The Remedy

Full disclosure: I know how to shoot a firearm. Many years ago, I learned how to put together a handgun and how to take it apart. I learned that the teacup grip looks good in movies but it's not efficient when you're shooting. Also, never cross your thumbs behind the slide. I learned that the hard way.

I learned to shoot because at that time I lived with someone who had a gun in the house, so knowing how to work with a pistol was necessary. He was a tall libertarian with a big dick and a controlling streak who left me for a twentysomething two years into the relationship. Oh, he came back afterwards but it was too late. I didn't want his slightly abusive ass or his excuses. I paid dearly for saying no, but no dick is worth your self-esteem, trust me on that one. He taught me many things about myself and about people and he also took me to a range and introduced me to the Pink Pistols. I learned a lot about guns and about the Second Amendment with them. And the Second Amendment is not all it's cracked to be by the gun lobby.

But I'm not gonna give you a primer on that here. Mr. Cooke can do a much better job if you've got a few extra minutes. And he's easier to look at than I will ever be. So have you got seventeen minutes? Go ahead, you'll get your time's worth. Unfortunately, by the time you finish the video, somebody will have bought another unnecessarily dangerous automatic weapon thanks to the NRA and its lies. But you'll learn one of ten things about why is it that America is so addicted to firearms.

This is the real story - not the one made up by white terror gangs. It's the opposite of everything you've ever been told, and it's the key to understanding all of American history. They don't teach this to our children which cripples our ability to create a healthy society as adults. The 2nd amendment remedy is knowing what it is.

P.S. of course there's a response to Cooke's video from one ammosexual. The quotes he brings are flimsy, at best. I'm not a historian, or an expert in Law, and even I can see the fallacies he tries to use. But you know, they do love the uneducated.
