About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Can't Wait For That All Under The Age Of 14 Militia Coming To A Town Near You

And when you thought people couldn't get any more ignorant, 
here comes the 
"Iowa Lawmakers, (Who) Approve Bill That Would Let Kids Have Handguns." By Kim Bellware for The Huffington Post.
I thought
Texas
had a bunch of 
Jackasses  
for 
Lawmakers,
"Texas 'open carry' law passes, allowing guns in holsters on the street." The Guardian.
"Texas lawmakers approved carrying handguns openly on the streets of the nation’s second most populous state on Friday, sending the bill to the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it and reverse a ban dating to the post-civil war era."
I'm sure all 
Iowans 
were so upset by 
Texas 
beating them out on the 
"Open Carry Law,"
that the only thing they could think of to do,
to be ahead of them in ignorance was to 
"Give Guns To Children."
"Children of all ages in Iowa would be able to lay down their toy guns and pick up the real thing under a bill that passed the state House of Representatives. Statehouse Republicans, including the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jake Highfill, said the the legislation was an issue of parents' rights designed to correct "an injustice in Iowa code” that now forbids children 14 and younger from handling pistols. Allowing people to learn at a young age the respect that a gun commands is one of the most important things you can do,” Highfill told The Washington Post on Wednesday. The alternative, he said, is “turning 18 with no experience.”
Turning 18 with no experience is a bad thing
If we only had a system that could teach someone how to handle a gun?
I know that setting up 
Classes 
at a 
Firing Range 
with 
Professionally Trained Marksman 
to teach people, 
Under Age,
how to handle a firearm, 
would be insane if we didn't have these moronic 
Laws.
But couldn't the 
Law 
have specified,
before a youth was allowed to have a pistol,
even under parental supervision,
he would have to have these 
Classes With A Professional
and then be 
Certified 
before he got a gun?
If you ask me,
most parents don't know how to handle a gun.
I already know a lot of grownups who carried guns
and they didn't have a clue on the safety issue.
If some of them weren't in jail already
and the other half dead from self inflicted wounds,
I wouldn't want their children carrying guns around if they had been taught by their foolish parents who thought it was cool just to carry one!

If you are thinking of getting a gun,
check these websites out 
and maybe we will have one less accidental shooting.

This is,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.” 

- P.G. Wodehouse -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
