    • and…. thats the point! if they didn’t kill then I could not effectively deter or stop an attack on myself or my family.

  1. “The only purpose of razors is shaving. And the only purpose of the razor industry is to sell them. Next time you think about shaving your uni-brow, think about that.”

    • The only purpose of Indians is to staff call centers, or be completely unintelligible physicians.

    • Dude! She’s pretty as hell! The only purpose of beautiful Liberal women is to attract horny young men over to the dark side. When the guys mature and get tired of her bat shit crazy ideology, they drop her like a hot shell casing. Then she is scorned and swears off men and joins the LGBT whack jobs.

      • There are some very attractive Indian models (and Bollywood types) – Padma Lakshmi still looks good at what, 45?

        Her? The nose alone kills it for me, let alone the poor eyebrow maintenance, indicative of other areas of neglectful personal grooming. To each his own.

        • “…indicative of other areas of neglectful personal grooming.”

          Now that’s rather insensitive of the woman’s… er, ‘culture’, so to speak.

          *cough*.

          Besides, you’re my vintage, the ‘clean shaved’ look didn’t really kick in until well into the 90’s.

          The smut we grew up on favored the… er, ‘natural look’, so to speak… 🙂

        • Geoff, I haven’t seen ‘grass on the field’ since the early ’80s.

          The HS girls were all getting ‘Brazilians’ by 1982, at the latest. At least in the world I was in.

      • Physically, she reasonably cute. Politically, there is ignorance and ugliness. Hard pass.

  2. We already know that.
    What’s to think about ?????
    That woman is probably a jihadist.

    • Oh she understands that! As do most progressive elite. They know that killing of certain people is either politically advantageous ( ie exploitable) or for the “greater good” (ie further their control of the peasantry) or both.

      When Iran slaughters the protesters of the Green Revolution, that’s good to the progressives. When Maduro’s henchmen kill starving citizens of Venezuela protesting the government’s failure, that’s good to the progressives. When a cop kills a minority perp in self defense, that’s good since the progressives can exploit it for racial division and agitation. When Omar Mateen kills 49 club goers in Orlando, that’s good to the progressives because they can exploit it to demonize law abiding citizens who think different from them and foment hatred against those political enemies.

  3. Your comments are noted and dismissed, looking forward to some good sales this weekend 😀 Didn’t they have a tea party up there a while back when the govnerment in power at that time was acting stupid? Guess that spirit has long since passed away.

  4. Clearly, we have a murderous government, murderous military, murderous police, murderous Dept. of Education, murderous EPA, murderous Dept. of Agriculture (and the list goes on…) — they’re all loaded with murderous guns!

  5. She is not afraid of people with guns. She is afraid of people with freewill different than her own.

        • I looked her up. A brief perusing will inform you that she is a product of the echo chamber and knows nothing else. She’s a prodigy of sorts, graduated Berkley at 18 with some sort of Physics bachelor’s – and is now at, wait for it – GW studying law so she can do politics! And writing a book!

          Just wait about 10 years and you’ll see this prog/trog moved through the political system at light speed, going from nobody to god forbid, President. They’ve proved the machine works, now they’ll be pumping out little statist tools at blinding speed.

        • The only reason to get a physics bachelors is to get physics PhD later, so that you can work as an actual physicist at a university or scientific research organization, not a pundit-in-training at a rag. I’m calling BS on her. She’s a typical rich, privileged Asian airhead with a fancy piece of cardboard that says “BS” on it. That LinkedIn profile strikes me as the kind of thing a ditzy high-schooler would write in their yearbook profile.

  6. Using that kind of second grade logic we can add in any one of a thousand different nouns. “The only purpos of hard liquor is to intoxicate drivers and the alcohol industry in responsible for all fatalities involving an intoxicated driver.”

    While on the surface the argument can be true if you squint your eyes and tilt your head just right. However, like much of the mush mouth soft logic that comes out of the left it completely ignores reality because reality is inconvenient.

    The firearms industry produces a product that people buy and people use both responsibly and otherwise and is no more responsibl for what someone does with that product then Jack Daniels.

  7. And I’ve been proudly keeping CZ in business for the last few years, although I might want to ask them about some refunds since none of my firearms has killed anyone yet.

    • To trigger the “kill someone” feature, the firearm must be in your hand when some assailant gives you no alternative. THen the gun will kill someone, but only if you help it by aiming it and willfully pulling the trigger.

      You didn’t read the fine print.

  8. A gun’s purpose is to preciesely fire a projectile, at a high velocity, in an intended direction.

    What you do with that ability is up to you.

  9. Crap. This means 90% of my guns are defective. Maybe it’s time I traded the defective ones off for better ones.
    Thankfully, there is a gun industry so I can do this.

      • Milsurp.

        I’m sure the 1902A3, Mauser 98K and others I own did bad things before I bought them.

        • A buddy of mine picked up a Mosin Nagant that was manufactured sometime during WW2. I exclaimed “That gun could have been used by Soviets to kill actual Nazis!”

          He replied with “It was more likely used by Soviets to kill other Soviets!”

      • Joe, the other 10% have put a lot of wild game in my freezers.
        As a side 100% of my fishing poles have killed.

    • This two way road needs to be called out for the crap it is. These gun contol proponents argue on the one hand that guns are too dangerous to be legal and are exceptional at killing, but some how in the hands of law abiding people they are just ineffective. Furthermore, they talk about all the training required to be accurate with them yet most of these criminals have no training or very little. How many gang bangers are showing up to ranges for practice or taking self defense classes.

      If they really want to get at the root of why some gun owners end up on the losing side of an encounter with a criminal they would focus on the element of suprise. We should make criminals wear bells, it would be far more effective than thier stupid gun laws.

  10. and the only purpose for a knife is for cutting my steak?….and the only purpose for a baseball bat is to play baseball???…and the only purpose for rocks are to beat my clothes down by the river???…and the only purpose for a car is to drive to the store???….and the only purpose for a propane tank is to light my BBQ grill???….and the only purpose for a hammer is to fix my home????

  11. Not far from her fair city of Boston there is a town called Concord, where colonists had amassed a large collection of guns, whose only purpose was killing.

    The young lady would do well to learn about that time in our history.

    For my part, I have decided that my next gun is going to be chambered in .308 because it’s better at killing than .223.

    • Splendid decision.

      When I had that tragic boating accident, only one of the lost items was chambered in .223, many more were chambered in .308.

    • “Not far from her fair city of Boston there is a town called Concord, where colonists had amassed a large collection of guns, whose only purpose was killing.”

      Not exactly. The purpose of guns at Concord was to demonstrate resolve that English subjects would use the force of arms to secure their rights. When British military refuse to recognize their rights, arms were employed in an eight year struggle to gain those rights.

      Today…our federal state and local governments want to remove the right to keep and bear arms. The question is what action will citizens take to maintain our rights.

      • I hope the subtle sarcasm in my message was not overlooked. The purpose of the guns in my home and on my person is to demonstrate resolve that this U.S. citizen will use the force of arms to secure his rights.

        Of course, if they weren’t capable of killing, they would be pretty ineffective for said purpose.

    • By this naive young lady’s “logic”, Americans should still be part of the British Empire and sending most of their taxes overseas to prop up said Empire. The gun industry would be stillborn, and any resistance to the edicts of the Queen Empress would be met with a hanging at the town square. There would be no big cities in America, the exploitation of resources would all be directed back to Britain, and there would be no capital infrastructure to support large commercial operations. Absentee landlords would control huge tracts of the American hinterland, which would end around the Mississippi, as there would be no incentive to explore out West. American peasants would still be in feudal servitude to their British landlords. In other words, no modern America. Freedom comes from the barrel of a gun, but little Miss Know It All has never known a second where she had to struggle for anything. Such prog farts are like midges, small and irritating but insignificant.

  12. The only purpose for the womb is bearing children. And the only purpose of Pro Choice is killing babies.
    Think about that the next time you fornicate and choose to kill the baby as a form of “birth control”.

    • Yep. I saw the pictures of the pro-choice women celebrating the ability to murder their own children with less restriction after the USSC decision.

      History will look back at this time as one of the most blood thirsty and savage of times as promulgated by the spawn of communism called liberal/progressivism.

      This death cult ideology, that celebrates the murder of babies as a”right” , will run it’s course, and those that honor all life, even that of the unborn , will be the ones to rebuild from the ashes of the conflagration created by this death worshiping belief system.

      It is simply the law of nature, no species can survive that looks at the raising of children as a burden to not only avoid, but to actually murder the off spring unwanted as a “right”.

  13. Ok thought about it, that ar-15 still looks awfully neat, and my reloading bench sure is lonely, and I’m going to straight up kill those paper targets, oh shit, I’m killing paper and pop cans, she’s right.

  14. Not really. I have guns that I will use to fight a corrupt, tyrannical government, and I have guns I will use to round up traitors after we win back our country. I also have guns I use for competitive shooting that have no other useful purpose. I also have guns I keep for their historical value that will never be shot. No, guns are not just for killing.

  15. Isvari Mohan, “I’m smarter than you, so it makes sense that I would replace your culture and ideas with my own.”

    • There is something particularly galling about immigrants, or children of immigrants, from craphole third world countries coming here, getting educated in American universities, and then lecturing us poor stupid Americans about whats wrong with our culture.

      Our American culture, guns and all, is objectively superior to theirs. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come here in the first place. So maybe instead of lecturing us on guns, this young lady should just say ‘Thank you, America’ for the opportunities this country gave her.

      Or she could STFU and GTFO. I’m fine with either one.

  16. A disarmed person that can’t immediately escape an active attacker scenario has limited options. Be an attacker or a victim.

    If disarmed, your choices are severely limited and survivability is very low if the attacker is armed. If you don’t choose to fight, you likely will die.

    Think about THAT.

  17. Want to know more?…

    Here is the “SUMMARY” from Berkeley educated, “Little Miss Princess Snowflake’s” LinkedIn page:

    Hi! I’m an author, columnist, singer, and Global Law Scholar at Georgetown. I’m an ex-physicist and a current nerd. I’ll probably run for office someday. I’ll definitely get more dogs.

    Instead of telling you more about me, I’m going to be less selfish and tell you fun facts about you:

    9 Fun Facts About You:

    1. You didn’t know that I know all the capitals of all the countries in the world (and where they are).
    2. You’re realizing that is a stupid fact and actually about me.
    4. You didn’t notice I skipped three.
    5. You’re checking now.
    6. You’re smiling.
    7. You’re still reading this even though it’s stupid.
    9. You didn’t realize I skipped eight.
    10. You’re checking again and smiling about how you fell for it again.
    11. You’re realizing this is the best LinkedIn summary ever.

    SMH

      • I’ve got $20 that she’ll be elected, or slotted into some bureaucratic job in the next 10 years as some sort of “expert”. This is the nonsensical narrative they like to sell.

        The machine already has her, and is grooming her to jam down our throats. Just like Obama, he’ll come from “nowhere”, but you know they aren’t doing anything but their masters’ bidding…

    • Can you imagine if she was in the medical profession?

      “Hmm, every person that dies stops breathing. That must mean the #1 cause of death is lack of oxygen!”

    • There is a lot wrong with this reporter. First of all, she is from Berkeley. You know, the number one school of indoctrination in the US where independent thought is a hate crime, individualism is a reason for expulsion, and the worship of the Communist Manifesto and the teachings of Mao Tse-Tung are required. (Mein Kampf is probably one source they are told to idealize, but I am sure Berkeley will not admit it…yet. Second, her writings are of a child who has no clue about life outside the liberal college campus and the big, liberal cities. Third, it only took me a few minutes to read her writings to know that she has a maturity level of a 13 year old. What a waste. You do not need a doctorate in history, be some sort of prophet, or be an intelligence officer at the NSA to understand that this world is becoming a very dangerous place at the same level that hasn’t been seen since WWII, perhaps even the Civil War; thus, listening to her immature, idealist, leftist dribble, I highly doubt this young lady is going to survive it.

  18. If she said that in a negligee, it might make more sense.

    Just kidding. It’d still be idiotic, but I’d just nod and smile while she said it.

  19. Does killing paper and steel count?

    Because if the point of the comment is to suggest firearms are made exclusively to assist in the act of murder of humans and that is their sole purpose, you need to get out more and experience this thing called reality.

    As per usual, the antis project their thoughts, fears, and hoplophobia on others like it is fact.

  20. That just goes to show us how limited is the author in imagination. Hopefully she’ll realize someday soon that self-defense is a human right,and that a firearm would be her only realistic chance against an aggressor twice her weight.

  21. Yeah? The purpose of a fire extinguisher is to put out fires, yet you don’t see fire extinguisher owners running all over America putting out fires do ya? Firearms are a tool of last resort, a “just in case” backup plan. Please stop turning you brain off when you hear the word, “gun”.

    • I now have a vision in my head of someone running the biathlon with a red fire extinguisher strapped to their back. 🙂

      • Heheheh. Imagine knife owners running all over the place, cutting bread at stores, chocolate in candy shops, carrots, ropes, shoelaces, etc just people with knives in their hands, (not a good idea, at least as bad as running with scissors), men and women who own chisels and hand saws, power tools and plungers just wildly running from place to place, house to house fixing plumbing, wood carving and making furniture out of strangers trees, this is of course sillyness. Just because you own something does not implicate you for the improper use of that item, and yet we are barraged hour on hour in the media about guns, especially just after a “mass shooting”, (sounds like gunfire in a church). There is so much fear of these inanimate objects that it boggles the mind, people who don’t like guns treat these machines like they are radioactive and the whole thing would make me laugh if it wasn’t so infuriating.

  22. Once again we see the ill effects of open borders. Miss Mohan clearly belongs on the Indian Sub-Continent, not in the United States. All immigration is harmful to the traditional rights given to Americans by the Founding Fathers. Other cultures do not respect those rights and traditions.

  23. “The only purpose of guns is killing. And the only purpose of the gun industry is to sell them. Next time you think about buying a gun, think about that.”

    Bam! Simple as that! The best part is, I didn’t even have to do any thinking! She did it for me! How convenient! Thinking is hard! I simply do not have time for it, and this helpful young lady carried that burden for me. On top of that, her comment really appealed to my sense of righteousness, and feeling righteous is important! Today is a good day.

    Seriously though, I’d totally bang her. By that, I mean I’d take her to the range and train her in the safe and responsible use of firearms. And by firearms, I mean my junk.

  24. She says that, yet tens of millions of people own firearms and have never injured anyone, let alone killed someone. According to her, all of these people support a multi-billion dollar industry pushing a product with an unrealized purpose.

    That makes no sense, because there are other purposes for firearms. Even purposes tied to inflicting injury are still separate purposes. A household self-defense firearm may not be used to injurr anyone, but it still serves the purposes of protecting and preparing a family for potential danger.

  25. I love when children whose life experiences consist of nothing more than attending a liberal college feel qualified to tell me how to live my life. Laughable. My dog has more common sense than this Snowflake.

  26. She meant for that to be way more powerful and enlightening than it actually was…

  27. Killing people is the only purpose ??? Not really but: let’s say it was: Why is self defense not a good enough reason in and of itself ??? Why shouldn’t lawful people be able to meet violence with violence? Why would anyone even contemplate the idea of whether or not they would like to just have the option of protecting their life and their family from deadly force with deadly force?

    And by the way, we need to tell almost all gun owners, hunters, Olympic Athletes, Civilian Marksmanship Program, Boys Scouts, professional hunters that they are doing it wrong, they are overwhelmingly not using guns for their only purpose.

  28. Honey, by that logic the only purpose of your girl parts is to produce one or more children every 12 months or so.

  29. ..and yet Abortion, which is ALSO designed to kill(and ONLY to kill innocents), continues on, unregulated and unabated.

  30. Just so everyone is clear….. I live in WESTERN Massachusetts, we have nothing to do with this BS narrative. Boston is primarily Liberals who have never touched a gun but are experts on why they should be banned. There are a few gun advocates in the Eastern section of Mass, one of our best selling gun stores is right outside the city limits”four seasons Firearms” **shout out**?.
    As you progress westward from the city you hit Central MA and the Worcester area which is probably 2/3rds pro gun.
    Now most Bostonians think that the state ends were Worcester county ends, it’s kinds true, We Westerners in Massachusetts truly are still Constitutionalists, we believe in the freedoms protected by the Constitution. Yes we have the 5 college area, Northampton UMass Smith college etc. Which is very liberal BUT the old type of liberals, not the modern closed minded type. The majority of people in western Massachusetts live in rural areas, brought up shooting and enjoying outdoor activities. Trump actually won the primary in Massachusetts by a longshot! Going into a coffee shop in my area people talk frank about politics. We know the system is corrupt, We know the left is trying to change America into something we don’t believe in. We know that if Hillary and her crew get into office there may be no going back off the leftist Cliff their climbing.
    So when you read or watch all this leftist progressive Propaganda coming from Boston, just remember that Boston does NOT represent Massachusetts. Many here living under the former governor Welds forever Assault Weapons ban are still fighting the good fight!
    God bless America

  31. By that logic, all of my guns must be Democrats: Lazy as hell, on perpetual welfare and good for nothing.

    Thanks for the analogy, Boston Globe! ?

  32. I glad guns do kill because large tasty game animals are not just uber mega extremely difficult to try and capture alive but I probably would be willing to fork over my whole paycheck to learn how you survive tying a rope around a live rutting bucks hind legs and hang him upside down from a tree then skin him alive!

  33. “…The only purpose of guns is killing. ”

    Really? Because there are three hundred million or more guns in this country and only a hundred or so killed anyone yesterday. If that all guns are for then they are the worst product of all-time ever! That is a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of an even tinier fraction of a tiny fraction of one percent for a products ‘success rate.’

    I think the only product with a smaller ‘success rate’ would be politicians.

  34. She is right on this one, though. A gun incapable of taking life is effectively useless.

    (unless it is one of those preciousss ISSF tools, yeah)

  35. If the only purpose of guns is killing, then the only purpose for her vagina is fvkcing.

    Wait. I think I’m onto something here. So to speak.

  36. “The only purpose of mouse traps is killing. And the only purpose of the mouse trap industry is to sell them. Next time you think about buying a mouse trap, think about that.”

    • I think it’s cruel to kill mice. I usually capture them and put them on a bus for Boston, where they end up writing for the Globe.

  37. My advice for anyone thinking about buying/renewing a subscription to the Boston Globe, Don’t do it. There are better ways to line the bottom of your parrot’s cage.

  38. “The only purpose of guns is killing…”.
    You know, after all the money and time I’ve spent on guns, ammo, holsters, bi-pods, slings, reloading equipment etc., plus the many hours training those same guns, I’m kinda pissed not a SINGLE ONE of them has managed to fulfill their purpose. Evidently, their ONLY purpose!
    What am I doing wrong?

  39. I was born and raised in Boston. I wish I could say that this Globe writers view was unique but it’s not. The city of Boston is basically an intellectual suburb of NYC

  40. Being a defenseless victim is a conscious choice, folks.

    As long as there is a 2nd amendment, you do not have to be defenseless.

    What more is there? Those that choose to be defenseless have no right to complain if criminals and/or terrorists capitalize on that fact.

    There is NO excuse for ignorance of criminals and terrorists today. Everyone can name at least a half dozen terror attacks that have occurred since 9/11. There is only denial and refusal to take responsibility for your safety of yourself and your loved ones.

    Period.

    YOU are responsible for your own well being and security. Not the govt, police and military. That is the illusion. If you are too lazy to recognize this fact or want to delude yourself into thinking it’ll never happen to you, that is on you.

    The rest of the responsible populace and our rights are not up for debate or in question because you refuse to be a mature adult and grow the eff up.

  41. I thought about that… and thought, I’m glad the gun industry is selling guns, so I can buy one to protect myself from someone who intends to use one for killing! 🙂

  42. Gee, I wouldn’t have thought about that. Thank goodness she wrote that. Now I feel happier. I totally recommend her suggestion to all the libtards and suggest that they NEVER ever touch a gun. That will insure that they are eventually killed off by criminals, illegal aliens, Islamists or God forbid, during the revolution. Then the gene pool will be cleaned.

  43. “The only purpose of the Boston Globe is to kill trees and line bird cages. And the only purpose of the media is to sell them. Next time you think about buying a copy of the Globe, think about that.”
