I got to thinking yesterday, while at the Sportsmen's show...

Here you have a crowd of tens of thousands of people, many of whom are armed; and firearms, ammunition, knives, swords, crossbows, etc and etc, are being sold all over the place. They're also selling alcohol, at the same time.

Security for this event was so light as to be almost unnoticeable. I saw two uniformed state troopers in the 4 hours I was there, and they were running an info booth.

And there was not a single problem that I witnessed. I heard not one ill word spoken. No shoving or pushing in the thick crowds.

Now, if you took a poll of that crowd, I imagine you'd probably find that it was comprised overwhelmingly of white christian republicans of middling income and education.

Don't call these people cretins. These are the people I want to share a nation with.

I consider anyone a cretin who bases his political opinions on what some politician says what God wants. Nothing wrong about being spiritual or even religious.

The fact that the people at the show were most likely Christians has nothing to do with it. I can't believe you are falling into the same shit-hole of assumptions. Are you saying that if the show was comprised of Jews or Buddhists or Atheists that there would be killing and riots?

More likely the people at the show were well versed and used these weapons and had an understanding and respect for their proper use.
