Of course the second amendment gives everyone the right to be armed to the hilt and then the next logical step is to shoot at anyone at all that makes you feel uneasy. I mean, these kids were in his driveway, for pete's sake. If that's not the prelude to a home invasion, then what would be?
Sarcasm guys, sarcasm.
But this man's behavior is the absolute logical outcome of the drumbeat of the NRA about how everyone must be armed and ready to defend oneself at any moment. 30 people a day. 30 people a day on average are killed by guns in this country. The gun apologists think that's a perfectly reasonable price to pay. Personally, I don't.
