After every mass shooting conservatives insist that it is the wrong time to talk about gun control. But it’s never the wrong time to celebrate guns.

To be “fair”, it’s really hard to schedule these announcements without conflicting with a school shooting. Won’t someone think of the poor sheriffs departments who have to try to work their gun propaganda around all the tragic gun violence?

It also strikes me as a little inappropriate to be bragging about having issued nearly 50,000 conceal carry permits in a county of roughly 700,000 people. Is that really something worth bragging about?

El Paso county is home to Colorado Springs and is the deepest red conservative, Republican, evangelical, military stronghold west of the Mississippi.
Let’s just say the sheriff department knows it’s audience well.

I’d say they got ratio’d, but the brave Sherriff’s department turned off replies.

This country is so fucked up. [gestures at… everything about this]
Also, I remain constantly astounded at how eager American law enforcement is at propagating this supremely fucked-up gun culture, given how terrified they are of its consequences. (I mean, sure, it also gives them an excuse to shoot brown people and makes them self-martyring, but… I suppose it’s mostly a total lack of self-awareness.)

The irony is he’d fucking need it if he was going to hand out presents around there with all the assholes with guns “protecting their property”.

Did you know that El Paso County has a per-capita gun death rate higher than most places in the developed world?

Between this and that fucked up greeting card with the family packin’, it sure looks like a call for a literal war on Christmas.

Yeah, but still. It’s a bit like saying, “Hey, come to Colorado Springs! We have guns! So so many guns. And you won’t have a clue who’s packing because they’re all concealed. What could go wrong?!”
“Well, ok, sure, THAT could go wrong, but is that so bad, really?” /s
