In response to this story about the federal useless Dept. of Education purchasing Remington 870 shotguns (in a barrel length that would be illegal for me), Derek Crane tries his own bit of doggerel:
I reminded of a wonderful op-ed by Walter William years ago about the proliferation of SWAT-type teams in DC. And this was before Sept. 11. He mentioned that there were dozens of them, including a team for the Dept. of Commerce. Dept. of Commerce?
It's like Say's law, supply creates its own demand. With all these guys trained in the military for killing, it's not an easy prospect for them to re-join the civilian world. Better to hang out with other gung-ho types with all the tats and bulging biceps and handle guns.
Does anyone stop to think whom they're ready to shoot now?
What do you think? I like it.Gun-free zones for thee.
12 Gauge shotguns for me.
