What part of hell, no, do you
not understand?
"In Connecticut, the boneheaded state government passed a law
demanding the registration of certain firearms, and the people of Connecticut,
perhaps communing for a moment with their independent-minded Yankee forebears,
mainly refused to comply. On the other side of the country in the heart of
California’s technology corridor, the city of Sunnyvale demanded that residents
hand over all firearms capable of accepting magazines holding more than ten
rounds — effectively, everything except revolvers and some single-shot rifles —
and the good men and women of Silicon Valley responded by turning in a grand
total of zero firearms. Similar initiatives in other jurisdictions have
produced similar results."

"The horror at 'gun culture' is about the culture — rural,
conservative, traditionalist, patriotic, self-reliant or at least aspiring to
self-reliance — much more than it is about the guns. It’s the same sort of
dynamic that gets people worked up about Confederate flags or poor white people
with diabetes who shop at Walmart."
