4th of July

For the first time in years, I celebrated the American Independence holiday.

Of course, in Texas, there’s no better way to celebrate the ideals of a people than by exercising one’s second amendment rights for a few hours.

Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol, Heckler & Koch 45 caliber handgun

These were but two of the finely crafted firearms I was privileged to wield. The only tragedy occurred when a typical Houston monsoon blew in and flooded the entire gun club in under 15 minutes of rain which prevented us from getting around to the Kalashnikov as grand finale.

Later, the sun came back while we were seeking refuge in a Mexican restaurant, like animals on the Ark. A short visit to a friend trapped in his home and then, afterward, came the 21-hour BBQ and hands-on fireworks extravaganza (replete with accidental explosion) in the backyard of a good friend.

Yeehaw!

    I’ve not heard anyone propose banning guns, so you’re still safe. Keep that tin-foil hat buttoned on and wave that flag!

    Fascism with a smile, clearly you’re missing the signs. Unarmed citizens are victims. An armed society is a polite society. My simplest explanation for low crime in Switzerland. Gotta love the Swiss Militia.

    Okay. You’ll need to read about what fascism is before you use the word further. I might also suggest you visit Switzerland for a fair amount of time to learn more of the reality of how society functions there, first hand so as to avoid mistaking it. Let’s keep things on topic and avoid this silliness, mmmkay? Thanks for visiting.
