Fruitcakes, Nuts and Extremists
Thursday, June 26th, 2008The Supreme Court is expected to rule this week on the D.C. gun law. As I understand it, a person is not allowed to even keep a gun in their own home. I could be wrong on the law. If my understanding is correct, it seems rather extreme to me.
On the other end you have Utah. The nuts there are going whole hog over open carry. It seems they like to make a statment by pretending they live in the Wild West and carry their guns strapped to their hips and out for everyone to see.
I think they are trying to compensate for inadequacies in other areas.
People who believe they need to be packing heat 24/7 are probably exactly the people who shouldn’t be carrying.
Another good cartoon from Pat Bagley, my favorite political cartoonist, regarding this issue.
