What planet do you come from? If things were "truly right in
the world" my wife and I wouldn't have had to curtail our evening walks
in certain parts of the neighorhood because some fellow with a "legitimate
sporting firearm" or "freedom preserving anti-government oppression device"
or whatever you want to call it chose to use it instead to relieve us of
our spare cash.
Are you trying to imply that "if things were truly right in
the world" he would have been blasted down in a hail of gunfire from
my freedom-loving fellow citizens? Or are you saying I should have
had a gun of my own and tried to outdraw him there on the corner?
Perhaps you're right, I should have resisted oppression by getting
gutshot so he could appreciate what a horrible thing a bullet wound
is.
"If things were truly right in the world" you wouldn't need
a gun for self defence. Faugh!
mjr.
