I know that guy
State gun activist in the NYT. It’s actually a bit funny to me that the best quote they get for the anti-gun side is full of hysteria and falsity:
It opens the door to trouble. It’s giving you the right to be Wyatt Earp.
Yeah, it’s right there in the law. Subsection 13.a. mentions the right to be Wyatt Earp shall not be infringed.

Wyatt Earp believed in gun control. When cowboys came to his towns, they had to leave their guns at his marshall’s office. At least they could retrieve them on the way out, though.

“‘Guns and alcohol don’t mix; that’s the bottom line,’ said Michael Drescher, a spokesman for Governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, who vetoed the bill but was overridden by the legislature.”
Is that so, Cledus? If guns and alcohol do not mix, then why did the government put them in the same department?
“Mr. Gideon, who characterized his 19-gun collection as ‘serious,'”
Serious? If you are a 12 year old boy north of the Ohio 19 guns is serious. If you are older than a 12 year old boy then 19 gun collection is lame, as the kids say.

Heh.

…and live in NJ, NY, IL, MA, you’re lucky to be legally allowed to be in the same room as a gun.
Of course all those states are south of the Ohio, right?
Bless your heart, Shootin’ Buddy, you just can’t wrap your head around how anomalous Indiana’s gun laws are for far-off frozen cold north yankeeland.

Come on, Tam, I have 19 guns at the gunsmith and I’m not to blogmock some Jasper talking about his “serious” gun collection?
My nephews, all 12 and under, in PA, have 19 guns or more and they would call their collections a beginner’s kit.

It’s giving people the right to be law enforcement officers?
Huh.

Hey – as far as I know I can go down to the local Merchant’o’death, do the requisite paperwork, and buy 19 longarms straight-off with no particular effort here in NJ. My wife would then bludgeon me with one to death for doing so, however… (Note to Weer’d Beard and the Bradys – if I pistol-whip, bayonet, butt-stroke, or otherwise commit mayhem with a firearm that doesn’t involve putting my booger-hook on the bangstick and tightening; is that a “gun-death” or a gun death?)
Tam might not be allowed to be in the same room as them without supervision afterwards, admittedly. Arguably, I can’t touch my wife’s gun, except at the range under her supervision.
