TN addressing overpopulation

[lynxreign]

Tennessee has apparently decided to do something about overpopulation. The legislature there has just overridden the governor's veto of a bill allowing people to carry handguns in bars.
That's right, what could be dangerous about letting drunks carry loaded weapons? I understand their next step is even bolder. If you have a drink in one hand, you have to have a running chainsaw in the other.

I do not understand the obsession with guns in this country.

I almost typed "I do not understand the obsession with gnus in this country". I could understand an obsession with gnus far more easily.

The can have my gnu when they pry it from my cold dead hands. Hmm. Somehow that sounds more pervy than the other way.

GNUs don't kill people, YAKS kill people.

MEN FEEL IMPOTENT, AND GUN SYMBOLIZE POWER AND CONTROL.

(YES, BACK TO "GUN AS SUBSTITUTE PHALLUS" THEORY...)

If gnus are outlawed, then only outlaws will have gnus.
