AN ARMED SOCIETY IS A POLITE SOCIETY — THOUGH EVOLUTION IN ACTION, IF NOTHING ELSE: Point ’em out, knock ’em out’: Brutal game ends when assault victim fires his concealed handgun. “Last month, more than 400,000 adults could lawfully carry hidden handguns in Michigan. That’s one in 17 men and women 21 or older, more than since records have been kept. An MLive Media Group investigation found that crime numbers continue to drop across Michigan, even as police ranks decline. Some see the seemingly contradictory trends as proof the proliferation of concealed weapons is deterring lawbreakers.”

And if your teenager gets shot while carrying out this kind of assault? He deserved it, and you’re a bad parent for not raising him better. Don’t complain about the gun laws. Hide your face in shame.
