What the Democrats refuse to believe, and everyone with common sense does?

You protect the things that are valuable to you, your community, and your country, with firearms.

Not with "Gun Free Zone" decals stuck on windows and signs.

In an interesting experiment in Texas, a man tested whether his shotgun or "military assualt" rifle, were in fact deadly.

He placed both guns on a chair, near the front door, right next to the ammunition they fired.

During the day, several family members went in and out of the front door, undisturbed.

At bedtime, he checked the guns, and ammo -- Surprise! - neither gun had loaded itself, shot at anyone or anything, or even pointed itself, at anyone!

Neither gun was "dangerous" or needed "controlling" by any government official, in order to be made safe.

It's a shame that common sense runs away from our politicians in Washington, faster than shit runs out of a goose, isn't it?

Actually, me and my country seem to mostly disagree about what's important. I maintain a low profile and hit the deck when a drone flies over.

I have lots of disagreements with my community, as well. We've made a truce though. They leave me alone, and I won't show up at city counsel meetings.

For personal protection, I recommend a set of Boyce knitting needles. Works like a charm.

He got the handgun waiting period and the posting waiting period mixed up.

Three Stoogers did the same experiment. All ended up in heaven ... without virgins.
