    Because clearly, in order for a bullet to do any damage, it is first absolutely necessary that the gun be aimed at a specific target. If one simply fires one’s gun into empty space, there is of course no chance whatsoever that the bullet will impact anything that could be harmed when its trajectory ends.

    It looks like that person in the photo has never, before now, held a long gun.
    Just the sort of person who should be allowed to open-carry.

    Firing guns into the air? Wow, I know of no despised population that engages in similar celebratory behaviour. You’re so unique, Republicans.

    Oh, I mean the American Civil Rights era, but I suppose many moments in Western Civilization can be celebrated that way.

    Compare this with 2008, where the same sordid individuals (*) intimated or openly talked about shooting Obama. Unsurprisingly, you would be hard pressed to find a single anti-Trump voice advocating violence since the results were announced.

    During Trump’s acceptance speech, some man kept yelling out, very loudly, “kill Obama!”
