Just think, if Scalise had his way, Griner’s wife would not have been able to immediately visit her in the hospital or inherit her estate if things had turned out even worse.

People like Scalise already have a mental gymnastics routine ready for situations like this: They’ll just label her as “one of the good ones” and never give it another thought.

whatever. She still won the popular slope.

Media: There can’t possibly be a worse, more feckless representative to the world than Donald Trump.

Rodman: Hold my beer...Actually, give that back. Multitasking.

I’d like to think a photo op with Trump and an NBA player would play out like this.

I for one will be disappointed if Golden State chooses not to go to Washington. Opportunities like this come along once in a lifetime, if that. I think the Warriors, provided they receive an invitation, had better think long and hard about how to respond. It is a personal meeting with the Goddamn President of the…

I reject your characterization. I see a gun, and it makes me nervous. I live on the south side of Chicago where people get maimed and murdered all the time by people with guns. The idea that one of those bullets could possibly find me is not irrational in the least.

Dude, is it really surprising to you that people see that kind of hardware, and shit their pants? Gun culture in this country is totally fucking insane.

I know I’m in a very small minority, but I’m really tired of the calls for what accounts to a form of mob justice in cases like this. If people like this aren’t being held accountable through the justice system, then that’s a huge problem that should be addressed in the justice system. I don’t believe that any…

I had a very similar reaction. And if you read the story in the Oregonian, it explains that recidivism among juvenile sex offenders is actually very low following treatment (maybe that’s common knowledge among educated people, but I always understood the opposite to be true in cases of pedophilia). 

I grew up in West Texas in the 1960s and 1970s. My entire family is nra-approved. Last time I fired a gun twenty years ago, I was a really good shot. But, I never will understand what it is about guns that gets gun folks off. And that is what it is — I’ve lived among them all my life and I’m still amazed at the primal…

LOL. The fabulous talking point of idiotic gun nuts. How many people die from gunfire in the U.K.? In Australia? Since we can’t do anything about the existence of people, might help to do something about the guns. And part of that might be having a healthy amount of fear for their real power and danger, and not make…

Holy shit this is a stupid take. The only time I should be afraid of a gun is if it’s directly pointed at me? Sorry, that is idiotic.

We can’t all be super bad asses like you.

Tell that to the parents of the classroom full of kids who were shot to death at Sandy Hook. Or the countless other mass murders perpetrated by American gun owners that happen on a regular basis here but not in other countries since they have rational gun laws and less gun nuts.

When a person is carrying loaded lethal weapons they don’t get the benefit of the doubt that they’re not dangerous. They are dangerous and it’s outrageous that we have to even debate that.

You’re right. The problem with people terrified by a bunch of lethal weapons is they just aren’t enlightened enough.

I find it terrifying that you find this to be normal and millions of people possess all of this.

Fact is, he had all this shit in his car, so comparing it to people who have it locked up in their homes is a false equivalency. Also, I still doubt your ‘millions.’

You know what? Yes, I think most normal people are terrified by three handguns (there are three in the picture, not two), a semi-automatic rifle and hundreds (I counted almost 250 not counting the ones in the ziplocs) bullets. That’s pretty unusual for most people, especially in New York where the gun laws are more…
