Pete Buttigieg: “Having A Gun Made Me Feel Smaller, Not Bigger”
BY Herschel Smith

“Over time, I realized having a gun made me feel smaller, not bigger,” he said during a conversation about guns with a BuzzFeed reporter as part of his bus tour in Iowa.
The mayor was asked about his feelings on guns as a veteran who served in Afghanistan in the Navy Reserves but apparently did not engage in combat.
Okay. So we have to talk about feelings, do we?
Then here’s mine. I have the same attitude for him as I do for all of the other progressives who participated in OIF or OEF. They all wanted to lawyer the campaigns to death while playing social justice warrior with a gun. I detest them all, and there are many lives broken and lost and many limbs lost, many eyes lost, many brains that can’t function right from TBI. They should feel responsible for each and every one of them.
I have wept over veterans who have no legs because of that damned war. The social warriors should feel as responsible as should Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz. They are detestable, every one. I loath them all.
And I notice that Mayor Pete apparently didn’t feel so ashamed that he refuses to allow that ridiculous picture of him to be displayed holding an M4 as if he’s something special. Hey, Pete. Go get a combat action ribbon like my son did and then maybe I’ll debate you. Until then, I’ll just keep believing that you are the product of a set of hippie, Marxist parents who wanted some military creds for your future in politics so you could use that to get elected and tear down America like you tore down your own sense of morality and decency.
I think you’re a sniveling, snarky smartass – a poor excuse for a man.

Having a gun made him feel smaller. I bet they focused grouped that line for a while. It may be wrong to hate but I hate all of these people.
Herschel. Please thank your son for his service. Glad he made it home OK.

Funny how lefty politicians never play the “well, he never served” card against their own…like say, Obummer.

@George,
We are to love our enemies says, Jesus Christ. This guy, by his desire to leave you and your family defenseless against him as the State, is an enemy of God, he has declared his hatred toward God by his need to destroy God’s order and commandments.
Matthew 5:43-44
Ecclesiastes 3:8
Psalm 139:21-22
But I get it, walking around with hatred in your heart can tear a man up and strategically cause him to make mistakes, but It’s ok to hate some and hold that aside not as an emotional feeling but to know with quiet resolve, because the day of the other part of Ecclesiastes 3:8 will come again in its season.
The love hippy flower child god is a false god because it is a lie, and we all know who is the liar. How does God love sometimes, like a father who sometimes, after much patience, takes his belt off and later takes his sons to a public hanging or stoning to observe with their own eyes what godlessness will wrought. Bring back public hangings! Prisons are stupid, and a racket.

I am not really interested in discussions of the merits of masculinity with a guy that gets sodomized by another guy. I’m just funny that way.

Oh great. Policy based on little Pete’s feelings.

Maybe if we give Pete four or five more guns, he’ll be small enough that we won’t be able to hear him whining anymore.

“A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.”
Attributed to Sigmund Freud…..who would have had a field day with the SJW pussys of today.

When is mayor Pete going to disarm his police of dangerous assault rifles? Crickets. I think TCJ mentioned this quite a while ago: These controllers love guns, just not in citizens hands
@Arthur – well said, filed under “Things you’ll never see in the mainstream media.”
