bad week for 2nd Amendment supporters - don't worry!
Hello fellow shooters (firearms aficionados),
Seems to have been a bad week for us in the news. The preacher's wife shoots her husband in Tennessee, Tom DeLay loses his CCW in Texas (as a result of his felony indictment) and now some idiot at an all-nighter decides to open fire on a bunch of other party-goers. Apparently it was a "zombie party" and the shooter used a shotgun.
In the article I read on FOXNEWS.com, there were many "scare" statements, but the one that is meant to scare the parents is this one;
The home, which according to King County property records is owned by a man named D. Gregg Doyle, is just a few blocks from Miller Community Center, where Little League baseball games were under way Saturday morning.
Clearly, all they wanted to do was scare you into thinking that had this loser not blown his own brains out, he would have marched right down to the ball fields and started/continued shooting. That is CRAP! Plain and simple. Since he killed himself, the only hope anyone has of knowing why this guy did this is possibly a note or some stuff on his computer, or maybe in his truck?
It is always unfortunate to hear about these sorts of things in our circle, but it happens and we must acknowledge that there are evil and stupid people out there. They not only kill people, hurt people and do harm to themselves, they also hurt America.
We all will now have to suffer through the hours and hours of Brady-bunch anti-gun people, "the mommies" and a host of others who hate our guns espousing their oh-so virtuous idea of taking the guns away.
Then, the preacher's wife - goodness, does that seem a little out of whack? The lady is married to a church of Christ preacher right in the middle of the Bible belt and she hauls off and kills him - with a gun! Now, most Christians I know, even here on the "Left Coast" have a tendency to support gun ownership, or at least no more of the "take them away now" laws. Now this lady does this! ARGH!
Well, it is what it is, and it was not the gun that killed him. She pulled the trigger, and as we ALL know, guns don't shoot on their own.
Tom's license - well, I do not know the details of his indictment, but a felony is a felony, so as bad as it may be for him, losing his license is an unfortunate consequence. Remember though - this does not mean he feels any different about guns. It just means that he can't carry it concealed. Don't let them "Lefties" try to tell you anything else.
Here's a tidbit to stick in your back pocket and whip out if you are stuck with anyone trying to tell you that the "Brady-bunch" are great people and they would never get near a gun, take a look at this quote;
"And I can't describe how I felt when I picked up that rifle,
loaded it into my little car, and drove home. It seemed so
incredibly strange: Sarah Brady, of all people, packing heat."
- source: "A Good Fight", Sarah Brady, chapter 21, page 223
of first edition hardback, ISBN 1-58648-105-3
Seems odd, doesn't it? Sarah Brady talking about herself "packing heat" as she describes it. Frankly, my guns are rather cold most of the time - except for at the range. :-)
Anyway - I tend to ramble, but it will always be about guns, so maybe it is not actually rambling???
