On the way out of the PRNJ to Texas, Free America, my wife and I passed the “Welcome to Delaware” sign on the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I turned to her and said, “Well, now you don’t have to worry about bailing me out of jail.”
She gave me the pie-eyes and, of course, asked me what I was talking about.
I told her all about Gov. Flim-Flam Florio’s “Assault Weapon Ban” that had gone into effect back in 1990, specifically the ban on magazines able to hold more than 15 rounds of ammo. Naturally, she asked, “How many of those things do you have?”
I told her, “Sitting about 18 inches behind my rear end is something like 200 years’ worth in Rahway State Prison.” She turned white as a sheet, and (very uncharacteristically) said nothing for about 10-15 seconds. Then she asked, “They don’t have laws like that in Texas, do they?” I said, “No, Texas is in America.”
Phuck NJ and its nanny-state, unconstitutional gun laws. With a rusty chainsaw.
Love your point of view, love the way you handled it. It’s the exact same way my husband would deal with such a matter.
