54. Oh Well
The first part rails against what I suppose some folks believe is the "Liberal Elite" opinion of Gun Owners. Yeah, some folks think that way, I'm sorry you have to give them so much credence, they think less of people they consider cruder than they regardless of whether they're armed, so, it would be squirrel eating or coon hunting or something else if it weren't the guns.

Here's a link to Snopes about the Aussie stuff: http://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/ausguns.asp

Of course, Native Americans had Guns, we Euro-Americans just had more of them......


Responsible Gun Ownership is a good thing........I like to shoot, I like to eat what I've shot.

I do live in a place where the random homicide rate is close to zero, and my county has about a million residents. Nearly all homicides here are family related, vengeance, or drug deals gone sour. I am far more troubled about bad/drunk drivers than armed thugs.

I'm just wondering who is trying to take Ghost in the Machine's Guns away.......
