The perfectly rational posts on this string so far i think miss the point of this story, which is that it reveals the Times’ view of (a) flyover country in general and (b) the barbarians who reside there and want to shoot automatic weapons, pay scantily clad women who walk around in tights and (c) would, if they could, drink while they were shooting. The people who’ve posted thus far have just commented on the weapons used — as if that were a reasonable discussion to have. It is, of course, but from the perspective of the New York Times and the vast majority of its readers, these comments only reveal how backward and benighted we all are.
I’d rather play Hunting for Bambi if I had the money. huntingforbambi.com
