Thanks, Nate Bell, for reminding us why it's good not to live in Arkansas

Nate Bell is some Arkansas state representative who managed to figure out how peck at his keyboard long enough to produce this tweet this morning:
I wonder how many Boston liberals spent the night cowering in their homes wishing they had an AR-15 with a hi-capacity magazine? #2A
Bell updated his bleating with a Facebook post in which he apologizes, not for being a dumb fuck, but for the timing of what he said.

Even then, not sure what every american needs a semi-auto rifle with a high capacity mag for.
I'll take living in one of the most educated states vs most uneducated, thanks very much.
As the NRA
(nachos, rifles, alcohol) loves to (inaccurately) remind us:
Because it's our RIGHT under the Constitution. The fact that there has never been any good purpose to allow Joe the Plumber to have access to high powered weapons and 8 gazillion bullet magazines is totally lost on them.
Make this comment to any die-hard gun proponent (sadly, I know a few): "OK, you have that right under the Constitution. Now give me a legitimate reason." You'll usually get a blank stare.

Uhh...no one
Because an untrained person going after a nutter with an IED tied to his chest won't end well for anyone. One cop died and the other is in the hospital, and they were trained and drilled!
People wildly overestimate their ability to stay calm and act appropriately in emergencies.

1. Get lots of guns.
...
3. End terrorism.
Go (bleep) yourself, Nate Bell
The people of Boston do not cower in our homes.
Nothing like a fire fight
To make gun nuts crow about why you need assault weapons. Of course it means the bad guys would have them too. Convenient how they seem to forget about that...
Don't know how many Bostonians wish they were armed, but...
...I bet there's a whole lot of baseball-cap-wearing young men in the area who are very grateful that the average citizen does NOT have the power to shoot first and ask questions later.
As a mom of a look-alike
I can't agree more.
In our state, we don't "need" such things anyway because we actually fund our emergency services AND we live close enough together that we can tell if someone is trying to bust in to our neighbor's house and call for the pros to help.
One of posts that just
One of posts that just torqued my ass. He is one of those guys who would pee all over himself if one shot was fired near him.
NATE BELLS CELL PHONE
Nate Bell is just a lonely piece of cud. Call the big boy up and let him know how many of y'all care.

We have ignorant politicians too
That doesn't mean it's good not to live in Massachusetts. Don't insult a whole state because of what one person says.
Arkansan
Thank you for saying this. I am a native Arkansan still living in Arkansas. It is difficult to be a democrat living here but I love my home. I do not share any of Nate Bell's attitudes or ideas and I do not appreciate being lumped with his kind.
Right on.
Right on.
