Watched this on Netflix this weekend, was it bad I cheered every time an ATF agent got shot?

I saw it. They really tried to make David look good. I mean sure he was banging every girl above ten years old in the compound, but it was strictly for procreation and not his enjoyment!

Tim Riggins did a great job in this. Loved it

If someone other than a fucking Nazi blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City (and also if they chose a target that didn't have a fucking daycare in it), I feel like we as a society would have a very different feeling towards that event.

I cheer when most cops get shot and no cops deserve to be shot more than ATF agents.

The Ruby Ridge siege precipitated a whoooole lot of madness in America, I feel like it's a bit overlooked as a catalyst.

I'm not sure I agree here. Yes, the dead children and the Neo-Nazism had a lot to do with the perceived enormity of the event, but take those out and I still don't think the American public says "hm, you know what? I'm glad some guy blew up the office building."

Let's say he blew up an FBI or ATF building that didn't have civilian offices in it? Does that change the perception of it? (also removing the whole Nazi part of it as well)

Also regarding Ruby Ridge. Anyone want to guess who the AG who oversaw that murder was?

I'm not too sure there, the FBI has always had a pretty effective propaganda department. America loves its police procedurals and all that.

I don't think anyone really has positive feelings about the ATF. If some non-Nazi small-government militia man blew up an empty ATF office to make some sort of point, I think people would say "hm, that's pretty messed up, oh well, what's on TV? Hey, Law & Order, nice."

I do believe it was returning champion Bill Barr?

I mean, what a terrible name to begin with. Who has anything against Alcohol, Tobacco or Firearms?

You would be correct

It's hilarious how the supposedly pro-gun NRA completely overlooks that because they must suck Trump's micro-dick. The NRA is made up of the morons who have the stupid "blue line flag" next to a "come and take it" bumper sticker and are too dumb to realize who would actually be doing the taking if it ever came to that.

Among the many reasons no true 2nd Amendment supporter will ever give a dime to that organization
