You get yourself all ready to argue a point, then they throw you a curve ball.
Sometimes it’s just impossible to weigh the good against the bad. That old saying, “People kill, not guns” is true, but you have to admit, a society cocked and loaded is bound to have a much higher crime rate than [...]

If anyone ever tells you we’re not barbaric, point them to this story.
“[T]hat can be very threatening to someone’s ego and their sense of identity.”
