Guns. Sure, I own a few. What good god-fearin’ American doesn’t? I figure it’s my duty to keep the arms manufacturers afloat. Of course, mine are just to keep those other gun nuts at bay. I hope I never have to use them, but if someone’s spoilin’ for a gunfight, well that’s ok too.
So, what’s not to like about guns? Well, for starters, they’re noisy, and they’re made for killing. And since it’s illegal to shoot each other, most people use them against non-human animals.
Some folks out here in rural America are so proud of their guns they wear it like a badge. They advertise it all over their loud pickup trucks so no one seeing the cute little Pomeranians in their cab mistakes them for some kind of anti-gun pinko.
Mostly, I don’t like the noise they make. And I guess I empathize with the animals too much. Whenever you hear gunfire, ya have to wonder who the hell’s out there shooting now and what, or who, are they shooting at this time.

Exposing the Big Game 
Guns may not kill people, but more and more it appears that guns look for any excuse to discharge a high-velocity projectile in the direction of people.

Guns suck.
Guns need to be “well regulated”–just like the 2nd Amendment says. How convenient it is that most of the gun nuts forget that part.
The 2nd Amendment says nothing about regulating guns. It mentions a “well regulated” militia but says nothing about regulating guns. Just to be accurate.
