"There is a social cost to recreational gun ownership...we are all paying"
TPM Editor’s Blog
Not So Fun for JB

From TPM Reader JB …
Getting drunk and driving 100 miles an hour is also fun, but it’s still illegal. Same with crystal meth. The point is there is a social cost to allowing recreational gun ownership, and gun owners need to acknowledge we are all paying a certain price for their entertainment. For those of us who never have and never will own a gun, it is most definitely not worth it.

Not giving in to a Bush Cheney style fascist authoritarian government is the argument that plays well to students of history as opposed to victims of histrionics.
All that aside....
Wishing you and yours a happy season, CreekDog!
