Last night I was standing at a checkout counter buying
some ammo. There was another guy doing the same
and we were chatting. Suddenly, this bozo-looking
brush-cut guy behind us starts muttering. I asked if
he was speaking to me. He said, “Daggone Trigger-lovers,
Y’oughtta stay in yer own place.”
I said, “What did you call me?” He replied, “Ah called
yew a stinkin’ trigger-lover.” I asked what he meant.
So he told me he was a loyal Dianne Feinstein, Bill
Clinton, Al Gore “anti-gun militant.”
I asked what he had against guns. He told me that
they were black and loud, and his kids had to go to
school with the children of trigger-lovers.
I politely informed him that we regard “trigger-lover”
as a pejorative term and that we prefer to be called
Armed Americans and that regardless of his opinion,
guns were a Constitutional right.
He told me that he didn’t give a hoot what we wanted.
All he wanted was for us to stay in our place. I informed
him again that guns were a Constitutional right, and that
this was our country, too. I even reminded him that
although we are a minority, we were still productive
members of society and had every right to do as we wish.
At that, he started yelling, “CONSTITUTION -- CONSTIPATION !!!!
Who cares about that kinda stuff? Ah jist hates dang
trigger-lovers an evverthang they stand fer.”
Pretty soon, store security arrived to investigate the
hubbub and at being questioned, the guy went nuts.
Last I saw of him, he was being dragged to the office
by the heels screaming, “Daggone trigger-lovin’
Charlton Heston, dang blasted morons oughtta stay
in Triggertown where they belong.”
