In reply to the discussion: Father of 6-year-old Sandy Hook victim hopes to bring unique lawsuit against AR-15 makers [View all]discntnt_irny_srcsm

'If you want this military looking rifle that so many mass shooters want, there must be something wrong you. If there's something wrong with you, then you shouldn't have a rifle.' Am I getting close?
I still prefer Yossarian's version: "Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying."
