   ‘Tis the rub. Yes “assault rifles” are semi-auto. but all semi-autos are NOT “assault rifles”.People who know what they are talking about should stop using the term “assault rifle” as if it were real. Since they do not exist stop referring to them. Ditto calling semi-autos “automatics”. Yes, they are automatic LOADERS but they are not automatic FIRERS. Finally, CLIPS are arcane and have a specific set of capabilities that separate them from MAGAZINES. I’m told that is being petty and that words don’t matter. Unfortunately words do matter quite literally to the otherwise ignorant. The cavalier use of words perpetuates ignorance. Thus we get “if you like your health insurance you can keep it”. Sort of.

   The Supremes took care of that “militia” canard a long time ago. But I do like what the Swiss do. And when was the last time Switzerland was attacked by anyone? Even Hitler left them alone (though probably for more base reasons).

   Real hunters don’t shoot Bambi’s. Besides being generally illegal to shoot juvenile animals of most any species real hunters want Bambi to grow up so they can shoot her later! And if you think hunting is so easy you have obviously never hunted. Also, more than one “hunter” gets gored each season by some buck who objects to a human getting between him and his lover (although deer – and most other “animals” – don’t ask before they mount that doe for a romp in the woods).

   You are aware that everything in Wikipedia is whatever some self-proclaimed “expert” says it is? Wikipedia is NOT the end all authoritative source for much of anything.

   An awful lot of people would be shocked to find out most of the bullet hits and even sounds and flame in movies is from a computer (CGI). But some people will believe anything if they “see” it.

    Yes, just a comic strip. Unfortunately way too many people get their “information” from newspapers, including “comics”. We had a letter to the editor locally some weeks ago that said self-defense shootings don’t happen because they would all be printed in the local paper if they did. A rebuttal listing sixteen such events in the previous months from news outlets across America was not deemed worthy of being printed, however. That person blissfully believes she is right. And she will look at that “comic” as reinforcement of her beliefs.Comics are supposed to be “funny”. I did not see anything funny about this one. Of course, I don’t find much funny about so-called “political cartoons” that lampoon people (usually politicians) for their beliefs either. Regardless of your leanings I think most of them are just plain mean-spirited. And we wonder why our society has become so violent and polarized.
