Today in "Sell More And Do Nothing"

You' ll be that way right up til the moment when some jacked up asshole decides to kick down your front door and destroy shit.

Then you will find yourself woefully unprepared for the simple undeniable fact that the world can be a dangerous place.

Feel free to be deluded otherwise.

You make the mistake of thinking I've never faced violence before.

You make the mistake of thinking that not having a gun is the same as being unprepared.

You make the mistake of thinking that having a gun makes you brave.

You make a lot of mistakes.

Boru

If you're so unafraid - why are you calling for more regulation?

Because you' re such a tough guy?

Sure - THAT makes sense.



How exactly are you prepared? You got stern words for an assailant?

My father is an NRA loving, gun toting, “we don’t call 911”, “I’m gonna protect my family”, type of guy. He keeps a loaded pistol in his and my mom’s house for “protection”. Two summers ago, the family and I were out visiting. That weekend happened to be the weekend that my two year old learned how to climb out of the crib. I’ll never forget walking into the kitchen to tell my parents that Christopher had gotten out of the crib that morining and my dad saying, “whoa, I better get that gun out out of dresser drawer.” Guns don’t automatically equal safety. My son could have been killed that weekend in the name of “protecting the family”. It still makes me sick to think about it.

There hasn' t been a toddler in my house for 50 years. Not applicable.
