The government didn't take his gun away, but, if they had, would he still be alive? The gun didn't protect him or keep him safe. It didn't even win the argument. The road warrior got his NRA defended right to own a gun, carry it with him, and die with it in his hand. Scratch one NRA supporter in Arizona, done in by another one, who was released by the police on the belief the killing was in self defense:
When 56-year-old Mitchell Fickes grabbed his gun and jumped out of his pickup truck to express his apparent road rage to the man in the truck in front of him on Saturday, he probably didn't expect his fellow motorist to also have a gun. But this is Arizona, so of course the other driver had a gun -- and he fatally shot Fickes in the face. Also at link.
Comments
Maybe the guy could be buried on Tombstones Boot Hill, beside other victims of Wild West gunfights. Next to the likes of Les Moore, you know the one, 'Here Lies Les Moore, 4 shots from a 44, no Les, no more'.
