The Second Amendment. And history of slavery.

When my kid was in primary school in San Diego, we got a new student from Beijing. His mother came to the coffee morning / meet and greet thing. She spoke very little English. During the Q&A, she raised her hand and said something in 'Mandaringlish.' We must have all looked blank because she lifted her hand, folded her fingers into a gun, and pulled the invisible trigger a few times. Ugh. (The school had in fact asked the police to come in and advise them on what to do if they had a shooter.)

It's just a damned shame that the dead Republican pimp doesn't get a vote on this.

The Confederate book is superfluous. He is a Republican from Georgia.

Also too: "Rep. Drew Ferguson, who is running for reelection in Georgia’s Third District, marked the 74th anniversary of the allied invasion of Normandy with an image of soldiers for Nazi Germany and a tank with the Iron Cross, a symbol of the German military."

It is in mine as well. I've watched some of the videos of feral pig/wild boar hunts which some tout AR-15 types as necessary for, and they amount to "shoot a lot, hit a few, and you're making the problem worse." That's aside from the ethos I grew up with, which was "One shot, one kill." If you didn't get it with the first shot, you're not getting it with the next 10, and you shouldn't have taken the shot in the first place.

Sending part of this essay to the NRA, who thoughtfully provided me with a postage paid envelope.

Enough that if you gave it to public radio, you could get (based on my local WMNF) seven CDs on a variety of public affairs topics.

Wow, a bill to allow people to conceal carry without any training. Any bottom to these how-low-can-you-go types?
