So much to appreciate here…
- Pointing out both sides use fear to promote their agenda — one of my BIGGEST complaints with our political system.
- Showing the irony in calling the government the evil tyrant that we must protect ourselves from and then applauding the government for being the good guys.
- Pointing out that there’s no way to always know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are — and if they’ll always stay that way.
- And pointing out that if a good guy becomes a bad guy (as sometimes happens) in the NRA’s mindset, you’ve already given them a gun.
A co-worker pointed out last week that if the real reason we need guns is to protect us from the evil tyrant of a government – he wants an F-16. Because an AR-15 isn’t going to protect him from the largest military in the world.
I agree.
Seems we’re going to either really have to up our own personal weapons arsenal – or drastically downgrade the U.S. military.

Also – for some additional fun, The Daily Show came to Dallas this past week to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
The clincher line – “They do the jobs we don’t want to do, staying sober and staying politically engaged.”
