    America just loves violence I guess. Violent movies, violent blood  sports, 

    violent video games, violent gangsta rap, violent cops.... it’s just part of the culture. Since guns promote violence I guess you could say guns promote the culture. So if you’re an American patriotic, violence loving, flag waving, meat puppet sh*t factory...well then...I guess ya wanna promote the culture by making sure you carry a gun around and use it as much as possible. Preserve the American way of life.

    Guns don't kill people. Deranged criminals armed with guns kill people. 

    The public are given rights to own guns to protect themselves from the dangerously deranged criminals who CARRY GUNS. 

    Dangerously deranged criminals WILL NEVER OBEY LAWS OUTLAWING ALL GUN POSSESSION. 

    Outlawing gun possession from the innocent public PUTS THEM AT DANGER FROM BEING SHOT BY DANGEROUSLY DERANGED ARMED CRIMINALS.

    A new police Miranda statement should begin ,"You have the right to be armed , dangerous and stupid ,but ----

    No matter how politely I ask the Deer, they just don't seem to want to get out of my garden and into the freezer with out a little coercion....and having to chase them while they bleed out from an arrow wound seems inhumane.
