[font="Verdana,Arial,Helv"]Y'know when the media/anti's/all the others who use this expression of "taking guns off the streets...", its time we force them to start talking in plain English and say what they mean.
This is a really good place to start.
All day today I went driving around this city looking for guns in the streets. I never did see one. Where is it that guns are in the streets? What city? If they're in the streets its finders keepers isn't it? They wouldn't call that stealing would they? (I'm using "they" as a generic "them" cited in the first paragraph. I'm not referring to an imaginary "they" as cited in the official state diagnostic manual for the psychiatric diagnosis of *psychosis* where the use of "they" and "them" without clear and proper They or Them is prohibited by law).
If there aren't guns on the streets then just where are "they" meaning when they say they want to take guns off the streets?
The "streets" is a public place. Lots of things you can't do "in the street" least you get yourself arrested (unless you live in a rural state on a dirt road where the neighbors won't see...).
So I was pondering on this while filling up the gas tank on the car (isn't is great that gas is only $2.50 a gallon again?) after driving around looking for guns on the streets.... and I had this thing....I think "they" call it an epiphany (revelation if you're Baptist) and there it was staring me in the face like a cop with a gun at midnight in a bad mood.
They don't mean "streets" at all.
When they say they want to take guns off the streets they really mean they want to take guns from your home. From your hands. And if you insist, from your cold dead hands.
Why don't they say what they mean?
And why don't we illustrate a wee bit o'literacy and call a spade a spade unless what we see is a f'ing shovel.
Here's another problem we solved by taking it off the streets...
