The Perdue Victim

Posted on the 22 January 2014 by Mikeb302000
This is Andrew Boldt who was a senior in electrical engineering at Perdue University. Andrew was from West Bend, WI and graduated from Marquette High School.
Hardly a gang banger or other person that you lot deem worthy of death, yet he was one of the many thousands killed or wounded by firearms in the United States.
Remember that even "shefearsnothing" was killed by her husband using a gun.  Not to mention the judge who restored her concealed-weapon permit last year questioned her judgment and said she had "scared the devil" out of other parents at the soccer field.
The Perdue Victim
The ultimate upshot is that the more people who die or are effected from senseless gun violence, the more it hurts your position.  It can happen to you whether you own a gun or not.  In fact, having a gun makes it far more likely it will happen to you.
Unless they are idiots like you, but the good news is that you are more likely to die from your own weapon than use it on someone else.
In other words, you are a dying breed.
I should also add that this is not "dancing on the graves of the victims"--it's putting a face to the numbers and statistics.  Another thing you lot don't like as it is easier to blow this off if you believe all the people who are victimised by this plague are "criminals or gang bangers" rather than a nice guy or one of your own.
It pisses you off when you realize that you are wrong and you have to lash out at everything else besides your bullshit, antisocial beliefs.
