I can't believe some of this (Anti t-shirts)

[BryanP]

That's correct. So where's their "guns don't kill people, people do" shirt?

Absolutely. Weapons in and of themselves neither help nor harm anyone.

the connection

Pro-gun folk have so thoroughly adopted Niemöller's observations that we sometimes forget to reread it. He wasn't talking about a Warsaw Ghetto-type resistance of one "type" of people, nearly unaided. He was talking about the solidarity of regular folks with each other, despite visible differences, against the depredations of government tyranny. The Warsaw Ghetto resistance was heroic but it was doomed from the start. If Germans hadn't been so divisible by all those categories, the NSDP would never have grown to viability, much less tyranny.

Guns are important but solidarity is more so, IMO.

(I liked the Columbus and Thinker shirts, too. I find the "guns don't protect" one to be insufficiently well thought out. It's true as far as it goes [same solidarity thesis] but in seeking to de-fetishize guns as protective, it leaves unexamined the guns as dangerous fetish. Stupid.)

If guns don't protect people what do you suppose people use to protect other people with?

 

[PromptCritical]

First they came for all the machine guns,
But I didn't speak up
Because I have no use for machine guns.

Then they came for all the "assault weapons,"
But I didn't speak up,
Because I have no use for assault weapons.

Then they came for all the non-sporting firearms,
But I didn't speak up,
Because I only use guns for hunting.

Then they came for my guns,
And there was no one else left to defend my rights.

Eh, some of the t-shirts I like. Especially the peace ones. I'd just need to silk screen "Peace through superior firepower" on the back..

'World Peace' is a noble and very unrealistic dream, but hey nothing wrong with dreaming. I'm still dreaming of a lovely Sako TRG-42 some day...


"Guns don't protect people, people do." That's right. Guns are simply tools. Very useful and fun tools, but still tools. It's the people that make them work, and use them for good or bad.

Would we be considered to be chumming if we wore these shirts while carrying?

 

[DualBerettas]

'guns don't save lives' people do'......stupider words were never spoken.

If guns don't protect people what do you suppose people use to protect other people with?

The answer is obvious:

Human shields

Gbelleh:
The dove on the tshirt listed at the top of the t-shirt page looks like it could use an EBR accessory too.

Until they came for me shirt.



It's out of place for sure.

 

[foghornl]

YUK!


Some of that stuff is what I would expect to see on the campaign site of Dennis Kook-cinich. sheeeeshhh

 

[sturmruger]

I am in the t-shirt business and have to say their artwork is pathetic. Crappy artwork for a crappy cause. Reading all of that just about ruined my day. I hate reading that kind of stuff.

 

[usmcmonty]

Here is the discription written next to the "Until they came for me shirt."

" This black shirt displays a rose wrapped in barbed wire, and a poem detailing how the Nazi terrorists went after one identifiable minority group after another, until none were left. The poem is attributed to a christian pastor named Martin Neimoeller. The warning is timely and true to the tactics of bullies and barbarians, and is a fearful warning for times to come. Remember, Hitler's alliances with the catholic and protestant churches are well documented."
