Why I don't own a gun
Speaking of
hardwired responses to fireworks....
Some big booms are happening in the neighborhood right now. My hardwired response is not to crawl under the bed. My hardwired response is to
KILL THE FUCKING ASSHOLE.
If I owned a gun I would go out and find the asshole and
KILL THE ASSHOLE. Civilization would gain hugely from the deletion of a noisy asshole, but I would end up in prison for an
unnecessary act of justice.
Nature takes care of assholes pretty well.
So I don't own a gun.
Incidentally, the
Darwin Awards website has come back to life after several years of dormancy. Good reading.
