Stupid Human Tricks

shipperxSo on top of all the other stuff going on in my subdivision:
the litigious threat problem
someone died this weekend (she'd had a hospice nurse for the last five months, so this wasn't anything shocking or suspicious, just sad).
the widening of the highway that borders the subdivision (and whether ALDOT will condemn our buffer zone. They say not, but they're also being clear as mud about it.)
There have been opportunistic break-ins of cars in driveways (discussed with the sheriff at the same time as discussing 'the crank'. Sheriff office says it's been happening all over the county, so it's not our area specific.) Anyway, turns out that one of the cars that was broken into had two guns stolen out of it.
Bet the guy had guns in there for teh freedomz protection.
Wonder how 'protected' he feels now, knowing that criminals had them in his front yard.* (For all I know, he's one of the ones who fantasizes that he's Bruce Willis and he'd be the 'good guy' with a gun against the bad guy with a gun... except of course the bad guy just took two of his guns...)
* This irritated thought brought to you after having read the idiotic comments left in an article about Starbucks requesting that people please, please not bring guns into their business. Please...
People's gunfetishes love totally baffle me because more and more people seem to be irrational about them. (I read another article this morning about a legislator in Oklahoma wanting to launch a state investigation re: public ammunition shortages [insert his Obama conspiracy theory here] because, apparently he was told by a Walmart employee that they were in such short supply that they were only allowed to sell 100 rounds per person per day.
Per day, mind you. Per. effing. day.
This constitutes a 'shortage'.
Seriously, people, WTF.
