Yesterday, I answered a jury summons. After going through the rotations they use to thin the jury herd I was sent to the case where I would be part of the final cut for selection. It was for a school shooting that happened a while back. I wasn't selected but it boggles my mind this is even a discussion I could be part of.

Growing up it seemed like every family had a story of some kid relative who died from a gunshot wound... but it was 80% accident/carelessness and the occasional dumbfeckery that happens while hunting and farming... the rest was suicide and the rare homicide.

Now we settle disputes...
Most people who own an AR in this country can go to Piggly Wiggly and buy meat... I'm so over the I NEED it for hunting... and because I like to go hunting... and I'm a lazy@$$ wannabe hunter desiring to put the least amount of effort possible into the hunting experience.

The only time you NEED a weapon like that is when you are in a war zone.

On a global scale... there are fewer wars and more techno gadgetry doing the shooting in those wars and getting government contracts... I imagine it put a dent in sales to the small armaments biz... so now they have us at war with each other... to keep it rolling.
