    This is all you need to read to know about the author.

    I still have that itch, and I still feel a little guilty about it. I haven’t acted upon it, partially because I haven’t figured out how to purchase a gun and learn how to use it without giving money to the National Rifle Association and partially because I know that individual self-defense is largely a myth.

    Oh how silly, the NRA doesn't get a commission on every gun sale. The commission goes to the salesman of the year. May I present the top salesman for eight years running:

    Yep, I couldn't make it past the first three paragraphs.

    As a senior in high school when the Parkland shooting happened, I was one of the leading members of my high school’s March for Our Lives walkout and trip to Washington, D.C., for the rally. I strongly support common sense gun control legislation and am at least a little scared of guns.

    After armed white supremacists started marching with their guns out more and more, the desire to own a gun wouldn’t leave my head, no matter how unthinkable and heretical that desire felt based on the convictions I had developed as I finished high school.

    I still have that itch, and I still feel a little guilty about it. I haven’t acted upon it, partially because I haven’t figured out how to purchase a gun and learn how to use it without giving money to the National Rifle Association and partially because I know that individual self-defense is largely a myth.

    Pure claptrap.

    Shouldn’t that be for “Eleven Years, Four Months”??
    Wouldn’t want to be racist and short-change him.

    So, in summary people wanting to own firearms to protect themselves from the consequences of liberal polices are bad... unless they are themselves liberal then it is ok but really scary. Yep, nothing hypocritical there at all.

    In deference to the author's delicate sensibilities, might I suggest that before purchasing a gun she first try to empathize with those that might wish her harm. If that doesn't work there's always rape whistles and the last ditch deterrent of peeing on herself. This is good chance for a gun control advocate to live the advice of other gun control zealots.

    Probably the author thought long and hard on this:

    "I want to buy a gun because the world is ****ed right now, but having taken up the anti-gun zealot side, what rationale can I pull out of my ass so that I don't sound like a hypocrite? Ooh. I know..."

    ...writes article saying guns bad, self defense doesn't work, cite debunked articles, assert a larger threat from right wing extremist groups than actually exists, but, claim it's okay when it's "collective self defense". Praises Black Panther Party and contemporary gun toting far left activists.

    Pats zherself on the back: "Nailed it." Posts photo with halo superimposed over her head on snapchat.

    ETA: forgot about snapchat

    It's impossible to read the IDS without becoming less intelligent as a result.

    I have to disagree with your comment. After reading the article I have become more intelligent because I now realize I am smarter than 1 more person than I thought I was!

    Read the very last line . . . "Better Vienna than Berlin". She shows her true colors with it as a rabid Marxist (along with the Redneck Revolt and other organizations cited). It was the battle cry of the Spanish Marxists that began the Spanish Civil War.

    It's a reference to the left-wing Socialist uprising in Austria against Chancellor (aka Prime Minister) Engelbert Dolfuss and his quasi-Fascist government in 1934 (there were differences between his rhetoric and Mussolini's). He quickly crushed the uprising. Dolfuss was more like Mussolini at that point than Hitler. He was assassinated by Nazi agents in 1934 after he banned the Nazi party in his effort to maintain a separate Austria and prevent its annexation (Anschluss) with Germany. That nearly sparked a war between Italy and Germany as Mussolini mobilized his army on the Austrian border to prevent Austria from being annexed to Germany. His successor, Schuschnigg, maintained the government until he failed to prevent the Anschluss in 1938 when he was arrested and interned in concentration camps.

    Only those who know details about the Spanish Civil War during the mid-1930's would trigger on that line.

    They've grown up reading/watching too many stories where the doughty band of misfits triumphs against all odds in their quest. Somebody needs to provide a therapeutic megadose of reality and crush their dreams. Mr Trump, pick up the red phone please
