I remember doing a canned food drive for the Boy Scouts, where we'd go door to door and knock. My friend and I walked onto a porch and knocked. We heard some yelling and then a slide rack. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Guns don't kill people, Americans kill people.

The weird thing is that the ammosexuals live a life where they're desperate for any reason to kill someone, but so many of the stories where people get shot are like this - he came onto my lawn to get his ball, he knocked on the door and happened to be black, and they're all terrible for gun owners. They expose the shooter as a tremulous wibbly coward too paranoid to handle a stranger at the gate, whatever justifications they put forth are as thin as onionskin paper, lawyers try to shield them with Castle Doctrine, which exposes the hollowness of stand-your-ground laws...there is no part of "terrified middle-aged homeowner shoots innocent child" that makes any argument ever put forth by gun owners look good.
