Packing Heat, and Posting Up
SUPPOSE FOR A MOMENT THAT American conservatives have a valid point, if that's even possible, and that it would be a peachy idea for all good Americans to go out into the public arena packing heat, aka handguns, carried, concealed...or not. (they can't seem to decide which is best, which in itself is alarming). We are told that so doing would bring comfort to us all, and absolute deterrence to the bad guys, the would be mass shooters. But one quick question: in order to benefit from this anti-Earpian (Wyatt never cottoned to non professionals goin' heals (carrying a gun on one's hip)) arrangement, wouldn't it help, indeed, wouldn't it be necessary, for all the good people gathering together to know whether, and if so, which other ones..in any given public venue....were actually carrying? Remember, its all about feeling safe. And then too, if Joe mass murdered happens to stroll in, looking to spray lead, don't we need to deter him right off the bat, before he even gets started, by letting him or he know, in no uncertain terms, that the room is full of uninfringed gun slingers, ready to kill? Therefore I propose a new American institution, the, let us say, "gun list", to be stationed at the front door of every public place, from library, to restaurant, to football stadium, to church - which those enter may state their status by signature: a checkmark in the "carrying" column if it applies, and one in the "unarmed and therefore soon to be dead" (acceding to conservative thinking) column. Completely voluntary of course. not required. Just an opportunity to "show 'em what's what. Just a checkmark, and we all know where we and the rest of stand. If you think that's crazy, think again. It aint no crazier than one hundred American arrogant angry fruitcakes constantly packing, tailgaiting, being tailgated, and packing heat..... it aint no crazier than thinking the super well armed public solution is going to actually work, and it might just be the antidote that we most need to all this sudden craziness in mainstream American discourse.
