Here's an idea: Let's hold an election party at a gunrange

Alabama Republicans plan to hold their election night party at a gun range, where participants will be able to shoot a few rounds as returns come in.
The state Republican Party is inviting supporters to the 52,000-square-foot Hoover Tactical Firearms for a "victory party" Tuesday night.

The suburban Birmingham business sells firearms and it has ranges where people can shoot their own guns or guns that are available for rent.

A party announcement says the shooting ranges will be available for two hours during the election event. There will also be a band and an appearance by Miss Alabama.

anti-gun person, so I'm appalled.

I recognize that sensible supporters of gun rights may think having an election party at a gun range isn't such a bad idea. I would not attend such a party myself.

Think of all the money we'll save on silhouette targets.

I kid.

Seriously though which brain trust came up with this idea? Surely there's no way this could end up badly.
