“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Man shoots hoops while toting his portable phallus. Portable phallus shoots hoopster.

You won’t find one without the other.

The Best Years of Our Lives, a superb movie about the challenges faced by veterans returning from WWII. I suspect that veterans returning from other wars have faced similar challenges.
If you can find it, watch it. We saw it on TCM.

I don’t know that my father faced such challenges upon his return from WWII, but I do know that he saw and endured things that persons on the homefront never had to see or endure.
He fought fascism in Europe.
He would be appalled and ashaned to know that we now must needs fight fascism at home.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.
