… Jackson Lee: AR-15s Weigh as Much as 10 Moving Boxes. (Hat tip, Paul Davis.)

I haven’t shot a gun since I was in my teens — yes, you read that right — but I may soon go around the corner (there’s a gun store nearby) and get one, since I’m old and the city has become dangerous (because of people, not implements). I will then take steps to get a license to carry. As for these Congressional ninnies, if they can’t go to the trouble of getting the facts right, why should I not conclude that they are either really dumb or just lying? Why should anyone take them seriously?
