My Sunday morning treat is to lounge around the house and
read the Sunday paper. It usually makes me angry with it's
tea party bias and it certainly did not fail to arouse my
ire this morning.
The front page showed pictures of 2,000 people who met at
the capitol, wearing guns and holsters protesting gun control.
Gun control would not have any effect on their right to own
a legally registered gun for self defense but no, they all
wanted the right to own assault weapons also. Are they all
so stupid that they do not understand that these weapons
belong only in the hands of the military and the Police?
Do they not understand that the NRA profits from the sale of
guns? Gun show owners and operators have a huge advertisement
in today's paper also and have a vested interest in selling
assault weapons and ammunition.
Personally, I disapprove of hunting. I would rather be an
old deer than a dead one and you can call it harvesting but
it is still killing. Nine tenths of the people who hunt do
not eat the meat.
I feel ashamed of my state because they sanctioned an open
carry law. It is not the wild west anymore.
