There’s a rule in Texas – don’t point a gun at anyone unless you are going to pull the trigger.  And you better pull it quickly.

Cute Lori Klein

Arizona, a state with more rules than Chinese Monopoly, apparently doesn’t have that one.

Arizona state Sen. Lori Klein (R), a gun-rights champion, keeps a loaded raspberry-pink handgun in her purse, and during an interview with Arizona Republic reporter Richard Ruelas, she took it out and pointed it at him.

“Oh, it’s so cute,” Klein said, before aiming the gun at Ruelas’s chest to show off the red beam of the laser sight. Klein’s gun, a .380 Ruger, has no safety, but the senator assured Ruelas that he wasn’t in danger.

I’m from Texas so I know a thing or two about guns.

The Number Uno thing I know about guns is that they should not be cute.  Imagine the courtroom testimony:  “Yes, Your Honor, I shot his worthless beehind with my little lavender jeweled Ruger because I was wearing my Armani violet blouse that day.  I generally carry my pink sequined Ruger when I wear my Jimmy Choo peep toed slingback do me like a dog pumps.  And my red glitter Ruger is just perfect with my Prada handbag.  So, yes, I guess you could say that I put some thought into shooting him.”

Number Dos thing I know about guns is that if you point a loaded gun at someone and don’t pull the trigger, they are still gonna be real testy about it.  For example, if Ms. Klein had done that to me, she would be taking her Ruger home that night, but it wouldn’t be in her purse.

Number Three-o thing I know about guns is that pointing one at a reporter is classified as Olympic size  dumb because they buy their ink by the barrel and their paper by the ton.  People as far away as Texas will be making fun of you.

By the way, Lori Klein is the same State Senator who made a racist speech on the floor of the Arizona House. Republicans must be so proud of her.
