Gun Control ... Thx Keith B and Sarah R!

Gun Control
To:

 

On Friday, July 14, 2017 

Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06 right in the doorway. I left 6  cartridges beside it, then left it all alone and went about my  business. 

 

 

While I was gone, the  mailman delivered my mail, a neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard,  a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the  stop sign near the front of my house. 

 

 

After about an hour, I  checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it.  It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with  the numerous opportunities it had presented to do so. 

 

 

In fact, it hadn't  even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by  the Left and the Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill  people. 

 

 

Either the media is  wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun on earth. 

 

 

The United States is  3rd in Murders throughout the World. But if you take out just 4 cities:  Chicago, Detroit, Washington, DC and New Orleans, the United States is 4th  from the bottom, in the entire world, for Murders. 

 

 

These 4 Cities also  have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S. 

 

 

ALL 4 of these cities  are controlled by Democrats. 

 

 

It would be absurd to  draw any conclusions from this data - right? 

 

 

Well, I'm off to check  on my spoons. I hear they're making people  fat.
