Playing The Odds

A point worth mentioning. Guns and ammo are expensive. Ammo arguably more so. You can easily burn through a few hundred bucks in an afternoon at the range.

Today is Gun Appreciation Day: a day when people of modest means will spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on more guns for their personal arsenal because they believe, no – they know – that there is a greater chance that the government will be coming after them for some reason or another than there is a chance that their kids might need that money to go to college someday.

This is why we can’t have a nice country.
