Why you need a gun in a parking lot
**************************************************

The antis are always saying that it is the presence of a gun that
causes arguments to escalate to violence.

Hmmm – I’m not sure what happened then in this case.

I guess it must have been the presence of a screwdriver that made one
man start stabbing the other over a parking space.

Gee, I have picked up lots of screwdrivers, all different sizes and
makes, but never did I suddenly feel an uncontrollable urge to stab
someone over a parking space.

Perhaps the driver had some kind of special ‘assault’ screwdriver
that Sarah Brady will now ask Congress to ban?

Or perhaps some people will kill you with whatever they get their
hands on if you have made them angry?

Too bad he lived in MD and couldn’t defend himself.

screwdriver. The other faces assault charges. The two were arguing
over a parking spot.
