    You mean they could sell their guns? Good idea, but who would
    want to buy them?

    Bloody lethal in a crash. Usually a write off at any speed. If you see
    one, stop. It runs across in front of you and the rest all follow
    blindly.

    Like bloody socialists.

    The state when I grew up had a Conservation Department that begged people
    to go out and shoot the damned deer. Every winter the newspaper would run articles showing hundreds of deer yarded up in deep snow and starving. Do- gooders would arrange hay to be dropped from helicopters. Next year, more starving deer.

    A few decades ago, I was informed of at least one case where
    do-gooders had left hay for an overpopulation of deer. The deer
    continued to die. Analysis showed the deer starved to death with
    full stomachs, because their digestive systems lacked the enzymes
    to digest the types of hay that were being left for them.
