The fuse is REALLY long, as in if it gets down to the bottom it's probably because some other shit went down.
I don't know if I'd go as far as to call it rednecky. I mean I've got. . .3 if you count a shotgun that was my grandfathers and I'm fairly certain it's rusted to the point of technically being a club. But aside from going to the range I've never once left the house with one.
But someone did the math and once you factor out 9/11 toddlers are more dangerous to Americans than terrorists. Something is very wrong with that.
It's hard to fight battles you know aren't winnable and the right wing has no problem with using minorities as target practice or the occasional unnarmed minority we always had it coming.
I don't know that toddlers are the problem rather than irresponsible parents. I mean if anybody's baby was gonna shoot them right in the face, it'd be mine. She loves seeing me in pain. Consequently, aren't most of the toddlers with guns redneck toddlers? I feel like there's a lot of overlap...
I remember once somebody fucked me on a drug deal when I was living in the city and I was sitting in the car, waiting on him to get back with the product. He was a fairly trusted acquaintance, I was working at a Humana call center with him, we talked frequently at work, etc. It was a tiny deal. He owed me $60. He didn't return after a couple of minutes so I was like, "Fuck it, I'm going inside. Hand me my .22 from under the seat."
My friend laughed and I didn't get it. He apparently thought I was joking. And that was a culture shock for me. And when he found out I wasn't he got angry. He was like, "You are not going to shoot someone over $60."
Of course I wasn't. Who the fuck would? I just didn't want to go into an apartment full of junkies by myself, my tiny, tiny self, without something. No intention of using it. But city people are scared of guns.
Edit: The point of me saying this, because I realized that I didn't really state it, is that I think that that attitude would make them less likely to leave guns where kids can get them. They don't keep them in the cars and purses, but in their houses, locked up in a gun safe or whathaveyou.
