Also, Mr. Green being an eight time felon was breaking the law by even possessing a gun, so there you have it, criminals don't obey gun laws. Whoda thunkit!

Somewhere between when I was 15 and 20 years old the country a group of folks started paying for a legal history scholars to write scholarly articles creating gun rights that didn't exist in our nation, laws that protected manufacturers from any reckoning with societal harm (even when the manufacturers recognized the societal harm), altering the historical meaning of words to fit the narrative, and we've created this mythic past where we were all self-reliant pioneer gunslingers until magically civilization appeared and then we all toted guns forever until the terrible east coast snotty arrogant liberals showed up trying to take all our guns away.

Nowadays we niche market small pink guns to women. The public becomes convinced that the Federal government is going to invade or the sh!t hits the fan is imminent and they must be armed to the teeth and ready for the zombie apocalypse. Keep up those perishable skills. And somehow all our bigotry, fear, and anger combined with the painful crushing of the American dream to deliver us to Trumpian characters, fomenting chaos - stand ready like the minute men - CIVIL WAR! It's not happening fast enough so let's speed it up!
