More on Guns in America
As I posted earlier, we don’t see this level of hostility and abject stupidity in any other country in the developed world.
Yet, keep in mind how Donald Trump would have been regarded in any other country in the developed world; he would have been laughed off the debate stage as the criminal conman that he so obviously is.
We stand alone in our ignorance and our hatred.
I was raised by fairly strict, and decidedly conservative parents, and my father carried (actually, flew) a weapon in World War II (a B-17) but he had no interest in guns and the like in peace time. I wish these kids had the same advantage.
Like you, my father was a US Army tank battalion commander in WW II, and always had his 45 under his pillow when he slept.
He taught me how to shoot safely, and totally respect firearms for what they are — a means of killing human beings, or used to hunt game to eat — period.
And never use them as is seen by the wing-nut type shown in the photo.
