Don’t shoot people for what they draw, write or say, no excuses, well, unless they say DEATH TO AMERICANS in Pakistan anyway, if it is done by a heroic robot rather than a heroic sniper. Which begs the question who is more heroic, those who shoot people having coffee a half a mile away who don’t see it coming or those who sit in a basement bunker and shoot people from a flying robot 1000 miles away who don’t see it coming? I know, tough call. Remember BIll Maher got fired from ABC over that question, so shhhh….
The story here then shifts from Texas religious violence to Texas gun enthusiasm where it is accepted doctrine that we shoot our troops if they say they are going to take your guns away. Of course those old questions I have been asking here about this for some 20 years come to mind?
How far to you lead an F14 with a pistol? What kind of ammo does one need for that AR15 to penetrate a Bradley tank? Can that shotgun bring down a Cruise Missile? And even with a scope and a nice 50 cal can it pierce the hull of a Destroyer? Oh, and what about those B52’s?
I wonder if Governor Abbott playing to the Lone Star Lunatics has thought this out properly? Even if we ignore the tanks, fighter jets, bombers, battleships, tanks, missiles and drones, how do you think a few gun enthusiasts holed up in their bedrooms will fair with a pod of Navy Seals at the front door and a squad of Green Berets at the back door? I suggest Walmart move the DEPENDS over near the ammo isle.
And you know the saddest part of all this – whether it be bigot Ruben Israel, bigot Pamela Geller, or our Lone Star Lunatic gun nuts – just a little scratch on the surface finds the Christian behind all this crap. And that’s what gets my goat. Instead of putting the brakes on the violent intolerant bigoted ignorant hate filled mob, American Christianity puts the gas pedal to the floor.
