- Tyler was telling his co-worker something he learned at the police station concerning the officers' guns by starting, "I've been around guns a lot and..." His co-worker stopped him and said something like, "but aren't you really religious?" The point being that religious people shouldn't like guns and all be pacifists.
- I read a lady's blog who lives in Texas and she wrote about her daughter's Veteran's Day Pageant at school. She said something like, "I'm sure you can all guess about my political leanings: I live in Texas and my husband owns a lot of guns." She went on to say something like, "I am conservative therefore I love my country." She went on with a heavy subtext that if you believe otherwise, politically speaking, you do not love your country.
Why are the most conservative states the fattest? Why are the most liberal people the stingiest when it comes to charity (which I can't find a map to back up, but I swear I've seen this on the news). I really don't know.

Interesting points to ponder. I think sometimes there is the element that it's a slippery slope from food storage to owning guns to protect said food storage. Which terrifies me as well as makes me laugh.
Good questions. I have no answers just another question. Why is the NRA so influential in politics?
I am going to answer all your questions in proof format, but i don't have time right now. I have to study for my strategies of proof class... It will start like this
"Liberals are stingier than republicans when donating to charity because they are poorer than republicans"
Proof: "Let john be an arbitrary liberal, and mark be an arbitrary conservative..." and it ends with "since john and mark were both arbitrary, i have proved all liberals are stingier than republicans when it comes to donating to charity." QED
I also wanted to say something about the relationship between owning guns and being conservative. Owning guns and being conservative is a conditional, not biconditional, relationship. If you are conservative you are probably down with (and maybe own) guns. But it doesn't go both ways. Like: If its snowing then its cold... but just because its cold it doesn't mean its snowing...............
And therefore the lady in Texas is retarded. QED.
