That is Jesus’s favorite gun!
- Alternative opinion, that's Jesus's least favorite gun.

  It's jesus' favorite in the way that bats are batman's favorite animal, I guess?
Well yeah, I wouldn't think he was firing a nail gun at people he was hopelessly in love with!
- Says you! I shoot my nail gun at workers on telephone poles because I don't want them to fall.
- A lesson is learned but the damage is irreversible.
  
  I bought that dollar suitcase too, but it was in Europe so the postage meant it was just an empty suitcase.
You don't say. /s
- I came here to say this.
Wow, that's surprising. Usually it's not hate when I'm looking to nail something.
- Usually, but ~~occasionally~~ rarely there's the hatefuck.
- If you get in an argument with your neighbour and put a framing nail into him, that’s assault. If you put that nail into protected minority and it can be proven that you were motivated by bigotry and a desire to subjugate that minority, you are guilty of a hate crime, which is a much more serious crime
I am very happy that this person wasn't able to obtain a fire arm easily.
Clearly the police are anti-semites. /s
Look out! He's got love nails!
motivated by a deep-seated desire to use a nail gun maybe
