I received an email from someone asking my position on gun control since I had skipped over that one in my position statement the other day. I replied that in my opinion, people should keep very careful control over their guns. Furthermore, if they want to wear short-sleeved shirts, that is their business!

You know!! Keep and “bear” arms….bear or bare arms as in not clothed…

Oh, never mind.

I absolutely believe that Americans have the right to arm themselves to the teeth if they want to and the second amendment to the US Constitution says it right there, plain as day. I don’t see what the controversy is. The other two versions I created clearly show that you can still buy cars and Nordic Tracks and use them pretty much anyway you want to. Frankly, we should keep better control of our automobiles and Nordic Tracks should be outlawed altogether.

The FOUNDING FATHERS gave the reason for the right to have assault rifles, but they clearly did not make the reason a requirement.

They did not make the reason a requirement.

I can have guns without belonging to a militia just as I can have a car and use it to go see Neal Diamond live at ARCO Arena. I can make payments of $59.95 every month for thirty-six months while I hang my shirts for work on my Nordic Track.

Does that make sense?

For the record, I don’t have any guns and this former Marine, if he had a magic wand, would wave it and make all of them disappear. Guns may not kill people, but people kill other people a lot more efficiently with guns.

But there are no magic wands, so there you go.

Just watch where you point that thing!
