  • I find it humorous (i must laugh or i shall go screaming insanely into the night) that these anti gun/freedom/left wing zealots all becry "gun violence" (even if said violence is in defense of ones self) and then glorify these stupid cinamatic ventures that glorify gangsters, death and gun violence. (irresponsible gun handling that 99% of us that have and use firearms would NEVER think of doing or know damn well could NEVER happen the way depicted) Am i the only one that gets that bit of insurmountable INSANITY?!?!
