Re: They really are numbskulls

In Alberta in Canada in the early 80's it was quite normal to see a truck or 2 pulled up outside a bar, unlocked, keys in the ignition and a rack of rifles, sometimes as many as 5 or 6, behind the seats, And the owners in the bar drinking beer and more. no one paid it any attention. But there was never any gunfights or shoot-ups.
Which I suppose goes to suggest it's not the guns its the idiots holding them.

Yes, but we ARE talking about Americans here... or Texans in particuler.

Rifles in Alberta is one thing. Handguns and automatic weapons in TX is quite another. Canadians seem a largely content and peaceful people. Americans are scared and angry. It's the only way the Republican Party can survive. Do you have access to Fox News Channel over there? if not, look up Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and Tucker Carlson on YouTube. The last thing they want is for you to be content and peaceful.

That's the line that jumped out at me. I can't remember reading any stories of people defending themselves with a gun. Does it happen? There's certainly no mass shootings that I know of that were ended by armed citizens.

An online search works wonders:

It's obviously not but first thought was the background looked like a video that they had stuck the reporter in front of.

That older guy just wondering around could perfectly be replaced with the John Travolta confused meme.
