Go on, tell me why anyone needs 47 guns. Tell me he was worried about "home invasions" or he had to go hunting or something. Go on.

I know first hand that there are a lot of right wing gun toting nut cases in Indiana, but now they are threatening to shoot up elementary schools. WOW

It's 1:00 a.m. here. My son has to go to school in six-and-a-half hours. I'm less than thrilled.
I mean, I don't really think he's in danger. But who ever does?
Well, the gun nuts think they're in danger. That's why they're gun nuts. But they're in danger from themselves.
