“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

A polite family is a close family.

Police said the rifle was laying on the backseat floorboard of a Chevrolet pickup when the man, 46, attempted to lift an ice chest into the backseat.

At the same time, his daughter, 17, was placing a phone into a pocket in the truck’s door when the gun discharged. The single shot hit the man in the hip area and struck his daughter in the arm.

I recently was in attendance when two gun nuts–and I would say these persons would be responsible gun owners who indeed would treat guns with the caution and respect that instruments of death deserve–started rationalizing gunnuttery.

I did not challenge them because it would not have done a damn bit of good to pick a fight, but to hear the NRA propaganda–well, leaps of logic filled the discourse as leaps of kangaroos fill Oz.
