Heh... I'd have paid to watch that...

It's amazing how quickly the presence of arms makes assholes vacate. The main reason the Klan started to use bombs was because their victims started buying firearms and started shooting back.


The origin of the term "Saturday Night Special" was a bit of black slang, referencing a period play called "Darkie Town Saturday Night", whose plot involved white thugs amusing themselves by invading the ghetto and inflicting violence. 

One should remember this the next time some statist starts complaining about Saturday Night Specials.
