Subject: RE: BS: Umpqua: the gun was innocent...
Howard's latest post neatly expresses what my 2 sarcastic but muddled posts probably failed to do..

Re. this point

"I don't feel the need to arm myself to protect my home, and if I were to do so I would be at considerable risk of falling foul of the law myself. Neither do I feel threatened by my government, but if they did decide to oppress me by force I doubt I would last long against our highly professional and well trained armed forces. I think I'd choose to submit and survive rather than try to shoot it out."

The 2011 movie "Red State" is a cruel dark satire on armed to the teeth religious cult stand offs with the Govt.

The resulting siege is at the same time condemning of mass gun ownership, and a terrific wet dream for movie shoot out action fans...

Artistic ambiguity... bloody annoying innit,..!!!??? 😜
