Certainly evidence that some people deserve a good solid mule-kick, anyway...

It's the Tom Mix Memorial.

It's been shot by people that should not have firearms.

If it had been in the shape of a turkey or a deer, I might begin to comprehend it, but a horse? What kind of a prick shoots a healthy horse?

Maybe these people wouldn't shoot things up so much if they watched more porn.

some of our road signs in the more remote areas, some are shot to hell. This is just plain stupid.

I'm sure you'll have no problem finding signs of all that racist gun owner activity you see in your fevered imagination. And then there's always Photoshop.

Ummm, there are no examples of Obama pictures being shot up by anyone.

You pulled that totally out of your ass as if it was real and now you tell us we're in denial over your sick and overactive imagination?

Wow, you live an active and totally unsupported fantasy life Hoyt.

But ... since all you do is sit and post the same crap over and over, make ridiculous claims about what you do to confront gun owners, but do nothing to actually change Georgia gun laws except BS online, it's safe to treat you as a source of occasional pointless humor and give you all the credibility you deserve.

jacked up truck driving around town with a bunch of NRA stickers on it with this one too...
"Don't blame Me, I voted for the White Guy".

Like to see it driving around some big urban city.


Note, most NRA members are not racist. Most racist are NRA members or supporters.

Through the windshield of a car speeding down Arizona 79, the small monument
tugs at the edge of your vision, a stumpy mortared-cobblestone pile surmounted
by a two-foot-tall metal horse, its head sagging morosely, reins loose.

At this point you are motoring 20 miles south of Florence, rapidly leaving one clump
of humanity and aiming for another, so you may simply rush on by Tony the Riderless Horse.
Unless you are an old-movie fan, even stopping might not enlighten you,
since the bullet-dented marker isn't very specific:

I'll have to look for that the next time I'm in the area. Maybe look into organising some repair work.

Thanks for looking at it with an open perspective and not categorizing all gun owners as the problem. The individual(s) that did this are CLEARLY representative of ALL gun owners and we all should be punished, right?
