I don't think a good solution to robbery is citizenry popping guns off. Should robbers be killed extra judicially?

It's a good solution if you live in the culture of banditry, and the order that is necessary of society to function is itself threatened.  What gun nuts seem to ignore is that US has long ago ceased to be such a culture.

A lot of Wild West towns had strict "no guns" policies, though, and you had to hand in your guns when you entered.

Since I had an intruder last week and the law frowns on claymores and pits filled with punji sticks, I'm thinking of an upgrade.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
