Monday Meanderings

Monday, October 27, 2008 Filed in: Current Events, Political Action

Someone recently speculated that if a certain "feel good" candidate is elected President, semi-automatic handguns would be the first things targeted for control. This would mean an increase in revolver sales (and, presumably, a corresponding increase in services to and for revolvers.) While I'm normally elated at the prospect of more people possessing the hallowed wheelgun, this is not the way I wish it to happen.

Gun sales are up on the prospects of the coming election. It would seem that people exercise their rights when others threaten to exorcise them.

To those patiently waiting: good news is coming, but not today. More to follow.

A boy attending a supervised machine gun shoot in Massachusetts (Massachusetts ?!?!?!) lost control of an Uzi and fatally shot himself in the head. A sad story, to be sure, but one which will no doubt be used to justify a call for increased restrictions on all autoloading firearms. (Read the comments at that site only if you have a strong stomach for stupidity.)

Which, unfortunately, brings us right back to where we started.
