A professor of anthropology from Dartmouth College claims the mere presence of a gun, especially if one makes physical contact with it, can transform a good person into a bad one.
Chelsey Kivland, who studies “street politics, insecurity, and social performance in contemporary urban Haiti,” makes use of an anecdote from that country in the Pacific Standard to establish a larger point about firearms: Three individuals who had owned a certain Smith & Wesson .38 Special all ended up being shot and killed … and not by that particular gun.
Community members attributed the deaths to “maji” — magic — which in Haiti means “an unethical use of spiritual power.”
“To many,” Kivland writes, “the men died because the occult forces they had been using for unethical gain had ultimately turned against them—opening them up to conflict and failing to protect them.”

Judas Priest. The stupid. It burns.
The “magic” of leftist BS ideology does it much better, especially to gullible college students.

I must be truly evil not only having touched firearms, but fired a **** about 50 years ago in **** at **** And furthermore up until my boat sunk (I can’t for the life of me remember why I stored all of my firearms on my boat other than I ran out of space in my house) I would practice at the range several times a year to keep the evil fresh

”Three individuals who had owned a certain Smith & Wesson .38 Special all ended up being shot and killed … and not by that particular gun”
Sounds like the “Dead Man’s Gun” TV Western series.
We all need to make sure we don’t have the same “cursed” Smith & Wesson .38 Special model.

“It’s f***ing voodoo magic mon, ahahaha!”
This goof would lose his mind in a Texas gun store.
Chelsey Kivland is a moron.
I live in Maine, which has one of the highest per capita rates of gun ownership of any American state. Concealed carry, open carry, Constitutional carry, private sales of firearms, etc.
In Chelsey Kivland’s la la world, Maine would be the most violent state in America.
But in reality, Maine has the lowest crime rate of any American state.
Maine being 96% white probably plays a factor in that statistic, but still.....
