The American gun culture is above all a celebration of our exceptional violent nature
Watching the local Texas news cover the Bring your Assault Rifle to the Alamo rally, billed by Texas Republicans running for statewide office as “A rally to get Americans used to seeing armed citizens” I got to thinking about Tom and Molly pictured here with there AR15 assault rifles with 40 round clips. What are the first things that come to mind?
Gosh, would I like to be friends with those people!
Boy would I like my kids doing an overnighter at their house!
Now there are a couple people I would like to have as employees!
I wish they were in the next cubicle to me!
Leave their phone number, good babysitting material!
I am glad to have their names as references on my resume!
Now there are some level headed people to have an intelligent discussion with!
I need to give them a call to help me with my community organizing in the 4th ward!
They are first on my invite list to come to my jello shot party!
Let’s do lunch!
It is that last one that is the basis of this matter, how it all began.
A couple of these NRA gun enthusiasts took their assault rifles to hang out, frighten and annoy morning coffee drinkers at a San Antonio Starbucks. A few patrons complained and the Starbucks manager asked them to leave. They refused, the police were called and they finally left. But of course the NRA, Glenn Beck, Ted Nugent, Alec Jones and company railed across the Texas AM dial and soon NRA gun enthusiasts began taking their assault rifles to Starbucks all across Texas. The politics of this is they want to pass a law to open carry their handguns along with their assault rifles. In not only coffee shops but bars and sports arenas. These are very angry, mad and upset people who are obviously not the smartest guns in the rack, and there is nothing more fun than an angry, mad, upset nitwit with an assault rife and a couple 40 round clips. Well here in Texas anyway.
Those who really really want a gun are the very ones who should really really not be able to get a gun
