Sounds to me like the Ammosexual agenda taking control. Lord knows what they do that they need to have rifle butts pads

I started a job in western Michigan at the end of winter many eons ago and discovered that it was against the law to play in the parks on Sunday and the only fast food place on Sunday was a Long John Silvers. Scared the hell out of me and I was gone before the snow returned. Most of the churches were different flavors of Christian Reformed Dutch... it was a very scary place.

No, it's not just the South. I've twice flown to MN in order to canoe Boundary Waters/Quetico. Ely, MN...no package beer/wine sales on Sunday. At least St. Louis county allows liquor stores to sell liquor...went to Grand Marais in Cook County and, apparently, the town operates the only legal place to buy package alcohol.

Thankfully I live in California where this shit doesn't exist.

I still recall the amazement expressed by my fellow sailors from other states, when I'd say "Let's stop at the grocery store and get a six-pack". I think a couple of them thought about relocating permanently to california just for that.

You still can't buy booze before noon on Sundays where I live in NY. My grocery store ropes off the beer section on Sunday mornings.

Not much point in ducking - if you hear the bang, it means they missed you.

You do know that that isn't the least bit reassuring, right?

Here in left coast Commie-fornia they refuse to close the local outdoor gun range on Sundays, making a quiet hike through the woods next to impossible. Damn atheists!

We lived by the northern end of the dismal swamp. There were lots of woods, and by middle school very few people would have ever seen me if I didn't want them to. By the way, I am not anti-hunting. But I am very anti- rich, drunken, assholes with guns playing at hunting.

For me, church isn't complete without the celebratory gunfire.

how 'bout . . . a constitutional amendment . . . both houses have to convene for two weeks every year in each state?

downsides: transportation costs, congressional complaining...

upsides: some of those completely isolated dickwads would be exposed to other constituencies, congressional butthurt...

solution: put congress on an Amtrak train* (we would also get good Amtrak service everywhere)

* sealed train or not . . . your choice.

[we could bill it as the world's largest traveling freakshow]

So it was another transcription error in the Bible after all.

Matthew 14:15-2715 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and a couple of thirty-point bucks,” they answered. "Oh, and half a case of beer."
