An Open Letter To The Idiot Nation
I saw this link on Balloon Juice from Stonekettle Station. It is a thing of beauty:
You were both trained by the military, I know you both, Ive shot alongside you, youve shot on my range under my command, and neither one of you would have allowed an unqualified or unstable individual anywhere near a gun. But now? Now you send me an endless stream of hysterical NRA bullshit squawking about how anybody should be allowed to own whatever gun he wants without so much as a background check?
