Yes. Very interesting and a useful caution when next hearing about how we value human life so much, unlike those in whose countries our armies are (on occasion) killing people, such as in Afghanistan recently from where it was reported that 20 odd children were killed in a single drone attack.
Yoko Ono said something along the lines that over 1,000,000 had been killed by guns since JL was shot.
We narrowly escaped the trap you are caught in. How narrowly was shown yesterday when a member of parliament from the Shooters and Fishers Party was saying we should fight our gun control legislation, as should you. He was pictured with a very brown and large African elephant he had shot. I hope we see that photo again during the election. But who knows, shooting is fun and the bigger the animal the more fun it might be.
I grew up in a more or less typical deluded rich and unhappy family and recall clearly when, aged around 10, I said to the manager who was showing us around 'Can you shoot that emu?' He replied 'You are a bloodthirsty little thing, aren't you?' And then he shot it for me. I remember it clearly and painfully to this day.
Assault weapons? Why stop there? Freedom is freedom. Too stupid for words.
