One
Hand-Gun Clapping
When a shooter runs amuck, as they often do in this country, innocent
people end up dying. But we all feel better when the cops
arrive with the heavy artillery and take
the perp out. Except the dead people, of course. They don't
feel anything but dead.
I got to thinking about this while on a bike ride yesterday.
I passed a grizzled end-timer in an NRA t-shirt which was
graced by exactly the kind of clever graphic repartee
you'd expect from someone with presumably cold, dead hands.
I pondered to myself as I pedaled onward "I should have
stopped and asked him what he would do if I skulked quietly
up behind
him and blew his brains out with one of his favorite Second
Amendment play-toys?"
You and I, dear reader, know exactly what he would have
said. He would have yelped "Whut the
hay-yull!?" spattered with terbacky-herbed saliva and then
proceed to shove the closest murder machine he
could
grab
up my
nose all the while casting various unpleasant aspersions
toward she who birthed me.
Guns aren't an answer to any problem, not even this "I
hate that muthafukkah!" ones, though exclusions can be
made be for those who are hungry and not a vegetarian.
The Second Amendment,
in
case you forgot, was intended to allow slave-owners to
keep their property safe and secure (Or else!) down
on the old antebellum farms.
500,000 dead Americans and 160 years later that damned
Amendment ain't doing nobody no damn good.
Except the 6 O'clock news. A media mogul's gotta eat, right? No
one's sitting though five minutes of highly profitable
pharmaceutical ads to view a puff piece about Mamaw's surprise
kitten birthday.

Trump: "I never heard of Stormy Daniels. Oh, that Stormy
Daniels. There's no way I paid her $130,000 to shut her up
about an alleged affair we had. Well, yeah, she really did
get that money but it was my attorney who paid it, and he
paid her out of his own pocket. It had nothing to do with
me. Erm, well, okay, he paid the money but it was from fees
I paid him as my attorney. Yes, it's very unusual to just
give your attorney free money like that but I'm a generous
billionaire. Everyone knows that. Yes, I pay him a salary,
he just gave it to her for his own reasons. Oh, my name is
on the check? A check drawn on my trust fund? .......It never
happened! Never, ever, ever and I don't know why you're asking
me these questions! Is anyone else cold in here?" <poooot!>
