You know you’ve crossed the wacko line when the NRA calls you a gun nut. The Texas Open Carry Troopers got kneecapped by the NRA.

Recently, demonstrators have been showing up in various public places, including coffee shops and fast food restaurants, openly toting a variety of tactical long guns. Unlicensed open carry of handguns is legal in about half the U.S. states, and it is relatively common and uncontroversial in some places.

Let’s not mince words, not only is it rare, it’s downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one’s cause, it can be downright scary.

No shoot, Sherlock.  Literally, no shoot. However, the NRA cannot simply wipe their hands of this one.  The Texas Idiots are just a natural outgrow of the NRA rhetoric and an expected progression of NRA ideas.

You broke it, NRA; you bought it.  You rile up people who are so dumb that they couldn’t roll a ball down a steep hill and then you want them to slow down?   Honey, it would be easier to eat a coil of barb wire.
