Dead kids sure are a bummer but….

Posted on March 28, 2013 by johnrachel

None of the discussions about guns and gun control are remotely coherent or rational. We can nitpick over the details of gun regulation but frankly the whole discussion is so far out off the edge, it’s like a conversation in an insane asylum between Napoleon and Jesus about what they should do with Elvis over there in the corner to keep him from singing “All Shook Up” during arts and crafts. Yes, it’s that bad. It’s pure insanity. Continue reading →

The Right To Bear Nuclear Arms

Posted on September 3, 2012 by johnrachel

Guns don’t kill people. People kill people! Since this is irrefutable logic, I began to wonder why it has been applied so narrowly. The truth is, guns are just one form of lethal entertainment. Thanks to the amazing advances in science and technology, there is a cornucopia of devices which fit the legal definition of “arms” as referred to in our Constitution.
