If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, maybe you haven't quite grasped the situation.

<i>"Like Hitler said, we’d have to be crazy to let the conquered people have guns. And crazy is one thing I don’t think he was."</i>

Yes.Hitler was the sane one.

From the linky: <i>Pratt said he didn’t think this man actually wanted to shoot the congresswoman, but added, “that’s probably a healthy fear for them to have.”</i>

That's how terrorism works. The threat of violence -- sometimes coupled with actual violence -- to achieve a political objective. Congratulations Larry Pratt. You are Osama bin Laden.

I always have a list of students I'd cheerfully volunteer to crawl through the air ducts in absorbent cloth to give them a good clean-out.

Who was it who said that students should be trained to swarm a gunman, because that way he could be overpowered through sheer numbers?

It's in the Norwegian dictionary too, under "vorpulten hestkuk".

You're only a hero if you <i>shoot</i> the hand grenade. With a good shot, natch.

I see what Pratt is designing to do. I hope he gets schooled.

Where youall put the Republican Dictionary at?

Because my lame, inept librul dictionary defines heroism as doing the right thing while being absolutely shitass terrified. Such as shielding children from automatic weapons fire with one's body, for example.

The newest edition of Dr. Spock's "Baby and Child Care" might want to include this useful advice to American parents: Before you allow your kid to go to a friend's house on a play date, call the parents and ask them how many guns are in the house. If the answer is "one or more," decline to send your kid to play there.

I'd also be grateful if those states with concealed and open carry laws could post a notice on the border: Welcome to South Carolina! Please Remember When Visiting Our Beautiful State That in Any Group of More Than Three People, Two Are Carrying Hidden Guns, and One Is a Trigger-Happy Asshole. P. Foghorn T. Leghorn, Governor.
