I found NRA chief Wayne La Pierre’s comment that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” to be annoying for a variety of reasons, which I won’t go through here because I’ve covered this subject too much recently.
But, its been bugging me because, beyond all the substantive reasons, there was just one thing missing. Why was this bugging me so much? I couldn’t put my finger on that last elusive reason for a week. And then this afternoon it hit me.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a paperclip, a chocolate bar, and some string.
Your move, Wayne.
So true!
