In the ritualized aftermath of a high-profile shooting, there are certain things that absolutely must happen. Obviously, it is very important to explain how the victim's poor choices led to the tragedy, so that We At Home can feel marginally safer and reassured, because we would never make those bad choices. And, of course, there's the inevitable fairy tale spun by the National Rifle Association: If only the victim had been armed, she wouldn't have been a victim. So when NFL linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, last week, the only surprise was that it actually took NRA president Wayne LaPierre several days to come out with his
I'm no fan of PETA -- I'm more in favor of people eating tasty animals -- but the article you cite fairly screams with the sound of axes being ground. I'm suspicious of anything that cites the Daily Caller twice, except to point and laugh.
It's like driving; if you're drunk, don't drive. If you're bipolar (like me), juuuuusst maybe you shouldn't be around a gun.

You got your bird gun, your deer gun, your squirrel gun, your gun for pickin off stray cats from offa the porch, your gun for shootin beer cans out in the back forty, your special shotgun for weddings, your trespasser gun, your girlfriend gun...

Surely he&#039;ll be issuing a correction when he learns that the victim was also an experienced gun owner. That changes the equation completely.
The one constant on which we can depend is that the bought-and-paid-for &quot;mainstream&quot; media won&#039;t go after the NRA on their crass fear-mongering, much less the untrue statements that attempt to use the Second Amendment as a cloak for dangerous &quot;capitalist&quot; manipulation of Federal and local laws.
If my wife carried at all times, she&#039;d have killed me at least a dozen times by now. She&#039;s very easily startled when she&#039;s drying her hair.
I thought the nightstand was a story about a family laid low by the flue and the devil taking up residence in a piece of their bedroom furniture.
I think you just described that 25% of America that will always vote for anything with an R next to their name.
