65. Piffle.

According to the NRA apologists and the Gungeoneers, these numbers are nothing. A drop in the hat. Less than measurable on the "rights vs. tyranny" scale. It's a small price to pay for our God-given freedom to own as many guns as we like, and keep them all a secret from the government and each other.

What we really need, they say, are more gunz for more people, and absolutely no regulation. A large part of our population is comprised of a "well regulated" militia, and they ALL need to have guns to protect us when the Commies and Muslims invade our shores. A side benefit is, that when our Democracy allows tyranny to show its ugly face, our "well regulated" militia will be our first line of defense, and those US military members who stand with the government will be taken out in a heartbeat.

According to the very knowledgeable Gungeoneers, we should be thankful for the protection of our basic freedoms provided by the noble NRA, and for the wisdom they exhibit in all things related to the Second Amendment. Without their guidance and coaching, we could very easily fall prey to the media-driven fallacy that the proliferation of guns in this nation is somehow a "bad" thing. Nothing could be further from the truth, and it is, in reality, cars and swimming pools that we should regulate and ban. They are the real killers in this nation.

I, for one, am very grateful that the NRA apologists and Gungeoneers have given me a new perspective on the many benefits of gun ownership, and how we would not be free today if it weren't for their efforts on our behalf.

On behalf of a grateful nation, I salute all gunners for a job well done, and the few paltry deaths and injuries from "friendly fire" are to be expected.
