I wanted to title this thread, "Look at these fucking clowns!" but was trying to be more diplomatic. In the end I was full of myself at 1:00am and ticked you into reading my thinly disguised rant.

Just happy you didn't go all Norsemen on us.

Ah yes. The press goes out of their way to portray gun rights activists as crazy, and Irving blames the gun rights activists instead of the agenda-driven press.

How far out of their way do you think the press had to go to make those guys look bad? That's my point. Why hand it to them?

From Jefferson, Missouri to Houston, Texas apparently.

According to Google Maps, that's a distance of 788 miles/11 hours 55 minutes.

So, pretty damned far out of their way.

There has to be a modern, urban/suburban variation on the old Fudd ... upper middle class yuppies that object to "rednecks" owning guns;

"If you're going to own a gun, make sure you're never seen in anything less than khakis, a polo shirt and oxfords or you're feeding the negative stereotype of gun owners as working class."

"Oh my God, Chad, They're showing pictures of gun owners that drive pickups and wear trucker hats unironically! Those rednecks are going to make us look bad!"

I believe they are called NRA board members.
