Actually the whole wild west image with everyone wearing a pistol and carrying a rifle is a complete myth invented by Hollywood and the gun industry. Most pioneer families had one muzzle loading rifle between the bunch of them and they only fired it if they were pretty sure they could hit food. From what I've been able to gather the percentage of armed (like every cowboy in the movies) folks was probably lower than it is in your average American city. A single multi-shot rifle cost more than most people would earn in ten years. Not to mention the cost of a box of bullets was enough to buy a pig. Total fabrication to make sure our "right" to buy assault weapons isn't abrogated. One has to believe in the Judeo Christian pantheon to believe Shrub is Satan. He's the puppet head of a group of evil and perverted fuckers but he himself is just a sawed off little spoiled cunt. Though he's going to get right to the bottom of 9/11! He's gotten the most trusted man in America to head the investigation: H. Kissinger! And it's a damn good thing he's put that convicted felon Poindexter in charge of the SS, I mean, Department of Absolute and Complete Knowledge of Everything Anyone Does. I feel so much more secure than I did when it was just the lovely and caring John Ashcroft I had to worry about. 20 Quid, huh? Institute for Psychic Reform Change your Mind www.psychicreform.com
