The Guns of Summer

Wayne LaPierre has to be one of the world's most despicable creatures.

I do not know, Mr. LaPierre, so his puppets might take umbrage at my characterization. However, there is abundant evidence that he is a liar, and it doesn't take long to dig it up.

He rails on about a police state, but it is the police in suburban Boston who captured the Tsarnaev brothers. The citizens Mr. LaPierre suggests will make us safer were asked to stay indoors. Mr. LaPierre and his fans insist that the citizens were on mandatory lockdown, but review the tapes. People were asked to remain indoors, so the police could hunt the killers down. Mr. LaPierre knows he is a liar, but the people in his world do not check, or recognize, facts. They believe him as he lies, and he know they believe him blindly, but he lies anyway. Where I come from, this is not good. He is a liar.

It doesn't take much common sense to realize that guns kill people. So do cars. So do knives, So can a hammer. These do have other purposes, of course, and to those who claim that guns do as well, and say that they are for protection, then we might as well claim the car exists in order to be washed, the knife to clean fingernails, and the hammer to gain the attention of sleepy students.
