on knowledge and/or thought, but rather based on emotion. Emotions come from the primitive portion of our brains, serve us well when instinctual behavior is necessary, and may be good for defining objectives, but it is rational thought that shows us how to achieve those goals.

We actually know very little, and I try to use the term sparingly, but I do use the phrase "I think" instead of "I believe" and I use the latter when my belief is stronger than my thought and/or knowledge on a subject. For some things, such as principles, I may use both.

That's racist

No, that's Ricist

In some cases yes, people may choose to believe something purely on emotion however there are those when they say they 'believe something' only have arrived at that conclusion because of physical evidence, irrefutable facts and/or material involvement with whatever they now believe in - and emotions had nothing to do with it.

 

[Defense Minister]

I think many of you are missing the point of the article. It's another call for the Left to start embracing ownership of modern sporting rifles in case they need to SHOOT PEOPLE LIKE US! Have you heard of the Socialist Rifle Association???

"Us" meaning those with a more typical, conservative view of politics and gun ownership.

 

[Layton]

To me the article points to a well known quote: "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely ".
The current situation our country is in is a prime example of what can happen. One must always be prepared regardless of whether a left or right leaning political faction is in control.

Emotions are always involved to some degree.

Like I said, we don't actually "know" as much as we think we do. E.G., 2+2=4, but when we talk about politics and other things, we have a mixture of what we know and what we believe. I try to keep that in mind when I say things like "I believe", "I think" and "I know" - I try to use the last sparingly.

"Us" is who "they" fear - to some degree.

But I think at this point mostly the left fears Trump.
