The Most Revolting Press Conference In History

82. In this way, I WOULD LIKE MY OLD COUNTRY BACK.

Where I grew up people who even joked the way today's NRA talked were pretty much shunned as the weirdos they are.

By the farmers, by the shopkeepers, by the HUNTERS for crissakes. By died in the wool lifelong Republicans even.

*Everyone* knew those couple weirdos who drooled about guns were likely bad news and you should just stay away from them.

Course, that was the WW II generation running the show. They'd seen plenty of what guns do, the fascination and thrill of killing was gone, and they wanted no part of it anymore.

I remember going to Texas in 1990 and feeling very disturbed about people had to be TOLD using a posted sign that guns shouldn't be in a hospital or church. Seemed like common sense.

Well my midwestern sense of superiority wasn't long lasting. My home state now has the same law. Guns allowed UNLESS prohibited by posted signage.

What is the opposite of progress again?
