“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
When I was a young ‘un, shooting at tin cans in the back yard of Pine View Farm (except during hunting season, because there might have been hunters in the woods on the other side of the field behind the back yard and the bullet from a .22 rifle can carry for a a mile or more), I was taught to treat every gun as if it were loaded unless I personally verified that it was not. (I was a pretty good shot, too. I once picked off a–oh, never mind.)
I was also taught never to point a gun at anything or any creature unless I intended to shoot it.
Apparently, those lessons aren’t taught any more, because we have become a society of stupid fascinated with firearms, but with no concept of how to use them properly.
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.
