9. This recent upsurge

in drive-by baseball-battings, knifings, and fistings is becoming a real concern. Not to mention the number of holdups and robberies which are committed by brandishing baseball bats and knives. Suicides by baseball bats, knives, and fists are also on the upswing.

And we all know that the designed intent of automobiles, shovels, picks, and other tools is to kill and maim living things. The "fact" that these objects are also used as utilitarian implements is only an incidental application of their real purpose.

Guns, on the other hand are specifically designed and manufactured as implements for the good of mankind, and their occasional lethality is just a product of misuse and criminal opportunity. If only everyone carried guns 24/7 we would soon become a crime-free society with no real need for baseball bats, knives, automobiles, or shovels.

Now I'm off to the Gungeon to get my daily fill of reasonable and rational NRA fun-filled facts about the virtues of keeping and bearing arms. I may even join the Gungeon Militia so that I can wear the hat, and learn the secret pledge.
