An Old Refrain

I don't know about y'all, but I'm a bit ticked off at politicians seeking to curb behavior that I'm not exhibiting by passing laws that force me to behave differently.

"Wasn't me, didn't do it," is no longer a positive defense.

"You share some tangential characteristics with a criminal," is now proof of malfeasance.

You'd think that someone saying that because I am white, male, and own guns I am guilty of mass murder because another white male murdered many people would be considered racist and sexist.

But it isn't any more.

All I know is I didn't shoot anyone.

All I know is I don't hate anyone for the color of their skin.  I will admit to hating a few people because of the content of their character, but I hate from afar.

I avoid people I dislike.

I'm way more the type that will be engaged in the most common form of gun violence (suicide) than the least common (any type of rifle).

This is not to say that I am suicidal.  Far from it.  I've got lots of things to hang around for and experience, so don't call the cops.
