Transient Sanity Events

Particles do escape from black holes, or so argues Steven Hawking. the phenomenon is called Hawking radiation. Things do escape beyond the event horizon at the NRA as well apparently. It's called a Transient Sanity Event.

Members of Open Carry Texas, people who think it's really cool to act like a 6 year old with his new Hopalong Cassidy cap gun on Christmas morning, are cutting their NRA membership cards in half over a statement that somehow escaped the gravitational well of craziness and irresponsibility:
  “Let’s not mince words. Not only is it rare, it’s downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one’s cause, it can be downright scary.” 
The official apology for having allowed a sanity particle to escape was forthcoming from the NRA who called it one man's opinion and assuring the OCT people that
 "Our job is not to criticize the lawful behavior of fellow gun owners”
 except perhaps fellow gun owners who think these people are "downright scary."
 “If they do not retract their disgusting and disrespectful comments, OCT will have no choice but to withdraw its full support of the NRA and establish relationships with other gun rights organizations that fight for ALL gun rights, instead of just paying them lip service the way the NRA appears to be doing,” 
 responded Open Carry Texas openly.You know what's even scarier?  The idea that anyone thinks the NRA is too reasonable and that there may be other groups who are even more irresponsible.

Can this possibly end without bloodshed?  Texas, like many states, has a " menacing" law that has consequences to someone who causes you  to believe they will cause physical harm or serious physical harm to another person, their family or property.  Frankly, someone coming into a place of business or even a public square looking like Pancho Villa, or even carrying a holstered pistol makes me feel menaced and without a doubt, the police would be deluged with calls about armed men at playgrounds, gas stations, fast food restaurants and everywhere.  Welcome to the OK corral because every one of these open carry fools might just have that secret blaze of glory fantasy.

  1. Was the NRA Leadership on vacation? This really isn't all that surprising I suppose.

    1. It must be hell to work for the NRA and have sane opinions about guns. I'm sure this guy is already looking for a job this morning.

  2. In the radiation physics of humanoid behavior, I dispute the hypothesis of Stephen Hawking. There is no evidence whatsoever to support any claim of a "Transient Sanity Event." Yesterday, the NRA apologized for the "downright scary" remark of a rogue and unauthorized spokesperson. In bowing to pressure from the OCT crowd, the NRA proved once again that Particles of Sanity do not escape from the Black Hole of Gun Nutz in the First Degree.

  3. Sanity and anti-sanity particles spontaneously arise and immediately annihilate under normal circumstances, but in the presence of an enormous Batshit field, some insanity particles are sucked in while the sanity particles escape. Not many, and here we see how brief is their existence.

    I think I deserve the No-Bull prize for this work. If I could get CERN's help in identifying the Batshit Boson, I would have it all tied up.
