Well, maybe not so fast. I heard a story on NPR today that there is a shortage of gun amunition. Because people are so afraid that Obama will tighten up on gun control, they’ve gone ape-shit trying to buy as many guns as they can and, along with it, the ammo. In light of the tragedies in Binghampton, NY and Pittsburgh this past week, it still amazes me that people are still so resistant to slowing down the proliferation of guns in this country. I personally subscribe to Chris Rock’s theory on gun control–making ammunition exorbitantly expensive so you have to think about whether you can afford to shoot somebody. So I first thought this new shortage might not be so bad; however, the shortage is crippling law enforcement’s access to ammunition too. Anyway, you might want to buy stock in a gun company, because that seems to be the one industry making money in this economy, but Lord help us if the police are out-gunned and “out-ammoed.”
The only reason you don’t speak japanese or german is that invasion of America was ruled out by those governments in WW2 because of so many private gun owners. Now, more that ever, do we need guns in everyone’s closet. That is the only thing that will keep the Chinese or Koreans from invading in the future.
Guns don’t kill people; bad people kill people. Guns protect good people from bad people. Timothy McVeigh killed several hundred people and never fired a shot. What do we do….outlaw fertilizer?
If we do get invaded some day, the commies can have you!
Ok. The commies can have me, Stan. ::smirk:: I’m sorry, how did private gun owners on American soil keep Germans from invading? [Crickets are chirping and maybe there's the sound of one hand clapping.] Didn’t the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor? I don’t think private gun owners fixed that problem, Stan–I think it was a Fat Man and a Little Boy.
