I began my brief assault on local fauna at age 12, and I had taken four white-tailed deer, a couple of javelina and innumerable quail and dove by the time I got my drivers license at 16.
There are, today, few who hunt with handguns or assault rifles equipped with 100-clip magazines. There are even fewer reasons to do so. But the National Rifle Associations principal focus has evolved mostly to those.
Now, handguns excel at certain things. They are unequaled at killing people at close range: quite useful for law enforcement officers and drug dealers. Theyre genuine security in a drawer for those who have received unambiguous threats, like my friend Gabby Giffords. Theyre even a useful, if dubious, tool to defend yourself from murderers and rapists breaking in at 2 a.m.
Just days ago a dozen citizens were murdered and about five dozen plugged with slugs from a trinity of firearms. Setting aside the shotgun, it bears mentioning that the Glock and assault rifle James Holmes is suspected of firing in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater were being used for the purpose for which they were designed, manufactured and sold.
The NRA shills for gun makers who profit from the murder of American citizens. If you think the countrys policies are shaped by Judeo-Christian values, youre not paying attention.
