Asked why he kept a loaded gun in the house, Heston admitted he'd never been a victim of crime or been threatened. "Why do you have it loaded if you're not afraid of anything?" Moore asked. "Because the Second Amendment gives me the right to have it." The conversation went around in circles.

"Why do you have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen, if you've never had a kitchen fire?" "Why do you wear a seatbelt while driving, if you've never been in an accident?"

The list of this sort of questions can go on and on... Interesting how a writer can ignore the obvious when they're writing a propaganda piece.

Bingo. As someone who's experienced kitchen fires and auto collisions, and was ready for them, I also intend to be ready when/if someone comes to do harm to me and/or take my stuff. But if I was a criminal, I'd be looking at Larda** Moore's house, now that I know his only weapon isn't loaded.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I was visiting the South Rim of the Grand Canyon a few years ago, and to my surprise noticed that a high overhanging lookout point had NO guardrails. I asked the ranger about it, and he said "well we used to have guardrails, but no one fell off so we took them down."
