1. I was reading an article recently in the NRA magazine
No, I don't get the NRA magazine - it was in a friend's bathroom.

Anyway, they were all worked up about how unreasonable it was to have laws that forbade the carrying of firearms in bars and restaurants. The nerve! The gist of the article was that the liberal freaks who wanted such laws were "afraid of their fellow citizens."

And my immediate response was, why do you feel the need to CARRY a weapon in a bar or restaurant if you're not afraid of your fellow citizen?

Morans.
