With all the talk lately about 26 states with “Stand Your Ground” laws, and Rick Santorum’s signing his three year old daughter Bella up for the NRA, bringing their number to 73,741, we think it’s time to celebrate one of the world’s most popular WMDs, the Kalashinikov — or as we call it here in the good old USA, the AK-47.
We are a country at war. All the time war. Our citizenry cherishes the right to bear arms. We are approximately 7% of the world’s population, but we can boast 20% of the world’s population in our jails. Except, in a few days, for George Zimmerman, whose appearance in court foreshadows his Turn and Run strategy in the Trayvon Martin case.
Because America so loves a war, a Russian friend of ours gave us the T-shirt pictured in this blog. We wanted you to see it before we shipped it off to California, which has an accidental “Stand Your Ground” law. Well, not exactly an accidental law because it has never been legislated. But it was ordered, more than a century ago, by court decree.
