I've spent the past week and a half trying to come up with a blog post in regards to gun control.
But it's just so damn hard to even find a starting place and like many of us - we've spent YEARS arguing the same old tired hashed out anti-gun control debates while trying to educate the uneducated. It's like arguing with poop flinging baboons, I show them a statistic and they come back with some sort of idiotic retort based on raw unintelligent emotion. Because their FEELINGS are somehow more important than FACTS.
Which they ain't.
But I kept typing, re-writing, throwing away, reading statistics, reading articles, recalling facts and figures and trying to make it into an civil post without telling the anti-gun liberal crowd to eat a bowl of unwashed dicks and drown in the milk afterwards.
Because I think we should try to be civil - there are a lot of people out there, who known little about shooting or gun culture, except what they've seen in movies. My wife was one of them, she went from inexperienced and uneducated to second amendment supporting gun bunny.
Except not the instagram kind who are borderline bimbo's with guns trying to get sponsored or attention.
(Nothing against them - cause Lord know's we shooters tend to be a bunch of mediocre looking trolls)
So it's that small glimmer of hope, that I've seen replicated on occasion, that makes me WANT to try and stay civil when debating gun control. In hopes that we can convert another to the righteous side of inalienable rights. Honestly, it does wonders to actually get these people out to the range, have them spend a day plinking and having fun and realize they aren't DEATH MACHINES OF MASS MURDER!!!
So I kept writing, then erasing my cleverly crafted insults, then writing again, then erasing, then more researching. And I kept recalling this post, from Larry Correria that went viral after the Sandy Hook shooting.
And decided screw it, why re-write Homer's Iliad?
And I HIGHLY recommend you read Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series, if you've ever watched a movie and thought you could solve that booger-monster problem with a 1911 and a couple of magazines without dropping your beer, these are the books for you. Buy his books, support a gun nerds habit.
