Closing in on the total body count for the Battle of Fredericksburg (1890). Should be there by the time the weekend is over.
"From my cold dead hands" actually has nothing to do with guns. "From my cold dead hands" is talking about the money the gun makers make, and they are far more than willing to let others die to make a buck.

There are two different types of Gun nuts that I see.
The first is the kind that collects guns and gets excited about finding a 1873 model with the right markings. The type that loves to make their own primers and black powder. (me)
The second kind of nut is the type of person that wants to be the most dangerous dude alive. He wants his friends to think "oh god! I hope he never loses it!"
Then there is the bulk of gun owners that don't fit that category but may have bits and pieces of those "Nut" zones.
I am seeing too many of the second type, and the "new age hunter that orgasms over killing animals" types, than I care for at all.
What could be done to "deglorify" violence?
The U.N. should vote to have a picture of a cute kitten on every country's flag.
