Nerve Struck With Readers

A "nerve" apparently was "struck" with a few people who visited this site within the past couple of weeks. I never expected personal responses about the subject, or the subject matter, and it came as a surprise. To answer a question, yes, my comments are moderated. Also, one email address bounced back undeliverable. I have no problem with further internet discourse about this subject, (if you have contacted me about this subject, or are considering doing so, you know exactly to which I refer!!!) but please remember to be fair, and to be as kind as you can be, even if you are mad as hell. No one in cyberland, or in the real world, is perfect.

Publishing The Names And Addresses Of Gun Owners

A newspaper called the Journal News, in New York, has published the names and addresses of many of the Westchester and Rockland County gun owners in their paper. Readers were stunned to see this, and many people do not understand what the Journal News is trying to accomplish. The Second Amendment gives citizens in the United States the right to bear arms, and if a gun owner is on a public list of citizens who have purchased weapons legally, it naturally follows that the gun in question is owned legally. That said, why should anyone care if their neighbors own weapons or not? If the Journal News is trying to embarrass gun owners, they should save their ink. What they've actually done is inform the burglers, violent thugs, and the local Boogeyman about which houses are not armed, and made the occupants in those houses easy victims.

On a related note, there is a petition circulating the internet to garner signatures favoring the deportation of the CNN anchor, Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan will certainly have to do more than fill the air with words in order to be deported, but it might be effective, instead, to boycott the products advertised on CNN while Piers Morgan is voicing his silly and inexperienced opinion.

 

This is a homemade spud gun.
