Business as usual

Shooting mega-store Cheaper Than Dirt just announced they will resume online gun sales.

Typical responses from their outraged clientele:

Davidson’s Gallery of Guns, which never even paused in their effort to serve the buying stampede, posted this notice on their website today:

I cannot even begin to imagine the kind of core-deep mental rot, the kind of pure, all-encompassing sickness, that would be required to respond to this tragedy with “Gotta buy mah gunz b’fore Obammy takes ‘em”. What it must be like to live a life that is filled, constantly and completely, with an all-encompassing fear of The Gub’Mint™ coming to disarm you.

As if your guns would do you any good at all when they just roll a tank through your front door and tell you to drop it.

It is a uniquely American illness to simultaneously live in fear of some great dark Tyranny™, and believe that there is even a single thing you could do about it if the US government actually did want to oppress you.
