    Guns don’t kill people, people do. Guns just make it a lot easier. AR-15 makes it super easy.

    I jsit killed my whole family, and i couldnt have done it without a gun! I’m too much of a coward, a knife would have been waaay too hard. So, thanks to everyone at the NRA,

Follow the link for the full story, including reportage on the Bellingham Herald’s efforts to get comment from the NRA.

Aside:

I didn’t believe this story when I first saw it from Yahoo! News Australia. I thought it likely a satirical piece mistakenly recast as news (something that happens far too frequently, particularly on “social” media), so I tracked it back to the source.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
