Gun Nuttery 4

Over at Brendan’s place.

Guns are nasty, smelly, dangerous things that must be treated with respect. There is irony in that many of those most vocal about bearing arms are among the least respectful of the power of firearms.

They’ve seen too many cowboy movies.

    When the gun nut that I live with got his CCW, he came home & told me about a woman there. When asked why she wanted a permit to carry concealed, she announced for everyone to hear that it’s her God given right to do so & nobody was going to stop her.

    Chris figured she’ll either shoot someone accidentally & have the license pulled for brandishing.

    Cops & military ONLY are the people who should have guns. Not idiots who have only paper target experience. I don’t think we’re going to be invaded anytime soon by an army of stick riding, paper target warriors.

    I’m not sure I would go that far.  In fact, I know I wouldn’t go that far.  Guns can be useful tools.

    But emotional involvement some of the yahoos have with guns is frankly creepy.  They seem to regard them as–er–“marital aids” of some sort to be kept in their sock drawer (why is it always the sock drawer?).

    I needed a laugh this morning.  I applaud your wording.
