An official from a Mississippi gun group flatly states that restrictive laws have no effect on injuries and deaths from firearms. She doesn’t give a shit that states with gun control rank highest on safety, while states like hers, Mississippi, with virtually no gun control, rate – er – dead last (except for White Power Wonderland Idaho).
I think when your state, for decades, ranks last or almost last on all measures of education, health, and welfare, a weird inversion sets in, and your abject failure becomes a point of pride. Ole Miss did it again! No other state has our sweet synergy of ignorance, paranoia, and hoplophilia. Y’all come down, y’hear?
