29. These guys really are that stupid

My gun nut brother has fantasies of public shootouts. If I walk into a store with him, he says that if the store gets robbed he will yell, "Everybody down" as he pulls out his gun. He says if I hear him yell that, I am to lie flat out on the floor. He claims that he has 'conditioned himself to automatically go into condition orange' as he calls it. He says, "condition orange,' is a reflexive state that kicks in during dangerous situations. He says the bullets will start flying. He has warped Rambo fantasies. He has all these stupid magazines and books that he gets this stuff from.

It's pathetic listening to him talk about it. He doesn't understand how stupid it sounds to a rational person.

Ironically he was always the 'smart one' in the family. He was brilliantly smart up until he turned into a Republican. Once that happened, his common sense began to downward spiral and has been ever since.
