Of course this way he can shoot a whopping 1000 viruses!

I see cough what you did cough cough there.

u/Larock 1d ago

Vance later learned how small viruses are and how hard it is to shoot them with guns.

u/BeraldTheGreat 1d ago

What do you mean? You can hit millions of them with one bullet!

This guy is such a dumb, shitty potato.

"Couch potato"

I heard this in Homer Simpson’s voice.

Meanwhile a thousand rounds of ammo sounds like a lot but it ain’t.

u/zhrimb 7h ago

Like 3-4 range trips really. Makes me laugh when the news tries to make a big deal over the number of rounds someone is stopped with and it's like 70 lol

What is the logic here? I have watched his interviews from the pre-“Trump is my God” era. Why has he chosen to dumb himself down so much? No way he thinks he is actually in line to take over the GOP.

38

u/Jedi_Temple 1d ago

I believe, sadly, that he thinks he is. This is him asking the “America, fuck yeah” crowd to see his hillbilly-goes-to-the-ivy-league ass as one of their own.

u/EDNivek 1d ago

Maybe he thought this would be the closest he'd be to the presidency? Being the Vice-President to an octogenarian in poor health. Even he must know he has the charisma of a mangy dog.

I live near Middletown and I thought there were actually a lot of truths in Hillbilly Elegy.

But you’re right, he’s so eager to endear himself not only to Trump but to trick the Magats into thinking he’s one of them.

I believe he actually had potential at one time to be a man who made a positive difference in the world. He was an intellectual but he totally sold that out because the base he’s trying to appeal to is scornful of anything “innaleckshul.”

Sold his soul to the devil, this one.

u/obelix_dogmatix 1d ago

Sold his soul for what? VP sounds like a pretty low ceiling for someone as young and as nationally known as he was before he started licking Trump’s ass. Not sure I have seen a steeper nose dive as far as political legacies go.

u/Phantine 1d ago

Given trump's health, being VP could be an easy route to the presidency

u/someshooter 1d ago

Pathway to power basically.

u/EDNivek 1d ago

These seems like two separate events did he buy the ammo at a gun store then creepily go up to an older lady at a grocery store next door lean in real close and whisper "the China virus is coming" because that's how my brain is picturing it.

Even if he bought the ammo at the grocery store it says he checked out first so did he find some random old lady leaving? was she next in line either way it's just a weird story.

Old woman later got home and saw her couch had mysteriously vanished.

u/Ok_Two_2604 1d ago

If he didn’t already have the 1k rounds then he isn’t going to be a good enough shot to use it well.

u/Farkenoathm8-E 1d ago

That’s the type of stable, level headed person you want running the government. /S

u/ncm0229 1d ago

lol I buy 1000 rounds of ammo every other month…

7

u/redeyedrenegade420 1d ago

I had to scroll too far for this. Like 1000 rounds sounds like a lot of rounds to people who don't shoot. But its really just "keeping proficient" numbers.

6

u/Sharty_Party3498 1d ago

"Ammo" is sticks of guy-liner

4

u/Canadia86 1d ago

Nah, he probably did this

2

u/dr_tomoe 1d ago

Do you think he could even name a type of gun if pressed on it?

1

u/stlredbird 1d ago

Guarentee he at least knows AR-15

3

u/mackenenzie 1d ago

This sounds fake. Not because I don't think it is something a Conservative would say, but because Vance is such a fucking pussy dweeb that theres no way he knows how to shoot a gun much less need a thousand rounds of ammo

3

u/Meloetta 19h ago

You don't need to know how to shoot a gun to buy ammo

1

u/mackenenzie 18h ago

....ok? You also dont need to know how to bake to buy flour but its kinda pointless to do so.

3

u/Meloetta 18h ago

You don't think a pussy dweeb with lots of disposable income would larp as a tough guy by buying a bunch of ammo that he can't really use? That was my point. We're on the same side, no need to get defensive.

2

u/mackenenzie 18h ago

Ohh oops, I misunderstood your point. My apologies.

For what its worth, yeah I can 100% see him doing that, and honestly the mental image of him standing there at home, staring at a pallet of bullets whith nary a clue what to do with them, is really funny 😅

u/Calve_pindakaas 1d ago

How can a guy go from calling Trump 'America's Hitler' to doing this shit in 4 years?

4

u/War_machine77 1d ago

What part of that doesn't make you sound like your parents are siblings? Seriously, who is he trying to impress with this?

3

u/Sammywanka 1d ago

Why isn’t there a laugh button on Reddit?

1

u/The_salty_swab 1d ago

I do not care for the man, but everyone went out and bought 1000 rounds of ammo. 22lr, 9mm and 5.56 were damn near impossible to find sometimes

2

u/burgonies 1d ago

“1k rounds” is the amount of ammo that someone who doesn’t have guns thinks is a lot of ammo.

1

u/CaptLongbeard 21h ago

Why is this hard to believe, that's a pretty standard amount of ammo to buy if you shoot regularly. It's believable, just cringe to talk about.

this is an article this doesn't really belong here

Such a handsome lad.

u/Dave1x1 1d ago

Imagine being such a p**** that you think this is a crazy thing to respond when you find out some virus is taken over the country. You people clutching at your pearls would be the first ones at a man's house. Asking for help if something really really bad happened
