I Am Pro-Musket

I like how the argument about gun control, which I think is largely fueled by silly crap politicians and some folks from the NRA say, has a bunch of outraged people shouting about their right to defend their homes and go hunting, when those of us who want slightly stricter laws and more education on gun safety don't actually give a damn about the rifles our reasonable friends have locked away in their offices or wherever. Grooooaaaaaan.

I also find the use of the second amendment and references to "our forefathers" in arguments about gun laws to be simultaneously amusing and annoying, mostly for the reasons outlined here:



If asked, I think my official stance on gun control is that I am pro-musket.

Ha, ha, I like that. I'm going to be pro-musket too. For the record, we're those people with hunting rifles sensibly locked up in the gun cabinet and I don't think anyone needs a handgun. And I don't like the annoying NRA. Pro-musket it is!
